LEGENDARY

To Quote Barney, from the T.V. show: "How I Met Your Mother" ---- LEGENDARY!
-
The 2008/ 2009 Florida Gators are not just an ordinary National Championship Football Team, they are LEGENDARY. This is a dynasty. What we have the opportunity to watch here is the National Champions from two of the last three years.
-
Its like being a UCLA basketball fan in the late 60's and early 70's. Urban Meyer plays the role of John Wooden.
-
Its like the past tense of that movie "Field of Dreams" It has been built and they are here.
-
Urban Meyer wanted the fastest team in America and thats what he has. You aren't even allowed to be a trainer at Florida if you cant hang with Husain Bolt in the 100 meters for at least a little while. Fans have to run sub 5 second forty yard dashes before they are allowed to buy season tickets.
-
All respect to Sam Bradford. He is a really good Quarterback. But last night, just like Dorothy said to Toto, or at least something close: "Florida's Defense Isn't Kansas', and I dont think we are in the Big 12 anymore Toto." Okay, maybe thats not quite what she uttered, but if she was done following the yellow brick road and had tickets to last nights game, that might have been something she said. Who brings their dog to a National Championship Game anyways?

Tebow is the Greatest College Football player of all time. He wills his team to win. It is such a joy to be a Gator fan because of the whole team, but especially because of that kid. When he is not busy dominating College Football at the highest level, he spends his spare time creating a better earth for us all to enjoy. Again, nothing against Bradford, but next year when Tebow wins his second Heisman and Third National Championship, the only thing not right about it will be that its not his Third Heisman.
Enjoy the Gator Aid bath Urban, Many more are sure to follow.

I am very impressed by Tim Tebow. Maybe it's because I don't follow college football as much as I used to, but I didn't know about his humanitarian efforts until this week. What a great person. That's a much better compliment than saying what a great football player.

That said, I'd still like to see a playoff system in college football. Tell me a Florida vs. Utah game wouldn't make for a good story with Urban Meyer having coached both teams and all.

Minnow -- as far as a College Football playoff is concerned you sir are preaching to the choir. Next year would be a great time to start it This year though My team is sitting on a 21 and I would never want to hit on that.... To use a vegas analogy

Quite impressive. I would like to see the 3 or 4 other Big 12 QBs that are supposed to be better than Tebow. Maybe they are being "red shirted" this season so they never made it to the field. I guess we'll see how they compare next year if and when Tebow returns. And what do we have to do to get the NCAA Nat'l Champ to play the biggest loser of the NFL season in a pay per view event? That would awesome. Who do you think wins that game this year and theoretically for the next 10 years (college or pro). I vote pro wins 8 our 10 times. But it would be great fun to watch.

what she said was, "suck it up"


they just cut it from the final edition.

Pro Teams have 53 players on them that are professional athletes. The Gators probably only have about 25 on their roster right now that will eventually play pro ball so I think probably the worst pro team would still wear out the best college team ... Also I have been to quite a few pro games and many college games and the bottom line is that its just faster in the NFL

QB -- I am pretty sure she didnt say "suck it up" but that would have been funny
