Obama Lauds Florida State Gators

[Scurrilous]

<snip>

"President Barack Obama has welcomed the Florida State Gators to the White House and congratulated them on a second national championship in football in three years.

Obama on Thursday welcomed the Gators to the East Room and says their excellence on and off the football field is worthy of praise. Obama says being a champion doesn't end when the clock runs out and noted that the team volunteers 400 hours each year.

Obama says it's strong leadership that the team played hard together and works in their communities."

5. Obama was quoted as saying upon meeting Tim Tebow,

"Just being in the presence of this young man for five minutes was a life changing experience".

For those of us who watched the game and was sickened by the announcers will know what I am talking about.

6. was Tebow wearing his jorts and crocs to the WH?

The guy is a great athlete, but the Tebow-love fest is too much when you watch a UF game (and I am a SEC graduate).

on edit: Go Gators!

9. They're renaming the East Room, The Gator Room. Afterall,.....

The Gators have been there and recognized as National Champions 4 times in the last 40 some months.

And after next January they might just rename the BCS Championship.... The Gator Invitational.

I'm thinking Florida might just invite The Okie team to play them in January '10 for the championship. I'd have said Texas but they're seceding so won't be part of our country.
