#1 Florida Gators vs #2 Alabama Crimson Tide 2009 SEC Championship

So awesome to see AJ McCarron, Barrett Jones, Kevin Norwood, and Eddie Lacy on the sidelines. Champs in the making.

Barrett Jones started at right guard.

the re-start of Alabama glory and the start of the "We want Bama" chants - worked out gust great for Texas, Lsu and Notre Dame. Hell, even Bama doesn't want Bama !!!!!!

As a Bama fan that grew up in the 90's and 2000's this will always be the greatest game in the greatest season ever. The first NC I remember everything about

You could put together an 8-8 NFL team from just the players on this field.

Not anymore... Tebow is out of the NFL. Hernadez is jailed. Cooper is a racist that people don't want to play with. Should I continue?

Let Manziel be their QB... they won't be 8-8 then. LoL at the old troll! Trey Cooper You are correct.

[@kingike25319]

to me Alabama of 2009 and 2011 are my favorite teams. Alabama strength of schedule in 2009 was their second highest this past decade and they beat back to back undefeated teams. and the 2011 defense of Alabama was truly remarkable in my eyes probably the best I ever saw in my young life, shutting out LSU in the BCS that went through a murderous schedule that year is a impressive feat.

[@bamafan73191]

Idk, even though we didn't win the championship I absolutely loved the 2008 team. We were expected to go 8-4 and beat everyone including the blackout at Uga and the 36-0 beat down of auburn, so many great memories that year, you know except for the bowl game lol

[@pedukefan]

Alabama was the best team in college football that year. Same when Florida in 2008.

[@Lets2Playerz]

I agree. Same reason why UF lost to Louisville this past season. When you get that close when no one thought you would, you don't wanna get up for anything else. After Bama lost to Utah Saban made sure the team knew the importance of games, and after the 2010 season he made sure the team knew they had to try to win, they couldn't just show up and do it.

[@PWNUxNATION]

Tebow- not known for his running or passing but his attitude great but really known for his exceptional work for GOD!

[@FOXBAMA]

The start of The dynasty. I still have to give all the respect that is due to Tim Tebow I take great pleasure and calling him my brother he is a great example of a devout Christian like myself he truly is an inspiration and humble man how he gave so much respect and credit to the University of Alabama really shows what it looks like to be a man of faith. ✝️👍

[@Strikersean211]

as a FSU fan, this game was my favorite game to watch ever. and florida had their time in 2008 with a SEC title and National championship. and now alabama in 2009 got their chance to do the same and they did. won the sec title and the national championship

Back when defense was still played! This game was considered an offensive blowout back then and ultimately won Mark Ingram the Heisman trophy.

[@thecuppiecakemonster]

as a huge Bama fan, it was hard to enjoy the win. It made me sick that people were laughing when such a good human being who worked his ass off was crying. He worked so hard but could only do so much for his team. Dude will always be a beast though so hes not hurting right now

[@yoobran7296]

I'm a really deep down Alabama fan but Tebow played his heart out that season.

[@yesmamnosir7997]

The year before when Bama lost to Florida in the SECCG in the last, what....10 Mins of the game after being up ? Not seeing my Crimson Tide winning a NC since I was 3/4 (and yes I still remember watching the game with my dad in brother while we lived in Alaska cause my dad was stationed there) this was such a great win. Even after winning the NC this year and the consecutive #1 ranked recruiting classes that we were bringing in i still could not ever imagine that we’d create the greatest dynasty in college football history especially considering we had the second greatest dynasty ever when Bear was the coach as he won 6 NC’s at Bama as well. So yes, one of the greatest wins still in our past decade of dominance. I would put this game higher than the ND NC game if it weren’t for the fact we beat a blue blood that gave us fits during the 60s/70s. Bama has beaten blue bloods Texas, ND, and Ohio St now and some folks consider Clemson to be a blue blood as well cause their 1981 NC and the success they’ve had lately. Also beating LSU and UGA for NC’s as LSU is not a main rival (Bama has won 9 out the last 10 against them) and UGA, which I’m sure they hate us but they aren’t our rivals and believe me when I say we hate auburn, Tenn, LSU, Texas AM and even Florida (because of the 90’s SECCG’s) more than UGA. They sure do hate us tho. lol. I’d like to beat Clemson once more so we’d have a winning % over them in the playoffs as it’s tied now but I’d love if USC could get into a NC game against us so we could beat another blue blood. Or a Michigan/Penn St/ Florida St/ Nebraska. I would’ve said Miami as well but we beat them for a NC in ‘92. Roll Tide!

[@cibernutx]

it had to take a lot to write this. thanks, for being a great sport about it.

[@drewjpyrc]

this is the game that turned me into a bama fan

[@SneedBass]

I loved this game. It was almost like destiny for the two teams to return a year later both undefeated. I'm a bama fan but I thought Florida had a very classy team. Alabama just wanted it more. As for Tebow crying, that was a very important game especially being his senior year. Also their last loss he made a promise to the fans that they'd never lose another game ( of course its almost impossible to keep.) I'm glad they went to the sugar bowl and beat the crap out of Cincinnati.

