Sugar Bowl attendance has spoken and it appears a wildly popular New Year’s resolution is giving up carbs.

1 play, 1 defensive TD. This could be fun.

— George Schroeder (@GeorgeSchroeder) January 3, 2013

My math might be off, but at this pace it’s a lock for Louisville to put up 1,440 points on Florida.

— Mobutu Sese Seko (@Mobute) January 3, 2013

Florida now has a chance to score. Its defense has taken the field.

“I BET YOU WON’T HIT A MOTHERF[blasted by Matt Elam]“

— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 3, 2013

Give it up to Sean McDonough: “splattered” is the correct verb to describe a Matt Elam hit

— Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) January 3, 2013

Matt Elam’s head is his own opening act.

— The Solid Verbal (@SolidVerbal) January 3, 2013

Louisville fans tonight are a Noah’s Ark of anthropomorphic terror.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 3, 2013

This might be a good time to remind everyone that Louisville brings almost everyone back next year.

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 3, 2013

In honor of “The Pistol For Driskel,” allow me to submit “Take It Peasey” as the song for this drive

— Chip Patterson (@cnpatterson3) January 3, 2013

Will Muschamp looks like he could use a couple of hand grenades right about now. One to drink, one to throw.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 3, 2013

RT if you’ve puked into Pat O’s fountain and made the fire bigger

Overheard just now in the Superdome: “Time for a rally dip.” twitter.com/thecajunboy/st…

UF’s mascot should be an alligator with mouth cancer

— Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) January 3, 2013

Tim Tebow told Will Muschamp he doesn’t want to run the Wildcat tonight

— Smart Football (@smartfootball) January 3, 2013

UF fans can take solace in the fact that Sean McDonough delights in telling the audience that Teddy Bridgewater almost went to Miami

— Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) January 3, 2013

Despite a 2-TD lead, Louisville only has a halftime yardage edge of 185-150, which oddly enough is also Will Muschamp’s blood pressure.

— Doug (@CaptainAnnoying) January 3, 2013

How does one design a flag corps routine for You Give Love a Bad Name?

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 3, 2013

Looks like Florida is going over the Driskel Cliff.

— Aubielicious (@Aubielicious) January 3, 2013

Abraham Lincoln may be posthumously proud of Florida’s vet school or whatever, but if he attended a Florida home game he would be mortified.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 3, 2013

Florida tries onside kick to start the half. Louisville recovers. Florida commits two personal foul penalties. Chris Johnson is ejected.

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 3, 2013

WILL MUSTN’TCHAMP

— Jon Bois (@jon_bois) January 3, 2013

I told a Gator friend earlier this year that UF reminds me of ’08 Alabama. They are nailing that analogy with this Sugar Bowl debacle.

— Michael (@BravesAndBirds) January 3, 2013

Charlie Strong doesn’t need to go to the SEC. Charlie Strong brought the SEC with him to Louisville.

— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) January 3, 2013

Conversation point: Worst Florida bowl performance since Strong was the interim vs Miami.

— Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) January 3, 2013

Very confused. Am I supposed to write that the Big East or ACC embarrassed the mighty SEC?

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 3, 2013

The Florida offense’s best play is its own strip-sack. Given Florida’s offense: plausible.

— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) January 3, 2013

At this point Florida is just making up stuff to get penalized for.

— Ralph D. Russo (@ralphDrussoAP) January 3, 2013

Matt Elam’s going to tackle a police horse on Bourbon tonight

— Bobby Big Wheel (@BobbyBigWheel) January 3, 2013

Also, I hate that this game is in a dome. Sweaty Muschamp rage Bama swoop hair is the #GOAT hair in all of college football.

— TomahawkNation.com (@TomahawkNation) January 3, 2013

If Boyd and Murray return, 2013 QB depth is going to be outrageous. Manziel, Mariota, Hundley, Bridgewater, McCarron, Miller… keep going.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 3, 2013

Tonight, Will Muschamp has finally proven himself worthy of the title “Texas coach-in-waiting.”

— The Solid Verbal (@SolidVerbal) January 3, 2013

Well no wonder Florida is losing, the stink of the Jets is all over their sideline.

— sarah sprague (@sarah_sprague) January 3, 2013

See, I would have thought the nations No. 114 passing offense was suited for a comeback.

— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) January 3, 2013

Xavier Nixon runs off holding up 4 fingers. Maybe he believes in a 4th-quarter comeback, maybe that’s how many false starts he’ll commit.

— Jason Lieser (@PBPjasonlieser) January 3, 2013

Actual message in the press box: They’re turning the lights off an hour after the game.

— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) January 3, 2013

Shot of Tebow on the sidelines, then a Florida pick. Mark Sanchez commutative value. It’s math.

— sarah sprague (@sarah_sprague) January 3, 2013

By ranking, no. By point spread, yes. RT @slmandel: Is this the biggest upset in BCS history? Boise and Utah were undefeated top 10 teams…

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 3, 2013

“Teddy Bridgewater” sounds like a legendary rock producer from the 1970s. “That hollow, heart-stopping drum sound? Pure Teddy Bridgewater.”

— Mobutu Sese Seko (@Mobute) January 3, 2013

and, as many have pointed out — and i almost forgot — florida could’ve been clipped by ul-l AND mizzou. at the swamp.

— Bomani Jones (@bomani_jones) January 3, 2013

Florida fans must really miss Charlie Weis right now, because damn, it sure was fun to KNOW whose fault games like this were.

— Josh (@JoshuaBBlack) January 3, 2013

Sugar Bowl rep is getting paid like $250,000 for that speech.

— Matt Hinton (@MattRHinton) January 3, 2013

Seven Florida players ran straight to Charlie Strong after the game to hug and congratulate him
