It's rivalry week. That means turkey, pies, family, and Thursday football that doesn't include teams like Nevada or UCF. That means goofy cups and trophies that are often times more important than the previous 11 games' results combined. That means the Gators are one game away from completing a perfect season, ...Published on: 17th November, 2009
While most of the FBS schools are locked up in conference matchups this week, the No. 1 Florida Gators and the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide are scrimmaging. No, the teams didn't schedule their bye week late, though it feels that way. Both teams are playing pathetic opponents, which will be ...Published on: 14th November, 2009
As the end of the year draws near, Gator fans must also say goodbye to the most productive decade in Florida Gators history. Two national championships, three SEC championships, and an opportunity to add one more of each. The Gators are also saying goodbye to a turbulent decade that saw ...Published on: 11th November, 2009
This week, the No. 1 Gators take on the OBC in Columbia in what may amount to the game of the year for the Gamecocks. I realize Nov. 28 is the date most South Carolina fans have circled on their calendars, but beating the top BCS title contender will be ...Published on: 2nd November, 2009
This just in, not too nice things sometimes happen on football fields. On Saturday, one of those not too nice exchanges occurred between Brandon Spikes and Washaun Easley. During a gang tackle, Spikes reached into Easley's helmet with a "nyuck, nyuck, nyuck" and an eye poke. The play was dirty, unsportsmanlike, and ...Published on: 27th October, 2009
"At some point this offense has to wake up." I've used that to excuse the Gators' stagnant offense for a few weeks now, but by the third quarter of the Mississippi State game I'd given up and was only saying "Beer funnel!" That's right, Gators, I'm drinking like I'm watching a 3–4 ...Published on: 18th October, 2009
As I slumped into my chair following the kick from Sturgis' to put the Gators on top of the Razorbacks for good, I realized something. Actually, I realized a few things, like the dive only works against some teams, Janoris Jenkins is human (Joe Haden is not though), and Riley ...Published on: 11th October, 2009
Instead of torching the Tigers, the Gators chose to beat them into submission, controlling the clock and dominating defensively in a 13–3 win that looked like it came out of the Steelers' archives, not the mind of high octane spread guru Urban Meyer. Regardless, the Gators won, remained undefeated, and widened ...Published on: 9th October, 2009
We all know that the story heading into Saturday is whether or not Tim Tebow will play. Losing a player of his caliber will affect the game Saturday, even if Brantley plays lights out. Many analysts have picked this game as the letdown for Florida, going as far to say that ...Published on: 8th October, 2009
First off, Wag of the Finger (WoTF) to me for stealing this shtick from Colbert. Dear Stephen, if this is some sort of copyright violation, bring me on your show and I'll apologize. Anyway, now that the legal mumbo jumbo is out of the way, a Tip of the Hat (ToTH) ...
