Sorry, he may be a superstar in the making, but he doesn't impress me. I'm ok with him going someplace else. Randy - Original Message - From: Gatorr To: gatorn...@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2009 9:44 AM Subject: [gatornews] AJC.com: Lowndes All-America DB Greg Reid unplugged Lowndes All-America DB Greg Reid unplugged By Michael Carvell | Friday, January 30, 2009, 07:55 AM The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Greg Reid, the AJC's player of the year, might be the nation's hottest college football prospect. Reid, a defensive back from Lowndes, was well known in Georgia circles but propelled himself onto the national stage with his MVP performance in the Under Armour All-Star game earlier this month. Reid intercepted two passes in the ESPN-televised contest. As a result, college scouts have staged a massive invasion of Valdosta during the past few weeks to talk with Reid. Reid was committed to Florida almost a year ago but backed away from the national champion last month because he felt he rushed his decision. Now Georgia is one of the front-runners for Reid, who also is considering Florida State and Alabama while turning down overtures from dozens of other schools. This weekend, Reid will take an official visit to Georgia, his last recruiting trip before signing day. He discussed the recruiting process with the AJC: Q: What has the past month been like for you? A: It's been out of control, but I've tried to stay calm and not let all the [recruiting] get to me. I never knew it would get this bad. I figured some more colleges would be interested in me after the Under Armour game, but never this much. . I was just thinking that was another game. I never knew this many people would want a 5-foot-8 cornerback. Q: You've never been viewed as the prototype prospect because of your less-than-spectacular size and speed, yet all these colleges want you. What gives? A: Any coach who knows football knows not to read too much into what a football player does without the helmet and pads on. These combines and camps are a little overrated. I mean, I did OK at them. But when I put on the helmet and pads on Friday nights, it was a whole different story. Q: When you backed off your commitment to Florida only days before the all-star game, you took a big gamble. If you play poorly in that game, it could have worked against you and lost you a ton of major-college offers. Why risk it? Why not wait until after the game to see how you play before backing off? A: What really made up my mind were the Under Armour practices. I was going up against all these players that were rated much higher than me and had scholarship offers from everybody in the country . and I was holding my own against them on every play. After that, I knew I could play, and that gave me the confidence to make the tough decision about Florida. Q: What really went wrong with Florida? A: Florida was my favorite team growing up, so I committed to them as soon as I had the chance my junior year. Then I started looking closer at the depth chart in December -- who was coming back -- and they are stacked at cornerback. Florida has a great program, and I love the players and coaches, but it's four years of my life, and I have to do what's best for me. There are better opportunities for me to contribute earlier elsewhere. Q: There were media reports that you made hand signals during the all-star game to acknowledge your father, who is in prison. Can you elaborate? A: My daddy is in prison in Albany and has never seen me play in a high school game except for that one on ESPN. I was letting him know that I love him. He has been in prison [for aggravated assault] for going on five years, and we're hoping he can get out in time for my graduation. Q: There has been a lot speculation about you meeting college entrance requirements. What's your academic situation? A: I did terrible, terrible, terrible during my first two years of high school. Then as a junior, I started turning things around. I saw I could go straight to college rather than a prep school if I got it together. I started getting tutors, and my senior year has been awesome. I made all Bs first semester. I have a 2.6 GPA. I've had a lot of college coaches and counselors review my transcript, and they tell me that if I keep it up second semester, then I should be fine. Q: Your high school team was accused of having poor sportsmanship after losing to Grayson in last season's state quarterfinals. What was your perspective? A: We hate to lose at Lowndes, and we didn't handle that situation very well. . I take the blame for that. I was a senior leader, and I should have had better control of my team. . Whatever team I play for in college, I can promise you nothing like that will ever happen again.

