Yes, this is just not worth getting this excited over. The team wants privacy. They have to go somewhere else to get it. I'm sure they'll be back in the regular fields soon.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: John Vega <mailto:zebu...@gate.net> To: Gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, August 10, 2009 2:00 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Today's Gatornews from Miami Herald and Palm Beach Post 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. -Zeb On Aug 10, 2009, at 12:51 PM, Arthur Polhill wrote: After the 4th MNC and the 3rd MNC in the last 4 years, I'll ask you how you feel about public transparency.

The team will begin its closed-door practices on Monday. To insure secrecy, the team is moving its preseason practices to a secondary location on campus. This move paranoia to a new level. Our team won't even use its own practice fields? Seems a little wasteful. -Zeb <BR --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
