Well that didn’t take long! The Florida Gators and BYU Cougars were the first two teams to hit the court in the NCAA Tourney, which started today … and it didn’t end well for the Florida Gators, who were knocked out in a double overtime loss by a score of 99-92. The Gators were down by as many as 13 points in the second half, but rallied back and actually had the lead with 41 seconds left – but BYU tied it up to force overtime.

Tonight’s SEC Championship Game was very tough to watch for Gator fans. The Alabama Crimson Tide beat up on the Gators like I’ve never seen before. From the first series of the game, Bama was in control and nothing the Gators did could counter their great play on offense and defense. The Gators got the game close going into half time, but ultimately the game got out of hand in the second half. Once Florida had to punt on the opening series of the second half, I think most Gator fans got that sick feeling in their stomach. The final score was 32-13, Alabama.

The No. 1 Florida Gators wasted no time running up the score against the FIU Panthers on Saturday afternoon. The score was 35-3 at halftimes and 62-3 at the end of the game. The Gators improved their record to 11-0 and maintained their No. 1 BCS ranking. The Gators offense had struggled to put up a lot points during SEC play, so it was nice to see them final score a lot of touchdowns. Yes, FIU is a weaker opponent but the Gator offense looked in syncand explosive.

The Florida International Panthers are headed to Gainesville, FL tomorrow afternoon for a battle with the undefeated No. 1 ranked Florida Gators. This will be the first time these two teams have ever played. The Game is scheduled for 12:30 PM EST and will be aired only on Pay Per View. I suggest you either find a ticket for the game or drive to your nearest sports bar. I hate when games are on PPV but it’s a necessary evil Gator fans have to deal with at least once a year.

The No. 1 Florida Gators defeated the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday night by a final score of 24-14. The Gamecocks were able to keep the game close until the start of the fourth quarter when Tim Tebow rushed for his 53rd career touchdown – tying him with Kevin Faulk for the all-time SEC record for most touchdowns. The Gators are now 10-0 on the season and went undefeated in the SEC for the first time since Steve Spurrier’s 1996 championship team.
The Gator defense stepped up big in this game. …
