No apologies required, IA: Well said... TEBOW!
(This is the best fun the NFL has been in YEARS! And let's add one more thing, Gators, something we've been too "big" to dwell on up 'til now: "WE TOLD Y'ALL SO!!!"
So, yeah: TEBOW!)

Going to see him play at Ralph Stadium in a little over week. Go Tebow!!!!!
Isn't Buffalo pretty far from Ohio?

About 5.5 hours away but well worth it this time of year. Nothing like late-December early-January football in the northeast for some NFL Films-esque weather. I hope we get some snow going next weekend. I like roadtripping for football games, especially bowl games.

You're a writer? Must specialise in "stream of consciousness" stuff.
Just bugging you, dude.I had predicted a Broncos loss, actually. I can't be faulted for it, I don't think, even though I was hoping (for a rare time) that I would be wrong. But I should have known better. Seriously...
A Packers - Tebow Superbowl would make me so immensely happy.

)If only "stream of consciousness" PAID well--I'd be stylin'! No, I've long since had to learn how to be self-disciplined in organizing my thoughts--I'm REAL big on outlines...I thank my time at UF for giving me that foundation: to do well at college, to score a high GPA right across-the-board, you've GOT to learn to organize your thoughts, your time, and your ability to execute under a deadline. In the military I guess I learned how to prioritize properly: College sure as hell wasn't "pressure", not after making decisions under fire. I partied HARD as an undergrad, yet carried a 4.0 right until the very last elective I had to pick up in the summer of my senior year in order to graduate--and got a B+ (they had plusses and minuses at UF then; I don't know if they still do) in "Intro to Astronomy", for G's sake, right at the end...learned a lesson THERE too, something about not letting up even a LITTLE at the finish, not if it means anything to you (and if it doesn't, you'll blow it fer sure ANYWAY...)
That kind of self-discipline serves me well in scriptwriting, editing and producing films and teleplays, which has been a big part of my professional life...However, strangely enough, I'm finding I have to UNlearn some of that, return to a more stream-of-consciousness approach in order to write fiction, as I am now preparing to (finally) do--and trust my editing skills to "sculpt" something meaningful later from that "raw material". A whole different process, I'm finding.
As for this game (sorry--the main reason we're here, after all--NOT for me to go on about ME--not that THAT stopped me, obviously), I THOUGHT that Tebow might raise his play and that of everyone around him in his inimitable way--but I was mainly just hoping he'd help them make a game of it...and by late in the 4th qrtr, after McGahee had fumbled and Rothlisburger was driving them down the field, I thought that the rest of that team was well on its way to wasting that fine effort, after all the missed opportunities by both player miscues and coaches' calls (I'm still not sure what happened on that CLEAR "backwards pass"/lateral that Fox "declined to challenge": was it because they ruled it already dead-due-to-blown-whistle once it hit the ground and COULDN'T be challenged, or did Fox just get poor information from upstairs?--'cause that SHOULD have been Bronco-ball in the redzone...the McGahee fumble as they're driving into winning FG-range late in the 4th...then there was that missed INT by the otherwise-stellar Champ Bailey on the play right before the tying TD...), but it seems in retrospect that "everything happened just the way it OUGHT to have" for that surreal-in-its-perfect-stunning-glory-FINISH IN OVERTIME, right?
What do guys think? One more Tebow moment today?
Who knows? But, like every OTHER Gator, no matter WHAT their usual rooting interests, I'm sure pulling for him today.
Of all the team/coach/quarterback combinations that he could have had to face in this situation, only this one appears to embody that "Ultimate Challenge", the fitting hill-to-climb that the Hero inevitably must test himself against.
Certainly the media make this out to be "Tebow against the Patriots/Belichek/Brady"; it used to be just the haters who "stacked the deck", "rigged the game"--it was Tebow alone against the competition if they lost, and everyone ELSE on the Broncos when they won. Now it's everyone save US, it seems.
I have that same "Look out, Tim!"-feeling I've had before a number of these unlikely must-win-or-forget-it, 'bout-to-turn-into-a-pumpkin games--and they've somehow pulled them out, so again, who knows? Logic, experience, and cold comparison all say this is it, it goes no further: talent and coaching will finally win out over good fortune--but what ABOUT that "good fortune"? What else, if anything, is going on there? Whatever it is, it sure has been a whole lot of wondrous, thrilling FUN!
There are a LOT of us out here who are riding that wave right along with #15 and the Broncos...maybe it all DOES end, come crashing back to Earth today: the world will be a little grayer, a little less interesting for it. I'm certainly not looking FORWARD to its seeming inevitability. Only the bitter and the hateful will feel better, be relieved at its loss. I never expected a Super Bowl appearance (let alone WIN) for TT and his essentially patchwork and suddenly-more-than-mediocre Broncos; perhaps everything after last week's heroics will be anticlimax...but at least they are offered a worthy challenge here, something that once again, no one believes they can overcome. Most of the football world thinks that order is about to be restored. Count me among those pulling for another week of Chaos.

This may be a premature postscript, but with less than 6 minutes gone in the game itself, the Bronco defense did NOTHING to stop the Pats in their first possession, a march straight down the field for 7, and now the Denver O-line appears ineffective.
There it is--bang-and-strip, Tebow loses the ball and NE has it. If he gets no protection, there's no hope to even keep it close here, not the way their "D" has thus far failed to show. This could turn out to be that "Told-you-so"-game the haters have been waiting for with barely-contained glee for so long...

This was not the Tebow moment I was referring to. 231 days until I care about football again.
Brady Quinn warming up on the sideline. Maybe he can score 35 points in 20 minutes.
THAT many days until Game 1 of the Gators' 2012 season? Let's see, 7 months, plus mumble mumble mumble--yep, that's right...'Course, there'll be some significant "signposts" along the way BEFORE then, Signing Day, Orange and Blue Game, and any other news and/or developments that may signal progress or setback on our road to eventual greatness.
As for THIS enormous let-down, at least it is a team-wide affair. There were signs of this sort of across-the-board melt-down in each of those 3-straight in that end-of-season dive, only as usual it was covered as somehow all about Tebow. They may do that again this time too, but if the Bronco coaches and management play it that way, it'll only be because in truth they still want an excuse to jettison him after all: as important as TT was/is to this team's chemistry and ability to collectively raise their performance, to be more than the-sum-of-their-parts, it is CLEARLY a mutual-feedback-loop--that is, they feed and feed OFF of EACH OTHER. When any portion of that breaks down, in EITHER direction, things can "go south" in a hurry--and against a talented team ITSELF playing within its comfort zone, well, you can see the results here.
(sigh) Back to the future, as they say: we've got a heck of a recruiting class developing, right when we HAD to have it, and its dominant make-up is itself both practical and interesting. It appears this staff of first-rate recruiters (starting with the Head Coach--an ACE in that area, it's more and more apparent) has us now in position to spend the best part of their time in the remaining weeks going after a handful of 5-star playmakers who can be "the icing on the cake", make this more than just a great recruiting class, but a great TEAM, for seasons to come.
Here's hoping they throw us a bone or two this year, the coaching staff, maybe let us see a little bit behind-the-scenes, allow a crew in to shoot some footage here and there in practice, ask a few questions on the field--even under tight control for an hour or two each week, it'd be so much less frustrating, so much MORE effective in building the kind of mutual trust and patience among a team and its fans that makes a program one that young players want to come in and play for, once they experience it.
