Florida
 coach Mike White speaks Wednesday during the SEC men's college basketball 
media day in Birmingham, Ala. (AP Photo/Butch Dill)




From 
SEC.com



BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Florida coach Mike White has an interesting challenge this 
season. For the first time in his coaching career, he gets to coach a five-star 
prospect in point guard Andrew Nembhard.



“It’s foreign to me and my staff,” White said. “It’s not foreign to the 
University of Florida.”



Nembhard has the challenge of following the veteran Chris Chiozza, who was a 
security blanket for the Gators, leading them to the 2017 Elite Eight and 
finishing last season as the program’s career leader in assists.



Chiozza, senior guard Jalen Hudson said, “was so experienced. His IQ was so 
high. I felt he was so far above the other point guards in the league.”



But Hudson, White and senior center Kevarrius Hayes all expressed confidence in 
the 6-foot-4 freshman Nembhard, part of Florida’s highly rated class.



“Cheese was a great player,” Hudson said. “Andrew is a great player as well.”



“For a freshman, he has a lot of poise,” Hayes said. “He’s a really great 
passer.”



White called Nembhard “an elite passer” and more. “Regardless of where he was 
ranked, he’s a high-character guy, a high-IQ guy.”

Number of votes cast: 455 

 

 

Here are the voting results so far.  The question is what are the mostly
Gator fans saying here?

Is Miami that bad again or do Florida fans hate them that much more than
f$U?

 

When I was at Florida, about 2 years ago, maybe a little longer, we felt
sorry for the semis and looked down at Miami as a sort of redheaded
stepchild.

Speaking of Gvile area restaurants, The Yearling always had special meaning
for us. It's where our (my husband and I) parents met for the first time,
and we've celebrated many special occasions there over the years. We didn't
make it by last year but hoping for an opportunity this season.

I can do that now and avoid the 5" of rain that will begin to fall at the
beginning of practice when the east coast sea breezes collide with the west
coast sea breezes over the practice field.

 

They will be impressively tall.  They will appear to be underweight and
clumsy in their loose jerseys.  They will not be able to differentiate
between a distant coach's whistle and a nearby cricket.  They will be more
jumpy than any cricket.

Number of votes cast: 455 

 

 

Here are the voting results so far.  The question is what are the mostly
Gator fans saying here?

Is Miami that bad again or do Florida fans hate them that much more than
f$U?

 

When I was at Florida, about 2 years ago, maybe a little longer, we felt
sorry for the semis and looked down at Miami as a sort of redheaded
stepchild.

Jelani Jenkins is going to be a true freshman for UF this year, and he won't
turn 18 until March, so I'm sure he skipped a grade somewhere along the way.
Skill position players can make impacts right away (Harvin, Julio Jones,
Demps, etc.), but it's harder for the bigger guys. But, there is a reason
most college players, specifically lineman and linebackers, really blossom
when they become upperclassman, and it's not just 'learning the system'.
It's because they are physically maturing into men, and they're not 17-18
year old kids anymore.

 

Regardless, I hope all this ending HS early to get to college sooner thing
ends soon. The enrolling a semester early trend which has become the new
trend, especially at UF, is ok, but that's as far as I want it to go. Let
these kids grow up!

;-)   Seriously, however good Taylor is in 8th grade, I don't think you're
doing him or us a favor to try to rush him to college just because we're in
a hurry to see him play. Four more years of coaching and physical
development will all be positive for him and just think how good he'll be
when he's actually ready for his freshman year.

My daughter started college in the fall of her junior year and went full
time her senior year.  With careful planning, it is possible for a kid to
complete his/her requirements by the beginning  of their junior year.  I
have raised this question before on another forum, "Would the NCAA allow a
student to play in college if they have met the core requirements but not
yet graduated from high school?  Also, many high schools will allow college
classes to double for high school graduation requirements (as my daughter
did-she graduated high school at the beginning of her sophomore year in
college).  Would the NCAA allow a student to go to college without their
core credits completed and practice (train) but not play until the
requirements are met?

Not sure what to make of this kid.  

 

 

Maybe next year will give us a true indication of what his stats are.  

 

I assume that kids have to go to high school for 3 and 1/2 years before they
can go to college?

Au contraire, Cee.  At last a reasoned head heard from.

 

Puberty is important.  He shouldn't miss it just for football.

I hate to say this, but, if he's 15 and only just now going into his
freshman year, it's not likely he is in any danger of excelling
academically.  :-/

I'm sure the NCAA wouldn't mind, because we all know how flexible they are!
;-)   Seriously, however good Taylor is in 8th grade, I don't think you're
doing him or us a favor to try to rush him to college just because we're in
a hurry to see him play. Four more years of coaching and physical
development will all be positive for him and just think how good he'll be
when he's actually ready for his freshman year.

My daughter started college in the fall of her junior year and went full
time her senior year.  With careful planning, it is possible for a kid to
complete his/her requirements by the beginning  of their junior year.  I
have raised this question before on another forum, "Would the NCAA allow a
student to play in college if they have met the core requirements but not
yet graduated from high school?  Also, many high schools will allow college
classes to double for high school graduation requirements (as my daughter
did-she graduated high school at the beginning of her sophomore year in
college).  Would the NCAA allow a student to go to college without their
core credits completed and practice (train) but not play until the
requirements are met?

Not sure what to make of this kid.  

 

 

Maybe next year will give us a true indication of what his stats are.  

 

I assume that kids have to go to high school for 3 and 1/2 years before they
can go to college?

Former UF player indicted on assault charge



The Associated Press

Published: Friday, July 31, 2009 at 9:29 p.m. 
Last Modified: Friday, July 31, 2009 at 9:29 p.m. 

 

JACKSON, Miss. - Mississippi football signee Jamar Hornsby will not play for
the Rebels after his indictment on a felony aggravated assault charge
Friday.

Coach Houston Nutt said in a news release the player has been released from
his national letter of intent. Hornsby, who was already on probation in
Florida for a credit card fraud conviction, pleaded not guilty in Oktibbeha
County, Miss., Circuit Court and had a trial date set for Nov. 2.

"I am releasing Jamar Hornsby and he will not be a member of our football
team," Nutt said in the release. "We wish him nothing but the best in the
future."

Neither Nutt nor Hornsby's attorney, Steve Farese Sr., returned messages
left by The Associated Press on Friday.

The 22-year-old safety from Jacksonville, Fla., faces up to 20 years in
prison. He also could be forced to serve four years in Florida for violating
his probation. Bill Cervone, the state attorney for the area around
Gainesville, where Hornsby previously played for the Gators, told The
Associated Press he will now alert a judge of the indictment.

"He doesn't have to be convicted (for a revocation to happen), but he's not
going to get revoked just because he's been charged," Cervone said. "The
commission of an offense that violates his probation has to be proven."

