Florida Gators

16 October 2009

In an amazing display of terrible, brutal football my team is winless.  It's not like I'm knocking on the door or even pretending to be in close games.  I am BAD.  Brutal.  TERRIBLE.  I feel like the classic winless Bucs, not the Lions of last year.. the team that was so brutal when they asked their head coach, "What do you think of your team's execution?"  He replied, "I'm all for it."  That's how I feel with big name, little production players like Colt McCoy, Julio Jones, and Regis Benn leading the charge.  These guys are stiffs right now, Benn can't find the end zone with a map.  The last time Julio Jones scored gas was under $1.20 a gallon and the internet hadn't been invented yet.

better way to start out the preseason speculation then with some BCS National Title talk.  The Florida Gators head into the 2009 season as the reigning national champs as well as the all around preseason #1 team(I've yet to pick up a mag or hit a website that disagrees).

The Florida Gators are stacked again on both sides of the ball, and Urban Meyer seems to just now be hitting his coaching stride. So it may very well be a long couple of years for, not only the SEC but, the entire field of football powerhouses.

Hmmmmm... It was not that long ago in 2006, the number two Michigan Wolverines were jumped by the Florida Gators ( number four at the time ) to get into the BCS Championship game instead of having a rematch for the national title between Michigan and Ohio State. The reason Florida got in…style points. They played one more game than did Michigan and got enough style points to leap frog Michigan by running the score up 62-0 on Western Carolina.

8 January 2009

the field Thursday night in Miami, only one looked like he belonged there.  Tim Tebow and his Florida Gators looked like a championship caliber team even when their high octane offense posted their lowest first half total of the season wtih a measly seven points.  The Gators never panicked and put the ball in the hands of their leader, Tebow, who executed their game plan and seemed to will his team to victory.  While the 2007 Heisman winner stepped up and looked like the leader of the Gators, the 2008 Heisman winner faded to the back and looked afraid to have the ball in his hands.  Sam Bradford finally looked like a sophomore and didn't seem to want the ball in his hand down the stretch.  While statistically Bradford's night may be up to par, his play seemed to lack the shine and polish displayed in Oklahoma's stretch run.  Tonight was one of the first times I've seen Bradford lock onto receivers from the snap and lead the defense with his eyes.  His biggest mistake of the night was the one that seemed to seal the deal as it gave the Gators the ball back with the lead and nine plus minutes of clock remaining.  While many can blame Iglesias for not making the catch and therefore allowing the interception, Bradford's throw was one that never should've happened.  Take the sack and move on to the next play.  The throw came off his back leg, high and down the middle of the field, and into double coverage.  Game, Set, Match, try again next year OU.  And yet Bradford seemed amazed that the ball got picked off because in all honesty he probably does complete that pass against the Baylors, Colorados, and dare i say Texas Techs of the Big 12 world.  However, any top echelon team including those dreaded Longhorns would at the very least broke that pass up.  Bradford's championship game got summed up on fourth down with two and a half minutes remaining when he sat in the pocket patting the ball and finally short-armed a lob throw to his short hook receiver that was deservedly broken up.

 Yesterday night, this year's lineup of bowl games was released. As far as the BCS matchups go, there were really no surprises: Utah vs. Alabama in the Sugar, OSU vs. Texas in the Fiesta, Penn State vs. USC in the Rose, Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech in the Orange, and, of course, Florida vs. Oklahoma in the title game.

Wilson is a star.....but Tebow is a legend.

Turns out the only thing that kept Alabama from yet another SEC championship was a decision a teenager made some 3 years ago. The Crimson Tide stood toe to toe with the best team in the country and absorbed blow after blow with counter-punch after counter-punch. It was a game you could sense was being taped for replay as an instant classic. The drama was thick. The star players lined each sideline hoping to build upon already impressive resumes that would rest comfortably in the hands of most NFL GMs.

The last image I had in my mind when I went to bed last night was Sam Bradford’s smug face placating my television screen. His careless and UN-Interested demeanor just added to my frustration over Oklahoma’s 61-41 victory Saturday night.

Shonn Greene for the Heisman!  Is anyone with me?  Ok, I won't get that extreme, because I, along with other knowledgable college football fans, know that Sam Bradford should run away with the award.  Bradford's TD/Int Ratio has him as the front-runner for the Heisman, not to mention the fact that he's on a championship contending team.  It seems like that is the only thing voters are going to be caring to look for this year.  As I believe that Bradford should win, I believe that he is the only player who should be ahead of Shonn Greene.

Steelers 26 Jaguars 21

The Steelers dominated this game more than the score would indicate. It started off with a pick-6 by Jaguars CB Rashean Mathis, who seems to have the Steelers number, having picked 4 against the Steelers in their past few meetings. There was some lack of discipline by the Steelers with 10 Penalties for 129 yards, including a Pass Interference by CB Ike Taylor and several taunting penalties. Great 48 yard catch from Nate Washington, but he was also flagged for taunting the Jaguars' bench. The Defense played great, allowing 213 yards total, with 2 sacks from Lamarr Woodley (photo below) and 1 from James Harrison.

Steelers 23 Ravens 20 (OT)

The Steelers wore their throwback uniforms and extended their 14 game home winning streak on Monday night with a brutal game against the hated Ravens (aka - the Old Browns). The Steelers defense carried the day with 5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and 1 fumble recovery for a TD by LB Lamar Woodley. LB James "Silverback" Harrison had another monster game with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

College Football:

(4) Florida 30 Tennesee 6

The Florida Gators traveled north to Tennessee and kicked their butts rather handily. The offense was clicking smoothly and the defense allowed a mere 6 points. An expected victory, but there were some claims by Florida FB Emmanual Moody claimed that Tennessee played a " little dirty". Next up is Mississippi at home in Gainesville, FL.

Here's a video about Brian's time in Lovington:

 

College Football: 

Florida Gators 26  Miami 3

A dominant game by the Gators over the one-time powerhouse of college football.  Florida had lost 6 straight to the Hurricanes until this day.   Junior quarterback Tim Tebow completed 21 of 35 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns, and added 55 yards on 13 rushes, while the defense kept in control.
