Game Three: Florida @ Tennessee

by mlmintampa on Sep 20, 2008 12:25 PM EDT in Florida Football

Our gal Miss Lindsey already sent a report this morning complimenting Tennessee fans for being so polite to the Gator fans this morning. Clearly the calm before the storm. Shortly after that, an old friend who went to FSU but is now becoming a priest (which very much cancels out the mistake of attending FSU), dropped this in an email;

"I hope UF destroys Tennessee. I got a taste of Tennessee fans a couple years ago when I went to the Outback Bowl where they played Penn State. I sat in a section surrounded by orange-clad Rocky Top singing rednecks. I won't go into details, but suffice to say that I was turned off forever."

Folks, when a future Catholic priest thinks your fan base sucks, well, you suck. That said, I enjoy Al Gore and Jack Daniel's, so I'm not totally anti-Tennessee.

Enjoy the game and we'll see you back here later.

Anyone on?

Remember when we were kids and we mixed sodas together and called them "suicides"? It was OK though, because Dr. Pepper was always there.

Good gosh this looks one sided so far.

Tennessee worried...

can you be worried when 10 points happens so quickly? You haven’t had a chance to worry.

Interesting half.

Safe to say Tennesse does not deserve to win this game, and they did not deserve that TD.

But, as fate would have it…INTERCEPTION! I am pleased.

Now tell the refs to stop giving the Vols gifts, this isn’t Christmas.

Ugh.

Refs are giving Tennessee every chance to stay in this game.

Shutout

How big a statement would it be to shut out Tennessee at home in the SEC opener? The Gators are here to make their mark, baby! SEC champs!

GAME

Well, it wasn’t a shutout, but it was dominant.
Tebow = developing into big-time QB
Harvin = good team player, big TD catch
Moore = should challenge Moore for the starting RB job, along with Rainey+Demps
D-Line = good pressure, not many legitimate long runs
Spikes + LB Crew = lived up to his words and made lots of tackles
DB’s = MUCH, MUCH better than last season (side note- Anybody get the followup on Haden’s injury?)
ST + James= FREAKING AWESOME, Hesteresque performance from James, good FGs by Phillips, great punts by Henry, good long kickoffs from Sturgis

Ole Miss next week. The Snead kid looks good, and I’m hoping that we leave that game healthier than we did last year. Arkansas isn’t much of a threat, they got ROLLED by ‘Bama today. LSU, Kentucky (Homecoming), and then THE WORLD’S LARGEST OUTDOOR COCKTAIL PARTY.

My prediction for the AP TOP 10 this week (barring an unforeseen upset): 1. USC, 2. OU, 3. UGA, 4. UF, 5. LSU, 6. BAMA, 7. MIZZOU, 8. BYU, 9. TX, 10. WISC
