Gators didn't take care of business


With only one game standing in their way between the national championship game, the Gators just did not take care of business.

Gatorsports interviewed several players and this article gives some perspective to the game and the past year. Click to read more....


Congrats to the Gators for winning two National Championships in four years, and for maintaining a 22-0 record going into the SEC championship game. The "Gator nation" of fans is just not used to losing! We can look forward to a win at the Sugar Bowl game as the Gators will face the Big East Champs - Cincinnati Bearcats in New Orleans - January 1, 2010 at 8:30 pm.

Tebow selected as Heisman candidate for the third time!


Tebow won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and then came in 3rd place in 2008. He has been selected as one of the top 5 candidates for the 2009 award. He is also the first person to finish in the top 5 for the Heisman trophy three times, since Herschel Walker in the early 1980's.

Florida loses to Alabama in SEC Title game


Alabama kept the Gator offense off of the field for much of the 2nd half, so there was not much Tebow could do but watch.



"It's tough. You know it's not how you want to go out," Tebow said. "They were just better than us today."


Alabama (13-0) moves on to Pasadena for the BCS championship game, an accomplishment they noted by passing out roses in the locker room. In fact, the school fight song, "Yea Alabama," refers to a long-ago Rose Bowl appearance.


Tebow and the Gators (12-1) will likely settle for the Sugar Bowl, denied a shot at their second straight national title and third in four years.


"Our standard was to be as good as Florida," Alabama linebacker Cory Reamer said. "Today, we were better than them."
