An open letter to Gator Nation...

This loss is bad. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. If two teams run the table, the odds might be long. But here’s the deal.

This too shall pass. The Tebow will recover. The Tebow is too talented not too. But, you do know that Tim is immature. Tim has a big game next week.

And if the alligators eat up LSU? All is forgiven. You’re right back in the discussion. It’s the signature win that the Big East or Big 12 losers do not get. But that’s next week.

You want to be upset tonight? Go ahead. Just channel the thing properly. Drunk dial a sports talk show. Play Halo 3 until your thumbs bleed. Attempt to steal Auburn’s War Eagle.

But come Monday, you’ve got LSU. You can be all up in the race again. You can be in front of South Florida, Kentucky, and Boston College even. You’re cock of the walk in Gainesville.

Losing to Auburn changes nothing.

The Tebow you remember will come back soon enough.

Feel Better,

The Grand National Championships
