On Saturday afternoon, it won't be another game day in Gainesville. Saturday's game versus Florida State is much more meaningful. It will be the final game of Tim Tebow at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Four years ago, Tim Tebow's choice of college was between Alabama and his child-hood dream school, Florida. It wasn't easy for Tebow; crying and not knowing what to do. One day prior to the anouncement, Tebow spent twelve hours talking to then Tide coach Mike Shula. Urban Meyer thought he had no chance of getting Tebow to become a Gator.
Singing Day came, and coach Meyer refused to watch Tebow's nationally televised pick. Instead, he went outside to play catch with his son. His wife and two daughters went screaming outside to tell Meyer of the surprise pick. The QB from Nease High School officially became a Florida Gator.
In his freshmen year, Tebow became a goal line specialist and help the Gators win a national championship for the first time in a decade. Ever since, it has been a Heisman trophy, Maxwell's, four NCAA records, 12 SEC records and two dozen school records.
After four years, two Southeastern Conference championships, two national titles, and a chance to lead the program to its first perfect season, the top-ranked Gators may be ready to name him "The Greatest One."
The Miami Heat took on the Toronto Raptors on Friday night. Miami came in the game losing three out of four games and the Raptors having a record of 5-7. I personally thought it was going to be a competitive game, but the Heat would come on top at the end of the day. Things didn't turn out to be a W for the Heat, but another L in the lost column.
Toronto, coming into the game, was allowing 107.8 points per game and it showed why they are struggling in defense. Even with the defeat, the Heat managed to score 113 points against the Raptors, but it was Toronto who had the explosive offense that night. Despite Dwayne Wade and Mario Chalmers scoring 30 points each and the Heat cutting the lead to one with with less than 4 minutes left, the Raptors showed that they were not going to let Wade takeover the game.
Andrea Bargnani, who scored 24 points, hit a deadly three and backup point guard Jarret Jack scored 12 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter and made two important 3's to help stand Miami's comeback.
Raptors star forward, Chris Bosh, scored 29 points with 12 rebounds. Heat center Jermaine O'Neal finished 17 points and Michael Beasley had a solid 21 points.
UdonisHaslem and Quentin Richardson did not play and this may be a reason why the Heat are struggling after starting strong.
Chris Bosh is another star player who is a free agent after this season and for the past years, there have been rumors that Bosh might have a home in Miami after this season. Would that be enough for D.Wade to stay?
Who would have ever known that the Stanford Cardinals would be 7-3 (6-2 in the Pac -10) and most importantly, win back to back games versus top 10 teams.
Last week, the Cardinals won over a very strong Oregon team and on Saturday, Stanford destroyed #9 USC 55-21. It was the worst lost for a USC team in the Pete Carroll-Era.
QB Andrew Luck threw two touchdowns and ran for another, RB Toby Gerhart ran for 178 yds with 3 touchdowns and USC QB, Matt Barkley, was simply outplayed, throwing for 196 yds, 1 touchdown and 3 picks.
USC streaks of Pac-1o titles, Top 4 AP finishes, BCS Bowling, and 11 win seasons are now down the drain after this loss.