This is the second time Hornsby's been denied a chance to play in the
Southeastern Conference. Urban Meyer kicked him off the Florida team
following his conviction for using a dead friend's credit card to run up
thousands of dollars in charges.

He played in eight games and had five tackles in 2007, but was suspended for
five games for selling his complimentary tickets, a violation of NCAA rules.

Hornsby appeared to get his life and career back on track after playing at
East Mississippi Community College last year. He had 111 tackles and two
interceptions last season and was named the MVP of the Mississippi junior
college northern region.

He signed a national letter of intent to play for the Rebels in February,
but on March 1 he was arrested following a late-night fender bender in a
McDonald's drive-through in Starkville.

Police said he attacked the man who bumped into his rear bumper while
waiting in line. He was originally accused of using brass knuckles and
taking a small amount of money from the man, but the indictment did not
mention the weapon or the theft.

In an interview earlier this week, Farese said he hopes if the case gets to
trial a jury would be allowed to consider the lesser offense of simple
assault because no weapon was used. Hornsby also could accept a plea deal if
one is offered.

That may not make a difference when it comes to the judge's decision in
Florida, though. Cervone said a judge would likely take a "dim" view of any
violation.

"The point is you're on probation," he said. "Keep your nose clean. And if
he's convicted of anything he by definition did not keep his nose clean, and
we're only talking in degrees about how dirty did he get."

We got our tickets in the mail yesterday, so I'm ready to go!

For those who haven't seen them-

The tickets are larger than last year's version. The Gator head and the
opponent's logo are both embossed. This year's cover boys are Urban Meyer,
Brandon Spikes, Brandon James, Tim Tebow (for the FSU game, photographed at
last year's game with FSU end zone paint all over his jersey) and Albert. We
also get a helmet and a picture of the team running onto the field. A photo
of gloved hands holding the crystal ball is in the center of the ticket
sheet, not on an actual ticket. Tickets have your account number printed on
them this year, in addition to the bar code. 

 

I watched the beginning of the South Carolina game this morning on Sunshine.
I had forgotten how our offense really had a lot of trouble getting going in
that game. Thank goodness for the defense and special teams. Hopefully
nobody is expecting things to be easy this year.

Cheryl,

I am glad you joined.  I told you these Gators are very helpful and we
do extend all over the world.  I think I remember someone in Antarctica. How
wonderful it is to be anywhere in the world and get all this Gator
information.  

   Anyway, I live in Daytona Beach but have a cabin about 4 miles south of
Melrose and 6 miles northeast of Hawthorne, which is 20 miles east of Mecca.
Funny thing, when the 2000 census person was asking me what my address was
at the cabin, it quickly went through my mind that the mapmakers
(cartographers) have to get their information from somewhere; so I told her
that I lived on Lasseter Lane in Hawthorne, Fl.  

  Sure enough, if you "Google" or "Yahoo" and search "Lasseter Lane,
Hawthorne, Fl", it labels the road "Lasseter Ln", which is not a public
road. Now, the last laugh might be on me someday when the County decides
that it is a public road, since it is clearly on all maps, even the hardcopy
ones.

Go Gators,

Fran

Early wake-up call for UF practices



>From Gainesville SUN staff reports

Published: Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 10:01 p.m. 
Last Modified: Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 10:01 p.m. 

The Florida football team will do more before 8 a.m. than most people do all
day. Well, at least next week, and, you get to watch. But just for the first
two days.

Florida's first two days of training camp -- Aug. 6 and Aug. 7 -- will be
open to the public at the UF football practice field.

The season's first practice will take place Thursday from 6:10 a.m. until 8
a.m. and will consist only of returning players. Freshmen will practice
later that day from 5:10 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

On Friday, Aug. 7, returning players will again practice from 6:10 a.m.
until 8 a.m., while freshmen will take the field from 4:35 p.m. until 6 p.m.

Practice then moves to the UVS Fields, and will no longer be open to the
public and the media due to space constraints.

Fans are reminded that no video cameras are allowed at UF practices.

Wow!  I'm looking forward to the new season under Coach Spurrier.

 

Seriously!  Paula and I are now season ticket holders at South Carolina.50
yard liners.can you believe?  They only cost me $450 a seat.  Unbelievable
bargain!  

 

I couldn't get individual Florida game tickets from UF, so took another
route.  I'll be able to sell the single game tickets out of this package,
other than for Florida game of course, for a net profit on the deal and two
good seats for the game.  What a country!

 

Go Gators!

Spurrier jazzed about Gamecock changes


By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

Steve Spurrier has rarely had an offseason of change at South Carolina like
this one: Several new assistants, fewer off-field problems and a rising star
quarterback who has spent more time studying plays than working off a
suspension.

"Right now, we all like each other," Spurrier said Thursday. "That's what
you got to have, everybody's got to be on the same team."

Spurrier acknowledged it wasn't always that way his first four seasons with
the Gamecocks. Things started fast in 2005 with a record-setting
five-consecutive Southeastern Conference wins, including landmark victories
over Tennessee and Spurrier's former school Florida.South Carolina, though,
has struggled to finish off promising starts, particularly the last two
seasons.

In 2007 and 2008, the Gamecocks were 11-6 in August, September and October,
but 2-6 once November arrived.

Spurrier finally realized a season ago after South Carolina clunked to the
end with three straight defeats that things had to change. There are five
new assistants, including offensive line coach Eric Wolford who came from
Illinois to replace John Hunt, long a Spurrier favorite who been with him at
Florida, the Washington Redskins and the Gamecocks.

Spurrier also changed his strength and condition program, bringing in Craig
Fitzgerald when Mark Smith left for a short stay at Tennessee with coach
Lane Kiffin.

"As a group, we've just not got it done," Spurrier said. "Since I'm
responsible for the group, we're trying a new direction."

There's no doubt in Spurrier's mind the new assistants have sparked a
freshened attitude among the players, who he says have shown the best
offseason commitment since he took over. That's also led to a significant
drop in off-the-field issues for the Gamecocks this summer, Spurrier said.

"Well, when players do what they're expected to do, you don't have many off
the field situations," the coach said.

One area where Spurrier expects that to show the strongest is with starting
quarterback Stephen Garcia.

The sophomore was considered one of Spurrier's best-ever QB prospects when
he arrived on campus in January 2007. However, two arrests led to a
suspension before Garcia's first spring practice and he spent a fairly
unproductive season as a scout-team redshirt.

Garcia figured to have a shot at the starting job last spring. Again,
though, a run in with campus authorities cost him practice time and got him
suspended through most of the summer.

Garcia was way behind when fall drills began and never found any consistency
over eight games. He was the SEC's freshman of the week when he came off the
bench to lead South Carolina to a 24-17 victory at Kentucky. However,

Early wake-up call for UF practices

The Florida football team will do more before 8 a.m. than most people do all
day. Well, at least next week, and, you get to watch. But just for the first
two days.

Florida's first two days of training camp -- Aug. 6 and Aug. 7 -- will be
open to the public at the UF football practice field.

