Afternoon Games: Spark Notes

The SEC Championship game will be the focal point, but there will be other games to keep an eye on.

> Tyrone Willingham's last game is today as Washington takes on Cal. And they suck. Cal's first possession and Jahvid Best ran for a 60 yard touchdown.
> Update: Tulsa made it interesting by tying the game with 4:00 left to play. But East Carolina drove down the field and kicked a game winning field goal.
> The Wiz of Odds, has a great read about Texas Tech coach Mike Leach and his contract situation.
> Well with Florida-Alabama about ready to kick off, it is being reported that Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin is "very doubtful" for today's game. He has a right ankle sprain.

This will definitely hurt Florida's chances today.

Update: Well that was easy, Florida drove right down the field on Alabama and scored. 7-0 with 8:17 left in the 1ST quarter. I am already second guessing my prediction.
Wow, Alabama struck back. JPW hit Julio Jones for a 60 yard pass completion. Then Glen Coffee ran it in for a touchdown. 7-7 with 7:23 left in the second quarter.

> This game can't be a offensive showcase can it? We will see if the defenses can stop each other.

> Well I jinxed the game. Alabama forced Florida into a 3 and out.

Update: 31-0 Cal over Washington and Virginia Tech is heading to the Orange Bowl.

10-7 Alabama, the special teams for Alabama made this score happen. Let's see if Tebow and Florida can respond.

> The Alabama defense has showed up. They might have let Florida drive on them and score on the first possession but since then Florida has had to punt the ball twice.

End of 1St quarter, Alabama 10 Florida 7, with the Crimson Tide driving on Florida again.

> Cal running back Jahvid Best is putting on a show. He has rushed for 269 yards and 4 touchdowns against Washington. And yes, Washington is that bad, I can see why Tyrone Willingham will no longer be the coach there.

We are tied at 10 in the SEC championship game. Tebow finally looked like himself on that drive, but they couldn't get 6.

> Tyrone Willingham will go out in style, Cal 45 Washington 0, the Huskies look like they are ready for a new coach.

> 17-10 Florida, Tebow hit David Nelson for the TD. The Alabama defense looks like it is starting to break down. And I don't know if JPW can keep the Crimson Tide in the game.

Upset Alert: Michigan just upset Duke 81-73 in college basketball. Michigan in basketball has now beat UCLA and Duke in about a 3 week span.

Halftime: 17 Florida 10 Alabama, the Crimson Tide need to get the offense going again or they will get boat raced in the 2ND half.

>Cal is thumping Washington, and USC is not helping their cause by beating UCLA 14-7 so far. It's a shame that USC won't get a chance to play for the title this year, because their defense is outstanding.

The second half of the SEC championship game, has begun with an interesting interview with Nick Saban. It seemed like the Nicktator drank too much coffee in the locker room.

> Alabama finally stopped the Florida offense, but has the ball deep in their own zone.

17-17, Alabama went on a 15 play 91 yard touchdown drive. Just what the doctor ordered.

Well, Tyrone Willingham went out in style, with a 48-7 loss. Cal running back Jahvid Best finished the day with 311 yards and 4 touchdowns. At least we got a winless team in college football.

Still 17-17 after a miss field goal by Florida. Tebow had a guy open for a touchdown but threw the ball incomplete. Now Alabama gets their chance to put up some points.

20-17 Alabama, they completely dominated Florida in this quarter. The gators will need a big 4TH quarter from Tebow and some long drives, because right now Alabama is winning the ball control battle right now.

Florida strikes back, 24-20 with 9:21 left in the game. Florida did what they needed to do and went on a long drive. My guess, whoever has the ball last will win the game.

> The Florida defense got to Alabama and now they are forced to punt. Their defense will need a quick stop to stay in the game.

> Florida is driving for a score. They can pretty much end the game here.

Florida 31-20 and the game is pretty much over. They can start packing their bags for Miami.

Interception!, Alabama just gave it back to Florida.

See you for the night games.
