The number one ranked University of Florida Gators take their score-at-will offense and beat-you-to-a-pulp defense on the road to nationally fourth-ranked Louisiana State University Oct. 10. This may be the first “real” test of the 2009 Gator bite when taking on the also undefeated Tigers in their own cage. In fact, both schools account for the last three national champions with Florida reigning supreme last year and 2006 while the Tigers were on top in ‘08.
Tebow Hurt
The big question posed is will star gator QB Tim Tebow not only suit up for the game, but will …read more

By now, you’ve probably seen the footage of Tim Tebow going down yesterday during the game against Kentucky. The sack by Taylor Wyndham was pretty hard, but the real doozy was his head knocking forward off of the leg of another Gator, Marcus Gilbert. Watch the slow motion footage if you want to see what really happens. Here it is again, if you haven’t seen it:
To be clear – as the announcer said, it was a clean hit. It was a hard hit, yes, but the injury came from Tebow’s head bouncing forward off of the leg of another player, …read more

Minor league baseball team the Fort Myers Miracle thought they were being clever to host an event with a Tim Tebow theme. However, their “What Would Tim Tebow Do?” night had to be changed after the team received a cease and desist letter via email from the University of Florida.
NCAA rules prohibit any college player lending his name or picture to a commercial promotion. While it is unclear whether or not Florida could be fined over an event they couldn’t control, it is better safe than sorry, and they quickly emailed the Miracle about the event. The team was a …read more

After major speculation, the latest Tim Tebow Whodunit has been solved. Apparently, one SEC coach didn’t vote for the golden boy for the preseason All-SEC Team. Oh, that doesnt mean he didn’t make the team. It just wasn’t unanimous.
The culprit? Lane Kiffin was suspected, but the real criminal here was South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier. Spurrier has said that the vote for Old Miss’ Jevon Snead was a mistake. Apparently, he wasn’t the one who filled out his ballot – the director of operations did it. Spurrier just ok’ed it, missing the vote for Snead over Tebow.
Honestly…who cares? Tebow wasn’t a …read more

Whatever you think about Florida as a team or their heroic leader, Chuck Norris Tim Tebow, it was a pretty impressive, passionate, off-the-cuff speech he gave in September after they lost to Mississippi. What did he say?
To the fans and everybody in Gator Nation, I’m sorry. I’m extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season. That was my goal something Florida has never done here.
I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any playing in the entire country play as hard as I will play the rest of the …read more

You can just hear Matt Ryan saying that. He’s had an amazing season and will likely go as a top 5 draft pick. Yet, his accomplishments have been sidelined with Tim Tebow this and Tim Tebow that. Where was the Matt Ryan love?
Thankfully, the voters from the Manning Award remembered him. Although Tebow is a fantastic player, will he translate to professional football? Probably not. Ryan, on the other hand, stands to have a long and illustrious career in the NFL, as his QBing style more closely fits what pro ball demands.
The Manning Award is the only quarterback award …read more

Some wrote off the Michigan – Florida game, but I kept the faith…and it really did end up being one of the most exciting games of the bowl season year.
It looked bad for Michigan early on, especially with Michael Hart showing us why HE didn’t have a chance at the Heisman. I tell ya, when Hart is good, he’s good…but after over 1000 carries with NO fumbles, Hart lost his grip on the ball inside the 5 not once, but twice.
Tebow made some good plays. I’ll give him that. But Chad Henne’s throws to Adrian Arrington was what made this …read more

Here’s a look at how the votes broke down for the top four contenders, who were invited to New York this evening for the Heisman ceremony:
First Place Votes:
1. Tim Tebow, 462
2. Darren McFadden, 291
3. Colt Brennan, 54
4. Chase Daniel, 25
Others receiving first place votes: Dennis Dixon, Pat White, Matt Ryan, Kevin Smith, Glenn Dorsey, Chris Long
Total Points:
1. Tim Tebow: 1,957
2. Darren McFadden: 1,703
3. Colt Brennan: 632
4. Chase Daniel: 425
Perhaps significant is the fact that McFadden received the most second place votes and Brennan received the most third place votes. So, the points totals ended how they should have.
Do you …read more

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Moment ago, Darren McFadden was passed up for the Heisman. Who won? Why, Tim Tebow, of course!
Was there really any doubt he would win? Personally, I was cheering for McFadden, although him winning seemed like a long shot. I think Tebow’s win came down to three things:
1. He broke the 20-20 record and had 51 touchdowns in the regular season.
2. He played through the season without injuries.
3. He consistently improved since his shaky showing last season. That means that he WORKED during the off-season.
Does Tebow deserve the Heisman? He sure does. That doesn’t mean …read more

These people seem to think so! We’ll see what happens this weekend with his game and Tebow’s game…
