New York Times interview with Tim Tebow

An interesting Q&A with Tim Tebow!

V's SEC Power Poll

1. Florida (Still tops till they lose)
2. LSU (looking very good)
3. Arkansas (tough test at Bama this weekend)
4. South Carolina (great win between the hedges)
5. Alabama (Can Saban contain D-Mac?)
6. Tennessee (Tough test at the Swamp)
7. Kentucky (Will find out about their D against Louisville)
8. Auburn (tough home loss to a good South Florida team)
9. Georgia (No TD's in home loss to SoCar?)
10. Vanderbilt (looks like another long season)
11. Miss. State (I like their defense to give them a chance to win some games)
12. Ole Miss (Their lack of defense gives them the cellar)

Mike Bianchi is a douche bag

Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel has predicted that Tim Tebow will win multiple Heisman trophies before his career at the University of Florida is over.

This guy will go down as one of the greatest quarterbacks in college football history. He's got the talent, he's got the team, he's got the arm, he's got the legs, he's got the courage, he's got the coach. He's got it all.

Well, no duh! Most Gator fans knew this after Tebow first ripped past the Kentucky defense on national TV. We knew it when he bowled over Tennessee defender to clinch his first truly legendary moment. We knew he could throw the ball when passed for a couple TD's against LSU. Welcome to the bandwagon, douche bag!

Yes, Leak was the starting quarterback when the Gators won the national title last year, but if Tebow had started they might have been even better. If Tebow had started, the Gators probably wouldn't have lost to Auburn and would have finished unbeaten and avoided the end-of-the-season poll controversy that allowed them to play for the championship.

Leak was a good college quarterback with no chance of playing in the NFL. Tebow will be a great college quarterback who will someday be a first-round NFL draft pick.

Look at how much a few months can change someone. Instead of completely overlooking Chris Leak, in a January 9th column Bianchi said:

Talk about validation and vindication, maybe now quarterback Chris Leak finally will get the credit he is due as one of the greatest quarterbacks in Florida and Southeastern Conference history.

So which is it, Mikey? Is Leak just a good college quarterback or was he one of the greatest quarterbacks the SEC has ever seen?

I've got as much of a Tebowner as anyone, but Tebow probably didn't have the composure and knowledge to negotiate that schedule. Let's also not underestimate the vast amount of information he gained from working with Chris Leak. Tebow is as good as he is due to Chris Leak's influence and not in spite of it.

Gator Boys to get their rings...

The back to back national champion Florida Gators basketball team will be at the Swamp Saturday to receive their latest national championship rings. All will be there except for Lee Humphrey who is currently playing in Europe.

Injury concerns for Gators ahead of Vols visit.

A number of players suffered injuries in Saturday's victory over Troy. Most notably Andre Caldwell, who has been ruled out for the Tennessee game.

Brandon James saw his first action of the season after being suspended for the opener. He was also injured but he is expected to play on Saturday.

Troy @ Florida

I took in the Florida - Troy game at Buffalo Wild Wings in Baymeadows with my friend Justin and his girlfriend Heidi.

Justin is a big Noles, but he's a good guy and doesn't deserve to have that held against him.

Needless to say his game did not go as well as mine. The Seminoles struggled early, falling behind 17-3 in the first half. Justin wasn't amused.

The Gators, on the other hand, scored on every possesion of the first half and lead 42-7 at the break. Three beers and three jagerbombs assured me that the second half would be a blur, which it pretty much was.

About all I remember with clarity is seeing Tebow in the game when we had scored fifty points. This was late in the 4th quarter. I'm sure Urban had a good reason, I was too hung over to sit through the Urban Meyer Show, but I TiVo'd it and will catch it later.

The only other memory I have of the night was the Ole Ball Sack pulling off the upset and getting his second win Between the Hedges. As much as I love to give the man shit, it was great to watch him take it to the pups again.
