December 5th, 2008 ║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink ║ Tags: Alabama, Florida
Everybody and their brother is writing about the SEC Championship Game, so we thought we’d provide you all the links and headlines in one massive post… in no particular order.
Consider it a potpourri of football news. Enjoy.
The Championship Game is making for a very, very tough ticket.
Joseph Goodman of The Miami Herald gives you 11 match-ups to watch tomorrow… and he takes the Gators big.
With Roy Upchurch suffering neck spasms, don’t be surprised to see more of Terry Grant at tailback. He led the Tide in rushing last year.
As great as Tim Tebow has been, he has never been Florida’s starter in a championship game.
After a lackluster year of SEC football, it appears that CBS has hit the jackpot with tomorrow’s “national semifinal.”
If you haven’t read one of the 1,500 “Tebow almost went to Bama” stories that have been written this week, well, here’s another chance.
Lee Corso thinks Tebow will make a fine pro quarterback. But he also thinks he should return to the college game next year. “He epitomizes what college football is all about.” (Vomit bags are available upon request for all non-Florida fans.)
Coaches and scouts weigh in on tomorrow’s match-up in this interesting, in-depth column.
Did you miss that “Tebow almost went to Bama” story about six lines up? That’s okay, here’s another one.
Percy Harvin is still a question mark for the Gators.
John Parker Wilson wonders why he’s been fielding Tebow questions this week.
The build-up to this year’s championship game reminds one Alabama columnist of the build-up to the 1992 SEC title game. In that one, the tougher Tide got past the high-flyin’ Gators.
Don’t count Tebow out of the Heisman hunt just yet.
Nick Saban has established his philosophy in Tuscaloosa and stuck to it for two years. Now the Tide is on the verge of a national title.
UPDATED…
It’s taken a long time, but Alabama is finally living up to Bear Bryant’s legacy again.
Urban Meyer hopes that Harvin will practice today.
Speed + fast track = advantage: Gators.
Here’s another key match-up to watch: UF receivers versus Bama safety Rashad Johnson.
Finally… here’s a long, detailed preview of the game. Print this out and keep it next to your beer and chips. Nice work, Jeremy Folwer of The Orlando Sentinel.
