The first big SEC East showdown occurs in Week 4. No. 16 Florida travels to Knoxville to play rival No. 12 Tennessee. Both teams are undefeated with 3-0 records.
The Gators looked like they finally found a solid quarterback this year. They’ve struggled at the position since Tim Tebow exhausted all of his eligibility in 2009. Luke Del Rio has passed for 762 yards, completing 61% of his passes for 6 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.

Last week, on a flight from Miami to Asheville, my Dad happened to be seated next to two Hurricanes fans who were traveling to North Carolina to watch their team take on Appalachian State.
Both of the passengers were former professors from the university (the wife was the former head of one of the academic departments) and they were avid fans of all Miami athletics. At some point during the hour and a half flight home the comment was made “Well, Georgia’s loss is certainly our gain.”

Tim Tebow announcing his intent to play Major League Baseball seemed like a joke at first. Then actual Major League Baseball teams went along with it. Almost all of them showed up to watch him display his talents.
Then one actually signed him. Tim Tebow is now a professional baseball player. It still seems like kind of a joke.

I never thought I would see the day when a visiting team would head to Chris Gilman Stadium in Kingsland, the home of the Camden County Wildcats, and bring more fans than there were in the home stands.
That was the case Friday night when Glynn Academy took the trip and the sea of red filled the visitors section, while on the home side you could not help but notice all the empty seats.
