The Agony of Defeat

Win 12 games in a row, and somehow losing Game 13 seems to hurt far worse. Alabama lost the SEC championship game to Florida, 31-20. The Crimson Tide led 20-17 going into the fourth quarter. But Gator QB Tim Tebow then led Florida on a six-minute, 11-play drive that put Florida ahead 24-20 and followed with a five-minute drive to make the lead 31-20 with less than three minutes to play. Oh, the heartbreak of being 12-1!

I feel your pain. I was hoping that 2009 would resemble 1993 to blunt the horror of another media hyped democrat in the WH but an Alabama National Championship. But alas that will not be the case.

I'm thrilled with the result, though I understand the heartbreak Alabama's coaches, team & fans are feeling today - we've been there at UF.

Alabama is a heck of a team. Fortunately, the Gators had Tebow & the Tide didn't.
