And with the way Florida's offense has been sputtering lately they needed this game. Now we are ready for FSU, Bama and then whoever wherever. This saturday will be Tebow's last game in the Swamp. There wont be a dry eye in the house when hes introduced with the seniors before the game. I will be there. They are asking everyone to wear eye black with a bible scripture on it as a tribute to him. I will be wearing it.
Should be interesting to see what happens with your boy Tebow come draft day. In my opinion, he'll be lucky to carve out the NFL career that the guy whose SEC record he just broke has had as a third down back. For what it's worth, Herschel Walker's SEC record for toucdowns is FAR more impressive than Tebow's or Kevin Faulk. Faulk got the record Tebow broke in 12 fewer games (Obviously that's more than an entire season) and Walker set the record in about 10 fewer games than Faulk did.
On another note, I completely understand that not just all SEC teams do what you're referring to by scheduling these RIDICULOUS opponents. All college teams do it, and I find it offensive. They might has well play the local high school team, because that's essentially what they're doing. I know you're a college football diehard, but as a fan, you should want the sport you're passionate about to at least have some itegrity. Given the schedules and the ranking system, that game is in DIRE need of a shred of integrity.
