Florida's worst loss in 15 years: It's kind of incredible that Florida hasn't lost by 30 points or more since the 1996 Fiesta Bowl. (Tyler Jett, The Independent Florida Alligator)

John Brantley out for Auburn: If you're counting, David Pingalore was first to "report" what should have been pretty obvious from the high ankle sprain diagnosis. (@PBPjasonlieser)

Jacoby Brissett on the rise: I'm stunned that the PBP is rooting for the local kid to start against Auburn. (Dave George, Palm Beach Post)

Brissett will have memories: Except, you know, he didn't get to tell UF's house organ about them. (Scott Carter, GatorZone)

Hard road ahead: The Gators are at a crossroads. (Scott Carter, GatorZone)

Trey Burton needs to can it: Yes, it's remarkably candid for Burton to say that LSU's secondary was "not as good as advertised." Yes, it's also stupid to be saying anything less than laudatory about a team that just curb-stomped you. (Rachel George, Swamp Things/Orlando Sentinel)

Will Muschamp's injury secrecy: Read that first section and tell me Pat Dooley isn't sort of upset about Florida keeping injuries under wraps. (Pat Dooley, Gainesville Sun)

Broncos should start Tim Tebow: More wishful thinking, this time from the Gray Lady. (William Rhoden, The New York Times)

I thought so

Until I saw John Fux’s press conference after the game and he completely avoided talking about Tim playing. I honestly think he has some sort of personal grudge against him cuz he acts like he’s the Jewish red headed step child in an aryian family.

I honestly believe that John Fox is going to go back to Kyle Orton next week. i have almost no doubt in my mind he does it. For some god forbidden reason he just has some inpenetrable fortress full of hate for Tim Tebow that will make him sit Tim until his contract is up in denver. He did it with Jake Delhomme hell do it with Kyle Orton.

Also, if there is one thing I remember from my History of U.S. Journalism class in college, it is that the New York Times, got the nickname “The Grey Lady” because of all the print and no pictures.

Yay for remembering something irrelevant as that until now from way back in 2003!

Oh yeah.

You know your a tebow fan when you HATE the nfl and never watch a down yet you are driving down the road and get a text from a friend that says “tebows in” and you get off at the next exit and drive around until you find a random place with a TV and say you need them to put the broncos game on right now and you see tebow on the TV and grin from ear to ear like a 5 year old at a candy store.

Yes that just happened.