The season's first practice will take place Thursday from 6:10 a.m. until 8
a.m. and will consist only of returning players. Freshmen will practice
later that day from 5:10 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

On Friday, Aug. 7, returning players will again practice from 6:10 a.m.
until 8 a.m., while freshmen will take the field from 4:35 p.m. until 6 p.m.

Practice then moves to the UVS Fields, and will no longer be open to the
public and the media due to space constraints.

Fans are reminded that no video cameras are allowed at UF practices.

Tennessee's Lane Kiffin will take his recruiting message to South Florida
with an I-95 billboard


 
<http://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/content/sports/epaper/2009/07/30/0730te
nnessee_football.html/> 


Coming soon to a highway near you: Lane Kiffin. Tennessee has purchased
billboard space in South Florida and will put up an ad next week.

By  <mailto:ben_vo...@pbpost.com> BEN VOLIN Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

GAINESVILLE - Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin has a message that you'll see when
you drive down Interstate-95 to Fort Lauderdale: It's Time.

Those two words are not just the catchphrase of John Ward, the former
longtime Tennessee broadcaster.

"It's Time" is the new marketing slogan for Tennessee football as the
Volunteers transition from former coach Phil Fulmer to Kiffin. And even
though Knoxville is more than 800 miles away, Tennessee has bought space at
I-95 and Oakland Park Boulevard for a billboard that will go up early next
week and remain through Labor Day weekend.

"We wanted to make an effort to extend our brand beyond the Tennessee
geography," said Chris Fuller, associate athletic director for sales and
marketing. "We obviously recognize the value of Florida as it relates to
growing and building our program. We just wanted to let people know we're
here."

One of the goals of the 14- by 48-foot billboard - which includes photos of
Kiffin and defensive back Eric Berry - will be to aid UT recruiting. Kiffin
has made recruiting South Florida a priority since taking over the program
in December, and was able to steal Pahokee's Nu'Keese Richardson away from
the Florida Gators on national signing day.

"In Tennessee, as much as we love our state, we do not have a lot of great
high school players there. Those are the facts," Kiffin said. "We have to
create national attention immediately."

With that in mind, Tennessee is undergoing an aggressive marketing campaign
to help reverse the team's image after last year's 5-7 record, though the
marketing budget has remained constant at about $1 million, Fuller said. In
addition to the billboards, the Vols are producing their own videos for a
soon-to-be-released Tennessee football page on YouTube.

"It's really exciting. It gives us a chance to market Tennessee in a
different way," spokeswoman Tiffany Carpenter said. "We have gotten a lot of
support from coach Kiffin to ramp it up even more than what we had planned
on."

That means expanding the marketing base outside of the traditional markets
such as Nashville and Chattanooga. The Vols also have bought "It's Time"
billboards in Atlanta and Memphis.

Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, who has Miami roots, also has recognized the
importance of recruiting in South Florida and bought billboard space on area
highways a few years ago.

The Volunteers spent $25,000 on their billboard campaign, which also
includes billboards in Tennessee promoting Berry for the Heisman Trophy.
Fuller said the Florida board cost approximately one third of the total
bill.

The Vols have 246 season-ticket holders from Florida and a healthy alumni
base in South Florida, mostly retirees.

"I know that coach Kiffin isn't going to win any popularity contests in
Florida," Fuller said. "But we've got a good presence of people coming up
from Florida seven or eight times a year for games."

Of course, there's a good chance that a Kiffin billboard will invite
graffiti-tagging from Florida and Miami fans.

"That would not surprise me in the least," Fuller said with a laugh.

Leon,

  Where do you stay in the RV when you go to Starkville?  I have been to all
the SEC stadiums except Starkville, Nashville and Fayetteville. Going to
each stadium in the SEC is on my "bucket list".  A pretty worthwhile goal,
if you ask me or even if you don't ask me.  I want to do an SEC tour in an
RV one fall too.  Maybe all the GatorTalkers could plan an RV SEC tour.
Leon, would you be our point man?

 Im too afraid to say it. lol  But we cannot afford ANY slip ups. 

 

We are playing in Mississippi yet again.. and that always spells trouble for
some stupid reason.  Ill be talking to my doctor (who will understand since
he's a Gator too) about some Valium for that game.  I think we are
underestimating Tennessee some even though I hope they beat their hillbilly
behinds 150-0 and yes I am still doin my countdown.  We're at LSU and dont
think they dont have a LOT of motivation after we destroyed them...
Georgia... can never underestimate them especially when they are really
under the radar.   Arkansas (a game Ill be at)... will probably be better..

 

Aside from maybe two teams...  all our other opponents we should do fine
against... but they cant fall asleep.  I will say this though.. I feel
pretty confident... that Meyer and Tebow... will make sure they dont
underestimate anyone this go around.  And because of that reason... I know
what I want to say for my prediction... but Im too afraid to say it.

Key game: Oct. 31 vs. Georgia. Watch out. Georgia is really, really good,
better than last year good, and it has the potential to pull off the win in
the heated rivalry by using its great offensive line to slug the Gators in
the mouth. Florida can lose at LSU on October 10 and still accomplish its
national title goal, but it might not be able to get to Pasadena if it loses
to the Dawgs.

Wow!  I'm looking forward to the new season under Coach Spurrier.

 

Seriously!  Paula and I are now season ticket holders at South Carolina.50
yard liners.can you believe?  They only cost me $450 a seat.  Unbelievable
bargain!  

 

I couldn't get individual Florida game tickets from UF, so took another

other than for Florida game of course, for a net profit on the deal and two
good seats for the game.  What a country!

Spurrier jazzed about Gamecock changes


By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer 

Published: Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. 
Last Modified: Thursday, July 30, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. 

 

Steve Spurrier has rarely had an offseason of change at South Carolina like
this one: Several new assistants, fewer off-field problems and a rising star
quarterback who has spent more time studying plays than working off a
suspension.

"Right now, we all like each other," Spurrier said Thursday. "That's what
you got to have, everybody's got to be on the same team."

Spurrier acknowledged it wasn't always that way his first four seasons with
the Gamecocks. Things started fast in 2005 with a record-setting
five-consecutive Southeastern Conference wins, including landmark victories
over Tennessee and Spurrier's former school Florida. South Carolina, though,
has struggled to finish off promising starts, particularly the last two
seasons.

In 2007 and 2008, the Gamecocks were 11-6 in August, September and October,
but 2-6 once November arrived.

Spurrier finally realized a season ago after South Carolina clunked to the
end with three straight defeats that things had to change. There are five
new assistants, including offensive line coach Eric Wolford who came from
Illinois to replace John Hunt, long a Spurrier favorite who been with him at
Florida, the Washington Redskins and the Gamecocks.

Spurrier also changed his strength and condition program, bringing in Craig
Fitzgerald when Mark Smith left for a short stay at Tennessee with coach
Lane Kiffin.

