Re: [gatortalk] Fwd: [gatornews] Dooley's Dozen: A look at the last 12 head coach debuts for Florida

[Jerry Belloit]

Oliver,

 

Get the WRUF app.  He has a regular podcast show from 4-6 with Jeff Cardozo 
called the Tailgate show.  It is on weekdays unless there is a Gator sporting 
event scheduled.  I usually listen to it regularly when I am doing my daily 
workout.  It is nice because you don’t necessarily have to listen at that time 
since it is available both live and streamed upon demand.  There are also some 
other great programs such as Inside the Huddle (Weekly) with the Shand 
Matthews, SOS, and Steve Russell.

There is nothing quite like opening day no matter what the sports. But 
especially in a city like Gainesville, it feels like it is an awakening, a 
rebirth of sorts as we all get together to start a new chapter in the history 
of Florida football.

This one has some special juice because it has been hyped for months, partly 
because Florida hasn’t played a team ranked this high for an opener since the 
famous 1969 Houston game.

Buy Gators Tickets

That’s the thing – the openers are special when the opposition is Charleston 
Southern or The Citadel.

It’s a reunion of sorts, people getting together for the first time in months, 
eating and drinking and laughing and sweating.

Sometimes, the first game of the season tells us something. Sometimes, it is 
forgotten before September is over.

This edition of Dooley’s Dozen looks at the last 12 coaches at Florida (not 
including the four interim coaches in less than two decades) and how they fared 
in their openers.

1
Raymond B. (Bear) Wolf, 1946
Chuck Hunsinger. Courtesy: University of Florida SID

Wolf took over a team that had lost the last game of the previous season to the 
U.S. Amphibs in Norfolk, Va. It didn’t get any better. His first game was a 
13-7 loss to Ole Miss. So, there was hope. Right? The Gators went 0-9 and were 
never that close again. But the good news was that the players from the time 
referred to it mockingly as the Golden Era and used to have reunions and raise 
money for scholarships.

2
Bob Woodruff, 1950
Courtesy: University of Florida SID

Woodruff — a protégé of Gen. Robert Neyland — took over for Wolf, who finally 
started winning games but not enough. Woodruff’s first game as head coach was 
against The Citadel and UF came out on top 7-3. The most significant thing? It 
was the first home night game for the Gators at Florida Field.

3
Ray Graves, 1960

After 10 seasons of Woodruff, who did get Florida to its first-ever bowl game, 
Florida went to the Neyland tree again and hired Ray Graves. His first game was 
a 30-7 win over George Washington in the Gator Bowl (where they would also 
finish the season). This was the first of nine wins for UF, the first time that 
had happened at Florida.

4
Doug Dickey, 1970
Ray Graves (left) and Doug Dickey (right). Syndication/Nashville

After Graves was kicked upstairs, Florida brought Dickey home. A former Gator 
and P.K. Yonge quarterback, Dickey toned down the offense but escaped, 21-19, 
despite the Blue Devils outscoring Florida 13-0 in the fourth quarter. Carlos 
Alvarez had the eventual game-winner with a 67-yard punt return.

5
Charley Pell, 1979
Manny Rubio-USA TODAY Sports

Pell had so much success at Clemson that it seemed like the perfect hire. He 
rallied the Gator Nation and had a big part in making Florida what it is today. 
His first game was a 14-10 loss in the Astrodome to a Houston team that would 
win 11 games that year. Pell’s first team, of course, would win no games.

6
Galen Hall, 1985
Allen Dean Steele/Getty Images

So, you can look at this one of two ways. Hall was named interim coach after 
Pell was fired so his first game was a 27-12 win over Mississippi State. But 
after he was given the job permanently, his first win was 35-23 over Miami. In 
Miami. He had things rolling before the past sins of the previous staff caught 
up with the roster.

