The 2010 NFL draft yielded great returns for the Florida Gators as the Gators had more players selected than any other school in the draft. The Gators set a school record by having 6 players taken in this first three rounds of this year’s draft, and tied a school record by having 3 players selected in the first round. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to many as the Gators have been the premiere college football team in the...
NCAA football’s governing body just approved rule changes earlier today that will take effect starting in 2011 to include no eye black messages, no wedge blocking, and no major taunting. We first reported the proposed rule change back in February, but now it’s official. Players wearing eye black will be forbidden to write any messages on their glare blocking accessories. While eye black has always been a part of football, the trend of writing messages on them really took off...
Tim Tebow was in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, this weekend to sign autographs for his south Florida fans. However, the University of Florida’s version of Britain’s Winston Churchill made one couple’s visit one that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. An enamored, slightly obsessed, Tebow fan enlisted the former Gator quarterback’s assistance with proposing to his soon to be wife. It’s hard to to tell who’s happier, the fiance or her future husband. Watch the video,...
Tim Tebow’s buzz right now is bigger than Barack Obama’s was on January 20th, 2009. The man could probably challenge Marco Rubio (R-FL), the current leader in the Florida Senate race, and win. However, it seems as if Tebow might have stepped on a few toes during testing at the 2010 NFL combine in Indianapolis earlier this month. According to Pro Football Talk, Tebow apparently offended another NFL hopeful during the administering of the Wonderlic Test. Before the test was handed...
Florida DT Gary Brown does not know how to celebrate Valentine’s Day. The 19 year old apparently had a bit of cupid’s rage on Sunday. According to the Alachua County Jail records, Brown struck two women who were trying to kick people out of a house party. Brown’s first slap landed smack on one woman’s face and the other slap landed on the other woman’s arm causing minor scratches. As a result of his extra-curricular activities, Brown was arrested...
Gator God Tim Tebow will serve as Grand Marshal for the Gatorade Duels (Daytona 500’s qualifying event). Jacksonville Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew will serve as Marshal as well. Make no mistake though, Tebow will be the crowd favorite. Fresh off of his acting debut, this is just another stop on the 2007 Heisman winner’s guest appearance circuit. While serving as Grand Marshal is good for Tebow’s PR campaign, one can’t help but think that this downtime should be used...
The last college football game of the season was played in Mobile, Alabama on Saturday. College football’s stars took to the field one final time in the Senior Bowl as the South’s Tim Tebow (Florida) aimed to silence his critics who claim that he does not have what it takes to succeed in the NFL. Unfortunately for Tebow and the South, the North squad came out of the gates swinging early and never looked back, winning 31-13. Tebow started the game for...
Florida’s All-American (not All-Academic) defensive end Carlos Dunlap did about the stupidest act one could do prior to the SEC championship game. Around 3:25 a.m. today, Gainesville police arrested Dunlap and booked him into the Alachua County jail on charges of DUI. Apparently, late Monday night, an eye-witness saw someone driving recklessly in the area. The police dispatched an officer into the area and subsequently found the parked Chrysler that matched the witnesses’ description stopped at a green light...
