Rick, If this were a service you were paying for, I would be able to understand your frustration, but since this is a FREE service provided by people with full-time jobs and family responsibilities as a labor of love because of their love for the gators, then I'm at a loss as to your rude email to Shane. I have explained to Shane that your email is an example of some of the heat that Jerry and I have taken for years from people who forget that this service is free and have unrealistic expectations of what they should receive for their FREE membership. I will tell you the same thing I have told others... It's obvious you are an unsatisfied customer, and since the service is already free, I can't offer you a refund. Therefore, if you are THAT unhappy, maybe you should just unsubscribe. If you can't figure out how to unsubscribe, drop me an email and I'll do it for you. Thank you, Randy Lyons GatorNet Administrator -- Original message -- From: Shane Ford [EMAIL PROTECTED] I QUIT! You find some one else who has more time than me, like rhillyard here, to do this. Ungrateful... I have 3 small kids (all under 2) at home and I don't always have time to sit down in front of the PC on weekends to post articles the minute they pop up on the website. I can do that during the week A LOT easier than I can on weekends. If I'm a day late or a little later in the day on the weekends, is it really that big of a deal? Obviously to some people it is! I had over 400 emails on Sunday to sift through and I had less than 30 minutes while they were napping to do it in. On top of all the text editing I have to do to get these in the proper format, I didn't have time to see who posted what from the Gainesville Sun for me. I thought I was helping, but if I'm causing people like this to have a coronary then ask him to do it. He obviously has the time and is looking for some thing to do to help out the group. I QUIT!

Florida had 11 players run the ball - six were running backs - for 255 yards in the 56-10 drubbing of Hawaii. And all of it happened without UF's most consistent home-run threat from out of the backfield in junior receiver Percy Harvin. The first touchdown of the game even came off of a 1-yard run by running back/receiver Brandon James (three carries for 16 yards) of all people. The Gators' stable of running backs was so active that for the first time in a season opener under Meyer, UF's backs combined for more than 100 yards (187 yards on 21 carries). It's going to be interesting as this thing progresses, Meyer said of the running back rotation. One of the great thrills of being a coach is being able to have some really good looking checkers to put on your checkerboard and we have some right now, especially at running back. Two of those checkers were of the travel-sized addition in freshmen Chris Rainey and Jeffrey Demps. Rainey (5-8) finished the game with six rushes for 58 yards and an electrifying 33-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Demps (5-8) ran twice for 76 yards, displaying pure speed on his 62-yard dash to the end zone early in the third quarter. We kind of like fast people around here and Demps is fast, Meyer said. Jeff Demps can really run and he's not a track guy playing football. He's a football player. After cutting to the left off an excellent block up the middle by center Maurkice Pouncey and then slipping through a tackle, the unfair foot race between Demps and a couple Hawaii defenders was on. When I broke the tackle and I saw some space I kind of knew I was going to score, but at the same point I was thinking I had to just outrun him, Demps said of his touchdown run. I was running fast but I know I can run faster. I was running pretty hard, too. While Rainey and Demps impressed throughout, the highly anticipated debut of Southern Cal transfer Emmanuel Moody did not go as planned and senior Kestahn Moore -

Rick sent this to me privately and I should have either taken the high road and not replied to him at all or replied to him privately. I should have never taken his crap to the list in the first place. I'm extremely sorry for having done this to each and every member of the list, to the owners of the list, and specifically to Rick. I'm terribly sorry and I hope you all will accept my apology and forgive me. Next, I don't have a good excuse other than I have a 7 week old baby at home and I've not had a lot of sleep in that period of time. To say the least, my patience, understanding, and tolerance of others is non-existant right now. I reacted in a way that I am deeply embarrased of and is totally unlike me. I next want to offer a public apology to Rickas well, because I've said things in private emails to him thatI'm veryashamed of and will have to live withall of this.I'm very sorry to you Rick for what I'vesaid to you. Asa Gator fan, who loves the Gators more than most things in this life, I will not foresake my family or my Savior on weekends, so that I can posts all of the SUN's articles the minute they appear on their website to please people like Rick. I would rather spend my time with my family and in Church, where I obviously need to attend more. :-) I was accused of posting articles thataren't even football related, like theGainesville Bars one thismorning. If I haveoffended any one by posting articles like that, then I amtruly sorry. I was trying to post every thing that I could, with thethought thatsome one out there may care to read it. I've always thought that I may not care about this article, but Rick might. Again, I'mdeeply sorry for posting things that are out of the scope of the list's intentions, and I hope you all will forgive me. In closing, please accept my humble apology for bringing this public, for posting things I evidetnly shoudn't have, and for the things I have said in private to Rick.I wished I wouldhave reacted to Rick differently this morning, but I can't have a do-over, unfortunately. I'll leave myfate on teh list to the owners. I wouldn't blame them if they kick me off or punish me in some way. I've alreadygranted Rick's request and asked them to findsome one else to post the SUN's articles to the list. Hopefully, they will find some one else that will do a better job than I did.

I know, I know, I'm not taking much of a gamble by saying that. To anyone who saw the game, it had to be obvious the Gators were holding a lot of stuff back in the opener mainly Tim Tebow. He threw only 14 passes, carried the ball only nine times and scored only one touchdown. When you have the best player in college football, your offense is supposed to revolve around him. It did not in the opener. It will from now on. Urban Meyer and offensive coordinator Dan Mullen clearly took a conservative approach against the outmanned Rainbows, knowing it would be good enough to secure a victory. Tebow mainly handed off to those speedy young tailbacks and watched like the rest of us. Other than the tailbacks, there seemed to be real effort to put the ball in the hands of the playmakers Tebow and his wide receivers. The down-field passing game was basically left on the sideline. This Saturday night, we'll see the offense. Tebow will be doing his thing (including running the ball) and spreading the ball around to the playmakers, including wide receiver Percy Harvin, who returned to full speed Monday night. UF will have to use all of its weapons because this is a talented and physical young Miami defense that is capable of creating major problems for the Gators. We've been hearing for months now how explosive this Florida offense is going to be. We'll start finding out Saturday night if it's going to live up to all the hype.