7
Steve Spurrier, 1990
USA TODAY Sports

Shane Matthews often tells the story that he wanted a draw or screen on the 
first play against Oklahoma State. That’s not the way the HBC rolls. Instead, 
it was a long pass to Ernie Mills on a deep cross and Florida was on its way to 
a 50-7 win in Gainesville. Things felt different that day and it certainly was 
the beginning of an amazing 12-year run. Trivia: First touchdown of the 
Spurrier Era? Dexter McNabb.

In case some of you haven't seen this:
[Image removed by sender.]
Arthur Leon Polhill

Arthur Leon Polhill, born 8/29/42 at St. Vincent’s Hospital, Jacksonville, 
Florida, lost his battle with cancer surrounded by his family on 7/24/22. He is 
preceded in death by Leonard Leon Polhill (father), Lillian Irene Whitlow 
(mother), and his sister, Polly Bodden (Elsie Irene Polhill). He is survived by 
his wife, Paula Vogel Polhill, his son Hal (Stacy) Polhill, his daughter, Diane 
(Gary) Leinenbach, and 3 grandsons, Kyle Polhill, Drew Leinenbach, and Gavyn 
Leinenbach.

Leon attended Jacksonville University then transferred and graduated from the 
University of Florida, Class of 1966.  He attended law school, then 
transitioned after the 2nd year to earn a Master’s degree.  Raised by his 
grandparents, Leon treasured family as evidenced by his career service, 
commitment and dedication to serving the children and families of the State of 
Florida.

Leon taught high school social studies, Problems of American Democracy, at 
Ocala High School for two years during the integration of public schools. Leon 
transitioned to Youth Services (Delinquency) in the State of Florida, traveling 
throughout the state ensuring the integrity of the educational services 
provided to children in custody.  During his career, he was one of the pioneers 
in youth prevention services, creating and providing the first runaway shelter 
and services in the state of Florida, which was modeled throughout Florida and 
the southeastern United States.  As Director of Children Services in 
Hillsborough County, he was instrumental in providing both residential and 
non-residential services to all children, youth and their families.  He 
continued work with the State of Florida as a Program Administrator for Abuse 
and Neglect Prevention statewide.  In 1999, Leon retired to Gainesville, FL, 
where he could spend his retirement cheering on his beloved Gators.  Leon was a 
Gator Booster and season ticket holder for both baseball and football, 
attending home and many away games over the years.

In retirement, Leon continued to support children and families in Alachua 
County volunteering with the Corner Drug Store, among other things.  Leon was 
also a Master Gardener who loved sharing his love and expertise of gardening 
with others.   He also spent much of his time supporting his grandsons, 
attending their many school and sporting events as one of their biggest fans.

Leon loved the Great Smoky Mountains, and after years of camping, he bought a 
second home in Maggie Valley, NC, to ride over Soco Gap to access some of his 
favorite hiking trails.  He believed that each time you took a trail it gave 
you new insight.  He shared that philosophy with everyone and was thankful for 
the Cherokee family who showed him the mountains over the years.

Leon definitely understood the importance of family, friends and humanity.  He 
loved deeply, cared unceasingly, and always was available to help others.

“Do not go softly into that good night” from Dylan Thomas’s poem was the 
epitome of his fight against cancer.  He fought gallantly.  He said that every 
chemo required learning to ride the new wild horse (chemo).  In the end, the 
song “It is well with My Soul” let him pass in peace.

Leon will be greatly missed by those who loved him.

A celebration of life will be held at Kanapaha Gardens, 4700 SW 58th Ave, 
Gainesville, 
Florida,
 on Saturday, August 13 from 1 to 3 pm.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations for the University of Florida, College 
of Education may be made out to the A. Leon and Paula F. Polhill Family 
Endowment Scholarship Fund # F022151 and mailed to P.O. Box 14425, Gainesville, 
FL 32604-2425, Attn: Gift Processing. Please note A. Leon Polhill or UF 
Foundation F022151 in the memo area.

