This is it … again.For weeks, pundits and prognosticators have said No. 1 Florida (12-0) and No. 2 Alabama (12-0) were too good to be overcome — they were destined to clash in a second-straight Southeastern Conference title game, with the winner again bound for the national championship game.Those pundits were right.Despite the best efforts of Arkansas junior kicker Alex Tejada, LSU sophomore cornerback Patrick Peterson and Auburn senior quarterback Chris Todd, the dominant duo of the 2009 SEC season has survived with one more game to play.For an LSU fanbase that suffered through losses to both programs this season, there’s a bit of debate about whom to cheer for in what Yahoo! Sports blogger Matt Hinton has dubbed “Florabamageddon.”On one side sit the Gators, LSU’s permanent opponent from the SEC East and owners of a 6-4 advantage in the series this decade.”They’re just so cocky about how good they are in baseball, football — everything. I’d love to see them lose,” said Christen Vaughan, general studies junior.On the other side is the Crimson Tide, which has surged back to national prominence under former LSU coach Nick Saban. Alabama boasts a two-game winning streak against the Tigers.”I can’t stand Alabama, so I’ve got to go for the other team,” said Mark Moroney, history senior.On top of that, any Tiger fan worth his salt will say the Tide pulled a fast one in the teams’ Nov. 7 meeting in Tuscaloosa, Ala.Alabama pulled out a 24-15 decision after LSU sophomore quarterback Jordan Jefferson and senior running back Charles Scott were knocked out of the game, and an apparent interception by Peterson was ruled an incomplete pass.”Florida beat us, but the Alabama game was really close — and we should have won,” said Turner Gilreath, general business freshman.LSU fans seem to have their own reasons for choosing sides in the showdown.”Ever since I was growing up, I’ve always hated Florida,” said Charlie Evans, French senior. “It’s like a true passion deep down in my heart — a true hatred for them.”Evans, like many Tiger fans, holds a long-standing grudge with former Gator coach Steve Spurrier, who compiled an 11-1 record against LSU while outscoring the Tigers, 421-132, in those meetings.”He was a terrible person,” Evans said of Spurrier.Florida senior quarterback Tim Tebow has picked up Spurrier’s title as “Most Reviled Gator” in recent seasons. Tebow has two games remaining in his illustrious career, which has already seen him win two national titles, two SEC titles and a Heisman Trophy.Last season, Tebow led two fourth-quarter touchdown drives against the Crimson Tide to win the title, 31-20.”I don’t like Tebow, but you’ve got to admit he’s a really good player,” Moroney said. “You’ve got to give him credit where credit is due.”Some fans simply have not recovered from the sting of seeing Saban in Alabama colors after guiding LSU back to national prominence.”Saban is a great coach — I’m not too happy that he’s there at all, but my spite for Tebow is more than Saban,” said Adam Green, biology junior.A win Saturday night would  further solidify Tebow’s status as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, college football player of all time, while an Alabama victory would give Saban his third SEC title this decade and Alabama its 22nd SEC championship.”I like Tebow. I like his style and the way he handles himself,” said Warren Lyons, custodian supervisor. “I just like Florida.”But the majority of non-Gator fans are probably more excited about Tebow finishing his college career than the three-year starter’s many accomplishments.”I’m sick about hearing about Tebow. I’m so ready for him to be out of college football,” Evans said. “I can’t wait for him to fail and fall flat on his face in the NFL.”It’s a game that’s been roughly eight weeks in the making. Tired SEC fanbases have stared up in the standings all year long at the seemingly unbeatable duo. One of them has to be beaten now. “Alabama seems like more of the underdog,” Green said. “If they win, it means it will probably have been a great game. And if it’s a great game, that’d be good.”—-Contact David Helman at [email protected]
