Monday Fallout: now made with real Monday

This is the kind of weekend it was for the Gators.



Yeah, thats former Gator Kerwin Bell. This weekend was like a spike to the nuts, then someone shoved us, then we were flagged for taunting. If you're following the analogy, Gator fans got a big head last week, then while celebrating, caused damage to our groin and were knocked on our ass by Ole Miss. The AP/USA today polls penalized us by dropping us a spot behind OU. However, in the end, we have still just scored a TD and will laugh about this later.


- Gators squeak one out. the Team's collective rep took a hit for venturing into Mississippi (you know, if Florida is the wang of the US, then Mississippi is the inflamed prostate) The Rebel's Defense has to be proud. Their cover two/three/four defense didn't allow but one long play from scrimmage. They made the Gators nickel and dime em for every yard. Meanwhile, this walkon guy looks like a stud in the second half, completing passes all over our depleted and young and unproven and stupid secondary (those guys are a real mess, it goes way deeper than Kyle Jackson, although killing him probably would be enough atonement to the coverage gods, that they might allow us to play decent the rest of the season.)However, One man was greater than all the rest. Tebow's superhuman powers have only strengthened.

Tebow is a Tsunami - Just an unstoppable force that no hyperbole can contain. One of the most impressive QB performances ever. Not flashy or technically perfect, but Tebow is a QB with a combination of skills no QB has ever had before. We ran him 27 times for 160 yards.... yeah read that again. I know, even more ridiculous the second time. And for those of you worried he'd be tired by the end of a game where he was involved in 61 offensive plays, you're wrong. He finished the game with 6 runs in a row, 2 of which produced 1st downs, to run out the clock, at the end of which he jumped up and down and pumped his fists like a mad man. Too bad we only get to root for him for about 36 more games.

-Kentucky is legit. This is the biggest story line from the weekend that does not involve Tim Tebow (just so you know, thats how every hyperbole will end for the rest of the year - for example: "West Virginia has the best backield in the country- that does not involve Tim Tebow", OR "Transformers was the best movie of the summer - that did not involve Tim Tebow" OR "the Beatles are the greatest band ever- that did not involve Tim Tebow) . The game against the Gators in late October at night in the cold suddenly looks like a nightmare waiting to happen. But I'll reserve judgment till Oct. 4 - a Thursday night showdown at South Carolina, we'll finally learn how they do against a complete team with a sane man for a coach. Cause at this point I'm still not sure. I'm sure they're good, just not sure I should be afraid "good".

-Houston Nutt continues theme - His career at Arkansas has been a rollercoaster of good and bad. This is just another down year for the Hogs. Too bad its gonna cost someone a Heisman.

-Miami looks impressive in Win? Brain does not compute.. Error... Error.. Oh wait, the opposing coach was Dennis Franchione.

Deep Breath - Georgia wins in OT, LSU is who we thought they were, Penn St. continues to disappoint, Louisville much worse than we thought, Nebraska has squeaker with Ball St., GT is no good, South FL rolls cant wait till Friday, Bama fans fall back to earth, Michigan the Big Ten favorite, whew, glad thats out of the way.

I, like Florida football team, am happy to just put this weekend behind me.

Make that one game and maybe 2 quarters (if he's lucky)

If there's a D that can hurt Tebow, its definitely LSU, but good luck getting through his throng of guardian angels. Did I mention he can bench 400lbs? that enough to toss any fat guy named Glenn that the Tigers can find.