You may choose to donate online, using the following link: 
https://www.uff.ufl.edu/giving-opportunities/022151-a-leon-and-paula-f-polhill-family-endowment-scholarship/

This scholarship fund is designated for 1st generation students with special 
consideration given to youth in Take Stock in Children.  Leon strongly believed 
that education was the springboard to success and the great equalizer.  Leon 
was extremely proud that both his children chose careers in education.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Katie Turner, Bri Wade in vital recruiting roles on Billy Napier's Florida football staff

[Jerry Belloit]

Georgia has had a long suffering basketball program.  Other than a brief stint 
with Tubby Smith, Georgia has not had a coach with an overall winning record 
since 1920.  Georgia fans would soil their pants just to have a coach with as 
good of a record as Mike White.  I am confident that White’s agent was looking 
for a face-saving place to land for him before Florida terminated his contract. 
 Mike White is a good coach, but not good enough for Florida basketball.

Though Turner first had to break the news to her boss, Kirby Smart.

Understood, but if the point of the author was to mention how Florida was 
undermanned, it seems to make sense to mention all the players who were 
unavailable.

I’d forgive leaving out Keyontae, as he has not played all year, but Jitoboh 
was an important contributor during the year and helped to keep Castleton fresh.

Fan #1 asks her,kin ya swallar? The woman shakes her head no. Then he asks
her kin ya breathe? Woman shakes her head no. He walked over,lifts up her

Realizing what was happening, the woman convulsed, had a violent spasm and

RE: [gatortalk] Do We Really Want Miami To Get The Death Penalty?

[Jerry Belloit]

I think that the penalties on the schools need to be revised as well.  When
a school gains a competitive advantage through violations, then that's
schools share of the conference revenues should be given to those schools
who played the school with those players who were obtained by the recruiting
advantage.  If the penalty is for two year's than the other teams should
receive those revenues for two years.  The NCAA needs to hit the schools
(and the offending coaches) in their pocketbooks.  That will clean things
up.

I'm with Rob on this one. I think the coaches should be barred from college
coaching for a certain time period or even for life, depending on the
seriousness of the wrongdoing. Otherwise, they're going to keep on looking
the other way when violations occur. What really is the incentive for them
to behave when they can just move on to another school like Kiffin did?

As far as Miami goes, I prefer lengthy suffering to the death penalty. I'd
like to see them lose scholarships and have a very lengthy bowl and TV
ban--five years, maybe.

I don't think our experience will be a guide, since it was over 20 years


ago, but USC(w) will surely be.  Especially since Paul Dee the UM athletic


director during part of this scandal, was sitting as chairman of the






infractions committee which hammered USC(w) and made some comments which are


going to come back to haunt scUM.  I like others do not believe that the


NCAA will apply the death penalty, however, I could see the NCAA penalizing






scUM to the point where scUM shuts itself down for a period of time because


the cost is prohibitive.  Say a penalty of no TV revenue, bowl games for 3


years and no scholarship athletes for at least 1 year.

RE: [gatortalk] Do We Really Want Miami To Get The Death Penalty?

[Jerry Belloit]

It is still preseason, so I guess we can fantasize about it.  I don't think
any one school will benefit too much if that happens, however.  Scholarship
limits would prevent a windfall.

There's been a lot of talk about the death penalty for Miami, and
while I don't think the NCAA has enough spine to actually invoke it, I
started thinking about what might happen in relation to the Gators.

At SMU, I seem to recall that the players were allowed to transfer
without penalty.  I would assume it would happen in this case too.  If
so, I would expect to see more transfer to FSU or USF than UF.  That
would give FSU a solid pipeline in South Florida, and possibly make
USF a major player in college football.  FSU establishing a steady
flow of talent from Miami could make them a national it team again.
USF could start keeping more of the Tampa talent at home if they
become the third of the Big 3.  Neither situation plays out well for
UF.

