Gator update # 2 in the AP Poll

The Gators will be playing the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee this Saturday, Nov. 29th, at 3:30 pm (ABC) This will be one tough non-conference game before the SEC Championship on Dec. 6th. I expect the Gators will take care of business in Tally. The SEC title game could turn out to be the semi-final for the national championship game in January as the Gators are #2 in the AP poll this week just behind the #1 Alabama Crimson Tide, and the winner of this SEC title game most likely will be playing for the national championship. Go Gators!

romp in the swamp - Gators 70, Citadel 19


No surprise to anyone, but the Gators had an easy win today in the Swamp. It was the last home game of the season and the team was not looking ahead to next week's rivalry game at Florida State. Obviously, the final score of Florida 70, Citadel 19 could have been higher if Tim Tebow had played the entire game. Click to read recap of game at ESPN.com

Florida plays last home game of season against the Citadel



Florida Gators vs the Citadel Bulldogs at 1:30 PM today in the Swamp.

The game will be broadcast on Pay-per-view television only, so I am not sure if it will be available on line at 930thefox.com. The big question about this game is "How high will Florida score against the Citadel?" One sportscaster has already predicted the score to be 99-0. Hopefully it will not be that big of a blowout, but after the Gators beat the Gamecocks 56-6 last week anything is possible. The other big question of the day "Who will win in tonight's big game - Texas Tech or Oklahoma?" If Oklahoma wins the top two teams in next weeks polls could be Alabama and Florida. That would be an interesting turn of events.

South Carolina at Florida, 3:30 pm on CBS


The ol' ball coach, Steve Spurrier, returns to the swamp today. Spurrier won the Heisman trophy as QB for the Gators in the 60's and he returned to be the head coach in the 1990's. But now he returns as the coach of the Gamecocks. The Gators hope to spoil his reunion by beating them today. Game time is 3:30pm in the Swamp and will be on CBS TV. Read to preview at ESPN

Tebow's eye witness

We noticed a few weeks ago that Tim Tebow had something different in the blacks under his eyes. It took a few glances to figure out that under one eye it read "Phil" and under the other eye it read "4:13" - the TV camera men probably did not even notice it, but we knew it stood for a verse in the Bible in Philippians - chapter 4, verse 13 which reads "I can do all things through Christ who strengtheneth me." I have been looking for a photo of Tebow to post for a few weeks showing his eyes, so thanks to the Gainesville Sun (gatorsports.com) here it is. Read the article at gatorsports
