American winner takes all

Chapter 209 The final opponent (22)

"In fact, the SEC's matchup list has been determined before the start of the season. I am afraid that the Southeastern Conference officials who arranged the lineup did not expect that the final round of the Southeastern Conference would see two undefeated teams meeting! This has only happened in history. It happened twice, and the last time it happened was 35 years ago." Ron Franklin watched the two coaches in the field walk to the middle of the field to shake hands, and he was already looking forward to the next game.

However, Mike Gottfrey couldn't help but remind him at this time: "To be precise, it should be called the Southeastern Conference Championship. The University of Alabama's regular season will end after this round of confrontation with Auburn University."

In college football, different league formats may also have slight differences.

The NCAA was forced to agree at the end of the 80s that "athletic leagues with more than 12 universities can hold separate championship tournaments." The following year, the Eastern Conference quickly recruited South Carolina and Arkansas into the Southeastern Conference to gather [-] universities. Such separate championships were organized by The league has full control, which can be regarded as a microcosm of the battle between the NCAA and its affiliated leagues.

Ron Franklin: "Really? Anyway, I hope everyone can pay attention to this epic battle in early December."

Although the college football strength selection, including that of the Associated Press, will not begin until the new year, Ron Franklin has almost determined that Alabama and Florida will be the top two universities in 96.

Let's talk about Alabama first. After the "monster" Ethan O'Connor joined, the entire team also ushered in a completely new change. It easily defeated its opponents in the first seven rounds and took the lead against Peyton Manning in the eighth round. At the University of Tennessee, Ethan showed tenacious fighting spirit and finally won the showdown between the "most promising young quarterbacks".

After that, they defeated LSU by a big score, and almost won the home game of Mississippi State. Finally, today, they won this year's Iron Bowl with a one-point advantage.

To this day, Alabama has maintained an undefeated record.

Similarly, Ethan O'Connor, personally, also maintains a complete victory in the college arena.

Let's talk about the University of Florida. Under the leadership of Steve Spurrier, nicknamed the Head Ball Coach, Florida won the SEC championship for four consecutive years from [-] to [-].

The record of four consecutive championships can be matched by no one except Alabama's former hero "Bill Blair".

Head coach Steve Spurrier is a native of Florida. He played in Florida in college. He won the Heisman Award in 66. He was selected by the San Francisco 67ers as the No. 49 pick in [-] and has since played in the NFL. Ten seasons and retirement as a college football coach.

It was him who made Florida what it is today, and this year's Florida is not sure if a group of players are about to enter the NFL. This is the last year of their college football careers, and the strength they have shown can be called "crushing."

First, they defeated Southeastern Louisiana University 55-21, and then defeated Georgia Southern University 62-14.

Facing the University of Tennessee led by Peyton Manning, they also easily passed 35-29.

65–0、42–7、56–13、47–7、52–25……单单是这一连串数字，就能感觉到佛罗里达大学的进攻组今年有多么恐怖。

As for Auburn University, which Alabama had just defeated, the score with Florida was 51-10.

In comparison, Alabama's offense is far behind.

And Florida's defense is ranked one spot higher than the Alabama defense.

Alabama is at a disadvantage on both offense and defense.

Hearing the director's voice turning off the live signal from the headset, commentator Ron Franklin took off his headset.

"It's a good result to get second or third place this year, especially for Ethan O'Connor, who just entered college this year." Franklin said to his colleagues.

As a freshman, he led the team into the top three in the country. This is already an extremely dazzling achievement. As long as Ethan does not decline significantly in the next few years, he will be a solid first-round pick.

"Are you right? Compared with the game between Alabama and Florida, I am more curious about the rematch between Peyton Manning and Ethan O'Connor in the next few years." Mike Gottfrey also said Don’t have high hopes for Alabama either.

"By the way, where are you going to go for Christmas vacation this year?" Franklin had already started asking his colleagues where they would go during the Christmas vacation.