An officer arrived to find a red Dodge Charger in the drive-through lane at approximately 5 am A wtiness told police the car had been parked there for about 20 minutes, according to the paper. The car's engine was running, the car was in drive and Parker's foot was on the brake pedal, according to a news release from the Tallahassee Police Department. The officer woke Parker by pounding on the window, according to the release. [+] EnlargeMike Zarrilli/Getty ImagesPreston Parker had only 40 catches for 372 yards and two touchdowns in 2008 after missing the first two games. Parker was arrested after taking part in a field-sobriety test he agreed to take, police said. His blood-alcohol content was 0.054, below the Florida legal limit of 0.08. Police said a urine sample was a presumptive positive for marijuana. Police also said Parker admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana Friday night. According to the Democrat, anyone convicted of first-offense DUI in Florida, a misdemeanor, faces a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Parker was formally charged in May 2008 with a felony count of carrying a concealed firearm and possession of marijuana. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts, and was suspended for the first two games of the 2008 season. Parker was arrested in Tallahassee in the fall of 2006 for petty theft, but the charge was dropped after he completed a diversion program. Parker had 40 catches for 372 yards and two touchdowns in 2008, well below the 62 catches for 791 yards he had in his standout sophomore season. He finished that sophomore year with 1,061 yards and five touchdowns in total offense and was named Florida State's offensive MVP. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

From a schematic standpoint, if I was forced to choose between Percy Harvin and Tim Tebow to play in UF's offense, I'd take Harvin. Maybe it's because I've seen too much of Tebow and I'm desensitized to all his clutch plays, but I think the loss of Harvin will be harder to absorb in the Gators' game plan. There was a time when I wouldn't hesitate to choose Tebow in this discussion, but as he becomes more and more aware of how his style of play will have to change before he hits the NFL, the things that make him so dangerous are tempered a little When Tebow is running all over the field, he causes all kinds of trouble for a defense. Once in high school, I saw a team tell its defensive lineman not to cross the line of scrimmage or try to pressure Tebow. They just stood up, fanned out and shuffled their feet in an attempt to keep him from running. Naturally, that trick failed. As Tebow stays in the pocket more, he stops being Tebow and starts being just a really, really good quarterback, and defenses don't have to allocate as much manpower to babysit him. I don't see any reason why John Brantley wouldn't be able to succeed in an offense where he has a full complement of playmakers and needs to make around 15 throws per game. Meanwhile, Harvin demands tons of attention. He's always in motion and moving around, and it leaves defenses uneasy. His mere presence on the field gives other receivers single coverage and opens up running lanes for Jeff Demps and Chris Rainey. So not only is Harvin a threat to score on every touch, but he gives another two or three guys that same ability just by being there. Demps Co. didn't look quite the same against Alabama without Harvin around. Tebow and Harvin are both incredible players, but Harvin makes more plays that I don't think anyone else could make. Neither can be replaced, but I think another quarterback could function in the offense better than another receiver/running back could fill Harvin's role. Obviously, this discussion is strictly X's and O's, because if leadership or charisma were factored in, Tebow is more important to UF than Harvin or even coach Urban Meyer. I understand if you don't agree. But at the very least, take into account how important Harvin was to the Gators, and consider the impact his departure will have before you expect the 2009 UF squad to be the best in college football history.

