Pitt’s up 21-10 after a flea flicker TD. One team is dealing well with the snow and one is not. This one is officially upset bait of the first order.

Maybe it's because I've watched Charlie Strong coached defenses for years,
but these defenses are comically bad. I wouldn’t hire Kelley is I were ND. I realize offense is his thing, but they’ve been horrendous today on D, and frankly all year. The fact that Swarbick (sp?) said in the press conference that they were going to hire a coach with an established defensive pedigree, after the Weis experiment, would suggest Kelley isn’t the man. The hilarity once Stoops, Meyer etc say “no” will be overwhelming.
I still think Strong is actually the best candidate for Notre Dame
They’re probably hesitant about coordinators right now, but it would give them good PR and a coach to fix their biggest problem.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I love Charlie
but frankly, he isn’t ready for the spotlight to end all spotlights of Notre Dame. It’s rumored he doesn’t interview well. He’s very well-spoken, but can seem a little hot under the lights. One day, I think he’ll be ready for ND/UF/Bama type exposure, but he needs a stepping stone. Louisville, other than it’s limited recruiting base, would be a great choice.

It was supposed to snow Friday night in Atlanta
If it did, it was after I left. But I had fun thinking about the game being outside instead of in the Georgia Dome and Alabama and Florida trying to play in the snow.

Florida teams, college or otherwise

We're going to have to rely on our offense to win this game.
I wish I still enjoyed football. It’s just stress and anxiety now.

Great job. Let’s pretend like the entire field between the numbers doesn’t exist.

Florida 12, Alabama 3 -- 6:03 2Q
And Brandon Spikes leaves the field with a potential injury

Alabama is just straight up dominating this game.
can a shot of Tebow yelling at teammates be far behind?
All David Nelson does is catch touchdowns in Championship games.
Tebow starts to save our *. At least we didn’t wait til halftime this one.
I know I'm biased...
…so I’d love to hear from the “outsiders” on here. But to this Bama fan the officiating looks so incredibly biased it couldn’t be worse if Urban was doing it himself. Florida is holding every play on both offense and defense and it’s only been called once.
Am I just looking through crimson glasses or does anyone else see it?
That’s why I’m with Tebow.

If you were UF's OC...
would you, like me, have a play called “Improv” where you have sandlot routes, one guy in the backfield, and just tell Tebow to do whatever the heck he wants? Compared to our designed plays, I bet it would work 50% more often.
If the alternative were Steve Addazio's calls, I think this is a brilliant idea
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
There were two holds and a block in the back on that pass.
Oh, and Watchman, considering the fact that Bama has had 0 or 1 penalty called on them, I’d say that NO, the officiating is not biased in UF’s favor.
I'm sorry, I just have to ask you.
Florida has been penalized a lot. Bama has not. In your mind, that’s bias for Bama? So Florida has committed a penalty every play, while Bama has been spotless?
Crimson glasses doesn’t begin to describe that idea.

I think this is pretty much what we should have expected
Though I still wish Mike Slive had gone with my idea for an “all-star” crew with Penn Wagers and Marc Curles, he appears to have found the next best thing.
That said, I’m glad they’re letting them play. The last thing I want is a parade of flags in the SEC Championship Game.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I'm fine with letting them play
but letting them play is a decision to interpret the game away from reality. Reality is that there should be a lot of flags. If you decide to purposefully ignore certain things, it better be even. Ignoring things only when one team does it is not OK.
by Giant Catfish on Dec 5, 2009 5:44 PM EST up reply actions
What I’m seeing is that Florida isn’t being called for a huge numnber of penalties they’re committing and that those have been at crucial moments on big plays, like the long Tebow run. But I started by saying I was biased. I’m curious as to the view of the “neutral” observers. I’m sure your glasses are as orange as mine are red.
You would think it not so hard to figure out if Mt. Cody is in the game

Alabama 19, Florida 10 -- 3:32 2Q

I was pretty close on my score prediction — Alabama 17-13. I meant the first half.

The first drive of the second half is crucial.
UF must have a long drive, really needs to score, and needs a TD (see what I did there? Descending order of importance).
TD gives them the lead, and shifts some of the excruciating pressure to Bama. A score takes it to a field goal lead, and a long drive flips field possession.
Two Tough Teams
We are seeing a game between the two best teams in the country. Neither backs down. Neither gives up. Each answers the other. The question is probably not who gets the ball to start the half but who has it last. This could well come down to the final possession.
I’m okay with where Florida is at. Not with how they played, but with the score. As bad as Bama outplayed UF, Gators are down just 6.
I doubt Florida will continue to play this badly, and one score isn’t that bad to come back from.