While I would love to see scUM obliterated by the NCAA, I selfishly
have to wonder whether it would be better for us if they just get
serious scholarship reductions.  While this would still redirect some
players to other schools, there wouldn't be the wholesale diaspora,
and long-term, it would be better for the Gators.

What do you think?

RE: [gatortalk] Do We Really Want Miami To Get The Death Penalty?

[Jerry Belloit]

Rob,

 

As I think about a school getting the death penalty, UM would be the likely
profile.  SMU while have some national exposure was still a relatively small
operation.  In many ways it is very similar in character to Miami.  The only
other schools to get death penalties since SMU (two others) were very small
programs.

 

Interestingly the first school to get the death penalty was the University
of Kentucky Basketball team in 1952 involving paying players and players
taking bribes for point shaving.  More interestingly, the penalties were
even more severe for the players.  Not only was their college careers ended,
the NBA (precursor) banned the players from the league for life.

If the allegations in the Yahoo story are all true, then it is easily within
the realm of what the death penalty is for. You'd have to ask, if this
doesn't earn the death penalty, then exactly what DO you have to do? Run a
drug trafficing cartel? Kidnap young girls and sell them into slavery? What?
This is so egregious, so flauntingly out of control, so contemptuous if the
rules the rest of us live by, that anything less would make a mockery of the
NCAA and it's rules. Yet, despite what seems to me to be an obvious case, I
will be amazed if the NCAA has the guts actually to pull the trigger.

RE: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] YahooSports.com: Renegade Miami football booster spells out illicit benefits to players

[Jerry Belloit]

I think the issues here are the coaches and university's participation with
this booster.  From the guy's story on yahoo, it seems like the university
knew (or certainly should have known) what was going on and did nothing.
Further, it seems that there has been an historic practice of a designated
booster to do the money activities.  It is hard to believe that the
university was unaware of what was going on.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any punishment from the
NCAA getting worse because they played ineligible players (e.g.
scholarship reductions, etc).  Obviously, if the players are ruled
ineligible, they'll have to either forfeit or vacate any wins, but
we've seen how much that hurts with the FSU academic scandal (that is,
not at all).  On the other hand, if they lose holding the players out,
they still have to keep those losses.

[Jerry Belloit]

Jong,

I agree with much of your analysis.  My three picks for a 16 team SEC
expansion would be TAM, Mizzu, OK, and OK State.  Maryland would be an
interesting choice in that they would bring the N. VA, DC, MD market into
play.  I also guess you could make a case that Maryland is partly below the
Mason-Dixon line so geographically, it might work.  MD would also add a team
for the East.  If Mizzu, OK, and OK State, we have a difficult time dividing
East/West.

Honestly, this has been a lot of fun to follow, and I was surprised
that more people haven't talked about it.

If we assume that the conference leaders want to maintain some sort of
geographic sense, the next schools to join would come from the ACC or
Big 12.  The Big East seems a stretch to me, and I don't think any
schools are looking to leave the Big Ten.

In the ACC, I don't see any of the North Carolina schools (or UVA for
that matter) leaving.  There is too much basketball history among
them.  UVA and VT are joined at the hip; the Virginia legislature
would never allow VT to leave seeing how much effort they expended
getting them into the ACC in the first place.  FSU, Miami, Georgia
Tech, and Clemson are all in regions that are dominated by SEC schools
already.  However, FSU and Miami can bring national name recognition
if that's important to the conference leaders (see Nebraska).  That
leaves Boston College and Maryland.  BC is not any kind of fit that I
can see.  No one is talking about Maryland, but they're kind of
intriguing.  They can bring the DC market, have shown they can be good
in football, have a long basketball history, and are members of the
AAU.  From the UF perspective, they bring a relatively rich recruiting
region that we have taken advantage of since about Zook.

