and again, it falls on the coaches shoulders...
Okay, now I know you're a Gator fan. I'm assuming you believe that Urban Meyer is a good coach, correct? So how 'bout the one game the Gators lost this year, against Ole Miss? Did it appear to you during that game that the Gators were 100% "up" for that game? If not, then Urban Meyer must be a failure in your eyes since he didn't get his team "up" to play the Rebels that day. That's what you're saying with your BS attempt at logic, dummy.
 
im just not expecting great things from the sc qb...he just has a great defense playing around him...if they were down like 10 or 14 in the 4th...could he lead them back? i highly doubt it
Maybe not, but you know what? That doesn't matter 'cause USC WON'T be behind Penn State that late in the game. At least, I don't believe they will.

Well I guess we ekked it out. I wasn't to happy with the Gators performance but I guess we go it done. Tim Tebow had to take over cause of percy being out. Glad we get 5 weeks to rest for the Championship game. GO GATORS!!!

You were playing Alabama. You're not supposed to own the game. You guys won it in the fourth quarter and Meyer did a helluva job coaching considering his RBs were battered. TT had a good game but his stats were not outstanding. Bradford had a slightly better day with OK, but enough I think to win him the trophy.
 
I think the Heisman is now a 2 man race between Bradford and Tebow
though i am a gator fan....i think Bradford will win....though i wouldnt be surprised if Tebow came out on top

I think the media wants Bradford. The ***'s a star and he isn't even out of college yet. Tebow delivered after his apologetic promise following the Ole Miss game. But with so much competition--McCoy has the better rating among QBs, Harrell has the most passing yards, and let's not forget RB Shonn Greene with 6.2 per carry--Tebow is unlikely to repeat, which I'm sure pleases AG over at OSU to no end.

What a great weekend!

The Florida Gators kicked 'Bama's ass! Wohoo!!!!

FLORIDA - 31
'Bama - 20

Congratulations to the Florida Gators, 2008 SEC CHAMPS!


GO GATORS!!!!!
 
I think McCoy is going to win the Heisman, he just means more to his team then any other quarterback. He has great passing numbers and leads his team in rushing. Im a Sooner and i watched him match blow to blow to the most explosive offense.

Living in Florida i got to watch Tim Tebow every weekend and he wasnt so great in every game and he couldnt get past Mississippi.

Bradford is the greatest passer I've seen but he has a lot of help around him like Tebow.

The stats be damned. That *** is absolutely amazing. He was drawing superlatives out of Lou Holtz last night and I don't think that's something Coach Holtz does all that often. Tim Tebow is a lot like Vince Young (college version) that way - he simply WILLS his team to victory. Good point about the fact that the Gators were playing an unbeaten 'bama team coached by a guy who's won a national championship of his own, by the way. What did Gator fans honestly expect, that U of F was going to win that game by 50 points? The national championship game appears to be set and even though I would have preferred seeing Texas against the Gators, January's BCS championship game should be a good one. Oklahoma has that scoring record they were obviously looking for, but I just can't pick against Tim Tebow. He is absolutely incredible and he should lead his team to victory on 08 January 2009...with the help of Jesus Christ, of course.
 
they are 12-0...they should get consideration into a bcs...it's hard to go unbeaten in your own conference...schedule does have a huge part to do with it...and it's not boise state's fault okla and the ducks didnt take them seriously...but they should get the nod over ohio state
No, it's not. But you can't rely on a superior opponent NOT taking your team seriously every time in order to give you a chance of beating them. The next time Boise State plays a GOOD team from a "BCS" conference, and as long as that team TAKES THE BOISE STATE BRONCOS SERIOUSLY FROM THE OPENING KICKOFF, we'll see how well Boise State does against them.

You know what has set Florida apart from the other top teams (with the possible exception of Texas) this season? The fact that they play both good OFFENSE and good DEFENSE. I was actually surprised that Alabama scored 20 points on them. Oklahoma's been scoring TONS of points lately, as anybody who's been following college football knows, but on defense they are not, in my opinion, as stout as Florida is. Besides, you're a self-proclaimed "Big XII guy" so I think it's safe to say that your assessment is perhaps a bit biased. I, on the other hand, neither hail from either Big XII or SEC country nor do I care much for either Oklahoma or Florida. Therefore, I think my opinion is a bit more neutral than yours. I don't know what the line will be for the national championship game next month, but if it were up to me I'd make the Gators the favorite. And with good reason, too, 'cause I think they're gonna win that game and become national football champions for the second time in three seasons.

