I'm just glad I am not a football player in this day and time. Today things are blown way out of proportion - compared to the way things flew under the radar and were handled 30 years ago.

What does he do? The "victim" stood up in court on his behalf. The charges were lowered to misdemeanor. But, Rainey gets six months of probation and counseling. I'd bet Meyer keeps him off the team for the rest of this year then lets him back on for next season. If, he does all the double secret probation stuff Meyer thinks up for him to get back on the team. I don't know about you all, but I feel sorry for Rainey. Sure, it was stupid, and he should be punished, but I don't think he should have to sacrifice the whole season if he gets his act back together. In light of all the arrest stories, I'd guess, as I said earlier, he won't be back this year. -- 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 -- 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