From the Big 12, I think it's just a matter of time before Texas goes
independent and TAMU joins the SEC.  I don't see Baylor, Iowa State,
Kansas, K State, or Texas Tech adding much for TV markets.  That
leaves Missouri, OU, and OSU.  Missouri is a possibility.  They bring
the St. Louis market, good recent history in football, have previously
done well in basketball, and is an AAU member.  Oklahoma and OSU are
joined at the hip like UVA and VT.  If we're just talking expanding to
14, I don't see any way either or both of OU and OSU join.

So then, for expansion to 14, TAMU and Maryland/Missouri.  For
expansion to 16, TAMU, Maryland/Missouri, OU, OSU.  Take with massive
grains of salt.

One last note before I end this much-too-long missive.  I don't see
expansion into Texas really helping UF recruiting.  Even when Spurrier
spent a good amount of effort in Texas, we didn't end up with too
much.  I see it helping teams like LSU and Arkansas more.

Sounds like the AM deal will get done eventually, once the conflicting

looking at expanding (greed) but hate it. I can live with it, however, as

It's all about the TV market they'd bring in. That's why Florida State is
not a good fit...the SEC already has the Florida market. 

 

It sounds to me as though the SEC doesn't want to be a defendant in a
lawsuit filed by the Big 12.

For now, SEC will stick with its 12 schools

The Southeastern Conference is staying just as it is - for now.

However, the game of major college conference realignment appears far from
finished.

University of Florida President Bernie Machen, the chairman of the
Southeastern Conference's presidents and chancellors committee, said the
group met Sunday and reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12
institutional alignment.

Machen said no action was taken regarding Texas AM or any other schools. He
didn't, however, close the door on change.

We recognize, however, that future conditions may make it advantageous to
expand the number of institutions in the league, Machen said in a
statement. We discussed criteria and process associated with expansion.

The Aggies reportedly are looking to leave the Big 12. The Texas AM System
board of regents is to meet Monday, and among the items on the agenda is
conference alignment.

AM President R. Bowen Loftin said in a statement Sunday there is a
considerable amount of misinformation regarding the school and the SEC.
Loftin said he didn't participate in the meeting Sunday with the SEC, but
would be authorized by the regents to take all actions related to athletic
conference alignment.

If it leaves the Big 12, Texas AM's first destination preference appears to
be the SEC. Arkansas Chancellor Dave Gearhart said that much was made clear
at the SEC meeting Sunday.

(Texas AM) did approach the SEC, not the other way around, Gearhart said.
I'm not really sure of all the reasons for that. I'm sure that there's a
lot of speculation on behalf of a lot of people that what caused them to do
that. The bottom line is they did approach the SEC.

Gearhart said the Aggies were among a number of topics discussed at the SEC
meeting in Atlanta.

It was really an open discussion, not just about AM but about the future
of the conference and the future of other conferences, Gearhart said. We
did talk about Texas AM. It's a great university, a great place. But I
think the decision was to make no decision at this particular time.

Gearhart said the SEC presidents and chancellors are very comfortable with
the 12-team alignment, financially and competitively. But he, too, said they
wouldn't rule out

Almost missed this date!  Where Palm and Pine are blowing.

It's the birthday of writer
http://www.elabs7.com/c.html?rtr=ons=fj6,rzsj,dv,7q9w,bo0a,gq0w,71i7
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (
http://www.elabs7.com/c.html?rtr=ons=fj6,rzsj,dv,dxhz,2c36,gq0w,71i7
books by this author), born in Washington, D.C. (1896). As a girl, she loved
to write, and she published stories and essays in the children's section of
newspapers. As a young wife, she moved to Rochester, New York, where she
wrote for a society magazine. She suggested to the editor of the Rochester
Times-Union that she write a daily column in versecalled Songs of a
Housewife. The editor was unconvinced, but he finally agreed to let her
try. Her column was extremely popular, syndicated in 50 newspapers. She
wrote poems about cooking, being a mother, gardening, neighbors, housework,
and the weather. Her first column was called The Smell of Country Sausage,
and it began: I let the spiced aromas / Call up the kitchen stair / Before
I have my table set / The family all is there. She wrote 495 columns of
Songs of a Housewife.

