Florida vs Alabama 2009 game time:The Florida vs. Alabama 2009 game time is important for everyone that follows the SEC.  Nashville follows the SEC because UT is one of the teams.  Although UT is in Knoxville, Davidson County residents still are supportive of the team.  The Florida vs. Alabama 2009 game time will be exciting, and many area men and women will be crowding sports bars all over Nashville, anxiously watching the 2009 SEC championship game.

Who will win the Florida vs. Alabama 2009 game? After all, it is the SEC Championship game. Some are estimating that Florida will win, but you have to remember that Alabama didn’t stay undefeated through luck.  The game is going to be a very intense game where a great quarterback matches up with one of the best running backs in the SEC. In Fact, both Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and Alabama Running Back Mark Ingram are in the running for a Heisman Trophy.

Alabama’s defense is also very impressive. Linebacker Rolando McClain is the lead player in the Alabama defense.  Whether or not Tebow will be able to push his team through this defense has yet to be seen. Nose tackle Terrence Cody will also play a crucial role in keeping the Florida offense from scoring.

The winner of today’s 2009 SEC championship game will gain an almost automatic entry in to the BCS title game on January 7, 2010.  This is an exciting game, as it is the first time that the SEC’s ranked 1 and 2 teams meet up, both with undefeated records.

The matchup will occur at 4:00 EST/ 3:00 CST today.  The game is broadcast on CBS networks.

Geoduck:It’s no secret that we’re fans of Kisaku. So much so that we’ve been reluctant to go elsewhere in Seattle for sushi, as we’re always disappointed.

Well, until now. We saved up some money to spend at Shiro’s, and while a bit pricier, the quality’s on par with Kisaku. Omakase’s the only way to go, in our view, so we again let the chef decide what to serve us. Some interesting individual pieces of nigiri, but most spectacular were the pairings the chef selected.

At first, we fell in love with two pieces of salmon–a fish we love (especially as devotees to the Pacific Northwest), but don’t normally seek out for sushi. One piece was “regularly” raw, but the second was an extra fatty piece (think: o-toro of salmon) served “aburi”-style, which means quickly seared with a blowtorch. A wonderful pairing of salmon pieces.

Even better, though, was a geoduck and scallop pairing, pictured. The geoduck had its telltale crunchy texture, whereas the scallop was lusciously soft. Both were sweet–the geoduck revealed more and more with each bite, the scallop more immediately so.

At the start of the meal, the sushi chef advised that the geoduck was especially good that evening, and asked if we ate everything. If you sit at the sushi counter, we recommend you trust your sushi chef. And we feel comfortable recommending you do so at either Kisaku or Shiro’s.
