Highlights from Florida - Vandy game

You may want to turn down the sound but this is a nice video of highlights as filmed on the sidelines of last week's game at Vanderbilt.

Gators have an easy win over Vandy



This game was over by halftime and Tim Tebow played very little of the second half of the game. It will not help his Heisman numbers, but why score another 35 points in the second half? Coach Meyer and the Gators have their eyes on the SEC Championship game in December against Alabama. So let's hope they stay focused on the next week's game against the ol' ball coach Steve Spurrier and the Gamecocks of SC.

Gator Bite


After watching the game again on TV this week, I decided to post a couple more links to articles about the "game of the year!" (not trying to rub it in!)

I was surprised but happy to open Sunday's local paper, the Gwinnett Daily Post, and find this huge photo of Tebow and the headline: "GATOR BITE"


The Florida quarterback said he sprained his ankle on a 4-yard run in the third quarter. He just as easily could have told everyone he hurt it kicking around Georgia.

After all, this was a Gator Stomp.


Another interesting take was published by the Atlanta Journal & Constitution:
"Richt sickened by Georgia’s loss to Florida"


"Kind of feeling kind of sick,” Georgia coach Mark Richt said Sunday of the team’s aftertaste.

Florida embarrasses Georgia, 49-10

"Florida waited a year to celebrate against Georgia -- and boy did the eighth-ranked Gators get to party." recap at ESPN.com



What a game! The Gators definitely embarrassed the Bulldogs in Jacksonville in a game with the SEC Championship game on the line. By the fourth quarter, most of the Bulldog fans had vanished, and I think when Georgia finally scored a touchdown near the end of the game, some of the Gator fans were applauding them. I was expecting a close game but Tebow and the Gators easily handled the Dawgs. I think we can expect to see Florida and Alabama in the SEC Championship game in December and if the Gators beat #2 Alabama for the SEC Championship then the National Championship game could be in the picture, too.

From south of the border, read the GainesvilleSun.com article "Winner Take All"

"Certainly, this is a BCS elimination game. The loser files its national title hopes. The loser also will be virtually eliminated from the SEC East race and therefore all but eliminated from an SEC championship."
