This Was Obligatory

Never say I didn’t do anything for you, Tennessee fans.

How USC’s 2006 Class Epitomizes the Silliness of Recruiting Rankings

From this Rivals article on today’s storylines:

…but the biggest question about Florida’s class is about whether Urban Meyer and company can surpass the record-setting 2006 class signed by Pete Carroll at USC.

Record-setting seems like an odd word for that class. Let’s examine what actually happened in the true reality of real life that is not Rivals’ massive virtual snake oil distillery!

Joakim Noah on Tim Tebow: “He Could Play Anything He Wants”

He knows what being the center of attention is.

I’ll admit that though Tim Tebow is probably the best land-based athlete the University of Florida has had this decade (I see you, Ryan Lochte), my favorite is still Joakim Noah, who made up in height, boundless happiness, and purported capacity for free thought for what his reign lacked in length, relative to the Tebowverlord.

(What that has to with Noah being a Tebow fan, and a huge one, I don’t know. But I needed to say it.)

Vengeance for Before, Cheers for Now

I read this, on Tim Tebow, in Bruce Feldman’s always-a-must-read Sunday notes:

He also now has 56 rushing touchdowns in his career, three behind Eric Crouch for the FBS record among quarterbacks.

It got me thinking.

Surviving Starkville

The 29-19 score wasn’t pretty.

On Banzai and Bonsai

A note: This blog is going to be Gator-heavy for this season. And I may be trying out Posterisks. For both of these things, I apologize in advance.

Word from Gator Country ($) is that the Gators’ no-huddle package, deployed sparingly in the steamrolling of Charleston Southern, is called either “banzai” or “bonzai” or “bansai” or something. (Gator Bytes confirms this.)

What it should be called*, in any case, is scary.

Keep Your Head

As always, standing tall.

Until yesterday, I liked Chris Leak more than I liked Tim Tebow.

Sometimes, Tim Tebow is Wrong

It’s not Tim Tebow that’s wrong, per se. (Of course.) But on the April 21st episode of JEOPARDY!, contestant Alex Hooper drew a blank in Final Jeopardy.
