[opiethetileman]

yeah should be here brian its swamp and dawg ground. yikers want no where down town while this goes on

[johntrent]

Like the Gators just because they are kinda my home team now....been a Tarheel fan all my life...don't really have a hardcore college preference though - I have a couple of daughters that want to go to Florida - if that happens I guess I'll have a reason to be hardcore.

[Brad Denny]

We are sports opposites. :D

[ceramictec]

lots a good College teams.
I like them because they play with their heart, not the money...yet. ;)

and the plays they do....WOW!

[ceramictec]

Jacksonville, FL-- Tim Tebow's 50th career rushing touchdown set an SEC record, Tebow broke through the line of scrimmage and ran 23 yards for the TD that broke Herschel Walker's SEC record.

Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, had eight rushing TDs as a freshman in 2006, 23 in his Heisman-winning season and found the end zone 12 more times last year. He now has seven this season.

Tebow also finished the first half with 63 yards rushing, breaking the SEC mark for career rushing yards by a quarterback. Former Arkansas star Matt Jones, who played receiver for the Jacksonville Jaguars, previously held the record with 2,535 yards.

[ceramictec]

Gators playing at Vanderbuilt
and
Florida State Seminoles playing @ Clemson Tigers.

get ready for 2 Florida College game beat downs ! :yipee:

[Dan Kramer]

Go Clemson!

[ceramictec]

my Aunt & Uncle in Statesville NC is cheering for Clemson.
one of his football played from HS went on to play for Clemson years ago, so they like them
I like Bowden so I cheer for Seminole.
but if the Seminoles play the Gators.....well......Go Gators !:tup2:

[tilerite]

My favorite team is Penn State and I don't want to talk about it.:tongue:

[ceramictec]

yeah, they had a good game....about as good as UCF did today against Texas (http://espn.go.com/ncf/boxscore?gameId=293110251) :D

[tilerite]

I said; I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!:smash:

[ceramictec]

HA Ok, lets talk about how Clemson came back to whoop on FSU 40-24

[tilerite]

FSU. How the mighty have fallen.

[ceramictec]

FSU. How the mighty have fallen.kinda of, they arent playing like they used to. But I still like Bobby Bowden.

when I moved down to Florida the big thing was pick one.

so I picked the Gator's back then.:tup2:


UF - Gator's (http://www.gatorzone.com/football/)
FSU - Seminole's (http://www.seminoles.com/sports/m-footbl/fsu-m-footbl-body.html)
USF - Bull's (http://www.gousfbulls.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&SPID=2981&SPSID=37319)
UCF - Golden Knight's (http://ucfathletics.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/ucf-m-footbl-body.html)
FAU - Owl's (http://fausports.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/fau-m-footbl-body.html)
UM - Hurricane's (http://www.miami-hurricanes.com/)
FAMU - Rattler's (http://www.famurattlersports.com/sportCF-M-Football.cfm)
FIU - Panther's (http://www.fiusports.com/SportSelect.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=11700&KEY=&SPID=4780&SPSID=49159)
JU - Dolphin's (http://www.judolphins.com/football/)

:yipee::tup2:I cant wait until the Bowl Games !!!:tup2::yipee:

[ajax]

Iowa Hawkeys ,doing good to this year!

[ceramictec]

I did watch them a week or so ago and they lost with a substitute QB.
he wasn't the best and I think that's their only loss.
I need to watch them again with their real QB.

[ceramictec]

Gator's Kicks butt again !

http://www.gatorzone.com/story.php?id=17001


Gators wallop FIU - 62-3 GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Top-ranked Florida moved
another step closer to perfection with a 62-3 rout of Florida
International. Florida improved to 11-0 for just the second time in
school history and needs two more wins -- against Florida State and
Alabama -- to earn a shot at repeating as national champion.

[Dan Kramer]

Bumming.
Cancelled overpriced cable.
Which means no stations where I live.
No football.
Bumming.

[ceramictec]

the TV would go for me before the internet.
but you can sort of follow the games live online here.

