2009 SEC Football Discussion Thread

[Scott L]

Someone's a bit jealous and nervous. I don't blame you for that. It's going to be hard losing two years in a row.

I promise it will get easier when we make it a threepeat next year!

Enen though Mike S is a War Eagle man I am also getting a whiff of Superman invy. Checkout Wiki's superb information about the mighty SEC conference along with a link with the history of the SEC Championship Championship game. This is Florida's 10th visit...

Wow... I had no idea!

So this will be our fifth meeting against Bama for the Championship! We have won the last three (four, if you include today ) and Bama won only the first meeting. I like the odds here.

I will be at the Florida Dive Show today, wearing Orange and Blue instead of my usual ScubaBoard shirt.

This is simply staggering when you look at it. The Gators have played in 10 out of 18 of these championships. If we win today, our winning percentage will be 80%. No wonder the dawgs hate us and the Vols cower when we are around. The Dawgs used to be the dominant team in the south... I guess they lost some teeth along the way!

BTW, the genesis of this game was simply fascinating to read about. They took a loop hole meant for AA teams and ran with it. This is the conduit for the National Championship game. If you don't win here, you probably aren't going to the big dance.

Uhh... the VOLS have won 5 more SEC Championships than the Gators and 2 more "Official" national titles. Granted the Gators are on a roll for now, but I see that changing soon.

what's up with these Florida uniforms? is that some "retro look" ?

 

[The Chairman]

That wasn't the stat... We have only had the Championship GAME for the last 18 years. No one has won that game more than we have.

Although, it's not looking too good right now!

I think Auburn has already proved the Tide can be stopped. All you have to do is "shut down Ingram".

If Urban was watching the game last weekend, which I supposed he has, then he should be able to figure that out. All he has to do is apply the right defense to stop Bama. Then let Tebow do his thing on the offense.

If not, then Bama will win. I think it will be pretty simple.

should be a GREAT game regardless.

Well.... Halftime. It's pretty clear that Florida hasn't figured out how to stop Bama.

Bama's offense is just out playing them.


I sure Urban and both Tebow will give them a motivational speach during halftime. I expect Florida to come out with more zest in their playing.

But if Bama shuts them down in the first 5 minutes, I think it'll knock the wind out of Florida.

I didn't follow the link, I Googled Conference Champions. I see what your saying, since the East/West split.

Right now, it looks like Superman is facing a team loded with Crimsonite!

Tebow's Choking.... He's just "not performing".

Thought he had a chance for a comeback, but he ended that play series by throwing an interception in the endzone.

down 32 to 13 with 4:48 left in the 4th.


Looks like they are gonna have force feed Tebow if he keeps choking!
