Cincinnati Gators

Tim Tebow scored the highest marks out of all participating quarterbacks in the vertical jump, 3 cone drill, 20 yard shuttle, and 60 yard shuttle. He finished second in the broad jump and fourth out of eight in the 40-yard dash with a not-too-shabby time of 4.72 seconds. See the detailed results on NFL.COM.

The dismantling of a legend is in full force. These days, it is easy to wonder if Tim Tebow ever played football at all.

Listen, and you will hear about the long, loopy flaw in his delivery. Read, and you will find those who question his feet, his arm and his ability to read an opposing defense. Pay attention, and you will find those who think any NFL team interested in drafting Tebow is wasting its time.

Then there is Sam Wyche, who suggests the critics should worry more about their accuracy than Tebow's.

"If this guy can't be a starting quarterback in the NFL," said Wyche, a former Bucs coach, "then I was in the wrong profession for a lot of years."

The Gators kick ass on National signing day...

Florida may have lost in the SEC title game and coach Urban Meyer may be taking a leave of absence, but nothing has slowed the Gators on national letter-of-intent signing day.

Defensive end Ronald Powell of Moreno Valley, Calif, the nation's top-ranked recruit in the ESPNU 150, signed his letter of intent on Wednesday. The Gators also have signed the top defensive tackle in the class, Dominique Easley of Staten Island, N.Y. (No. 3 in the rankings), and the top safety, Jonathan Dowling of Bradenton, Fla. (No. 10 in the rankings).

According to Gator Clause at the Miami Herald blog, Urban has decided not to take a leave of absence and will join the team in the spring. This should help recruiting!

Urban Meyer said on Saturday night at the basketball game that he's not taking a leave of absence and plans to coach the Gators during spring football. Here's what I want to know: Did anything really change over the last month? AND, was it any coincedence that Meyer dropped this news bombshell on the weekend super recruit Ronald Powell visited Gainesville?

Tim Tebow's illustrious career on the collegiate football field is over. The former Florida quarterback's penchant for carrying a lightning rod off the field isn't.

According to a report on the Orlando Sentinel's website, Tebow will appear in a 30-second commercial that will run during this year's Super Bowl. And it won't be for Tostitos or Pepsi or Geico.

Rather, it will be on behalf of the pro-life group Focus on the Family. (Uh-oh, I can hear the keyboards pounding even before I'm finished typing this post.)

WR standout Chris Dunkley has reportedly committed to the Gators.

SOURCE: GATORSPORTSNATION.COM

Chris Dunkley, has made his decision. Luckily for Gator Nation, we will be seeing a lot more of this young kid. The 5′11 Wide Receiver has chosen to attend the University of Florida. After he chose the hat, he quickly broke out in the famous “chomping” motion, which only made me more happy to have him on our team. Dunkley is the #2 WR in ESPNU’s top 150, and he will bring a playing style similar to that of former Gator, Percy Harvin.

Dunkley now joins the #1 recruiting class in the nation, and will help make up for the loss of Matt Elam. Florida has had a HUGE day at the Under Armour All American game. Dunkley’s verbal commitment is major news, and Defensive End Dominique Easley’s decision to join Florida was really shocking, but so big for the future of Florida. Besides the two commitments, Florida has had a lot of their recruits perform very well in the game.

The Gators had a relatively easy time of it in the Sugar Bowl showing once again the dominance that the SEC generally has over non-conference opponents. Congratulations still goes to the Bearcats for their undefeated regular season.

I'd like another shot at Bama!

The Gator football team became the first program in FBS college football history to notch 13 wins in consecutive seasons with a 51-24 victory over previously unbeaten Cincinnati at the Louisiana Superdome in the 76th Annual Sugar Bowl on Friday night. UF finished 13-1 for the third time in four seasons, also the first time in FBS college football history that this has happened.