"As a group, we've just not got it done," Spurrier said. "Since I'm
responsible for the group, we're trying a new direction."

There's no doubt in Spurrier's mind the new assistants have sparked a
freshened attitude among the players, who he says have shown the best
offseason commitment since he took over. That's also led to a significant
drop in off-the-field issues for the Gamecocks this summer, Spurrier said.

"Well, when players do what they're expected to do, you don't have many off
the field situations," the coach said.

One area where Spurrier expects that to show the strongest is with starting
quarterback Stephen Garcia.

The sophomore was considered one of Spurrier's best-ever QB prospects when
he arrived on campus in January 2007. However, two arrests led to a
suspension before Garcia's first spring practice and he spent a fairly
unproductive season as a scout-team redshirt.

Garcia figured to have a shot at the starting job last spring. Again,
though, a run in with campus authorities cost him practice time and got him
suspended through most of the summer.

Garcia was way behind when fall drills began and never found any consistency
over eight games. He was the SEC's freshman of the week when he came off the
bench to lead South Carolina to a 24-17 victory at Kentucky. However, given
the start in the Outback Bowl against Iowa, Garcia threw three interceptions
and looked awful in a 31-10 battering.

So Spurrier brought in former Florida passer G.A. Mangus as quarterback
coach, as much to mentor Garcia as to teach him the ball coach's complex
offense. So far, it's working.

Mangus says Garcia has been a willing sponge, readily soaking up as much
information as possible to bring to the field this fall.

The two talk each day, Mangus said, and Garcia understands the work he'd
have to put in "if he wants to be great."

Spurrier hasn't let his starting quarterback talk to reporters yet, but on
Garcia's Twitter page earlier this month, he said, "Offense is going to
surprise."

Spurrier, 64, says the attitude around Gamecock football has him juiced
about South Carolina finally breaking through to the SEC success they've
seldom experienced before.

"We're looking forward to a new era of Carolina football," he said.

Things are spiraling out of control. I think I have become lost in a world
of electronic madness. 

One of my sons informed me this week that my cell phone has become obsolete
and I must head down to the Cell Phone store and get a phone that is
contemporary with the time. 

I pointed out that the fancy Razor/Slim line phone with camera built in that
he made me trade my perfectly good flip-top Motorola cell phone for two
years ago still works perfectly fine.. Well, except for the camera thing.
Never could figure that out.. Even the few times I actually did take
pictures I couldn't figure what to do with them and gave up. 

That is except when I would push the wrong button and take a video of the
ceiling or my feet. 

Seems the issue is that I am unable to text with the tiny little 3 character
buttons. "Hi, son," would come out looking like, "Gh Qmo." My grandkids
have even spoken to my wife about Poppa's crazy text messages. Give me a
break. Whatever happened to actually talking on a phone? Isn't that what
they were invented for? 

They want me to get one of those phones that you can turn upside down and
sideways and has a typewriter keyboard with keys about one-eighth the size
of my pinky finger. 

One of my four sons is a realtor whose real occupation is fly fishing. "Way
to go, son." 

Or in my text language, "Xbz um Io, rmo." 

We were floating the Yakima River in his guide quality drift boat south of
Ellensburg ,  Washington . We were miles from anything remotely resembling
civilization. Rock canyon walls were on either side of us. Bear with me as I
try to explain this strange thing. 

His "Blackberry" rang. It was blue and I asked him why it wasn't called a
Blueberry. He shook his head with that "dealing with an elder" despair look
I get a lot these days. It was another realtor who called to say that the
sellers he represented had agreed to my son's client's changes and he had
the signed documents in hand. 

My son told him to FAX the papers to his office and he would get them signed
and Faxed back, to close the deal that morning. A minute later the phone
rang and he hit a few buttons and looked over the FAX, now on theYakima
River   with us. 

He then called his clients and told them he was Faxing the papers to them to
sign and asked them to FAX them back to his office. While he was waiting, he
hooked into a fat rainbow and was just releasing this 22 inch beauty as his
phone rang again with the signed FAX from his clients. 

He called the other realtor and told him he was sending the signed papers
back by FAX. The deal was closed. He smiled and just said, "You are a little
behind the times, Dad." I guess I am. 

I thought about the sixty million dollar a year business I ran with 1800
employees, all without a Blackberry that played music, took videos, pictures
and communicated with Facebook and Twitter. 

I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my seven kids, their

It was Paula and my 25th anniversary trip.  It was a memorable one.  On our
anniversary we hiked to Abrahms Falls in Cades Cove.  About a mile into the
trail we encountered a large male bear who entered the trail and began to
walk toward us about 40 yards ahead.  I blew my whistle and he headed down
into Abrahms Creek and disappeared like a good bear into the woods.  How did
that song go?  'Don't go into the woods today, you'd be in for a big
surprise.'  Just before reaching the falls I fell off the trail and held
onto a small rhododendron bush until Paula could pull me up and save my
life.  This has become one of her new roles, lately.  Anyway, we had lunch
at the falls and then drove into Gatlinburg for a dinner of steak and
mountain trout at the Black Bear Grill overlooking a stream.  We both signed
up for 25 more.

Maybe it was in 97 in celebration of the national championship? Perhaps some

Could Lane Kiffin's new billboard in south Florida look like this?

 

By Robbie Andreu
Gainesville SUN Staff writer

Published: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 6:28 p.m. 
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 at 6:28 p.m. 

 

New Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin invaded Florida last February and
stole a high-profile recruit from the Gators when he talked Pahokee wide
receiver Nu'Keese Richardson out of his UF commitment to sign with the Vols.

That success has compelled Kiffin to try and establish more of a Tennessee
presence in the talent-rich state of Florida.

At last week's SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala., Kiffin said a Tennessee
billboard will be going up in south Florida in the next few weeks.

"There will be a billboard going up there in the next month that I think
you'll be excited to see, that will give you something to write about that
will help us, too," Kiffin said.

Kiffin's comment has spawned a great deal of speculation as to what the
billboard will say.

Will it be promoting UT football?

Or will it possibly be taking shots at Urban Meyer and Florida?

Kiffin is being secretive about it.

"I'm not going to give you any more than that," he said last week. "Got to
give you something to look forward to."

Tennessee isn't the only SEC football program putting up billboards. Auburn
is doing the same in Alabama to promote a new era under new coach Gene
Chizik.

As for Florida, there are no plans to put up any billboards. Winning two
national championships in the past three years has given the Gators plenty
of exposure.

Be careful.  If you are a Gator Booster, you may not be allowed to call by
the NCAA.  Check with the UFAA.

Yes, Oliver, you are right.  Contact the UF Alumni Association and they will
help you set up a Start Up meeting.  All she has to do is agree to host the
meeting, find a place that will host the Peoria club where they can watch
games, and the UF Alum Asso will send out invites to Gator grads in the area
and BEHOLD:  a new gator club will emerge.