[gatortalk] [Gainesville SUN]: NFL's biggest spectacle always worth watching (Dooley)
NFL's biggest spectacle always worth watching By Pat Dooley Gainesville Sun Columnist Published: Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 6:01 a.m. Last Modified: Sunday, February 1, 2009 at 12:37 a.m. One day I may write a book about being a sports fan and call it Everything I Know About the NFL I Learned on a Treadmill. Because the only time I watch those NFL guys talk breathlessly about zone blitzes and salary caps is during workouts. I find the pregame shows boring, the personalities stale and, like many of you, I much prefer the college game. But this week is different. This week you have to watch. A little. If you watched all of the Super Bowl discussions this week you'll need rehab Monday. Today, it all ends, thank goodness. We don't have to hear from former players turned TV guys. We don't have to listen to national sports talk radio hosts forget why we listen to them in the first place and instead spend mindless hours interviewing players not in the game. We don't have to watch Chris Berman's comb-over dancing in the Tampa wind. I know. Turn it off if it's so bad. But it's intoxicating because it leads up to the biggest event in sports. You don't have to love pro football to watch it. You don't even have to like football. But you'll watch. You always do. Maybe this year you're not so sure. Pittsburgh-Arizona isn't doing it for you. The hype has numbed you. You're thinking about turning in early or going to a movie. So let me tell you why you should watch. It's historic. It's the first time the Cardinals have been in the Super Bowl, leaving Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Cleveland and your Jacksonville Jaguars as the only NFL franchises not to play in one. Arizona being there is kind of like Vanderbilt playing in a BCS bowl game. It's almost historic. If Pittsburgh wins, it will be the second time in three years a black head coach has won. Mike Tomlin can't be the first, but I'm guessing he won't complain. Bruce Springsteen at halftime. First, Paul McCartney, then the Stones. Last year Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The NFL must have access to my iPod. If Weezer, Ben Folds or Sister Hazel plays next year's halftime, I'll know it for sure. It's a good excuse to go to a party on a Sunday. Arizona's Anquan Boldin may blow up on the sidelines again. Troy Polamalu. The hair, the big hits, the big plays. He's really fun to watch. You can explain Roman numerals to your kids. And maybe to some of the adults. Pittsburgh can set a record for Super Bowl wins with six. That means the Dallas Cowboys won't be tied for the record anymore. Woo-hoo. The commercials. Not as good as they used to be, but there are usually two or three that will induce more laughter than a whole season of Cavemen. Al Michaels may be full of himself and John Madden isn't as good as Frank Caliendo doing John Madden, but they are still the best announcing team on TV. Ben Roethlisberger has sore ribs. And you can't spell Roethlisberger without R-I-B-S. Larry Fitzgerald is the best wide receiver in football. Max Starks, one of the best Gators I've ever interviewed, is playing. It's a break from recruiting. ESPN is showing poker from Europe. I'm not kidding. It's in our state, just like the college football championship was earlier this year. We rock. You can see if Dr. Football misses another one. I'm picking Pittsburgh, 27-14. This is it. This is the last football game of the season. The Pro Bowl doesn't count because it's not real football. So this is it. It's the Super Bowl. It's a part of our culture. I think there is a law that says you have to watch it. If there isn't, I'm sure one will be enacted in the next four years.

My car had a stick shift and my foot had slipped off the clutch allowing the car to lurch forward and die. I was out cold and the employees parked my car and put me in the back seat.

An officer arrived to find a red Dodge Charger in the drive-through lane at approximately 5 a.m. A wtiness told police the car had been parked there for about 20 minutes, according to the paper. The car's engine was running, the car was in drive and Parker's foot was on the brake pedal, according to a news release from the Tallahassee Police Department. The officer woke Parker by pounding on the window, according to the release. [+] Enlarge Mike Zarrilli/Getty ImagesPreston Parker had only 40 catches for 372 yards and two touchdowns in 2008 after missing the first two games. Parker was arrested after taking part in a field-sobriety test he agreed to take, police said. His blood-alcohol content was 0.054, below the Florida legal limit of 0.08. Police said a urine sample was a presumptive positive for marijuana. Police also said Parker admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana Friday night. According to the Democrat, anyone convicted of first-offense DUI in Florida, a misdemeanor, faces a fine of up to $1,000 and up to six months in jail. Parker was formally charged in May 2008 with a felony count of carrying a concealed firearm and possession of marijuana. He later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor counts, and was suspended for the first two games of the 2008 season. Parker was arrested in Tallahassee in the fall of 2006 for petty theft, but the charge was dropped after he completed a diversion program. Parker had 40 catches for 372 yards and two touchdowns in 2008, well below the 62

[gatortalk] Re: Super Bowl
I am also not sorry to see Anquan Boldin on the losing end. IIRC, SOS was recruiting him hard. He had been a QB in high school, and we were recruiting him as a QB. However, the f$u people kept telling him that SOS would never play him as a QB, and would switch him to wide receiver. He signed with f$u, and even before he took a single rep in practice, they switched him to WR. Idiot. Two weeks ago, when I saw him jawing with the Cardinal Offensive Coordinator, I thought we were lucky not to get him. Typical f$u trash. Go Gators Ken B.