[ceramictec]

Tebow in his last home game in the Swamp and he played unbelievable!
he is going to be a good Pro QB one day!

http://www.gatorzone.com/story.php?id=17048No. 1 Florida Defeats FSU, 37-10, on Senior Day
A Ben Hill Griffin Stadium-record 90,907 fans were present as the No. 1 Gators bid farewell to 22 seniors with a 37-10 defeat over Sunshine State rival Florida State Saturday at Florida Field. The 12th win of the season against FSU marked the first time in UF history the Gators have posted a 12-0 regular season record.

[stullis]

Too many bowl games nowadays for teams that don't deserve bowl games. :turkey:

[Brad Denny]

Brian,
Though I root for Tennessee, I really like and respect Tebow, BUT I just don't see him as a NFL QB. Tight end likely.
He did and excellent job today and I feel confident you guys are gonna take home the SEC trophy v. Alabama next week. :)

[ceramictec]

Too many bowl games nowadays for teams that don't deserve bowl games.yes there is. it's all about the sponsorship and the money they get for going and winning.
I remember when i was young on about a dozen, now I think there's about 30-40. just just made for small teams you never hear about.


I really like and respect Tebow, BUT I just don't see him as a NFL QB. Tight end likely.somebody will pic him up as a QB. if he goes in the first draft it will probably be a team that isn't too good and wouldn't mind him as a new QB....if he plays
He did and excellent job today and I feel confident you guys are gonna take home the SEC trophy v. Alabama next week.Alabama game will be tough. they are a good team. I would like to see them win that and then whatever bowl game they go to. I'm going to one of the bowl games down here, just don't now who's playing yet.

[SevrinJ]

Well Brian as you know this house is a Gator house. My wife was born a Gator fan and I kinda got sucked in as well. Tebow's last game in the swamp was great and a bit emotional for everyone that was there. To be honest with his religious devotion I wondered if he'll go straight into football.

Oh and by the way bring on the SEC Championship next week ......:wohoo:

[bamadave]

Don't put any money down against Alabama or Florida this weekend. I'll be there working but plan on seeing some of the game from the sidelines.
I've got mixed emotions. Even though I'm a Bama fan and want to see them in Pasadena, I wouldn't mind seeing Tebow go out with a perfect season. Either way, it's going to be a 'ell of a game.

[ceramictec]

yeah, I'm not going to have high hopes this will be an easy game for the gators. Alabama is a good team.
plus the Gators might lose a star "Carlos Dunlop" got a DUI on Monday night.

Urban Meyer called Carlos Dunlap’s DUI arrest a “rather serious” distraction.

[Deckert]

Looking forward to Oregon-Oregon State to see who goes to the Rose Bowl.

I'm from Oregon, but moved out of the country to California. Makes me enjoy watching USC get beat up just a little bit.

[ceramictec]

funny play from the Gators/Seminoles game

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AqnsjEPLIA&feature=player_embedded

[ceramictec]

Looking forward to Oregon-Oregon State to see who goes to the Rose Bowl.
the Rose bowl will be another good game.

do you like Oregon State's uniforms ? :wtf:

[dbol]

My favorite team is Penn State and I don't want to talk about it.=tilerite
Rick, if we aren't the opposites in sports teams.
GO PITT!!

[ceramictec]

wow this is a good Oregon game.
have some good players and the crowd at this stadium is LOUD!

cold too. mid 30's now possibly going into the high 20's they said at end of game. definetly not a Gators game!!

[ceramictec]

Oregon ....nice game! :)

[ceramictec]

the Cincy vs Pitt game was insane!!

now I'm getting ready for the Gator vs Alabama game !!
should be a good game whoever wins!


Go Gators!!!!
http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:9q7Ff3dcg_fGeM:http://www.sports-art.com/images/Florida_GoGators.jpg

[dbol]

Pitt, blew it big time!!!

[ceramictec]

the missed FG was the kicker.

Alabama missed a FG, so hopefully the Gators can beat them by 1 point and win.
I hope

[ceramictec]

damn Alabama is kicking the Gators butt.
Ingram can run, he will probably get the Heisman this year. he's good!

getting ready for the Georgia Tech vs Clemson game :wohoo:

[John K]

Roll Tide!!!!