 

Same for everyone else who reads this.  BTW, the official sites for Gator
Club meetings receive the codes for viewing the UF feeds of athletic events
by satellite.

Another thought came to me.  She should set up a website for a local gator
club - facebook, meetup, her own website - whatever.  then go have business
cards printed with her name, email, website URL and Des Moines Gator Club on
it.  Then carry the cards with her at all times to hand out to people that
are interested, whenever she sees someone wearing a gator shirt or hat.  She
can also wear her gator shirt/hat a lot and hand out cards then also.  

 

I think if she contacts the local sports bars first - she might find an
existing gator club.

  I actually wrote Star at the UF Alumni Asso and asked about a new club.
Facebook might be another angle and also the GNN part of the UF Alumni
Association, which is like a social networking site, I think.  Hey, this is
the way clubs get started.  

   She is my Ex's little sister, and the poor girl has been a Gator fan for
about 20 years or more and had never been to a game.  Two years ago I took
her to FSU game. I thought she was going to pass out when they ran on the
field. She stood up in the middle of the first quarter and spread her arms
and said, "I have met my people" .  

   I love to take people to their first game, it is an experience of a
lifetime.

1. Contact the local sports bars to see which ones have a gator club

 

2. Contact the UF alumni association and tell them that you would like to to
start a club and see if they will hel by sending out notices

Georgia... can never underestimate them especially when they are really

Key game: Oct. 31 vs. Georgia. Watch out. Georgia is really, really good,
better than last year good, and it has the potential to pull off the win in
the heated rivalry by using its great offensive line to slug the Gators in
the mouth. Florida can lose at LSU on October 10 and still accomplish its
national title goal, but it might not be able to get to Pasadena if it loses

this plastic wrap off my windows?

Anything beats Otis Boggs over the radio.  This is not a hit on Otis.  He
was a beloved Gator broadcaster in the days when Gator broadcasts were rare.

My favorite Otis quote came from a home game:  "He's at the 40; he's at the
50; he's at the 40; he's at the 30...would you look at that son-of-a-bitch

University of Florida students might want to save some of their beer money
to supplement their incomes after they graduate.

A new survey <http://www.payscale.com/best-colleges/top-party-colleges.asp>
finds that UF lags behind several other universities deemed to be party
schools in the earning potential of graduates. While the Princeton Review
ranks UF as nations top party school
<http://www.gainesville.com/article/20080729/NEWS/386204299> , the survey
places the income of Gator grads behind five other schools on the same list.

UF graduates with bachelors degrees earn average starting salaries of
$47,300 and mid-career slaries of $88,400, according to the survey.

PayScale, a Web site that collects salary data, put together the
information. The numbers come from 1.2 million site users who reported their
education and salary information over the past year, according to the New
York Times
<http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/20/do-elite-colleges-produce-the-

There was a thread on GatorCountry asking if people thought our defense
would hold our opponents to under 130 points against us for the regular
season.  I would like to have a Gatornet contest this year predicting the
points against us for the season.  The winner is the one closest to the
correct number.

 

I will start.  I predict 100.  (The 2006 and 2008 teams allowed in the
180s.)

Okay... So I am feeling a bit curious about where everyones feelings about
the upcoming season which is only just over a month away.

 

What are your expectations for the 2009 Gators?

 

Would anything less than another appearance for a National Championship mean
the season was a dissappointment?  Or would they have to win it all? Or
would they have to go undefeated (like we KNOW Tebow and Co. really really
wants).

 

Consider this... 

 

Pros

- the majority of the Defense returns for another season.  So far no serious
injuries keeping anyone from playing (that I have seen).

- Charlie Strong is still a Gator (till O'leary is fired at UCF)

- Tebow, a crucial piece (experience, leadership, etc etc), is back and so
far as we know.. healthy   

- Spikes is back, most experienced player and crucial leader on the D...
He'll be important to identify and build others up to fill that role in the
coming years.

- (Fill in the blank)

- (Fill in the blank)

 

Cons

- Mullen is gone... and we have a New offensive coordinator.. however, he
has been in the program as our O-line coach.  Yes... I know they all game
plan... but can he make the necessary snap adjustments when/if the situation
were to call for it?  I guess time will tell... Meyer trusts him or else I
dont think he would have put him in that position.

- We have a new QB coach ... who is working on Tebow and his throwing
motion.  We will see if this is a help. or a hindrance.  I
know its to (partially) help Tebow prepare for the NFL (and to really
develop Brantley) Im just worried about not letting Tebow... be Tebow.   Im
just concerned about how Tebow is adjusting to the changes.

- Percy is gone... who's gonna be the leading rusher/receiver?  I dont think
we can risk an injury to Tebow should he get injured.  We need him near or
at 100% the entire season.  I think Meyer and Co learned a valuable lesson
about that in 2007.  Demps, Rainey, James, Hernandez and Co all seem ready
to step up and be Tebows back up. We will see.

- Lots of good talk about Brantley... but a) Is he really gonna be healthy
enough... and b) if he is and something happens to Tebow... is he ready to
take over the reigns.  Only more playing time will show us that.

- (Fill in the blank)

- (Fill in the blank)

 

 

Since Im used to it...  Lemme have it.  :-P

ESPN's Erin Andrews vows to prosecute video spies 

Lawyers for ESPN reporter Erin Andrews are threatening legal action against
whoever's responsible for videotaping her nude in a hotel room and posting
the video on the Internet.

Garrett Hacking Erin Andrews, ESPN 

 

The video of the 31-year-old Atlanta resident was taken through the hotel
room's peephole.

"While alone in the privacy of her hotel room, Erin Andrews was
surreptitiously videotaped without her knowledge or consent," said Marshall
B. Grossman of Bingham McCutchen LLP. "She was the victim of a crime and is
taking action to protect herself and help ensure that others are not
similarly violated in the future. Although the perpetrator or perpetrators
of this criminal act have not yet been identified, when they are identified
she intends to bring both civil and criminal charges against them and
against anyone who has published the material."

Meanwhile, thousands of Internet voyeurs have themselves fallen prey to
hackers, who spread a virus on bogus sites claiming to have the video.

"Hackers are no slacks when it comes to taking advantage of a hot Internet
search trend. And they have been quick to set up bogus Web pages claiming to
contain the video footage of Ms. Andrews in her hotel room," Graham Cluley
of the anti-virus software company Sophos told USA Today.

It's about 20 minutes from our summer place in NC. I'll be up there next
week, we just missed each other.

 

If you head back in that direction, please let me know. 

 

There are a lot of beautiful hikes, canyons and waterfalls that aren't on

Thanks, Randoo!  Why do I always start looking for my tournament darts when
I first see this every summer?  Does anyone else think it would make a great
dart game?

 

Sorry I disappeared from posting without a word for about 3 weeks, but Paula
and I were up in the NC/Tennessee mountains with the Gator motorhome.saw a
lot of bears and Vols.  Only the bears were scary, though.  The Vols all
bowed and scrapped appropriately.

