The Old Stomping Grounds

As evidenced by the picture above, I went up to Gainesville for the day to just walk around and see my old, college stomping grounds. The pictures are all posted up on my Flickr page. You can use the link to your left or you can follow the direct link below.

Not too much to report right now. I started working soon after coming back to Florida, so I've been busy getting used to things and getting back into the flow of how my company does things versus what I was used to in California. I haven't been able to see all the friends I want to, but I know that will get taken care of eventually.

Anyway, quick post tonight. Thinking up some topics for later in the week but this will have to do for now. Need to relax a bit before going to sleep.

Congratulations to Superman ... uh ... I mean, Tim Tebow

I would just like to congratulate the 2007 recipient of the Heisman Memorial Trophy, Tim Tebow. Being a UF alumni, I have watched pretty much every game he has played in and believe the award is well-deserved. Darren McFadden, the running back at Arkansas, is an incredible player, able to score touchdowns in any number of ways, but unfortunately I do not feel he had as good a season this year as Tim Tebow did for the Gators. Tim Tebow scored 51 touchdowns this year (29 passing/22 running) and before anyone says anything not everyone of his running touchdowns were 1-yard plunges across the goal line. For example, look at the 15+ touchdown run he had at the beginning of the FSU-UF game. Of course, I think most people would agree winning an award like this tends to put a target on your chest for your opponents. Most people probable think it looks like this:

But I think most of us UF alumni would agree the target looks more like this:
