Florida Gators vs Troy Trojans

#1 Florida Gators vs Troy Trojans
Saturday 9:20 AM PST

Howdy Gators:

Hope everyone enjoyed the massacre last weekend. I was unfortunately not able to see the game because I was away in Victoria, BC (Canadians don't appear to share our passion for college football; the only football game I could find on TV was the epic Montreal Alouettes vs. Winnpeg Blue Bombers game). However, I saw the highlights and perused the sports pages, and it appears we were flawless against the hapless Buccaneers. I only have one question though: who was responsible for allowing Chaleston to score three points! I can only assume that someone on the Gator squad ran laps after that defensive meltdown.

I kid of course. Florida truly did validate the consenus opinon that they are the top team in the nation with their lopsided wolloping of Charleston Southern. There's little doubt that the score would have been far more humilating had the Gators elected to play their starters for more than the first half (perhaps NCAA officials should consider a "mercy rule" in the wake of the Florida victory). While fun to watch, I think we all know that games such as last weekend's, against a ridiculously outmatched opponent, are not really an accurate barometer of where the 2009 team stacks up. Yes, odds are we are very good, but we will not know for certain until we face more formidable competition. And I suspect (correction: "I know") the upcoming matchup this weekend will do little to clarify the true nature of the Gators....

Come on out early Saturday morning and watch Florida match up against the Troy Trojans. It's sure to be another laugher and should give the Gators a chance to further fine-tune their "banzai offense" (that's what they call the new no-huddle approach) before they kick off SEC action against the oh-so-hated Vols. But tune in early if you want to see the starters play, as I am sure Tebow and company won't be in the game for more than three quarters.

Go Gators,

Courtney
