Swamp them Seminoles!

Well, it looked like a swamp up in Tallahassee, but it didn't bother Tim Terrific. A quote from the Florida Times Union (Jacksonville):
"Tebow pretty much did everything but walk on water. Actually, considering the field conditions, he did that, too."
Urban was worried about all the water on the field--he just wanted Tebow to run the ball the whole game--single wing. He could have, of course, but then all the other stars would have been upset.

Maybe Rainey and Demps won't be quite so cocky after each got run down from behind for the first time this year. Had to have been the wet field. Rainey said "I had water in my shoes, Coach." Truly the Rain-man that night. This must be one of his earlier runs....
BTW, Chris got 97 yards on 8 carries--a respectable average just over 12 yards per. Not to be outdone at the school that foolishly rejected him (can you imagine?) Demps got 7 carries and churned out 89 yards for an average of 12.71! In fact, all the Gators who carried the ball had a better average than the best Semi-hole rusher (12 for 57). That's gotta hurt...and it did.

Of course the defense was stellar, as usual. Interceptions, crushing tackles, forced fumbles, you name it.



"Here... let me help you with that."
Why, thank you, Jermaine.








Sorry, that one is ours, says Jenoris.












"And so, Mr. Weatherford, as I was just saying to Mr. Moreno the other day...."

Brandon Spikes...the Man.




And props to Chas Henry, the forgotten man for the Gators. He had his longest punt of the year at 67 yards. He's the football equivalent of the Maytag repairman. (Sorry, Chas, no pics this week.)

Highlights of the game. Sorry if there aren't any FSU highlights...I don't remember any. Oh, wait, they did score a touchdown on our first team defense. Damn.



How about that Tim, eh? A few shots of him should be enlightening...
This one had Jamie Robinson wondering WTF was he thinking




"But, Coach, I thought you said it was OK to knock their cornerback into next week."

What do you get when you combine this with loud cheering from the Seminole fans?

In case anyone missed it, SuperTim is racking up the awards again.
Tim Tebow Named Academic All-American of the Year by ESPN The Magazine
Tim Tebow Named Disney Spirit Award Winner
Or at least he's in contention for them:
Tebow a finalist for Maxwell Award
Tebow a finalist for Walter Camp Award
And we hope there's one more:
Tebow a shoo-in as a finalist for the Heisman.

We're back to the Heisman again.... I sure would like to see some clips of the other pure passing quarterbacks whose names are mentioned and whose teams create for them the outrageous stats that go with their offenses making blocks downfield and tackling defensive ends like Tim does. Bobby Bowden was gracious in defeat--what else could he be?--and referred to Tim as adding a Bronko Nagurski element to the game. So true. And so fun to watch. The award should go to the year's best football player and that is clearly Tim Tebow.

Bring on Alabama! A tough game, but I'm hopeful. We have the horses, if we can just bring it all to bear one more time...
Do I hear Boomer Sooner??

Twins: The girls were on The Unit last night (Sunday) but I missed it. Set the stupid DVR to record that time slot but didn't notice the football game had pushed all the shows up 30 minutes! The recording stopped just as Maitlyn came on screen (in the closet scene). Rats! Will have to count on Mom and Dad to have a copy of it. Don't you scare my babies like that!
