Gatriots News!

Gatriots news this week is very somber. For the first time, I'm going to start with the Patriots...

 For the first time since 1775, England loves the Patriots! They cheered as Ridley rushed for a touchdown along with Vereen. They cheered as Brandon Lloyd caught two touchdowns passes. They cheered when the Patriots secondary FINALLY played well. But most of all, they cheered when Gronk showcased two spikes. So, yes, that means two touchdowns for the Gronk. Rob Gronkowski absolutely tore up the Rams defense en route to a spike that was themed like, as Gronk phrased it, "The nutcracker guys who guard the house." The other one featured Gronk swirling his hips. Both were odd, both were hilarious. Pats win 45-7. Nicely done!

Sigh. The Gators were on such a roll. Started out as #23. Won seven in a row. Comebacks against A&M and Tennessee. Fought hard to beat LSU. Destroyed South Carolina, but they just couldn't get it done against Georgia. Six turnovers, the majority of which were in the red zone, killed them. They didn't get it done this week, but here are some positives:

• Up next for the Gators, Missouri and Jacksonville State. Should beat them handily. Georgia gets Ole Miss and Auburn, both of whom are due for a win. This means if the Gators can beat Missouri and Georgia loses to either Ole Miss or Auburn, the Gators win the SEC East and their championship hopes are alive.
• Jeff Driskel will learn from this game. Plus, the Gators' stars are mainly freshman so they'll be around for a while. So will Muschamp.
• Gators fell to eighth in AP and coach poll and seventh in BCS poll. Still time for them to move up as they already have.
• Gators best case scenario: SEC Championship after defeat of Florida State (prove they're for real) with chance to beat Alabama. Worst case? Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Win out Florida!
• Best fanbase in the nation. Go Gators!
