Good article really..
Yep, very nice article. Osborne (will we ever be able to convince you to spell the man's name correctly?) is a class act who isn't afraid to compliment others where he sees excellence.

I will say, you're very selective in your quotes, Osborne (again, no u) actually said "right now, the Gators are the standard of excellence" just as the Huskers were in the 90s. Kind of like your sig, where I did acknowledge at that point that the SEC was superior, not for all time as your quote implies.

Actually, as the article points out, there are a lot of similarities to the 90s Huskers and this decade's Gators. If you guys manage to pull off a NC this year, it will equal the Huskers 3 Championships in 4 years in '94, '95 and '97.