Entering December, the work of the two college football commentators has basically been completed. ESPN does not have the copyright for the upcoming Southeastern Conference Championship. For this year's bowl game, ESPN has not made any major copyright purchases...

But Ethan, who returned to the locker room with the players, realized another problem - is there no trophy in the Iron Bowl?
In the previous game against Tennessee, everyone in Alabama smoked cigars in the locker room with great fanfare.

A game as big as the Iron Bowl doesn't even have a decent trophy, right?

When Ethan asked his question, everyone around him smiled slightly.

"The victory celebration of the Iron Bowl is quite special. You will know in a few days." Jim Fuller let it slip.

The players began to return by bus that day. The dark red-painted bus still stood out among the leaving crowd, but compared with the arrogance when they arrived, the Auburn University fans at this time seemed crestfallen.

In the end, Ethan pushed the ball into the zone with his teammates, completely knocking the energy out of the fans.

This is not a gap between the technical and tactical levels, nor a gap in the team's overall strength, but simply caused by Ethan being too buggy.

Compared with "Maybe we can close the gap next year if we work hard next year," this answer will undoubtedly make people feel despair.

In the car, Eugene immediately began to lay out his training plan for the next two weeks.The Southeastern Conference championship will be held in early December.

As before, this time Alabama also has a full two weeks to prepare.

Ethan was thinking about how to make extra use of these half months...Eugene's training plan was actually only useful for Ethan in the following week. The first week was more about maintaining condition.

That being the case...

·
On Tuesday, Mary came to the indoor training venue in advance as before to check the training equipment, make sure that the cafeteria had started preparing nutritious meals for noon today, and ensure that all other staff were in place... After entering Alabama, Mary's work attitude was commendable. First of all, as a loyal fan of the Crimson Tide, she has some fan bonuses. Secondly, the Crimson Tide's results this year are indeed very good, which makes her even more motivated.

Just as the players arrived one after another, Mary still didn't notice the figure just like yesterday... Although he came late in the past, he was not late.

This made Mary feel a little uneasy, so she asked Ron, a member of the team's coaching staff who was usually close to Ethan, to ask.

"Why do you care so much about Ethan?" Ron narrowed his eyes and said half-jokingly.

For a moment, Mary looked a little panicked and shook her head quickly: "As the main player of the team, it is more important to lead by example at this time, right? Is it because of academic reasons?"

"That's not true..." Ron shook his head.

"It's just that Ethan has been feeling a little uncomfortable these past two days."

"Taking two days off in a row is no small matter. Has he seen the team doctor?" Mary asked immediately.

"I'm not sure about this. I should have seen a doctor." Ron tried to say.

Mary felt uneasy and immediately took out her mobile phone and called Jeff, the school's director of sports medicine.As McKenna's father, he has always been responsible for the daily medical tasks of athletes. Especially for "valuable players" like Ethan, he is exclusively responsible for the entire process. Even a small cold has to be handled by Jeff himself. , almost regarded as Ethan’s personal doctor.

"Ethan is sick, why didn't I know?" Jeff on the other end of the phone looked very confused.

Oops, this kid isn't going to have a hard time alone in the apartment, right?For such a big person, he still needs others to worry about him.

Mary felt unhappy and a little worried about Ethan. She left everyone who was training and went directly to Ethan's apartment.

Ethan's apartment is not far from the training gym. Mary arrived at her destination 10 minutes later. It was the morning. Mary specifically asked the security personnel downstairs before going upstairs.

"Ethan is upstairs. He didn't come downstairs all day yesterday." The security guard nodded immediately.

This undoubtedly intensified Mary's suspicion, and she immediately chose to go upstairs.

But there was one thing the security guard didn't say. On Sunday night, Ethan returned to the apartment with two women.

The appearance and temperament of those two women, even just one look at them, made this security officer particularly unforgettable.

