Something just doesn't feel quite right this Monday. Oh, I know: the Broncos actually lost on Sunday.
While Tebowmania has calmed – at least temporarily – Denver remains in first place in the AFC West following Sunday's loss to New England. So former Gators quarterback Tim Tebow will still be in the headlines plenty as the playoffs approach.
As for current Gators, the men's basketball team is home tonight against Mississippi State fresh off a 20-point win over Texas A&M on Saturday.
Gators football coach Will Muschamp has a press conference at noon to talk about the Gator Bowl and other topics. If you want to follow real-time updates during Muschamp's presser, you can follow me on Twitter @GatorZoneScott.
