Yes, University of Florida Gators’ Tim Tebow has won a Heisman (and the first to do so in his Sophomore year) and two - count ‘ em two - National Championships, but more importantly, he has a very hot girlfriend.  Remember kids, that’s what matters.

Tebow is a dual threat quarterback who can run and pass, notching 20 QBs on the ground and via air, another first.

For Tebow, all good things come in… pairs.

- 2 National Championships
- Two Maxwell Awards, only the second player to win the award twice.
- So in that spirit, we give you these two nice pictures of his lady friend.

I am sure Tebow - who spends his summer season at his father’s Christian orphanage in Philipines and had John 3:16 written on his face during the Big Game - picked her out for her values.

Hat tip to Liberal Values Blog for the images of Ms. Tebow.

USC was not happy to be in the Rose Bowl, feeling that they should have been battling for the National title in Miami, but the Trojans did leave winning their third straight Rose Bowl.

Penn State football was not enough to beat USC, but they were the fourth team this season to score a touch down against USC after half time. That’s something to be proud of.

The final score was a respectable: USC 38, Penn State 24. Vegas predicted USC’s victory, but the high scoring game was a surprise to many.

Everyone was doubting what was suppose to be a sure win when Penn State trailed 17-7 in the first half.

The Wolverines were use to dominating the Nittany Lions on the field as they have done for the last nine games in 12 years. This year was different, with Jo Paterno watching from the press box because of a sore hip and leg Penn State celebrated a 29-point victory in Beaver Stadium.

The Nittany Lions have withstood the Wolverines, but it’s the next game against Ohio State that Penn State fans are holding their breath for. A win could possible mean playing for the national championship.

Coach Joe Paterno’s No. 3 Nittany Lions visit No. 10 Buckeys (7-1, 4-0) Saturday for an 8:00 p.m. clash. The winner will assume sole possession of first place in the Big Ten Conference.

The Nittany Lions haven’t won at OSU since joining the Big Ten, but they hadn’t beaten Michigan in nine tries before last week either…

For a school known for Michael Jordan, 4 national championships in men’s basketball and the famous Carolina-Duke rivalry, the football team at the University of North Carolina is stealing some of the spot light from the basketball team.

With its 38-12 victory over previously unbeaten Connecticut, North Carolina has jumped into the CBSSports.com 120, moving up 15 spots to number 21.

Maybe the jump is due to the coaching of second-year coach Butch Davis, or because the team has learned to play together, but whatever the reason, this is a big leap for a team that is use to sitting at the bottom of the rankings in the ACC.

College football has began once again!

This is my favorite time to be on any American campus. It’s a time when everyone wears their school colors proudly and meets at the football field to cheer on their team and boo the rivals.

This year the focus of the Nittany Lions continues to be on 80 year old, head coach Jo Paterno. After 58 years at Penn State people are debating when he will retire and if he’s too old to bring the team to state.

The Nittany Lions are only three seasons removed from going 11-1 and finishing third in the nation. They went 9-4 in each of the two seasons since. Those three seasons followed a five-year spell of mediocrity at best — the Nittany Lions had losing records in four of those seasons (2000-04).

Although the debate of retirement may continue publicly, so far so good for Paterno with a 2 for 2 to begin the season.

Paterno denies that he will only retire once he passes Florida State coach Bobby Bowden as the all-time leader in coaching victories. Last season, Paterno closed the margin from three wins to one. Bowden leads, 373-372.

According to research that ESPN asked the NCAA to conduct, at least four men have coached college football after the age of 80, including John Gagliardi, still winning at Division III St. John’s (Minn.). Like Paterno, the legendary Amos Alonzo Stagg coached major-college football after the age of 80. Stagg won 16 games at Pacific after turning 80. But he lost 33 and tied two. Since Paterno turned 80, he has a record of 10-4.

The public knows Paterno for his thick glasses and that full head of hair that is only recently showing signs of age. His coaches and players know him for his obsession with details. They say he has maintained it even as he is closing his sixth decade in coaching.

Georgia was widely considered the hottest team in college football at the end of the 2007 season.

A panel of Division I-A coaches remembered, voting the Bulldogs the preseason No. 1 in the USA Today Top 25 coaches’ poll, released Friday.
