My big play last week Wash St +3/12 won in OT with Wash St on the foot line with 3 seconds left in regulation, I was hoping they would go for the win instead of kicking the tying FG
Lean toward Florida, as a Gator fan I am very upset the way the coaching change has worked out. i wish urban well at OSU and will root for him, but I am not happt with foley hiring another assistant coach in Muschamp , last year.He did the same thing with Zook, when spurrier left
With all the great coaches out there, like Petersen at boise, or kelly at Oregon, his first choice was muschamp. As I said when he hired Zook , I hope I am wrong, but so far Muschamp looks very flustered
A win against FSU and a bowl win, would be a big step forward

Since the
leagues merged almost 45 years ago no team had overcome a 15-0 deficit with
less than 3 minutes left
Denver had
never won before in Miami ( 0-7) and that includes Elway !
After the
game I returned to the Dolphins express bus and 3 guys from Canada , who I had
just met, earlier in the day are sitting there, and asked me what happened.
With about 5 minutes left they had gone looking for a beer and a TV to watch.
They found out that they stop selling beer and there was no TV, so they went
back to the bus, and I explained what happened !
The crowd
was a mixture of Fins fans, some rooting for Tebow,Bronco fans, Gator fans, and
Tebow fans. I was there with my Tebow Bronco jersey and gator hat, and for
almost 3 hours watched one of the most boring games I had ever seen. For 58
minutes they only let him throw a handful of times, never over the
middle, and knowing the bus wouldn’t leave until the game was over I sat there.
Then all of a sudden I am a grown man screaming like an idiot and all the Tebow
fans are high fiving and it turned into some kind of happening. Bronco
receivers are making incredible catches, the first TD is reviewed and upheld.
Then there is another diving catch at the 3 yard line, reviewed and upheld, Did
I mention a recovered on side kick. Then a screen pass for a TD and it is 15-13
and Miami calls time to set up their defense. Tebow runs a QB draw and the game
is tied with 17 seconds left. Miami takes a knee, why not, and the game goes
into OT. Moore is stripped of the ball and the Broncos take over in Miami
territory. They are on the fins 40 and that would mean about a 56 yard FG. Do
they try to move the ball?, No they run into the middle 3 times and Prater who has
missed his first 2 FGA trots out to try a 52 yarder. He bangs it home with
about 15 yards to spare, and I feel like I have witnessed a miracle, It was
something like the Redford flick, “The Natural” only that was Hollywood !
I was at
the South Carolina game in 2006 ( against the Ole ball coach) when the gators
blocked a FG, at the buzzer to preserve a 17-16 win. I was sitting right behind
the gator bench, and a sense of calm came over me as they were attempting the
kick, and I just felt they would miss , and they blocked the kick and went on
to win the National championship. But that was nothing like this last few
minutes.
Timmy has
done it again. What can you say about this fine young man , with a heart of
Gold, Maybe Redford was watching !

One of my
pet peeves is AD at major colleges hiring an assistant coach . Look at the last
4 coaches at Florida.
1-
Steve
Spurrier - Coached pro football, then turned a terrible program
around at Duke, then he became a legend at Florida ( Wins a national
championship )
2-
Urban
meyer 2 years at Bowling Green , 2 years at Utah ( an undefeated
season ) then becomes a legend at Florida and wins 2 National Championships
Both worked their way up with success at small
college programs
3-Ron Zook never a success as an
assistant but is given the Florida job as his first head coaching
gig 3 years and out
4-Will
Muschamp the coach in waiting at texas , is given the Head coaching
job at Florida, it is too early to tell yet, but from what I see, he could be
another Zook. If you watch him on the sidelines he looks completely out of
control
The first 2
worked their way up in small college programs, as head coaches, and then were
given the big time job. The last 2 were given the Florida job without proving
they could succeed at a small school
If you look
at the 3 major Florida schools only Al Golden, at Miami worked his way up and
turned a horrible program around at Temple ! Fisher at FSU and muschamp
at florida walked right into the plumb job.
There are
exceptions , like Bob Stoops, who helped Spurrier win a National Championship
and has been a huge success at Oklahoma, Won a national championship, but I
feel for every Stoops there are tons of assistants who fall on their faces,
when given a major college program, as their first head coaching job !
