As a Gator fan I have a unwritten contract to despise everything that has to do with FSU and Georgia. They are our rivals – okay, not Georgia so much, since we own them. And there’s no way you can like your rival’s coach.

That’s easy with FSU. Yes, I know, I’ve heard it…”Not like Bobby Bowden? But he seems like such a nice, Christian man.” I don’t buy it. I don’t like him.

And Georgia’s coach? Well…rats. I can’t not like him, which is really terrible from a football perspective. After all, not only is he the head coach at Georgia, but he used to be on the staff at FSU. Trouble is, he’s genuine, a good coach, and really represents Christ well.

Was I mad at what he had his team do on the goal line last year, stomping and jumping around? No. It was a tactic which worked well…last year.

And since we throttled them last week, it’s all good.

I say all that to explain why I’m posting this video of the Georgia coach and his family. Because it’s good. And inspirational. I hope Georgia does well for the rest of the year.

Other games might not go so well. (LSU and Georgia are on the schedule)

But it’s always great to play Tennessee. Neyland Stadium is beginning to be like another home game. The Gator Sports Shop should set up an outlet store there.

The best part of winning any rivalry game is to read the newspaper of the opposing school afterwards. This article is good…but the comments at the bottom of it, from loyal fans of the Stumbling Vols, are priceless.

This picture, from the Gainesville Sun, of a guy going with the Heath Ledger/Joker look…how appropriate, if not a little creepy.

Go Gators.

Apparently, Miami coach, Randy Shannon was angry about the late field goal by the Gators last Saturday. Upset about Urban Meyer’s decision to keep playing football, Shannon whined, “Sometimes, when you do things and people see what type of person that you really are, you turn a lot of people off.” Was he talking about himself?

Loved Tim Tebow’s response. “They’re paid to stop us and Coach Mullen (offensive coordinator Dan Mullen) is paid to score. If they don’t do that, oh well.”

We see what kind of person you are, Randy.
