GO GATORS!!!!!!

In less than 2 days, I will be at the BCS championship game in Miami. I cant sleep and I honestly feel like a 5 year old at Christmas waiting on Santa. When I heard the National Championship game was in Miami this year, I dreamt that FL would make it, giving me a chance to go to the game. I had this strong sense of confidence we would make all the way...ask any of my friends who had to hear my mouth all season long. Yet....we lost to Ole Miss by 1 point and from there on, I thought we had no chance.....then one by one, fate made its way. Now here I am, a little more than 24 hours away from heading to Miami to watch my boys try for the title. Not to mention, I have the greatest seats ever. I am being classy and I refuse to speak smack about Oklahoma or Sam Bradford, but it is going to be Heisman vs Heisman, the true 08 Heisman winner will show through and I cant wait to see it in person. GO GATORS!!!!

Please say it isn't so.....

I copied the story below from the Orlando Sentinal and I am trying to hold back the tears. There is a possibility of us loosing Tebow, Brandon Spikes and Percy Harvin a year early. I am just ill. No words can explain this.....stay tuned, there will be an interview w/ Tebow tomorrow on College Gameday.

Gators quarterback Tim Tebow told the Sentinel on Tuesday that he'll "probably" petition to the NFL draft advisory committee to determine his potential status should he decide to leave school early."It's the smart thing to do," said Tebow, a junior. Tebow has not decided on his future and is focused on Saturday's SEC title game against No. 1 Alabama. The advisory committee is composed of NFL officials, scouts and general managers. Gators linebacker Brandon Spikes told Florida Today of his plans to petition, and Gators wide receiver Percy Harvin also might petition.
As one of the most celebrated college football players of all time, Tebow is working on his second Heisman Trophy campaign. How the Gators finish the season is expected to play a part in Tebow's NFL decision. The winner of Saturday's SEC title game could land a spot in next month's BCS National Championship in Miami. Either Oklahoma or Texas is expected to be the other team in that game.Tebow already has one national championship ring. He was Chris Leak's backup on the Gators' 2006 national championship team.The Heisman is awarded next week, after the conference title game. If Tebow could win college football's top individual award again, he would be only the second player to be a repeat Heisman winner, joining Ohio State running back Archie Griffin.

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US EARLY!

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
237.1 Rushing Offense 201.5
449.4 Total Offense 370.8
46.3 Scoring Offense 32.1
172.9 Passing Defense 174.9
102.8 Rushing Defense 73.6
275.7 Total Defense 248.5
12.2 Scoring Defense 11.5
263 1st Downs 230
.489 3rd Down Conv. .424
.688 4th Down Conv. .889
88-713 Penalties-Yards 48-422
19-8 Fumbles-Lost 18-9


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!

DAMN BCS

I know it isnt NASCAR related but I had to vent how much I truly hate the BCS. How did FL just go from number 5 in the AP to 10 in the BCS??? Plus we had a bye week????? I have been saying it for years....BCS needs to go to a playoff system. Heres some yummy for this story. Gotta love the Tebow.