 

Randy missed my posting so much he thought I had tried to die again and gave
a call yesterday, which was VERY thoughtful of him.  Naturally, I said, "Not
yet, Randy!"  He and I are both the sensitive types.  Any guy with a photo
of Dr. Phil on his Facebook page HAS to be sensitive, you know.

 

Anyway, Paula and I had a great time and I'm much stronger as a result of
all the up and down hiking.  This will interest Oliver: we hiked over 24
miles of mountain trails while we were up there.  The last one, last
Thursday, was an 8-miler with an altitude gain of over 2,000 feet to watch
water pour over Ramsey Cascades in the Greenbrier section of the Smokys.
AWESOME, baby!

 

Anyway, we camped at Julian Price Memorial Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway at
3,400 feet near Blowing Rock, NC the first week; then, Elkmont at about
2,000 feet in the Smokys near Gatlinburg.  We ran into a lot of Gators in
both places.  Of course, Elkmont was overflowing with adoring Vols.  I, of
course, had out all my Gator flags, windsocks, lawn ornaments, chairs, hats,
shirts and my Gator cell phone ring tone.  One Vol even said, "That was a
neat ring tone.  It sounds familiar; what is it?"  I was happy to tell him
that it was the UF Alma Mater and asked if he would like to hear it again.

 

It was Paula and my 25th anniversary trip.  It was a memorable one.  On our
anniversary we hiked to Abrahms Falls in Cades Cove.  About a mile into the
trail we encountered a large male bear who entered the trail and began to
walk toward us about 40 yards ahead.  I blew my whistle and he headed down
into Abrahms Creek and disappeared like a good bear into the woods.  How did
that song go?  'Don't go into the woods today, you'd be in for a big
surprise.'  Just before reaching the falls I fell off the trail and held
onto a small rhododendron bush until Paula could pull me up and save my
life.  This has become one of her new roles, lately.  Anyway, we had lunch
at the falls and then drove into Gatlinburg for a dinner of steak and
mountain trout at the Black Bear Grill overlooking a stream.  We both signed
up for 25 more.

 

It's good to be back.  If I didn't have about 200 emails to go through I
hunt the darts.

Now why would this guy want to leave Arkansas for Florida after all these
years?  And, why wouldn't Arkansas try to keep him?  He's not becoming the
head coach.  It just doesn't make sense.

Booth has also coached pole vaulter Mark Klee and shot put-discus standouts
Marty Kobza and Scott Lofquist, among others. At ULL, he had standouts
Hollis Conway and Neil Guidry.

Last Modified: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 11:32 p.m. 

 

Record: 35-5. 

The stars: The Oh-Fours came back for another try at a national title and
they delivered; Al Horford was a beast underneath; Corey Brewer refined his
3-point shot to become a weapon; Taurean Green managed almost every game he
played in that year; Lee Humphrey set the NCAA Tournament record for 3s
made.

What they did: With all of the pressure on them to repeat, the Gators did
just that. In the process, they won the SEC title and celebrated by cutting
down the nets. The reason this team is No. 1 is because they had to deal
with so much whether it was pushy agents, media spotlight or teams gunning
for them. And, of course, there was that special night when the football
team was honored on the court and passed the torch of burden on to the
basketball team. This team was so good it never trailed in three blowout
wins at the SEC Tournament, then knocked off UCLA and Ohio State in the
Final Four.

Big moment: The toughest game for Florida in the 2007 NCAA Tournament came
against Purdue in the second round in New Orleans. The Gators trailed at the
half and were in a tight game late thanks to the Boilermakers' Carl Landry.
But Horford came up big down the stretch making three baskets inside and
flexed his muscles for the cameras during the Gators' 74-67 win. This was
the moment when you could see the tournament experience from the year before
paying off.

Fun fact: No wonder the Atlanta Hawks jumped all over Horford in the NBA
Draft that year. In six games in the tournament, the Gator center collected
68 rebounds setting a UF record for rebounds in the Big Dance in one season.

Quote: "You think about Taurean Green and Lee Humphrey your starting
backcourt and they both were terrific. I think everybody looks at the
frontline but you know here are two really good solid players who played a
lot better than people really expected or imagined or thought they could." -
Billy Donovan

The stars: Quarterback Tim Tebow seems to have the ability to will his team
to victories. But he had plenty of help from wide receivers Percy Harvin and
Louis Murphy and the emergence of small and speedy tailback Jeff Demps and
Chris Rainey. This is a team that could also win with defense, which it
showed in the national title game. The defense was led by junior middle
linebacker Brandon Spikes and a young secondary (Joe Haden, Janoris Jenkins,
Ahmad Black and Major Wright) that made a quantum leap from the year before.

What they did: The Gators, including Tebow, looked a bit out of sorts
offensively through the first few games of the season. An upset loss at home
seemed to wake a sleeping giant. From that point on, Florida went 9-0 and
outscored the opposition by an average score of 49.3-13.0 to earn a spot in
the BCS Championship Game against Oklahoma. In the title game, the UF
defense diffused what some considered the be the greatest offense in the
history of college football in a 24-14 victory. It was UF's second national
title in three years and the third in school history.

Big moment: It came about 40 minutes after the only loss of the season to
Ole Miss, when a tearful Tebow stood in front of the media in the postgame
press conference and delivered his emotional promise that no one would play
harder than he and his teammates would for the rest of the season. From that
point on, the Gators were unbeatable.

Fun fact: Tebow's now-famous promise has been immortalized at UF, where it
is now on a plaque hanging on a wall at the entrance to the new football
complex in the south end zone of The Swamp.

Quote: "The professionalism. I just keep going back to that, the way they
handled themselves off the field and on the field, and practices were all
about teaching and getting guys to go hard. That's a sign of a mature team.
That's kind of a model. I'm not sure I've been around one like that." -
Urban Meyer

Florida Gators get plenty of love in Phil Steele's 2009 preview


by Ben Volin 

Just got my handy 328-page Phil Steele's College Football 2009 Preview in
the mail this weekend, and not surprisingly, Steele loves the Gators.

How so? Let's count the ways:

1. Phil's BCS champion: Florida (for the second year in a row)

2. "They are the most experienced defending National Champ in a long time
and not only are they the only team in the country that ranks in all 8 of my
individual units but they are in the top 10 in all 8 and in the top 2 in SIX
of the eight! For the 2nd straight year I will pick Florida but this time
they figure to be the preseason #1 team by almost everyone (unlike '08)."

3. BCS championship matchup, January 7, Pasadena, Calif.: Florida vs. Texas
(for the record, I agree on both teams)

4. Phil's preseason First Team All-Americans: Tim Tebow, Carlos Dunlap,
Brandon Spikes, Joe Haden, Brandon James (kick return).

