Michael Jordan has a shoe. Steve Spurrier has a visor.

And Rich Brooks has a F-150.

Paul Miller Ford, a Lexington, Ky. dealership, released an “exclusive 2009 Rich Brooks Edition F-150 Crew CabTruck,” the school announced in a release.

The truck was on sale today, 1/23, in tribute of the Wildcats first, second and third bowl wins under Brooks.

“It’s a good looking truck and I encourage people to see it and drive it,” Brooks said.

It’s painted silver and blue with a strip of black, and includes a relax tailgate cover, 22-inch custom chrome wheels and tires, tinted windows, dual exhaust, Toff spray-in bed liner, enhanced mobile satellite TV system and Microsoft SYNC.

The truck also includes Rich Brooks signature decals on the doors and tailgate, and Rich Brooks edition decals on fenders and quarter panels.

A price has not been announced. The truck can be seen here.

In other SEC news…
Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes was named the Chevrolet defensive player of the year. He had 93 total tackles, including 52 solo, and was the anchor of the Gators defense which helped win Florida its second national title in three years.

Spikes was a finalist for the Bronko Nagurski Awards.

He announced earlier this month that he’ll return for his senior season at Florida.

Meyer hires tight end coach

January 23rd, 2009, 11:12 am by Josh Weinfuss


Florida coach Urban Meyer announced earlier this week the hiring of Brian White as tight ends coach.

White replaces John Hevesy, who joined former Gator offensive coordinator Dan Mullen at Mississippi State.

White comes to Florida from Washington. He was special teams coordinator and tight ends coach there for one season after spending two as offensive coordinator at Syracuse. As offensive coordinator and running backs coach at Wisconsin, White tutored Ron Dayne, Michael Bennett, Anthony Davis and Brian Calhoun.

He won the AFCA Divison I Assistant Coach of the Year in 2004.

“He will play a key rol ein our offensive game plan and our special teams preparation,” Meyer said. “He is a relentless recruiter and has an understanding of our program’s philosophy.”

Tim Tebow is human, has shoulder surgery

January 12th, 2009, 11:56 am by Josh Weinfuss

A day after announcing his plans to return as Florida’s quarterback for his senior season, Tim Tebow
underwent arthoscopic surgery on his right shoulder at Shands Florida Surgical Center, the school announced in a release Monday.

The procedure removed a bone spur and releived chronic inflammation, the result of an injury Tebow sufferd last season but reaggravated earlier this year.

“The surgery went well,” team physician Dr. Pete Indelicato said in the release. “He should be able to begin throwing in the next three to four weeks and a full recovery is expected.”

Tebow returning next season

January 12th, 2009, 12:05 am by Josh Weinfuss

Florida’s All-Everything quarterback Tim Tebow had one last thing to say before he walked off the stage during the celebration honoring the Gators’ second national championship in three seasons at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

“Oh, by the way, let’s do it again,” Tebow said. “I’m coming back.”

Tebow had the option of forgoing his senior year of college and entering the NFL Draft.

In his three seasons in Gainesville, Tebow has won two national titles and the 2007 Heisman Trophy.

Read the story about Tebow’s announcement.

Now here’s my question…Will Tebow be the best college football player ever when his career is over?

Let me know.

My BCS NCG prediction

January 8th, 2009, 4:36 pm by Josh Weinfuss

A lot has been made out of Tim Tebow’s humanity, Oklahoma’s no-huddle offense and Florida’s speed during this week’s lead up to the FedEx BCS National Championship Game in Miami.

But I think it’s the Sooners secondary that will be the difference between an Oklahoma win or a Florida win.

If Oklahoma’s secondary can play like it did against Texas Tech late in the season, I don’t think Florida’s speed will have a chance to win it the game. But that won’t be the case. The Gators will get to the outside and break through the tackles, and through the Sooners secondary en route to a second national championship in three years.

Final score: Florida 45, Oklahoma 38.
