The SEC Championship game

Over the next two months, we will be finding other stuff to blog about with the absence of Nascar. Don't be surprised to find some random stuff....like football, cooking, shopping, traveling, etc. Hopefully, we will have plenty to write about!

The Florida/Alabama game is this weekend and I can not wait until I can stop hearing band waggon jumpers screaming Roll Tide Roll. So annoying. The only good thing about Alabama is that they can wear hounds tooth as part of their school colors. Bama is going to be another victim of the Florida Gators high-powered offense and hard hitting defense. Lets check out the stats....


Florida Category Alabama
212.3 Passing Offense 69.3

Numbers don't lie.


Now lets talk about the 2008 season for both teams. Bama and FL played 6 of the same teams in 2008. Florida scored higher in 4 of these 6 games.

Tennessee

Florida 30 vs Tennessee 6 - Alabama 29 vs Tennessee 9.

Arkansas

Florida 38 vs Arkansas 7 - Alabama 49 vs Arkansas 14

Ole Miss

Florida 30 vs Ole Miss 31 - Alabama 24 vs Ole Miss 20

LSU

Florida 51 vs LSU 21 - Alabama 27 vs LSU 21 (in overtime)

Kentucky

Florida 63 vs Kentucky 5 - Alabama 17 vs Kentucky 14

Georgia

Florida 49 vs Georgia 10 - Alabama 41 vs Georgia 30

Bama is going into this weekend's game undefeated while FL has a 1 point loss against them; vs. Ole Miss (who Bama also played Ole Miss and only won by 4 points). Between the schedule results and the stats, it is clear that Florida is the better team. Take a look at the Kentucky, Georgia and LSU game. Bama struggled in all 3 while Florida ate them and spit them out for breakfast. I am not being cocky, again, numbers don't lie.

I can not wait until Saturday!!

GO GATORS! Let's go secure that 2nd Heisman for Tim Tebow!