Well, it will be hard to argue that when the rankings come out this week that Oklahoma will be BCS #1 and Florida will be #2. That likely will equate to the Sooners being the favorite as the line opens. It may indeed move toward Florida as the game draws nearer. And, yes, I am obviously a Big 12 guy and I actually hope that your prophesy proves true. There won't be anything more incentivizing for Stoops than to tell his troops no one thinks they can beat Florida.

Also, Oklahoma has a helluva defense. There's just a natural tendency to relax late in games when you are scoring at a 60-plus clip every week. Their real weakness is special teams so if the Gators can exploit that they will have a distinct advantage. Should be a great game....just wish my 'horns could be part of it.

Never thought I'd say this but.....

GO SOONERS!

The secret ingredient? MY BALLS
Tim Tebow is a lot like Vince Young...

That's true. They're both extremely over-rated college quarterbacks who are getting 100% of the credit for what their team is accomplishing. Not to mention, they're both nothing more than a flash in the pan.

i think young was way more overrated than tebow was
when people talk florida tebow is rightfully mentioned....but so is harvin, rainey, demps, and the overall team speed

plus last time i checked....tebow has a heisman and young doesnt...
 
If Tebow stays it's a pretty dumb decision business wise. I'm sure in the off chance he gets permanently hurt playing football in college Florida isn't going to reimburse him the millions upon millions in potential missed income he would have made had he come out for the pros.

I have nothing personal against Tebow, and he is a good college quarterback, (Even if I don't think he will make it in the pros, and I hope the Bears don't draft him.) but he seems to get more hype and unfounded praise put on him than pretty much any collegiate athlete I can remember off the top of my head. Sometimes it's like they're talking about Chuck Norris out there leading the team.

Don't you know chuck norris wears Tim Tebow pajamas?? Same goes for superman. Na, I think Tebow will come back for his senior year, just because he loves the college lifestyle so much. As for our defense we don't have any seniors currently on the roster, so we wouldn't lose too much. I know Brandon Spikes will go pro, but other than him there wont be much. I have more respect for Utah than Boise State. What kind of bowl game do you think the Utes will get?
 
Yeah, they did. But as I've posted before, if you remember that game Boise State pretty much dominated it for three quarters. Then Oklahoma woke up and COMPLETE ERASED their substantial deficit in less than one quarter. Boise State ended up winning that game in overtime, that is true, but by the end of the game it took some trick plays for them to beat the Sooners. Props to Boise State for winning that game, but I'll forever maintain that had the Sooners taken the Boise State Broncos seriously in that game from the beginning instead of waiting until the fourth quarter, I don't think think that Boise State would have stood much of a chance. Same thing with Boise State's win over the Oregon Ducks in Autzen this season. They got a BIG lead and then watched it mostly evaporate once the Oregon Ducks got serious. The Ducks (and this coming from someone who is NOT an Oregon Duck fan) damn near won that game - they only ran out of time at the end after digging themselves too big a hole at the beginning. Boise State is dominant in the freakin' WAC - no matter what anybody posts, I'll NEVER believe that they could be that dominant playing in a REAL football conference and having to play strong opposition EVERY WEEK and I'll remind you that Boise State lost to the Washington Huskies last year, a team that started 2 - 0 and then finished the season 4 - 9 and in LAST PLACE in the Pac-10.

This post and some of your other posts are complete nonsense, Luv. What the hell does Boise State's performance last year mean for this year? NOTHING DUDE. Leave it in the past. I know that, in your mind, Ohio State was good enough last year so that must be the reason why they are in the BCS this year, but that faulty logic ***** THE SANCTITY OF THE BCS.

