Alabama upsets No. 1 Florida in SEC title game
the Sporting News ^ | 12-5-09 | Sporting News Statf reports

Alabama is headed for the BCS championship game, thanks to a stunning -- and near-perfect -- victory over No. 1 Florida. The Crimson Tide, ranked No. 2, broke open a tight SEC title game in Atlanta with a solid second half, defeating the Gators 32-13 on Saturday.

The Crimson Tide punched their ticket to the national title game with a magnificent performance against Florida, the defending national champion. They pounded out just shy of 500 yards of offense and forced Gators QB Tim Tebow into uncharacteristic mistakes.

Folks don’t understand the escalation of talent.

I respect Tebow immensely. He is a man of god and a great leader with a very promising future.

Kinda sounds like Tiger Woods - no?

I don’t understand all the Tebow hate. The kid is a winner and inspirational young man, yet so many find so much glee in ripping him apart.

I’m just glad that I get to see Bama play for the title while I’m a student here.

Oh, I dunno. Fame does some strange things to some people.

Where did that come from? Tiger has never once proclaimed himself to be a Christian. Tiger has always been about Tiger. And to be honest, no one can say this gal supported Tiger in anything. He has always came off a bit arrogant. Oh much like Barack... Now back to what matters...celebrating BAMA’s great victory!

The Tennessee team that Alabama beat prepared them for this game. IMHO, there is no team that wants to play Tennessee. For all of you junkies out there...Go ahead...Bet against the Tennessee bowl win.. :^)

Alabama, aside from a little glitch in the second quarter, was just awesome. They so dominated Florida.

Well Tebow has used his fame for nothing but positives. He is a rare conservative traditional christian and makes no bones about it.

Florida was over-rated, and their defense got a DUI last week.

No more smack talk from me, you deserve your celebration. I’m just glad that you guys are getting your money’s worth with Saban.

Where did that come from?

No idea. All I've heard this past week was how squeaky-clean Tiger was - until he got busted. Kid's dreams are shattered. Moms and dads don't know what to do.

Public appearance is EVERYTHING these days. We've seen Michael Phelps huffing bongs. OJ kills his wife.

What happens when Tebow screws up?

“Florida was over-rated.”

Maybe. I always thought Florida should have been ranked #3 instead of #1. My poll has had Alabama #1, Texas #2, and Florida #3 for quite some time.

So now every exceptional athlete is destined to be like Tiger? Generalize much? Just admit you’re a Tebow hater, ok?