UNBELIEVABLE.
Addazio is the worst. His hiring has to be the worst decision Urban has made at UF. He’s just worthless.
Bama Secondary Winning the War
Tebow has had all day to throw a half dozen times but only rarely had anyone open downfield
Julio stopped running and stuck his hand out into Jenkins.
That’s offensive, newb. Jenkins has as much of a right to the ball as Julio.

Charlie did not have the right call on.
If it was the right call, why was the coverage a SAFETY with a 10 yard cushion. We didn’t blitz a corner. Our coordinators are killing us. Kiffin was right.
just got to work
left early just so I can leave during the half…Bama looks really good. mistake free, perfect play calling. I guess they were sore about last year
"Why does bottled water have an expiration date?"
This game is reminding me
of our game against Jamal Lewis years ago when he ran all over us
"Why does bottled water have an expiration date?"
I just saw Greg McElroy run for nine yards against the Florida defense -- right?
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I mean, I watched both of these teams beat LSU
And I thought Florida was the better squad. Not by much, but better.
And that sums it up.
UF needs a replay overturn to keep the drive alive, then Tebow throws a pick to end the threat.
Urban has gone from an innovative, aggressive coach
to a glorified Jim Tressel. Remember the fake punt against Arkansas in ‘06? What the heck happened to that guy? The UF coach now wouldn’t call a reverse, let alone a fake anything.
He allows his assistants to run rampant over HIS program, allows established players to coast without an ounce of effort, and refuses to even pretend to be aggressive.
Addazio killed us this year, but he never should have been allowed to. Meyer never should have put us in a position to blow this much talent. He never should have let his DC go job hunting before the biggest….no, the ONLY game of the year.
UF doesn’t get another dime from my family (believe me, it’s sizable normally) until Addazio is gone, and Meyer takes control again. Make me believe Mullen wasn’t covering for 5 years.
Dude, I know this probably isn't much consolation right now, but you're still going to be 12-1 and playing in the Sugar Bowl. Urban must be doing something right...
But you can’t win it all and beat your opponents by 40 every year. Sometimes, there’s just one team that’s better. That’s Alabama. The Gators and Meyer still had a great year.
Garnet and Black Attack: A Blog by and for Gamecocks Fans.
This year is an abject failure.
I said at the beginning of the season that anything other than an undefeated NC is inexcusable. I don’t always demand that. Next year I’d be happy with 9 wins, assuming many juniors go pro. Not this year, though. This is the most talented UF team to ever take the field, and they blow it in the only game Tebow/Spikes etc came back for.
Failure. Absolute failure. Screw the Sugar Bowl, and screw Cincy. I know most (any?) people won’t remember, but around the Arkansas game, I made it clear I hated this team. I hate their attitude, I hate their entitlement, I hate their laziness, I hate their gameplan. I LOVED the 2006 team, I LOVED 2008. This team plays like a bunch of entitled pansys, and frankly I won’t miss most of them. Enjoy the NFL, it’s all you’ve cared about all year.
by Giant Catfish on Dec 5, 2009 7:20 PM EST up reply actions
I remember...
and it was as absurd then as it is now. Sorry, but Florida’s talent level isn’t so great this year that they can just show up and win 12 straight games while being lazy and entitled. This is a good team. They went 12-0 and now happen to lose to what appears to be a better team. Don’t disparage the rest of your opponents by saying they were so bad that a lazy, uncaring, unfocused Florida mopped the floor with them.

its suprising our defense has got blown up
but I am not suprised were getting spanked, we have so many mistakes, dropped passes, penalties, missed coverages, Nick Saban and his OC has just out coahced the Gators.

If I said months ago that this team was horrendously overrated
and I turned out to be right, how does that make me irrational? I’d say it makes me significantly more rational than you, or most Gators.
Also, blaming the refs is a sore loser. Saying we got outcoached, out focused, out "effort"ed, does not make me a sore loser.

I am not going to make excuses
Bama outplayed Fl in every aspect, they were ready and played mistake free ball. FL on the other hand picked the wrong time to have a epic melt down on defense.
