Or you can go to the top of the parking garage adjacent to the practice fields
or walk into the baseball stadium from Museum Drive. If you don't think that
some form of espionage is not going on with our major competitors, you are
being rather naive. These will be the weeks that things like putting Haden in
the Wildcat formation, working on personnel groupings, as well as setting the
depth charts. If you want to be a Championship calibur program, you will want
the privacy for these weeks.
They only go to the remote fields for "Pre-Season Camp". This is our "training
camp" where we want to get the team away for the next two weeks, prior to
beginning game prep week for the beginning of the regular season. Other
coaches in the past would take the team to Ocala for the two weeks of two a
days. I don't have a problem with what Coach Meyer is doing. He wants two
weeks of intense focus to get prepared for a most difficult challenge,
Repeating as National Champions. This doesn't happen very often and we will be
wearing a "bulls eye" every single week. The team will be back on regular
practice field after camp.
I for one back Coach Meyer completely in this decision.

I never asked for transparency.
The fences around the practice fields are covered with opaque green fabric to
a height of about 12 feet. You live close, please check, I may be wrong about
the height but am pretty sure that the opacity and color are accurate.
I think that you'd have to rent a helicopter to get a good view of our
practices once the guarded gate is closed.
If the current measures at the practice field are inadequate, I'd be
interested in knowing the manner and how much it would cost to correct those
inadequacies.
That seems more sensible than abandoning practice fields that were built for
the purpose of, well, practicing.

The Gators were off on Saturday and Sunday. The team will begin its

This move paranoia to a new level.
Our team won't even use its own practice fields?
Seems a little wasteful.
