Not news: Urban Meyer denying that he wants to be the coach at Notre Dame. News: Meyer continuing to put his quarterback's name out there as a potential coach at some point, especially with Tim Tebow's tacit agreement. "He actually always gives me a hard time about that, saying one day how I'm going to be in his seat and coaching here," Tebow said. "I don't know. That's something that...

Mondays are normally loaded in my SN column -- today feels even more loaded than usual . Let me walk you through with the usual "DVD extra" commentary: *Forget "Fire Charlie Weis." Who ISN'T saying that? My point is: Fire him TODAY. Waiting a week layers on the humiliation -- and not just for Weis. *Just when you think an NFL week seems fairly staid on paper, things go crazy: What...
I think we need to appreciate the level of schadenfreude in effect right now about Notre Dame and Charlie Weis. Aside from ND fans, who wasn't cheering last night when UConn won at ND ? Because, any day now -- literally, at this point (probably 7 days) -- Weis will be fired and Notre Dame will hire Brian Kelly and Notre Dame will go back to being pretty good. For now, they are not good -- and that...

Tim Tebow, Florida: In a tight one against South Carolina, the Gators' senior quarterback got his 53rd career touchdown to tie the SEC record held by Kevin Faulk (1995-98). Tebow finished with 199 yards passing (14-of-25) and 26 yards rushing in the No. 1 Gators' 24-14 victory over the Gamecocks.
COLUMBIA, S.C. — As he watched South Carolina inch closer to a go-ahead score early in the fourth quarter, Florida coach Urban Meyer knew it was time for one of his Gators to make a play. Defensive end Justin Trattou was more than ready. Trattou made a game-changing interception and No. 1 Florida finished a perfect regular season in the Southeastern Conference with a 24-14 victory over South...
by Keith Srakocic - AP View full size photo » 1. Pitt hasn't really played anybody yet. They've played teams that aren't bad - Rutgers, South Florida, NC State, Connecticut, NAVY - but there isn't one that makes you nod in appreciation of their great work. To their credit, they take care of business against the bad teams, but Sagarin has them with the 70 th ranked schedule in the nation. For...
Bee Sports Editor/Opinion 49ers' future QB is playing on Saturdays The view from section LR19, Row 3 at Candlestick Park on Sunday did nothing to dissuade me from my prior thoughts on the 49ers' quarterback situation. The answer is in next April's NFL draft. That is obvious after watching Alex Smith from the end zone behind him. He zeroed in early on receivers. He didn't check off enough to his secondary...
Pompei: Tim Tebow is a “physical freak” who has dominated college football, but will that success translate to the NFL? The Florida QB doesn’t fit the mold of any other player, so any team that drafts him will be taking a gamble. But it might just pay off.
by David Whitley Filed under: College Sports A big battle last week in college football was over an eye gouge and whether Tim Tebow was the victim of a late hit. You'll forgive Bob Chappuis for not getting all caught up in it. About 65 years ago, he was Tim Tebow. Only he spent his junior season trying to evade German patrols, not Georgia linebackers. Let's Pause to Celebrate a Man of Action originally...
If Cincinnati QB Tony Pike had enough attempts to qualify for the NCAA's passer efficiency ratings he would slot in ninth, about a point behind a guy named Tim Tebow. That's rarefied air—hey, I know, let's move him to defense! maybe pike can play defense? 10:53 PM Nov 7th from API Sarcastic or not, that's a tweet from Cincinnati-area radio guy Lance McAlister in the late chaos of the Cincinnati-UConn...
