Florida vs. Tennessee

It has been suggested by a somewhat biased accountant partner of my father that Florida at Tennessee has been the best college football game of the year. I'm going to have to agree with him on that one. It had all the drama and suspense that a classic college football game should have along with all the hatred that goes along with a big rivalry. My personal favorite parts of that game were when Urban Meyer would replace Chris Leak with Tim Tebow to run the option or a qb sneak for the first down. Everyone in the whole freakin' stadium knew that the kid wasn't going to throw but they still couldn't stop him from picking up first downs on the run. Of course, my friend thinks that Urban Meyer is just bluffing the whole college football world before he has Tebow throw a 60-yard touchdown pass against LSU or Auburn. Now that could definitely work and it will probably have to because Florida's upcoming two week stretch against LSU and Auburn will be what defines their season. Win both of those games and they will probably be in the National Championship game. So Mr. Tschopp, start praying that the ball bounces UF's way during those two weeks and you could be celebrating come January. And let's hope that happens because watching Florida dominate Ohio State or USC would be so gratifying for every football fan in the south. Down with the Pac-10 and Big 10!
