The tall man in the pink (?) shirt would be Florida tight end Aaron Hernandez. Last time we saw him on a Saturday night, he had a nice game against the Hurricanes. Tebow and Verne Lundquist on a Saturday night? Rad.

Regarding that Notre Dame ending against UNC – did anyone else think the Irish WR was trying to lateral the ball while on his back? If you look at his wrist motion, it appears as if he was trying to toss the ball back to a teammate, knowing that it was the last play of the game and that was his only hope. We can’t tell if a teammate was even in the vicinity, but with one second left, you’ll blindly try anything.

You’re new top five, assuming UF, Missouri, and Penn State win: 1) Alabama, 2) Texas, 3) Missouri, 4) Penn State, 5) Texas Tech.

8:09 – Two LSU players are wearing No. 30. Verne called this “trickeration.” Strange word choice, but then again, Verne also called Tebow “emotional” earlier.

8:10 - Can someone please check FOX and provide baseball updates? Good thing we aren’t, TD Florida! Tipped pass to Harvin, and he took it the distance. 7-0 Gators, 98 seconds in.

8:12 - And every Ohio State player watching this game just said, ‘Wow Harvin looked faster than he did last year.”

8:15 - First TD allowed by LSU in the first quarter this year? No surprise, considering the jokers the Tigers have played. Saw a stat midway through the Auburn-Ark game: Auburn was leading 20-17, but was being outgained 385-90.

8:18 - Florida scores on its third play; LSU goes three-and-out. Awesome. This’ll be done quicker than the first Phillies-Dodgers game and I can fire up Scrabble against the wife.

8:19 - On a whim, checked out HBO. Gladiator is on. Can’t tell if I’ve missed, ‘are you not entertained?’ or not.

8:20 - On a whim, checked out TBS: Jason Bay just ripped a two-run double off the wall in left. 2-0 Boston. The crowd exploded there – it sounded like a home game for the Red Sox.

8:22 - Man, Harvin is just clownin’ people out there. Who does he remind me of … Peter Warrick? He was bad-ass back in the day for FSU.

8:25 - Florida offense is ballin’. In the red zone already. Oh, and CBS just showed Auburn lost to Arkansas. Those wacky computers are laughing – ultimately, that’s going to hurt Florida, because it lessens this soon-to-be win over LSU.

8:27 - Please stand up if you’re in the top five nationally in that ESPN pick’em game based on today’s results. (Stares at one person in the comments section.)

8:28 - 3rd and goal for the Gators. Not to go overboard … but a 14-0 deficit on the road with an inexperienced QB is sort of crucial for the Tigers.

8:29 - Tebow rushed/forced that. Looked like the receiver was yanked down … no call. Doubt he would have caught it. Phillips hits chip-shot FG, 10-0 Florida.

8:30 - Just switched it over to Okla State and Missouri. Cowboys inside the 10-yard line, midway through the first quarter. QB keeper … TD. 7-3 Oklahoma State over Missouri, trying to ruin next week’s battle of the Top 5 between Texas and Missouri.

8:33 – Another third and long for Lee. Danielson just talked about how 10-0 is not much of a deficit … uh, Gary, this is a completely difference offense.

8:34 - Another 3-and-out for LSU. Maybe James will take this to the house?

8:35 - He almost did. UF takes over around the LSU 40-yard-line.

8:35 - Did Missouri watch the Texas game and already start thinking about next week? Missouri just had its first three-and-out of the season.

8:38 - If this becomes 17-0, I’m totally bailing and watching that Missouri game. I keep switching over and seeing the OK State RB running wild. Matter of fact, he looks as big and fast as I thought UGa’s Moreno would have been this year.

8:40 - First-and-goal, Gators … and Tebow takes it to the one. Pops up with the Gator chomp. This one’s about to be over.

8:41 - Oh, denied! Tebow tried it inside, got jacked at the 2. 3rd and goal. Yes, we’re confident in saying if LSU allows a TD here, they will not recover from 17-0.

8:42 - Delay of game. darn. While just looking at Fantasy Football rosters … anyone know what’s up with LT this year? So glad I don’t have him on any teams. Such a bad start.

8:43 - Tebow to Harvin over the middle … TD. 17-0 Gators with 1:09 left in the first. Ballgame? Ballgame.

8:44 - Wife: “It’s hard to root against a nice guy who is God-fearing.” Should we show her the photo of Tebow and jugs?

8:47 - Lee completes a pass! For two years. LSU will probably get a field goal, at least, on this drive.

8:48 - Or not. Spikes picks off an errant Lee pass. Gators take over near midfield. Pass was late and inside. Danielson is ripping the route, but it doesn’t matter. UF can turn this into an Alabama-type ass-whipping on this drive …

8:51 - Does Chase Daniel really wear No. 25? Not sure how Missouri dodged a bullet, but OK State had it in their red zone, and now, they don’t.

8:53 - Loungin‘. Just had a college flashback to Saturday nights, college football, brews, pre-gaming, and music. Life was so damn fun. And easy.

8:55 - LSU in dire need of a stop on 3rd-and-10.

8:56 - Tebow with a perfect pass to Harvin … dropped. DB saved the Tigers by knocking it out of his hands. Why not go for it and the jugular here? Nah, might as well pin them deep.

8:59 - Harvard’s Andrew Hatch is now under center. He attempts the option … with modest success. Lee back in on 3rd and 4.