Anxious Mary came to Ethan's door and banged on the door.

But there was no sound from inside the house.

"Ethan, are you okay?" Mary looked increasingly anxious at the door.

After a while, the door finally opened.

When Mary, who was originally looking anxious, saw the person opening the door, her expression immediately turned into one of astonishment.

"You are?" She pondered subconsciously.

The door was opened by a young girl who looked like a college student to Mary. She was very tall, but she was wearing an Ethan T-shirt. The large T-shirt seemed to turn into a short skirt when worn on her body. Mary looked at it When she reaches her two points, no need to think about it, there is a vacuum all over her body.

At this point, Ethan has an extra vacuum girl in his house... He didn't go downstairs all day yesterday...

Mary's face suddenly looked furious.

Everyone is getting ready for the final Southeastern Conference game, so you might as well stay in your apartment and do some exercise.

Do you think this year’s results are enough?
Do you feel like you're pretty sure about Florida?There is really no cure!
Mary suddenly felt extremely angry, gritted her teeth and said coldly: "Call that bastard out."

Standing opposite Mary is actually Bridget Hall. This model has maintained a relationship with Ethan since his beard was cut off by Xiao Lizi at the party, and of course, including her friends.

"Ethan lets you in." Bridget turned her head and got out of the way.

Mary walked into the room with a gloomy face. As soon as she entered, she felt that the temperature in the room was very high, and the air was filled with a special fragrance. There were two pairs of designer boots for women scattered next to the shoe cabinet...

When she came to the living room, Mary saw Ethan who was having breakfast. There was another person sitting next to him. If the previous person made Mary think he was a college student, now this person immediately made Mary judge that the other person was either a model or a model. Be a star.All in all, her temperament is different from that of ordinary girls.

"You are so laid-back. Ethan O'Connor." Mary called her by name.

"What's the matter?" Ethan turned his head.

Mary crossed her arms and snorted heavily: "It's nothing, I just wanted to see what you were doing and why you didn't go to training for two days. I thought you were sick... Forget it, you couldn't win anyway. "

Mary didn't want to stay here for even a second longer, so she immediately chose to turn around and leave.

As the door slammed shut, Bridget asked Ethan: "Won't you chase her back?"

Looking at Mary's reaction, she thought she was Ethan's new girlfriend at this university.

Otherwise, why would you be so angry?
"No need, she is just the team leader, there is nothing between me and her." Ethan shook his head.

Apparently Mary had misunderstood.

I really wanted to win the game, so I specifically called Bridget and Heidi Klum over.

Regarding this matter, he could not explain it, so he could only let Mary keep the misunderstanding first.

"You think it's just the leader, maybe she doesn't think so?" Heidi Klum said.

Ethan shrugged, feeling Heidi Klum's feet rubbing against his trousers under the table.

As a model on the same level as Alessandra Ambrosio in the future, Heidi Klum's appearance is now at its peak.

"When I came in the night before yesterday, I felt something strange, but I couldn't put it into words." Heidi Klum found that Ethan was looking at her, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

She didn't know the reason, but she thought it was because she hadn't seen Ethan for too long.

"I specially added some seasonings to the fragrance in the room." Ethan raised his eyebrows.The answer will be revealed at this time.

Naturally, it is a seasoning to add to the fun, and people can't help but think about it. He got this from Nathan, the leader of the fraternity, also known as "Ryan", and it has been used with good results so far.

Heidi Klum took a deep sniff and felt the special fragrance. A charming smile appeared on her lips: "Ethan, increase the dosage."

So cruel?

After spending three ridiculous days with the two models, Ethan took the two of them to the basketball court at the University of Alabama.

Today is the last regular season game of the year for the Alabama basketball team. Like football, it is also played against Auburn University.

In addition to wanting to take the two of them to breathe some fresh air, Ethan had another important reason for coming here.

The Iron Bowl trophy, including a special victory ceremony, will appear later.
