Game Eleven: Citadel @ Florida

The last home game of the year is against a I-AA opponent who is 4-7 and has lost 6 of their last 7 games. If Florida does not score at least 70, something is wrong. The most important thing, other than a massive win, is everyone stays healthy for the 1-2 punch of The School Out West and Alabama in the next two weeks.

The last home game could be a historic one. Not only is this Mr. Two Bits last game (is the crazy Orange-and-Blue Guy taking over?) but it could be the last games for Percy Harvin and Tim Tebow. Neither has lit the fires of NFL scouts (unless Tebow as a fullback gets you excited), so maybe they will hang around one more season.

Today's game is on pay per view, so I hope your friendly with your local Gator Club. If your local Gator Club is not at a bar with the game on, well, they are terrible and should lose their charter. Enjoy the game and for the love of God, stay healthy.

Thanks for the story on Two-Bits.

Ive been a Gators fan since the early 90s (im 22 years old)…but I dont or never went to their college. So stories like this I dont get to see very often.

I knew of him, but didn’t know his history and such. Go Gators!

And now these Bulldogs have outscored the previous.

Harvin.

If Percy doesn’t jump to the NFL, he’s out of his mind. His fragility demands that he make the leap to the pros ASAP and his prodigious talent should secure him the solid payday associated with a late first round (maybe early second) pick. Spikes I think will make the jump up as well.

As for Tebow, he’ll stay. There’s no demand for him at the pros and he’ll have a chance to secure his place as the greatest college player of all-time while raising the banner of his beloved UF a notch higher in 2009.
