By the way Bobda that was one heck of a showing by your Michigan team. The Gators will be a long time licking their wounds. Congratulations on a game well played and the way the Michigan players played for a coach they obviously thought a lot of.
Congratulations Bobda on a job very well done by Michigan. I guess Tebow obviously came up short and proved how inept he was by only leading Florida to 35 points and having one TD called back. Yep...pretty inept performance....or are these guys trying to say indirectly that Michigan is very inept on defense and UF should have scored 45 points no problem? Let's see.....title contender Ohio State caught the Michigan offense when it was literally crippled and giving no help to the Maize and Blue defense and yet that Buckeye offense could only manage 14 measly points. Help me out Bobda.....explain how Tebow's efforts were so lame as these guys here on Skybox draw the conclusion that he would be 5th string at USC. Where in the hell does that leave the entire starting offensive unit for Ohio State?
MotorCity, the Ohio State contingent has been nothing but gracious here, please don't drag them into this conversation. This is about three ABBTT (Any Body But Tim Tebow) guys who love to make outrageous statements about the Gators and Tebow but when challenged fall back on being attacked by Gators. Mostly in this case, one Gator, me who is still waiting for two of them to give any alternative to Tebow after the bowl games. Corey did give a lame alternative, a Texas Tech player whose name he didn't even know, but Tailback and JO'Co remain quiet except for the lame statement by JO'Co that Tebow couldn't bust the top 5 QB's at S. Cal. A statement that anyone here knows is not true. But Ohio State doesn't have a dog in this hunt so let's leave them alone. Besides I'm rooting for the Buckeye's Monday night. :lol: :lol:
OK....edited it to be more Buckeye friendly because you're right. However...it is still a good point of comparison.
what the f8ck <r>my alternative is lame because I couldn't remember his name? Cody, Colt, Jim Bob, Graham, Jethro... one of those Texas names <E></E><br/> <br/> But my 'lame' alternative passed for 5705 yards, completing 71.8% for 48 TDs and 14 INTs...leading his team to a 9-4 record and a bowl win..<br/> <br/> I guess all non-Gators are lame?</r>
Corey, I didn't say your candidate was lame. What was lame was that you couldn't even remember the name of the guy your think deserves the Heisman. It really kind of made me think that you were just scratching your head looking for an alternative to Tebow. But hey I could be wrong and for sure he will get your tally when I tally them up tomorrow morning. It does seem though that a couple of people who think Tebow was such a poor choice don't seem to have any real candidate themselves don't you think?
but <t>you're making my point...<br/> <br/> <br/> everyone knows tebow's name because its been rammed down our throat since he was basically a glorified FB in goal line situations last year.<br/> <br/> Almost no one knows Graham Harrell's name or the numbers he put up..<br/> <br/> I was more concerned with the actual case than the headline name.</t>
I hardly made your point Corey and I never said I didn't know his name, I said you nominated someone whose name you didn't seem to remember. I find that kind of strange that your candidate for such and honor is someone whose name you didn't know. But hey I might have read that wrong.
Thanks, Bill. By this time next year, this game will be a distant memory for Gator fans. Florida is a young team, loaded with talent. I suspect that at this time next year, MCG and you will be posting about the Gators playing for the BCS championship. In contrast, it will be a new, uncertain world next season for Michigan fans as it will be the first time since 1968 that michigan will be led by someone not affiliated with Schembechler. While I understand Rodriguez's motives in not retaining all but 1 of Carr's assistants, yesterday's game was a template of the best aspects of that era and a memorable finale.
and again <t>its because one guy has his name plastered all over the place while another guy doing great things goes unreported.<br/> <br/> Both led 9-4 seasons. One rallied his team to a bowl win, the other didn't despite being handed the game by the opposition.</t>
Chico...puleeze...enough with the Graham Harrell stuff. He's not even the best QB in the B12 South. Colt McCoy lead his team to a 10-3 record and a huge Bowl win over the PAC10 Co-Champion. He'd be a better choice than that dude from Texas Tick. Sam Bradford is more deserving.
Thanks Bobda, I wonder about Rodriguez firing all the assistants but one myself. But I do think you got a good coach. Are you happy with the choice?
Bobda, let me also say thanks for the compliment about the Gators and if we are lucky enough to be in the BCS Championship again next year I hope I can handle it with the grace you have always put forth.
No Corey, way up front in this topic Terry voted for Tebow. He did remember the name of the guy he thought was best.
Mo, After Urban made the astute decision to move to Gainesville, you folks became the new bogeyman for some of the SB/Domer contingent. If we had a good archival system, you would see that many of the charges flowing Florida's way are essentially cut-and-paste variations of previously made claims registered against Michigan. But, alas, we slipped so now the love heads your way. You will know you really arrived when excerpts from NDnation are posted here breaking the story that Urban is on death's door suffering from smallpox and the plauge.
Bill, if you have not learned that SC and the Pac10 have an infinite number of stud QB's all of whom would start everywhere simultaneously and dominate all of college fooball well into the next millenieum then you just have not been listening....JOC'o has been regurgitating that crap forever....Vince Young, Troy Smith, now its Tebow's turn in the barrel. For what its worth, imho, Tebow has an opportunity to be a fine, fine NFL QB. He has all the non-coachable attributes in spades.....size, athletic abilty, arm strength and leadership. Give me a break, the kid is just a sophmore! If he is coached up well, he will learn the rest and develop into a first rate NFL prospect. I don't know of any soph QB who is even close to being a finished product at the highest levels of the college game....with the possible exception of Sam Bradford the OU kid. His poise and decision-making for a FROSH is extraordinary and he is the rare, rare exception. But I digress, Tebow is what 19 or 20 years old. He will learn, develop and there is no reason to think that he won't become a great NFL prospect....lets take a poll. How many guys on here think Tebow will not be a first round draft pick????
You are my kind of guy Terry. I vote Tebow is a first round draft pick. Let me also add this, you are right about the non-coachable attributes and he is also a very coachable kid!
