               GATORS WIN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE

  (Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 
University of Florida Gators for winning the Bowl Championship Series 
National Football title last night.
  After a hard fought season, the Gators proved victorious last night 
with a dazzling 41-14 triumph over the Ohio State University Buckeyes. 
I want to extend special congratulations to Florida's head coach, Urban 
Meyer, who trained this football team to be the best in the country. 
All of the athletes are shining stars for the university and deserve 
our highest praise.
  Last night, the University of Florida made history by winning 
national titles in both men's basketball and football in the same 
season. Florida's academic reputation is stellar, our sports teams are 
number one and our fans are like none other. Mr. Speaker, it is great 
to be a Florida Gator. Congratulations to the students, faculty, 
alumni, and friends of the University of Florida.
  I have just one thing left to say, Mr. Speaker, and that is: Two 
bits, four bits, six bits a dollar. All for the Gators, stand up and 
holler. Go Gators!
