Hi Sultano

The expression 'inasmuch as' means 'in view of the fact that'.

Inasmuch as the BNC has lots of good usage examples, I will simply provide a link:

a simpler (IMO) way to represent "inasmuch as" is to say "given that" or "because" -- at least in some cases:

Given that Florida killed Ohio State last night, I think I'm going to hurl.

Because the BNC has lots of good usage examples, I will simply provide a link.

What does it mean? do you mean that you will support Ohio against Florida?

One of the meanings of hurl is "to vomit".

As for Ohio State/Florida, the game has already been played (last night). Ohio State played horribly and Florida played the game of their lives, and Florida won the game.