[@SpartanPride4Life1]

I really don't understand how they had the heart to interview Tim Tebow in that moment. He was so broken down and so disappointed. "How disappointing is this for you?" WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT? Obviously it's incredibly disappointing. What a stupid question. She legitimately looked like she enjoyed watching him suffer.

[@jamesgators32]

Still one of the toughest losses for me to stomach. Just got absolutely dominated in every facet of the game by a better and a more determined team. Hope we can get back again soon.

[@GrandChamp211]

As a Crimson Tide fan, I have to give credit to AU's determination on a hard fought battle against UA. good luck in the SEC Championship

[@bobtimberlake5659]

Alabama lost, with a second left to go? A great ending.

[@GrandChamp211]

[@RandyDubin]

People probably don't know this, but this was the first time in the 17 year history of conference championship games (and yes, I am including Mid-Majors in this) that both division champions came into this game with undefeated conference records, let alone undefeated overall records.
.......And THAT'S your CFB Fact Of The Day.

[@RandysRacingPlace633]

This was not only the first time in the history of college football that two teams unbeaten in conference play met in a conference championship game, but it was also the first time in the history of college football that two overall undefeated teams met in a conference championship game, PERIOD. And it's only fitting that it would be the SEC, the conference that 'invented' the conference championship game, that would have that honor.

I think there are just unfortunately a rogue group of so called "fans" that are very mean spirited and have no real respect for college football, good sportsmanship and respect for their opponent. And, every team seems to have those type of fans too. Tebow is a class guy.

[@GeorgiaKev]

Tim Tebow was such a crybaby. During his four years at Florida, he won two national championships, two SEC titles, a Heisman his sophomore year (and Heisman candidate in both his junior and senior years) and while having every Gator fan as well as the national media throwing rose petals at his feet throughout his time in Gainesville, and he can't stomach enduring a rare loss. The better team won that day.

[@noahtaylor4213]

Same for me. Alabama thoroughly dominated us and just flat out wanted it more. Florida just rolled over when Alabama kept coming. We were never right the whole year. We bout lost to Arkansas at home and with Addazio calling the plays our offense was NOT what it should have been. Either way we were not beating Bama on this day. Saban had them ready to go from the start. It was obvious early on that Bama wanted it more.

[@rogerbahakel]

Everyone has a bad loss....even the big and bad. However, Louisville was pretty underrated and has a 2013 Heisman contender at QB with a head coach who was the offensive coordinator at UF, Charlie Strong. Still no excuses though.

[@bubblegumgirl2017]

even though I'm a bamba fan I felt really bad for tebow because he worked really hard

[@Jeff2870]

It actually started the season before when Bama went 12-2. That was the beginning of this special run. They were 12-0 reg. season in 2008, and had UF down in the 4th qtr in the SECCG, let it get away. Then I think they had a hard time getting excited to play Utah, after coming so close to being in the BCSCG. Just my opinion....I don't think Utah was a better team than Bama. I do think Bama was simply disappointed to be playing them.

[@mreed91]

Why does everyone have to belittle Tim Tebow? I'm a diehard Bama fan, but I'm an even bigger follower of Jesus Christ. Tim Tebow has done so much for the cause of Christ. He cried. Big deal. It's been 3 years now. Let's see what he can do for the ministry of Jesus Christ.

[@divin3King]

A&M is a great team, they have the potential to beat anyone. Even though I hate to make excuses, I feel UF lost to Louisville because Louisville simply wanted it more then UF, its just a damn shame. But I give Louisville credit for not letting up. They're gonna be a great contender in the ACC, which was a smart part by moving.

Urban Meyer recruited Tim Tebow, Meyer fell asleep at Tebow's house because he was so exhausted from recruiting. Tebow's mother put a Gator blanket on Meyer as he slept. Meyer thought it was a good sign when he woke up. Zook had nothing to do with it. In fact, Tebow said he was seriously considering Bama before Meyer recruited him at Florida.

[@AlbertTheGator]

those games were alot closer then what the score on the score board said, in 2009 we made it in the red zone 2 times but didn't do anything with it, if we would have scored a couple of TD's on those two drives it would have been 32-27 and in 2010 we made it inside the 5 like 3 or 4 times but couldn't do anything, and in 2011 we was driving the ball on yall until brantley went down.

FYI, Florida is 4-3 vs Alabama in SEC championship games. The actual overall record is Alabama 24-14 but since 1990 it's Florida 8-7. Just a couple of facts for you. Florida was not much of a football program pre 1990, although they had good years here and there, they were not consistent.

Coaching is a complicated "science". Sometimes college coaches try to use similar techniques in personel from the NCAA and translate it to the NFL. They try to mold professionals in a way. Saban "wanted" too much. When he was coaching in the NCAA he could always find the LB, DT, DE, CB, or whatever he wanted through scouting. In the NFL you get only what is available. He lacked the NFL experience he needed. But I admit he is a coaching mastermind in the NCAA. He tried and failed he admitted it.