5. According to Steele, Florida has the: Best quarterback duo in the
country; second-best offensive line in the country (behind USC), second-best
defensive line in the country (behind Oklahoma); second-best linebacking
corps (behind Penn State); second-best defensive backfield in the country
(behind USC); and second-best special teams unit in the country (behind
Boise State).

6. Steele ranks the SEC as the nation's toughest conference for 2009,
followed by Big 12, Pac-10, Big Ten, ACC, Big East and Mountain West.

7. Number of Gators named to First, Second, Third or Fourth-Team All-SEC: 15

8. "This year's squad has 18 returning starters and is the best that Meyer
has put on the field. Despite the fact that their SEC schedule is tougher
with just three SEC games in The Swamp, all 9 sets of my power rankings call
for an unbeaten season and the Gators may have the best offense, defense and
special teams in the country." 

9. The No. 2-ranked freshman receiver in the country? Andre Debose.

10. The No. 1-ranked freshman offensive lineman in the entire country?
Xavier Nixon. Nick Alajajian is No. 11.

11. The No. 2-ranked freshman linebacker? Jelani Jenkins. Jon Bostic is No.
14.

12. Steele ranked Florida's 2009 recruiting class as the sixth-best in the
nation (but fourth in the SEC).

13. Steele has Dunlap and Spikes as top-10 NFL draft picks in 2010. He has
Tebow as the 14th-best draft-eligible player, with Haden at 26.

14. Steele projects Florida to be No. 1 in the nation in rush defense, pass
defense, points against and total defense in 2009.

15. Finally, Steele predicts Tebow will win the Heisman Trophy. "Tebow got
my vote last year and while he had the most 1st place votes and outplayed
the Heisman winner Sam Bradford in the bowl, he was just #3 in the voting.
He put the Gators on his shoulders after the loss to Ole Miss and if the
vote was done after the bowls he would have clearly won. Archie Griffin (the
only two time winner) should get ready for some company."

Record: 10-0.

The stars: Tracy Caulkins was only a freshman but was well on her way to
becoming the most dominant swimmer in Florida history; Kathy Treible went on
to become one of only three UF swimmers to win 12 NCAA events; Megan Neyer
never lost an NCAA diving event during her career as a Gator.

What they did: In the first NCAA women's swimming and diving championship,
Florida dominated in its home pool. The Gators easily outdistanced
second-place Stanford 505-383. Caulkins grabbed five individual titles while
her sister Amy also claimed one. Treible won three individual events and two
relays as Florida was never threatened by the field.

Big moment: Neyer was only a freshman but showed no freshman jitters. She
won both the one-meter and three-meter diving events to get Florida's rout
going. It was the first of her four sweeps in NCAA competition.

Fun fact: Of the top 10 teams in the first NCAA swimming and diving
championships, four were from the SEC and four were from the Pac-10. The
other two were from the ACC.

Quote: "We had a ton of depth starting with Tracy at the top. We had a lot
of talent and that year we were able to put it all together to win. With the
talent we had, we probably should have won more." - Kathy Treible-Slaton

moment to let you know how much we appreciate your loyal and generous
support.  With these uncertain economic times, we realize that you are
making some sacrifices to financially support our athletic program and we
can't thank you enough for that.  

It was another extremely successful year for the Gators, highlighted by the
football team capturing their second national championship in three years,
the softball and men's indoor and outdoor track and field teams each
finishing as the national runner up, and football, volleyball, soccer,
women's swimming and diving, softball and women's outdoor track and field
all winning SEC championships.  Florida also swept the SEC All-Sports
competition taking the overall, men's and women's titles.

Simply stated, none of these successes would be possible without your
commitment to Gator athletics.  It is your support that helps us win
championships and provide an education for over 575 Gator student-athletes.

Thank you for your continued investment in the Gator athletic program.  We
hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you this fall.

Go Gators!

[edit
<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Immanence&action=edit§ion=5>
] Dzogchen

Tantric <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tantra>  Buddhism
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism>  and Dzogchen
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzogchen>  posit a non-dual basis for both
experience and reality that could be considered an exposition of a
philosophy of immanence that has a history on the subcontinent of India from
the early common era to the present. A paradoxical non-dual
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondualism>  awareness or rigpa
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigpa>  (Tibetan
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_language>  - vidya in Sanskrit
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanskrit_language> ) - is said to be the 'self
perfected state' of all beings. Scholarly works differentiate these
traditions from monism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monism> . The non-dual
is said to be not immanent and not transcendent, not neither, nor both. One
classical exposition is the Madhyamaka
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhyamaka>  refutation of extremes that the
philosopher-adept Nagarjuna <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagarjuna>
propounded.

Exponents of this non-dual tradition emphasize the importance of a direct
experience of non-duality through both meditative practice and philosophical
investigation. In one version, one maintains awareness as thoughts arise and
dissolve within the 'field' of mind <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind> ,
one does not accept or reject them, rather one lets the mind wander as it
will until a subtle sense of immanence dawns. Vipassana or insight is the
integration of one's 'presence of awareness' with that which arises in mind.
Non-duality or rigpa is said to be the recognition that both the quiet, calm
abiding state as found in samatha and the movement or arising of phenomena
as found in vipassana are not separate. In this way it could be stated that
Dzogchen is a method for the recognition of a 'pure immanence' analogous to
what Deleuze <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilles_Deleuze>  theorized about.

The vacating wins penalty is a joke.  The schools won't count those wins as
losses, they just disappear.  The schools who were beaten by players who
were cheating, don't get to count it as a win, it is still a loss.

So Bama will record an 0-2 season for 2005, Prothro will still have broken
leg and the Gators still have a loss.  Given that this happened at time when
they were still on probation, makes it laughable that they aren't seeing
significant scholarship reductions.

Same goes for SOW, at least there, we get to hear ole Bob whine and moan.

In the ongoing dinner theater known as Being Alabama only the actors change.
The roles remain the same. 

Bear's School went on NCAA probation Thursday for the fourth time in 14
years. Something about a textbook scandal. The details aren't really
important. There are major violations, but only because Alabama is to the
rulebook what Michael Vick is to pit bulls. A constant, menacing threat. 

The question has become when aren't there major violations in Tuscaloosa?
The latest penalties mean that 'Bama has been eligible to be an NCAA repeat
offender since 1995. Alabama has been committing major violations while
serving time for major violations. 


Seriously, the Tide need to clean up their act. (Getty Images)

 


Seriously, the Tide need to clean up their act.(Getty Images)

 

One slip-up during the five-year repeat violator statute of limitations is
considered serious. It makes a program eligible for the NCAA death penalty.
At Alabama, they scoff. It's a Crimson and White Groundhog Day every day. 

By the time Alabama's latest NCAA repeat offender clock stops ticking it
will be 2014. That's 19 years of -- as one infractions committee chairman
once put it -- "staring down the barrel of a gun" for the program. Nineteen
years of being on death row. 

