Almost perfect game plan: UF 30, Tenn 6

I really enjoyed watching the Gators "hand it" to the Vols today. My wife took a nap during the second half, and then woke up and asked me if I watched the whole game since the score was 20-0 at half time. Yes, I watched the entire game, and it was great! The only thing better would have been to listen to the radio voice of the Gators saying "Oh, My ! " over and over. Actually it was enjoyable just watching the Vols self-destruct during this game. And I got my wish - I did not hear "Rocky Top" much today, or maybe it was drowned out by all the Tennessee fans booing their team!

It was quite humorous during the 2nd half, when one of the CBS announcers was observing that the Gators had played a perfect game - and right at that moment Tim Tebow walked back onto the field and the wire from Coach Meyer's headphones got caught on his uniform. Tebow pulled the headphones right off of his coach's head, and he did not even realize it. Coach Meyer's face went from intense concentration to a smile. Then the CBS announcer said, "Well almost perfect today!" as they replayed the scene again. That sums up the game today - the Gators performed and accomplished the game plan of the coaches and it was fun to watch. The Gator nation should be very happy today!

Gators ride out the storm to win: UF 26, Miami 3

The Miami Hurricanes played tough with the Gators until the 4th quarter Saturday night in the Swamp. But the Gators under the leadership of Tim Tebow survived the impact of the Hurricanes defense and took over the game in the last quarter. The score may look like a blow out, but if you watched the game you would know the score was still 9-3 going into that quarter. However, this was not a nail biter and I sensed that somehow the Gators offense would break down Miami's defense before this game was over! GO GATORS!
