Best, worst of ESPY nods for Dogs fans
The honors just keep rolling in for the Gym Dogs’ Courtney Kupets, who now is in the running for best female college athlete in ESPN’s ESPY Awards, due to be handed out July 15 at the Nokia Theater in L.A, with Samuel L. Jackson as host. The awards will be telecast on ESPN at 9 p.m. on July 19. Fans may vote through 11:59 p.m. on July 11 in all or some of the 37 categories; one vote per day may be cast in a category. Registration is required.
Kupets is up against Notre Dame soccer player Kerri Hanks, Washington softball player Danielle Lawrie, Connecticut basketball player Maya Moore and California swimmer Dana Vollmer.
The nominees for best male college athlete? Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford, Boston U. hockey player Matt Gilroy, Oklahoma basketball player Blake Griffin, San Diego State baseball player Stephen Strasburg and Florida’s god playing among mere mortals, Tim Tebow.
The ESPYs being the ESPYs, of course, you can count on a high cheese content, typified by the nominees for best sports moment of the year: Helio Castroneves winning the Indy 500, the U.S. swim team’s thrilling finish in the Olympic relay and “Tim Tebow’s speech” — you know, the one after the Gators’ loss to Ole Miss last season that’s been immortalized on a plaque at Florida Field.

Good luck to Courtney, as she will deserve it; and, sorry to say, but the UGA Bulldog football team is in line for the ESPY as the worst choke job of the year!

There are a lot of what ifs about last season. My biggest what if: what if Florida had beaten Ole Miss?
Huh?

I hate Florida as much as anybody but you have to admit that Tebow speech was money and took major balls. The guy will go down as one of the greatest ever. Lets not whine about his hype and try to make him 1-2 against us as a starter this year. That would be nice.

Tim Tebow is without a doubt the best overall football player in CFB. He is tough and leads in example, from the heart and speaks his mind. It is very evident that the Gators listen to him. Timmy is a class act and knows all the right things to say. I hate him as a Gator, but I have a lot of respect and admiration for him as a player and a man. Now, lets GATA in Jax and end his career as 1-2 as a starter vs the dawgs.

MB: But we beat her once in the CWS, which is more than the jackettes did in the regionals.