[ceramictec]

an UConn beat USF with 3 sec on the clock with a FG.

29-27

[ceramictec]

[e3]

DIV.2 Grand Valley State (GVSU) going to the finals!!!!http://www.gvsulakers.com/sports/m-footbl/grva-m-footbl-body.html
Its where Brian Kelly came from before Central Mi.and Cincy.Before he heads off to ND.

[ceramictec]

not familiar with that name Eric. dont see them in any final bowl games :scratch:

[e3]

they are DIV. II , one of the most winning Div.II programs there is...

[az_rancher]

The No. 22 Wildcats will face No. 20 Nebraska in a rematch of the classic 1998 Holiday Bowl

[e3]

looks like Brian Kelly is leaving Cincy and heading to South Bend to take over at N.D...
He wiil turn that program around..

[ceramictec]

http://www.phillylovesarmynavy.com/AMERICAS-GAME-PHILADELPHIAS-HONOR

[ceramictec]

The Army/Navy game was ok. Not a high action or big scoring game.



the Heisman trophy award is on now live from NY.
as much as I would like to see Tebow get it I think Ingram
is going to get it.

[johntrent]

Looks like he got it - Ingram named Heisman Trophy winner for 2009 - Tebow was 5th...

[ceramictec]

Ingram got it!
All great players.

[ceramictec]

Bowl games are starting today.
New Mexico Bowl on now and St Pete Bowl starting at 8

[ceramictec]

New Orleans Bowl is on.........Go Old Miss !!!:wohoo:

[ceramictec]

The last few days bowl games have been great, now Clemson is playing Kentucky in the Gaylord Palms Bowl in Tenn.

Go Clemson!

[Bugman]

Clemson showed up to play this year, unlike three years ago. They made me proud! Dabo Swinney is a great young coach who really cares about the players and has added some true class to Clemson football. C. J. Spiller has been an inspiration to Clemson football. Good luck in the NFL, C. J.!

Go Tigers!

[ceramictec]

Yeah CJ was on fire and should be fun to watch as a new guy in the NFL.

[opiethetileman]

hey bri baby i found the thread for college ball..........your such a sweetie pie

[ceramictec]

Good job Opster

[MudMaker]

Anybody watchin the UCLA Temple Game? It's OK

[ceramictec]

Nahhh gonna have to miss tht one I think.
The Champs bowl with Miami & Wisconsin is on at 8 from Orlando.

[ceramictec]

Go FSU, Go Penn State & Go Gators later tonight !!

[The Kid]

Grand daddy of em' all in a bit here.

GO DUCKS!!!!!!!

[ceramictec]

That will be a GOOD game !!:tup2:

I was cheering for the Ducks when they played Oregon State 3 weeks ago at home.
that was also a good game !

[The Kid]

Brian, being a beaver fan, you are now on my black list:tongue:

but none the less, GO OREGON.

[John Bridge]

Anybody watch Penn State and LSU? That was a tight one at the end. :)

I'll pull for the ducks just because I'm originally a West Coast guy. That "back east" team (Ohio State) ain't got a chance. ;)

[tilerite]

You know I was glued to the game, John. Got a little touch and go there for a while but in the end, Joe Pa and his boys prevail.:tup2:

[ceramictec]

the good game was Auburn & Northwestern. loaded with action.


but it was good to see FSU Seminole's win the Gator Bowl (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recap?gid=201001010003&prov=ap) Game against
WV mountaineers and give Bobby Bowden his last win before he retires !!

33-21

[ceramictec]

Brian, being a beaver fan, you are now on my black list

but none the less, GO OREGON. :confused:
how do you say your a Beaver fan but say "Go Ducks" in post 61 ?

flip flopper! :tongue:

[The Kid]

First and foremost, im an Oregon St. fan.

