 WASHINGTON (AP) - Any time he honors a championship team, President Bush looks for a chance to bring up the underdog theme. If he can link it to his own presidency, that's even better. So welcome to the White House, Florida Gators. You fit right in.
In a chilly South Lawn ceremony, Bush lauded the University of Florida's football team on Monday for its 2006 championship season. The Gators routed Ohio State, 41-14, in January despite being given little chance to win by oddsmakers and millions of college football fans.
"Like you might remember, all the pre-game polls said you couldn't win," Bush told the team. "So much for polls."