9:00 - And LSU has a first-down! Only took 16:55. Wow, make that two!

9:01 - Three first downs in a row for the Tigers. Perhaps they’re onto something with the alternating QBs? Chase Daniel has Missouri inside the 5-yard line. Got to figure if Chase wins, he’s the Heisman leader along with Colt McCoy. Don’t think we’ve heard the last from Bradford, though.

9:03 - Is it just me or does Charles Scott have a huge ass for an RB? Not that I make a habit of looking at guy’s asses. Ooops, LSU fumble, Florida recovers.

9:04 - Scott puts it on the grass, and with it, there went any Heisman hopes. Once it becomes 24-0, they’ll have to pass much, much more. No way he tops 100 tonight.

9:07 – Gators can’t convert another third down … another pass to Harvin, and the same DB (24) broke up the play. Harvin comes up gimpy. Maybe an ankle?

9:10 – Did anyone know “Hey man, nice shot” was about a guy who blew his head off?

9:13 - Scott loses his helmet, goes backward. Sorry, Garry, this isn’t a surprise. They have 8-man fronts for a reason. The QBs haven’t proven they can consistently pass downfield.

9:17 - This game is terribly boring. I’m actually reading this story … strange kid.

9:19 - Hatch tore up his knee in a soccer game in Chile? Random. Major Wright with a major hit … and LSU punts. BJ Upton homer, tied at 3.

9:22 - Florida is who we thought they were – smart, fast, and efficient. But the Gators have to leap so many teams to get into the title game, I’m just not sure if it’ll happen.

9:26 - If the Gators go up 24-0, I’m bailing for Scrabble. Live-blogging a blowout? Where’s the fun in that? Florida has all these smurfs just carving up the LSU defense. Just too much talent.

9:32 – FG for the Gators, 20-0.

9:35 - Minor catastrophe – after taking out my contacts, my lasses fell apart. Now, I’m looking for a tiny screwdriver to get the screw back in. Weak. Gosh I need lasik.

9:41 – Damn. LSU driving hard, nice little flip play there in the red zone, and they’re now inside the 10.

9:42 – TD, LSU! Lee to Mitchell in the corner trims the lead to 20-7.

9:55 – Oops. Forgot to mention it was halftime. UF 20, LSU 7. Keep an eye on Missour-OK State … that RB i said earlier looked like Knowshon Moreno just broke a massive TD run. Huge.

9:57 - Mark Jones just described that OK State as “laconic.” Nice usage. I’m playing scrabble with the wife (losing, but it’s early).

10:04 - Nice to see the bats have come alive in the ALCS, huh? Seven homers already, and we’re in the fifth inning.

10:16 - Not sure what’s more difficult – losing in Scrabble while getting crummy letters, or the feeling that LSU is a touchdown away from ruining my cover.

10:17 - Holliday vs. Bolt in the 200. Who wins?

10:19 - Hatch on the option … TD. Florida 20, LSU 14.

10:25 - Thoughts on the outdoor NBA game: Diaw is rockin’ the headband?, Shaq looks chubby, Barkley should call games all the time, and the new TNT scoreboard is rad.

10:32 – Tebow two-yard TD run makes it Florida 27, LSU 14. I suggest the NBA game on TNT – one of the Lopez brothers came in the game and instantly swatted two shots.

10:54 - Good news, bad news: Jeff Demps took an option pitch and scooted about 45 yards for a score; I lost scrabble, and Lee threw a pick-six to put this one out of reach. Florida 41, LSU 14.

10:58 – Tampa 8, Boston 6. Beckett clearly is not right, and I’d have to say at this moment, the Phillies probably have the best shot at winning the World Series. Of course, I still like the Dodgers in that series.

11:00- Missouri in trouble alert: down 4, at home, and Oklahoma State just pushed it to 11!!! What a TD pass, wait till you see the highlight. Was like a 35-yard bomb on 3rd and 12.

11:01 - So the new Top 5 probably will not include Missouri. Let’s see … Alabama, Texas, and after that, I’m not sure of the order but Penn State is in there, and who knows, maybe BYU? Texas Tech? A one-loss team?

11:08 – Chase Daniel is about to throw his 30th pass of the 2nd half. If he somehow rallies Missouri to a win, he will be the leader in the Heisman race. And there’s one score. 28-24, 4:27 left. OK State drilled Daniel on that one, took him awhile to get up. Actually, Mizz went for two and didn’t get it. So 28-23.

11:10 - Ha! Daniel has a mohawk. Dude looks spent, like me after running 3 miles.

11:13 - Huge 3rd down for OK State. Clock stopped after incompletion, and the Cowboys need 10. I’d run it to keep the clock moving, but that’s just me.

11:14 - Dump pass only nets them three. Missouri calls timeout, and it’ll have the ball back with about 2:35ish, needing to go a long way for the win.

11:15 – Talk about a choke. The OK State punter choked and there wasn’t even a rush! Mizz from its own 33 …

11:17 – You can’t rough the passer here, idiot. What a moron. Brutal hit, but beyond dumb. Mizz will rally to win.

11:18 - Chase throws a pick! Forced a bad pass! There goes the Heisman! There goes the unbeaten record! Third pick of the evening, and OK State takes over!!

11:30 – Missouri lost. So hope the Tigers can rally and beat Texas next week.
