  1. He said exactly what I was thinking. "And if the NCAA is going to drag out the hoops tournament even more, causing players to miss more class, how can it continue to justify not having a college football playoff"

  4. Tim Tebow wouldn't win a Theismann trophy
    By The Times-Union and AP
    Story updated at 3:12 AM on Friday, Feb. 5, 2010

    Former Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann, now a broadcaster with the NFL Network, caused a stir on radio row in Miami on Thursday in an interview with Jacksonville radio station WJXL (1010 AM).

    Theismann said former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow shouldn't even try being an NFL quarterback, and that he should have retired after his college career ended, with “rock-star status preserved,” Theismann said.

    “Obviously at Florida they don't teach throwing the football,” Theismann said to host Mike Dempsey, pointing blame at UF coach Urban Meyer and his staff.

    Tebow spent Thursday in Washington, delivering the closing prayer at the National Prayer Breakfast, which was attended by President Barack Obama.

  5. According to the Wilmington News Journal, Bear, Del., seventh-grade quarterback David Sills committed Thursday night to accept a football scholarship from USC.

    The 13-year-old, who attends Red Lion Christian Academy, told delawareonline.com "my heart was beating so fast" when he talked to Kiffin.

    Red Lion high school varsity coach Eric Day confirmed that Kiffin recently offered the teen a scholarship, and that Sills committed, according to the Wilmington paper.


    kiffins a joke he probably wont even be around in 2015 when the kid enters college

  6. Wow, that Tebow ad is gonna cause a major stir. How could they possibly air something so extreme and graphic?

    ReplyDelete
  7. "Tebow will be in a SuperBowl commercial for a Christian Organization. It is rumored that it will probably be an anti-abortion message given his own birth story.

    This could be just the beginning of some people turning their backs on him."

  8. They portrayed it to be an ad of immense brain washing. Well the marketing obviously worked.

    ReplyDelete
  9. I wasn't even sure that was the real commercial after watching it. Didn't seem very controversial to me.

  10. James, he is not a reserve. He got screwed. Horford made it as a reserve, which means made the team but not a starter. Lee can only make the team if someone gets injured or something like that and the commish chooses him. Lee is not an alternate or anything. There is no such thing.

    Where'd you get your information?

  11. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/knicks/2010/02/12/2010-02-12_lee_a_star_as_knicks_eye_mcgrady.html

    Lee was selected to his first All-Star team yesterday by NBA commissioner David Stern. Lee replaces Allen Iverson, who is skipping the game due to an illness in his family.

    ___

    Horford was an initial reserve and Lee made the roster due Iverson dropping out. I don't understand your point James?

  12. I hear the NIT calling the Gator men's hoops team. The ringing is increasing in volume as each day passes.

  13. Your first post about the 2009-2010 Gator basketball team is not allowed to be about the NIT. If you posted something positively previously and I missed it then I apologize.

  14. Chandler Parsons South Carolina game on blog and at length on a phone call. Apology accepted punk!

    ReplyDelete
  15. :), ok... Your first post about the 2009-2010 Gator basketball team (not about a buzzer beater win) is not allowed to be about the NIT. If you posted something positively previously and I missed it then I apologize.

  16. "I would have to say that I agree with the protest, not because I am pro-choice, but because I don't need a political message in my face while I am drinking beer."

  17. Sorry guy... just saw that one and had to post it.

  20. We lost today and we were history. Slim thread stays alive.

  21. Great game today getting it inside to Macklin. I don't know why we don't do that more except I suspect that maybe Ole Miss is just smaller up front.

    We controlled the whole game but were still down by 2 with 1 minute remaining and kept our composure. Kudos to Walker for all the free throws in that last minute.

    Still hangin on.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ole Miss was a bubble forecast team as were we. Currently most analysts say we lead the First Out group.

    Still room for success.

  23. Did anyone watch the USA vs Canada hockey game the game was awesome back and forth the whole time.

  24. Chris, I watched some and followed the end on my phone. Sweet stuff.

  25. In an effort to quiet his critics and refine his game, former Gators quarterback Tim Tebow is changing the way he holds a football, shifting it from his waist to his shoulder.


    He is concentrating on taking three- and five-step drops instead of working out of the shotgun formation he did at Florida

    ReplyDelete
  26. Florida: The Gators are desperately trying to end a two-year run in the NIT with an NCAA bid. The win at Ole Miss was huge in that process. But the schedule is daunting with games against Tennessee, at Georgia, Vanderbilt and at Kentucky.

  27. If they can win 2 of their last 4 and then 2 in the tournament I think they will be in.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I agree Chris, however I will say that it matters who we play in the tourney. If we beat two scrubs, that might not be enough.

    If we are a worthy I say we need to win 3 of our final four. We CANNOT lose to UGA and must win two of our three games vs. UT, Vandy and Kentucky.

  29. In an effort to quiet his critics and refine his game, former Gators sleeper Jeffrey Peacock is changing the way he holds a pillow, shifting it from his face to behind his large neck.


    He is concentrating on taking three- and five-quick breaths instead of breathing out of the 32-wide formation he did at Florida

  30. Thanks for the laugh Jamie.

  31. You made no mention of my accolades whilst on the UF sleep team.

    Please elaborate James.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Your collegiate accolades whilst commendable do not guarantee professional success.

  33. College = Not Pro. I did all my stuff unpaid and as a walk on and I get no props?!?

  34. Watched the bball game last night almost until the end of the first half before turning in for the night. Our perimiter defense was making me vomit on myself. The amount of uncontested threes was unbelievable.

    Glad to see they turned it around in the second half. I was surprised to see it tied at the half.

    I was impressed with our outside in game. Not much if any inside out in the first half.

    Anyway, big win and I thought they played really well offensively.

    I really believe we just don't flop against UGA and we can just go balls out and whatever happens happens vs. Vandy and UK and we win like one game in the tourney and we are in. Huge win. I think we lost that game last night and our NIT ticket was sealed.

    ReplyDelete
  35. If we play like that again against vandy I think we beat them.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I hope you are right. Either way, it was fun to watch them last night.

  37. took next saturday off to go to this tebow autograph signing at the mall find out today you have to buy tickets to it for $160

  38. $160! Where are the proceeds going?

    ReplyDelete
  39. it said part of it is going to his foundation but still charge $20 or something most people and kids could afford

  40. That sucks that would have been something cool to go to. I wanted to get down to where he has been training at the last month or so cause its only about an hour a way but never got a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  41. So hope Kentucky flops in the tourney. Their coach was quoted as saying that the SEC title meant NOTHING. Seeding was all that mattered. I crap on you Calipari.

  43. #1 2 lost today and i call a syracuse loss tonight and #3 purdue is screwed with their best guy injured and the gators cant beat ga.

  44. Every time I think the BB team has turned the corner and will stop losing these games they should win they end up losing it somehow. Man they frustrate me.

    ReplyDelete
  45. A lot of people were picking this upset. Not that it makes it any easier. Georgia beat GT, TENN, VANDY, SCAR, and the Gators at home this year. They barely lost to VANDY on the road in OT last week.

    ReplyDelete
  46. South Carolina and UGA are the worst two teams in the SEC East and we lost to UGA twice and to SCAR once, beating them the other time on an insane buzzer beater. Poop icing on the resume.
