Florida Wins Title; Tebow Can Do No Wrong

Yawn.

So much for an exciting National Championship game.

Florida defeated Oklahoma 24-14 on Thursday night, ending the 2008 college football season with a disputed champion in the Gators.

And before the clock could hit 0:00, the Tim Tebow love slurp fest by the media was already in full force.

Tebow is officially the Tyler Hansbrough of college football.

And unless he declares for the NFL Draft, which is unlikely, get ready for another 12 months of hearing about how much heart and determination #15 has.

Strong: White Wife Cost Me Coaching Job

On the eve of the National Championship in college football, Florida defensive coordinator Charlie Strong has openly come out and discussed he hasn’t had an opportunity to serve as a head coach at a college program.

Strong’s theory – his white wife.

“Everybody always said I didn’t get that job because my wife is white. If you think about it, a coach is standing up there representing the university. If you’re not strong enough to look through that (interracial marriage) then you have an issue.”

Turner Gill, head coach of Buffalo, is also married to a white woman and the rumor is it might have been a factor when Auburn was interviewing for their head coach opening.

Is a white wife really the kiss of death?

Even in 2009, with a President taking office in less than two weeks who is a product of a bi-racial relationship, are we really still hung up over color?