Boise State would beat you beloved Ohio State THIS YEAR. Not NEXT YEAR and not LAST YEAR. THIS SEASON. YES, THEY WOULD because THIS YEAR'S BUCKEYES SUCK. Plain and simple. The Buckeyes had their chance to make their case and lost their 2 most important games. Ohio State and USC AND Boise State are all being harmed by their conferences overall shittiness collectively. But tOSU had its chances this season to win and they didn't in the big games.

Texas is going to pound them and frankly, as a Buckeyes fan, the last thing I would think you'd want for your team is watching them getting a pounding on national TV in a bowl game BECAUSE THE ENTIRE NATION will be venting frustration at Ohio State for not belonging in the BCS!

Is it Boise State's fault that their "superior" opponents don't take them seriously in your eyes? Seriously? Do you think Boise State gives a **** about that? They play. They win. End of story.

I fail to see how you claim Ohio State would play better in the USC game if only Pryor had more experience. Dude. That's another lame excuse. Maybe USC would've hung 80 on Ohio State if Sanchez had more experience. It was his first season starting too.:dunno:

I am the Boise State dicklicker on this board, so keep that in mind. I do believe Boise State should leave the WAC and head into the Mountain West. Will the MWC want a potential Goliath program in their conference? Maybe, maybe not. But I don't think they can be held accountable for their opponents on their schdule playing great or sucking. You make the schedule and you play the opponent. Nobody has a crystal ball to determine WHICH TEAMS WILL BE AWESOME IN 4 Years and which teams will suck..these schedules are determined years in advance you know. Fresno State tries to play any bigname opponent for ALL THEIR OOC. They win some. They lose some. But this strategy means they've never won a Conf CHampionship since Boise State became a power. Maybe this is not the best strategy in the BCS universe.

Boise State has had 4 undefeated seasons in 7 years? They're not as bad as you seem to think. Oregon was ranked #19 when the beat them. Maybe Boise State will try to get some OOC games with some national powers but will the national powers want to to play them now...:dunno:
 
Okay, so by that line of reasoning, ALL coaches are at least partial failures as far as you're concerned because I've seen games from teams coached by guys like Jim Tressel, Pete Carroll, Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno, Mack Brown, Bob Stoops, and MANY OTHERS, where their team simply wasn't ready to play. Those are some of the head football coaches that are thought of as being the BEST in college football right now, and you're prepared to say that because they don't get their teams ready to play EACH and EVERY time their team is scheduled to that they're not really very good coaches? Is that what you're trying to say? 'Cause if you are then I'd say that you're coming off looking like a colossal fool, considering the overall amount of success all of those coaches have had over their storied careers. But, suit yourself.

Luv...actually, you're wrong on this one. Penn State fans, Florida State fans have wanted their legends to "leave the game" because they felt the game ****** them by. Florida State was untouchable in the 90s and started to lose their grip in the 2000s. They have not been in the National Championship discussion for years and don't look like they will be anytime soon. Same with Penn State, although this year and last year, JoePa has "saved" his legacy. He could retire win or lose after this Rose Bowl and he'd leave the Nittany Lions "on top," Big11 CHamps...Rose Bowl..etc.

As a Trojan, I get CRANKY at Pete Carroll for seemingly NOT HAVING THE TROJANS ready to play stanford, oregon state, ucla, etc. How many NCs and Perfect Seasons would SC HAVE NOW if the team didn't lose to shitards in the past? I have no problem with how Pete gets SC ready for "Big Games":thefinger BUT....especially now with Sark leaving there is no connection to Norm Chow in Trojanland and the last time I felt HAPPY with SC's Offense was when Norm Chow was calling the plays. The Lane Kiffin/Sark combo post-Chow sucked. Steve Sarkisian alone has been a mixed bag...given all the 5-star talent on the roster. I don't know who Pete Carroll has in mind to replace Sark but I hope he won't give the keys to the PORSCHE PROGRAM to a frat buddy greasemonkey either. I want someone to call plays who's actually DONE SOMETHING in COllege for SC....maybe Dirk Koetter? Maybe someone I can't think of right now....

Utah is goin to the Sugar Bowl to get romped by Alabama
and Floridas goin to the title game baby!!
 
Hell yea!! GO GATORS!! I think Utah is for real though. I think they deserve their shot in a big time game. I guess we'll see. Just glad we mad it to the title game.