If this is staring down the barrel of a gun, then 'Bama is Dirty Harry. Make
the Tide's day. Alabama's romp through the rules and regs is a clear
indicator that SMU's death penalty in 1987 will be the one and only such
punishment ever handed down. The NCAA will never again drop the hammer
because in the Yellowhammer State we've seen that nobody does it better. Or
worse. 

And keeps playing games. 

. Alabama <http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/11844925>  must
vacate victories

Any other school would get a swat on the butt for what was announced
Thursday. Apparently players were using leftover textbook money from their
scholarships to buy books for friends and relatives. Big whoop. 

Alabama, though, is being forced to vacate victories under Mike Shula
(2005-06) and Nick Saban (2007). Could be as many as 23. This isn't Bobby
Bowden controversial. Some Tide fans will likely say good riddance to
forgettable 6-7 and 7-6 seasons in '06 and '07. 

Once again, big whoop. 

There seems to be, though, a new age of wrongdoing. Some sort of anarchy has
broken out. We knew the NCAA enforcement staff was outmanned. Now it is
being outsmarted. The NCAA cops apparently sleep. The coaches? Not so sure.
They are looking for ways to cut corners whether their compliance directors
like it or not. 

A couple of years ago the coaches were up in arms about a ban on texting.
Now we've got Twitter, and it's legal, until the next technology evolves to
hound recruits. 

Saban got around a spring ban on head coaches meeting face-to-face with
recruits by installing a webcam.

NCAA places Alabama football program on probation

Last Modified: Thursday, June 11, 2009 at 7:03 p.m. 

 

---snip, snip, snip--

As a result, the NCAA ruled the football team must vacate any wins in which
any of those seven players took part during 2005-07. Alabama said that
pending a successful appeal, the decision would cost the program 21 wins,
including the 2005 Cotton Bowl victory over Texas Tech and an upset of
Florida earlier that season.

Fla. attorney general: NCAA must release letter


By BRENT KALLESTAD Associated Press Writer

The NCAA must release copies of its response to Florida State's appeal of
penalties stemming from academic violations, Florida Attorney General Bill
McCollum said Friday.

In a letter addressed to NCAA president Myles Brand, the attorney general
said failure to release the contents of the letter or provide access to them
could result in a $1,000 fine, a year in jail, or both.

"In as much as the NCAA has provided the letter in format which the
university may only view, but not download or otherwise copy, it appears
that the NCAA is therefore acting as the custodian of this record on behalf
of the university," McCollum wrote. "A lack of physical custody of a
document does not excuse Florida State University from its obligations under
Florida law."

NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn said it had received the letter, but hadn't
had a chance to review it. She said Thursday that private correspondence
between the NCAA and its member institutions has long been established to
maintain the integrity of investigations.

Officials from Florida State did not immediately returns calls Friday
seeking comment on McCollum's letter.

Several news organizations, including The Associated Press, have formally
requested a copy of the NCAA response to an appeal of sanctions resulting
from an academic cheating scandal at the school that would strip it of wins
in 10 sports, including victories achieved by longtime football coach Bobby
Bowden.

"The records request is therefore all the more important for the people of
Florida, who wish to obtain vital information about a university matter in
which have invested time, money and a sense of honor," McCollum wrote.

Bowden could possibly lose as many as 14 of his career victories if the
penalty from an academic cheating case sticks. That would make it difficult
for Bowden to compete with Penn State's Joe Paterno in their race for most
victories among major college coaches. Paterno begins the 2009 season with
383, one more than Bowden.

McCollum, who is a Republican candidate for governor in 2010, said Florida
statutes establishes a right of access to public records in plain and
unequivocal terms.

"I urge your compliance," he concluded.

I don't think that Ole Miss will be bad - but I doubt they will be that
great either.  Last year - they were flying under the radar and people did
not take them seriously.  This year they will be taken seriously.

Would be surprised if a team other than Florida is ranked No. 1 in The
Associated Press preseason college football poll due out in mid-August.

Most preseason magazines worth a darn have the Gators No. 1.

The Sporting News preseason annual, always a keeper, has UF at No. 1,
followed by Texas, Oklahoma, Southern Cal, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Oregon,
LSU, Ohio State and Oklahoma State.

Athlon's college football Web site has its own countdown, with its preseason
top pick due out Thursday. Guess who No. 1 is?

Athlon's list from No. 2 to No. 10: Oklahoma, Texas, USC, Ohio State,
Alabama, Penn State, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State and Ole Miss.

You are right, Keith.  There were certain required classes that separated

WOW.  

 

How attitudes change with time.  When I was at UF - UF was proud of the fact
that they flunked out so many students.  They were proud of the fact that
only 1/3 of the students graduated and 2/3 of the students flunked out.
Made them appear to be a better school.

UF gets kudos for top graduation rate

The University of Florida graduates more than 80 percent of its students
within six years, the top rate in the state.

A recent study
<http://www.aei.org/docLib/Diplomas%20and%20Dropouts%20final.pdf>  by the
American Enterprise Institute ranks UF's graduation rate as second-best
among highly competitive schools in the south. Another state school, New
College of Florida, was rated second-worst in the same category for its 56
percent graduation rate.

Some of the state's private universities fared even worse. Edwards Waters
College, a historically black college in Jacksonville, ranked last in the
state with a 9 percent graduation rate.

The study comes as UF tries to improve its graduation rate even more. As I
reported <http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090528/ARTICLES/905281023>
last week, UF officials say ensuring students graduate in a timely manner
opens spots for others as the university reduces its enrollment.

2009-06-04 Thread A. Leon Polhill
I know what you mean.  Our daughter, Diane, played varsity soccer for
Lincoln High School in Tallahassee and I could never stand watching her team
cry whenever they lost, so I turned off the TV as soon as the last strike
was called in the Gator softball game.  I knew what was coming.

 

It's my problem.

 

I love the way women celebrate with each other when they win, but the crying
gets to me.  Come to think of it, they cry when they win, too.

Rainy reception for softball


Gainesville SUN Staff Report

Published: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at 4:36 p.m. 
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 at 4:36 p.m. 

 

It was a rainy reception for the University of Florida softball team this
afternoon at Katie Seashole Pressly Softball Stadium.

The Florida softball team's magical season ended two wins short of a
national championship Tuesday night with the 3-2 loss to Washington in the
Women's College World Series title round in Oklahoma City, Okla.

The 2009 team (63-5) set 39 records during its first-ever run to the WCWS
championship series.

Senior pitcher Stacey Nelson ended her career with 136 wins, which is sixth
in NCAA record books, second in Southeastern Conference history and first in
the Florida books. Her 1,116 career strikeouts ranked fourth in SEC history
and first at UF.

Florida ended the season with a .323 batting average, a .543 slugging
percentage and .423 on-base percentage, all bests in UF history. Three
Gators recorded eight single-season records, including runs (69, Aja
Paculba), home runs (18, Francesca Enea) and slugging percentage (.713,
Kelsey Bruder).

The senior class set 17 individual career records in its four years.
