Florida 41, Georgia 17. Is ev'rybody sassafied now? Huh? I don't want to hear any more moaning. None!
What can you say about this guy, Tim Tebow, that hasn't already been said. People are already contemplating Tebow for President campaigns! Seriously (I think). ;-)
Well, I forgot to have my plate of cornbread and collard greens and only thought about it just this Monday morning. That's the Power of Tebow, a derivative of the Power of Urban! They have completely obliterated the need for some type of lucky routine. I was extremely confident on Saturday afternoon because I knew how much the "Big Kid from Big Duval" (yes, I do love that title) wanted to win this particular game.
And win it, he did.
To take it right down the field and ram it down Georgia's two-weeks-in-preparation throat -- super sweet! To (semi-officially) break Herschel's record in this game with an important touchdown that provided the winning score -- heavenly!
I had a special time in Jacksonville even though I didn't arrive in town until Saturday morning and I didn't make it into the stadium. I watched the entire thing out on the lawn outside the stadium. They had set up a big jumbotron with metal stands flanking the lawn. And it was packed. In the kind of heat and humidity that reminded you of the middle of August. It was incredible how hot it was! The setting, however, was great; it gave you the feel of Florida-Georgia because Dawg fans and Gator fans were mixed in close proximity (and, yes: there was some spectacular talent on display!).
I'm not going to say much more about the game or the event. Everything seemed scripted by the Gators. Georgia is in trouble and Mark Richt is in trouble. Since he pulled that crazy stunt at Florida-Georgia 2007, the Dawgs have gone down the tube. That, too, is expecially satisfying. And now Lane Kiffin appears to be getting the Vols together rather quickly. This could mean years and years in the wilderness for the Dawgs. To my shock, they still don't seem to be properly ashamed of that outrageous stunt they pulled. When the CBS feed on the jumbotron showed the dancing in the endzone, they -- incredibly -- cheered.
Georgia will never recover until that foolishness stops.
Finally, thank goodness Tim and so many of his fellow seniors or last-year on the team players won their final Florida-Georgia game and sent the Doggies back home to the Penal Colony in style.
Bring on Vanderbilt!
