Tim Tebow, Baseball, Another Championship: What You Missed This Weekend

Print- The Tim Tebow Draft Watch continued this weekend when Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen were in Gainesville to see Tebow. (Remember, a few weeks ago, Tebow worked out with former Bucs coach Jon Gruden, who held Allen's strings when the two were in Tampa.) Current Washington quarterback Jason Campbell has not been impressive for the Skins, so Tebow might get a chance to start in Washington sooner that he would some place else. The Redskins have the fourth pick, which they could use on a quarterback, but not if they are willing to give Campbell another chance. If Tebow were to go to DC and be successful with the Redskins, the hero worship would rival Tebow's following in Florida. The Palm Beach Post also reported that Patriots' Bill Belichick was in Gainesville as well. There might be a few NFL personnel men visiting as they are in Orlando for NFL meetings this week.
- The Gators also got under the scholarship limit by cutting DTs Gary Brown and Edwin Herbert.
- Gator Baseball swept Mississippi State in their SEC opener. The Gators (16-3, 3-0) used the long ball and good pitching to earn the sweep. Sunday, freshman Austin Maddox hit a 3-run homer in the bottom of the 8th to win 4-1. Hudson Randall might have earned the Sunday spot with 5.1 IP, 4 hits and 1 run in a no-decision. Kevin Chapman picked up the win with 2.1 scoreless innings. That followed Chapman's adventurous fourth save in the Gators 5-4 win Saturday. UF led 5-1, when Miss State (11-9, 0-3) scored 1 run in the 8th and 2 in the 9th against Chapman. Freshman Brian Johnson pitched well in the no-decision, allowing 1 run on 5 hits in 6.1 innings. 1B Preston Tucker was 2-4 with his 4th homer and 3 RBI. Tucker also hit the ball well in Friday's 7-2 win, going 2-4 with a solo homer. Maddox was 2-4 with 3 RBI, double and home run. Alex Panteliodis moved to 5-0 with 7.1 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits and striking out 3. Maddox leads the Gators with 6 home runs and Tucker has 4. Maddox leads UF with 27 RBI. UF faces Florida Gulf Coast on Wednesday and goes to Ole Miss (15-5, 2-1) this weekend.
- The Gator Women's Swimming and Diving team won their first National Championship since 1982. It is the 24th championship for Gator Athletics.
- Also, former Gator Dazzler Erin Andrews is on "Dancing With The Stars" tonight. This is the only reason why any respectable man should ever watch that show.

Great Post
If he goes to Washington and starts off the bat any hopes for him becoming a good QB in the NFL go down the drain….in my opinion. HE needs to sit a year or two behind an established QB who can show him the ropes of NFL play. Again, in my opinion.
Why are we so damn good at baseball every year?
Why are we so good at swimming every year?
I had no idea Erin Andrews went to Florida…and that makes her so much hotter than she already is.

Erin Andrews
Erin is indeed hotter than a four dollar pistol. I still miss Jill Arrington on rainy days though. I mean a lot.
Im sick of Erin Andrews
After the hotel incident, everyone has jumped on her band wagon. Shes hot, but she never shows anything. Do a swim suit cover or something. Then I will go crazy over her.

She’s not just a pretty face. Her father is an investigative reporter in Tampa and she learned from him. That is why she is always well prepared. She spoke once at Weimer Hall (Comm school) and showed a legal pad full of notes for a Braves/Mets game. She also told the cute sorority girls in the audience that they have to work hard and not rely on looks, otherwise they would never get her job.

Thats fine, I am not dissing her reporting skills.
But she didnt get on Dancing With the Stars from her hard work on football side lines.

You get a pass because of your age!
We are not nearly as good at baseball every year as we should be. We consistently trail FSU and Miami in the sport despite an overabundance of baseball talent in the state. Same goes for swimming – we are always competitive, but geez….based on the number of kids who grow up with pools in their backyard and swimming year round, we should easily be the best in the SEC every year. That used to be the case until Auburn and UGA somehow got better than us. Hopefully we’ve started to turn that back around!
Here here to the lady Gators swim team! Let’s hope the guys can follow suit this weekend. We are threatening to finally give a serious run at the Director’s Cup…baseball, softball, gymnastics, tennis all playing well. You have to assume the track (outdoor) team will be good too.
Go Gators.
Thanks for the pass ski.
I did kinda feel like a retard for not knowing that hahaha. But at the same time i was 9 in 2000 and i dont remember ever hearing where Erin went to school.
I guess ill have to take your word about the other sports, im not a big follower of college baseball and swimming. I just always hear were winning in both so i just assumed we were the best in both. But then again…you know what they say about assuming…

plus
Erin Andrews was a Dazzler at UF. They used to always show her old Dazzler photo whenever she covered a Gator game. Her profile also says she was a Zeta. That makes sense.
You should check out Gatorzone.com every once in a while to keep up with the rest of the Gator sports. They have a handy chart that shows the current record and ranking (both SEC and National) of all the teams.