But, when there not playing I still like to see an Oregon team win.:D

[John Bridge]

Well, hell, looks like the Buckeyes ain't gonna lie down for us. 10-zip Ohio State. :D

[The Kid]

Make that 10-10 John.:D

[ceramictec]

Akkk ok, i get mixed up with O State and O.
just like Fl State and Fl

[ceramictec]

not the way you wanted it to go huh?

Ohio State in control of the Rose Bowl against Oregon.
OSU 26, ORE 17 (Final)

[K_Tile]

[e3]

[ceramictec]

[scuttlebuttrp]

HAH!
The ducks got whipped.
Whoohoo! Go Buckeyes.

and yeah cincy doesn't stand a chance against Florida.

[ceramictec]

c'mon, Is this the Cincy High School team?
Because the Gators are making Gator Bait out of them!

[ceramictec]

This isnt even looking good for Cincy
23-0 and it isnt even half time yet.

http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f207/dana9885/Florida-Gators--.jpg

[SevrinJ]

To bad they didn't play Alabama like this or we'd be watching them play next week.

[ceramictec]

it wasn't even close, the Gators destroyed Cincy.
they gave them the last few TD's

[John Bridge]

Buckeyes shaded the Ducks. "We was robbed." ;)

[e3]

I was just kidding!!
I wanted Fla. the whole time!!yep thats the ticket..
How about MSU over TX. tonight..MSU is missing 14 players and TX ,missing a coach!!

[ceramictec]

Ole Miss just put the stake in OSU with the fumble return for a TD.

[ceramictec]

Wow Eric, that Mich U vs Texas Tech was a good game.
MSU was doing good until TT brought in the new QB and he started throwing.

[e3]

that was a good game..Makes ya question why the back up QB is the back up QB ,and the starting QB isnt the back-up QB ,making the back-up, the starting QB and the starting QB the back-up QB ???????

[irish tileguy in michigan]

I think i understand what you mean Eric.:scratch:
No bowls on today so ill have to watch the Lions beat the Bears:stirpot:

[ceramictec]

I'm going with the Bears.

but the next 4 bowl games should be good ones too :tup2:

[ceramictec]

wow, the Iowa - Georgia Tech game was good tonight ! :tup2:

[ceramictec]

Eric, are you watching this Mich Vs NY Bowl game ?

[irish tileguy in michigan]

Man, that turned out to be one hell of a finish. Finally an exciting bowl game

[ceramictec]

hell yeah..great game, what a come back and then a double OT !!!
LeFevour is the man!!:tup2:

[Bugman]

That was a fantastic game.

[e3]

no, I missed the whole thing,!!Centrals QB is great,set the all time record for passing if I recall..BIG GAME TONIGHT

[ceramictec]

BIG GAME TONIGHTI'm going to have to go with Alabama since they beat up on my Gators bad.
I really like watching Ingram run the ball too, he's a good guy and I hope one
day to see him a pro. as long as he doesn't get cocky and screwed up like the pros are.

[irish tileguy in michigan]

Alabama here too.

[Brad Denny]

s e c
s e c

s e c!

[ceramictec]

Big Game is ON !!!!!!

[tilerite]

Go texas!!

[ceramictec]

dork...lol

yeah Texas is kicking butt, but McCoy is out..ohh noo!

[tilerite]

Nick Saben is a classless creep. I'm not necessarily a Texas fan but I will root for them tonight. Probably won't help. Mark Ingram is a beast!!

[ceramictec]

Bama is just warming up. They have Texas.
This is how they beat the Gators, by pounding them.

[Brad Denny]

I have company over that doesn't know anything about football and she asked who my wife and I were rooting for. I tried to explain that Alabama is evil and that Saben is the devil, but we are cheering for them tonight because they are in the SEC. She thinks we're crazy. :D

[MudMaker]

Whatever you're doin Brad - it's workin..

[ceramictec]

it's all good, this is college football.....its all about having fun :D

[ceramictec]

Wow, great football game for the last one, i'm impressed with the Horns QB now.

[John K]

Hell with the horns. Rollllllll Tide!!!:D

[tilerite]

Congrats to the Alabama fans. Quite an impressive team.

[ceramictec]

what a bunch of great bowl games to finish the season :tup1:
