Tebow, Gators make it look easy in Sugar Bowl

NEW ORLEANS (AP)—Tim Tebow and coach Urban Meyer stood together in one corner of the Louisiana Superdome, sang the school fight song and then offered a final gesture.

Tebow took off on a victory lap. Meyer saluted the Florida fans.

It was Tebow’s way of saying goodbye. It may have been Meyer’s, too.

Tebow rose above all the distractions caused by Meyer’s uncertain future and capped a storied college career with his finest performance. It was the best in BCS history, too.

ADVERTISEMENT

Tebow threw for a career-high 482 yards and three touchdowns, ran for 51 yards and another score, and fifth-ranked Florida overwhelmed No. 4 Cincinnati 51-24 Friday night in the Sugar Bowl.

For Tebow and the Gators (13-1), this certainly was The Big Easy.

“It was incredible,” Tebow said. “Just a great game. It was exactly how you want to go out with these seniors and these coaches in your last game and your last time together. It just really doesn’t get any better than this.”

Florida’s most anticipated season ever ended in New Orleans instead of Pasadena. It came against Cincinnati (12-1) instead of Texas. It was about redemption instead of perfection.

None of that mattered when the Gators took the field.

Tebow wouldn’t let it.

“This has been the best four years of life,” the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner said.

He completed his first 12 passes, led the Gators to scores on their first five possessions and finished with 533 total yards—more than anyone in Bowl Championship Series history. He topped former Texas star Vince Young’s record of 467 yards set against Southern California in the 2005 Rose Bowl.

“They couldn’t stop Superman,” Gators guard Carl Johnson. “They needed some kryptonite.”

The Bearcats lost their bid for a perfect season and surely will spend the next year listening to questions about whether they belong in the big games against the biggest boys.

Florida, meanwhile, became the first school in the Football Bowl Subdivision to win 13 games in consecutive seasons.

Tebow and his teammates had hoped to repeat as national champions, but a 32-13 loss to Alabama in the Southeastern Conference title game knocked them out of the title picture.

“We tried to show coach where we should have been,” Johnson said. “We had to make a statement game, not only for us, but for coach Meyer. We had a bad game at a crucial moment, but we’re still Florida, we’re still here and we ain’t going nowhere.”

The Gators spent the last four weeks regrouping from the disheartening loss.

Things got worse when Meyer announced his resignation last Saturday, three weeks after being rushed to the hospital because of chest pain. Meyer changed his mind the following day, and instead said he would take an indefinite leave of absence.

No one knows how long he will be away or whether he will return at all.

“I plan on being the coach of the Gators,” Meyer said. “I know I’m anxious to get home. We’ll address the future at the appropriate time.”

His wife, Shelley, said she had no idea what will happen.

“We just need to take a step back and think and relax and we’ll see what happens from here,” she said. “But this couldn’t have ended better right now, right here. This couldn’t have been a better day ever.”

Meyer didn’t look like his fiery self against his alma mater. Then again, Tebow & Co. made this a stress-free game for every Gator.

Cincinnati stacked the line of scrimmage, essentially forcing Tebow to beat them through the air. That worked for the Crimson Tide. It backfired for the Bearcats.

The bulky left-hander had all kinds of time to pass and picked apart Cincinnati’s sketchy defense. He nearly had a career game in the first half alone. He completed 20 of 23 passes for 320 yards and three touchdowns, 18 yards shy of his previous career high.

He found Aaron Hernandez for a 7-yard score to cap Florida’s first possession, hooked up with Deonte Thompson on a perfectly thrown ball to the corner of the end zone in the second quarter and then dropped a deep ball into roommate Riley Cooper’s hands for an 80-yarder. That was longest completion of Tebow’s career.

The Gators pushed the lead to 30-3 early in the third quarter and cruised the rest of the way.

“I didn’t see this coming,” said Tebow, who stayed in the game until there was about 3 minutes to play. “But I knew we had a great game plan.”

Tebow completed 31 of 35 passes and finished with a 35-6 record in three years as a starter. Cooper had seven catches for 181 yards. Hernandez added nine receptions for 111 yards.

Florida clearly had something to prove after getting thumped in Atlanta, and Cincinnati ended up on the receiving end. The Bearcats were playing in their second straight BCS game, but this one was even more lopsided than last year’s 20-7 loss to Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. Quarterback Tony Pike got much of the blame for that one after throwing four interceptions.

Former coach Brian Kelly could get charged with this one.

Kelly bailed on the Bearcats in early December, leaving behind a lame-duck staff and plenty of angry players. The players spent a few days spewing over Kelly’s decision, then insisted they understood he made a business decision. The coaches, meanwhile, spent the last three weeks searching for jobs and trying to keep the team focused despite a huge distraction.

“It doesn’t help, you know?” interim coach Jeff Quinn said. “It’s never easy to have coaching changes right before your season ends. It’s hard to do. You go through this thing all together. And it’s just like a player not being there that’s a key guy.”

Without Kelly, who called plays all season, the offense suffered.

“It’s never easy to go through a loss, especially one like this,” said Pike, who completed 27 of 45 passes for 170 yards and three touchdowns.

Florida finished with a Sugar Bowl-record 659 yards, and the last celebration for the most successful senior class in SEC history came on the Sugar Bowl logo.

“Guys were anxious to get it done,” linebacker Brandon Spikes said. “That game in Atlanta hurt. I told the guys we would get another opportunity to play like we know how to play, and I think we did that today.”

Montana 3rd State To Allow Doctor-Assisted Suicide

The Montana Supreme Court said Thursday that nothing in state law prevents patients from seeking physician-assisted suicide, making Montana the third state that will allow the procedure.

Patients and doctors had been waiting for the state's high court to step in after a lower court decided a year ago that constitutional rights to privacy and dignity protect the right to die.

The Montana Supreme Court opinion will now give doctors in the state the freedom to prescribe the necessary drugs to mentally competent, terminally ill patients without fear of being prosecuted, advocates said.

Steve Johnson, a 72-year-old Helena cancer patient, welcomed the decision, saying he has talked with his doctor about ending his life.

"I am very concerned about the intense pain and loss of dignity," the lifelong rancher and veterinarian said at a press conference at the Capitol. "I've accepted my death. I approach the end of my life with a clear mind."

The Supreme Court didn't go as far as District Judge Dorothy McCarter of Helena did last December when she extended constitutional protections to the procedure.

The Supreme Court decided not to determine whether the Montana Constitution guarantees the right. Instead, it said nothing in state law or the court's precedent indicated it was against public policy — and pointed to laws giving patients rights to make crucial decisions as a justification for legalizing the assistance.

"The Montana Supreme Court has determined that this is a choice that state law entrusts to Montana patients, not to the government," said Compassion & Choices Legal Director Kathryn Tucker, a lawyer on the case. "Montanans trapped in an unbearable dying process deserve, and will now have, this end-of-life choice."

Oregon and Washington state allow assisted suicides for terminally ill patients, with Oregon adopting the nation's first "death with dignity" law in 1997. Tucker said Montana doctors should now feel comfortable adopting procedures that doctors in the other two states use.

The Montana ruling came in the case Compassion & Choices filed on behalf of Robert Baxter of Billings and four physicians. Baxter, who was diagnosed with leukemia 12 years ago, died of lymphoma Dec. 5, 2008 — the day McCarter issued her ruling.

The Montana attorney general's office, which had argued in court that the decision on such a policy should be left to the Legislature, said Thursday that the opinion shows that the issue still needs to be resolved by lawmakers.

The conservative Montana Family Foundation bemoaned the court's opinion that found the practice legal on statutory grounds. The assisted suicide opponents promised to take the fight to the Legislature.

"Definitely not what we wanted, but not as bad as it could have been," group president Jeff Laszloffy said in an e-mail update to members. "The fact that the court did not find a constitutional right to physician assisted suicide is good for those of us opposed to this abhorrent practice."

The Supreme Court, pointing to the Legislature's own policy-making, ruled that assisted suicide is an acceptable defense to any homicide charges against the doctor.

"In physician aid in dying, the patient, not the physician, commits the final death-causing act by self-administering a lethal dose of medicine," Justice William Leaphart wrote for the court.

Justice John Warner, serving his last day on the court, wrote in a separate concurring opinion that the court decided to leave the constitutional issues alone because addressing them was not necessary.

Justice James Nelson, a more liberal member of the court, said he would have extended the constitutional right to the procedure as the lower court had.

Two judges dissented from the decision, saying the court was reversing long-standing public policy.

"Until the public policy is changed by the democratic process, it should be recognized and enforced by the courts," wrote Justice Jim Rice for the minority. "In my view, the court's conclusion is without support, without clear reason, and without moral force."

Get to know Sinai the Overcomer

My birth name is Jermaine Morris and I was born up-top in New Haven, Connecticut. A lot of people think that Connecticut is country when that is the furthest thing from the truth. I grew up in a fatherless home for the majority of my childhood. When my mother remarried in 1995, we moved to Norfolk, Virginia. I started rapping at the age of 16, but what I was spitting wasn't glorifying God. I used to enter myself into local battles, but kept it hidden from my parents because I grew up in church. I knew right from wrong, but chose to do wrong as we all have done. My mother found out after only a couple of months and told me that if I was going to live under her roof and rap, then I had to do christian rap. She started buying me christian rap cd's hoping that it would pull me away from secular music. A-1 Swift was the first christian rap group I ever heard and at that time, the best. It was then that I adapted the name R-Kade because of my wordplay. I was going all over Hampton Roads rapping at picnics, churches and any other event that I could get in. But just because I was ministering, doesn't mean I lived what I was rapping. I lived a double-minded life for about 3 years, which resulted in an identity crisis. I didn't know who I was, so every time my family moved, which was just about every year, I tried to become what I saw in hopes that they would accept me. As a teen, my thought process was, " If my own father didn't want me, then why would any stranger off the street accept me for me?" But one evening, the church that I was attending at the time called New LIFE Providence had a prophetic class. I wanted to learn more about this prophetic anointing that God blessed me with. The first night of the class wasn't exactly what I expected. The Lord began to use people to speak to me and he began to pull some things out of me that I've been carrying my whole life. I felt him literally reaching into me and pulling out everything that wasn't of Him,and it was then that He called me by my name, Sinai. Soon after that, I went to a bible college in New York called Pinecrest Bible Training Center, where he continued to work in me and revealed a life that I got so good at hiding. But I knew it had to be done in order for me to grow to the full potential that He has called me to. The consequences were more than I wanted them to be, but it was there at Pinecrest that he showed me that I can overcome. So from there he called me Sinai the Overcomer. I am now a part of The Refuge Ministries, headed my my mentor and my brother, Mike Farmer. And our first ministry is unto God, then unto the masses. We preach not ourselves, but the word of God, which will last for eternity. I attend Calvary Revival Church of Chesapeake under Dr. Carlton Mcleod. I am still growing and my focus now is to eat the word of God and find out who He is. Because I know that it's in Him that I will find out who I am.

Word from the publisher. Sinai the Overcomer is a BEAST! Sound doctrine mixed with clever wordplay and a true heart that's after GOD. I don't know what else to say but get at this dude. I got his 6 song EP and I was disappointed because there were only six songs.

Kingdom World Records presents Hollywood Holly

VA STAND UP!!! I am proud to present to some and introduce to others, Hollywood Holly. This Jesus Christ representa hails from Virginia Beach,Virginia and puts it down like no other rap artist I have ever heard. His debut album, CBF Da Movement Vol.1, is available at all digital download sites,i.e. cdbaby.com, itunes,etc. I bought Hollywood Holly's album just yesterday and I can truly say that it is a banger! The album starts out with an intro with Holly making a heartfelt spill that attempts to tell The Body of Christ as well as unbelievers, to put their focus on Christ and not in things. Then we go into the horn blaring track "Talk It" where Holly tells believers we can't just talk about it but we gotta be about it. Then my personal favorite "Big Deal" which derives from 1 John 4:4. It states that as Christians we are in deed a "Big Deal" because of the Spirit of GOD that indwells us, and not because of ourselves. Then the heartfelt track "Say Goodbye" talks about making the decision to have to step away from people once the decision to accept Christs comes into play. I encourage everyone here to get the album, it is a must for your collection. Cop one for the house and the car too.

2010 is Here!....So what you gon' do?

First of all, let me start off by saying Happy New Year to everyone. I apologize for the month delay of blogging and posts but my laptop had caught a virus. Shout out to my man Quinn for fixing it. I know alot of you as with every new year have come up with a resolution that you will plan to carry out. Hopefully for you guys the resolution wasn't broken by 3am New Years day. Anyways as for myself I didn't come up with a New Years resolution. No its not because I have it all together but because I don't want to offer up to GOD and empty promises so my simple prayer to GOD was, "LORD I want to live free." By no means do I mean live free from Him, but I want to live in the full freedom that being a child of GOD brings. Free from making a choice to sin, free from slacking in my daily devotion to him, free from not trusting, free from not displaying full love to others and myself. I want to live free to do everything that GOD has called me to do. I want to live free to branch out to do all of the future endeavors that GOD has given me ideas to do....from clothing to music to a magazine. As The Ambassador said,"Gimme Dat". I am tired of holding my own self back because nobody else is doing it but me. I am free from thinking that I can't accomplish my goals and in 2010 I will either accomplish the things I have set out to do or I will be reeeeal close to finishing it. I pray that all of you will choose to "Live Free" this year. Not living free in sin, but in experiencing the TRUE FREEDOM that is only found in Jesus Christ. God bless and I can say freely that I love yall. Texas and VA let's get it!