Then she and her husband purchased an orange grove in Cross Creek, Florida.
She spent the rest of her life there, even after her marriage ended because
her husband did not like rural life. A few years after her divorce, she
published her best-known book, The Yearling (1938). It's the story of Jody
Baxter, a lonely Florida farm boy, and Flag, his adopted orphaned fawn. Jody
grows up along with Flag, but when Flag eats the family's corn crop, his
parents tell Jody that he has to shoot the deer. Although The Yearling is
now marketed as a children's or young adult novel, at the time of its
publication it appealed to a general audience. It was the best-selling novel
of the year 1938, and Rawlings' editor was Maxwell Perkins, who was most
famous as the editor for Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The
Yearling won the Pulitzer Prize, and like several of Rawlings' other novels,
it was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection.

In her memoir Cross Creek, she wrote: We at the Creek need and have found
only very simple things. We must need flowering and fruiting trees, for all
of us have citrus groves of one size or another. We must need a certain
blandness of season, with a longer and more beneficent heat than many
require, for there is never too much sun for us, and through the long
summers we do not complain. We need the song of birds, and there is none
finer than the red-bird. We need the sound of rain coming across the hamaca,
and the sound of wind in trees - and there is no more sensitive Aeolian harp
than the palm. The pine is good, for the needles brushing one another have a
great softness, and we have the wind in the pines, too. We need above all, I
think, a certain remoteness from urban confusion, and while this can be
found in other places, Cross Creek offers it with such beauty and grace that
once entangled with it, no other place seems possible to us, just as when
truly in love none other offers the comfort of the beloved. We are not even
offended when others do not share our delight. Tom Glisson and I often laugh
together at the people who consider the Creek dull, or, in the precise
sense, outlandish.

RE: [gatortalk] Coach Spurrier

[Jerry Belloit]

Ray Graves is one of my all time favorites.  I remember sitting in his
office while he told me the story behind a plaque he received from the
Atlanta TD club after beating Georgia Tech a year after leaving there as
coach when he went for two to win the game.  Ray Graves contribution to
Florida Football was and still is huge.

 

My point about Charlie Pell is that Pell changed the expectation level at
Florida.   To be sure SOS ratcheted it up still another level.

It is no doubt that SOS contributed mightily to our current age of athletic
superiority.  I would argue that for football it may have actually started
with Charlie Pell for it was with him that the expectation of a winner
became compelling for football.  It was also Pell's team (Galen was the
interim coach) that won the first SEC championship in 1984.  (It  was later
stripped by the SEC Presidents.)  Also, for those that thought the Pell was

Kiffin charged with failure-to-monitor instead of Tennessee

The released response to the NCAA details the compliance education for
Kiffin and his coaches. 

By  http://timesfreepress.com/staff/patrick-brown/ Patrick Brown

 http://timesfreepress.com/photos/2008/dec/01/10616/ enlarge photo 

KNOXVILLE -- One of the most important developments in the University of
Tennessee's lengthy case with the NCAA was former coach Lane Kiffin
receiving a failure-to-monitor charge instead of the Volunteers' football
program.

The university's response to the NCAA, which UT released to the Times Free
Press on Monday, explained the details of why Kiffin, who left UT for
Southern Cal after one season, was given the charge. After receiving the
NCAA's Notice of Allegations in February, UT formally responded in May and
went before the Committee on Infractions in June.

Contained in the 190-page document is UT's reply to each of the alleged 10
major infractions against the men's basketball and football programs, the
school's self-imposed two-year probation and the other punitive actions the
school imposed on former and current football and basketball coaching
staffs.

While the document vividly describes the downfall of UT's former basketball
staff with transcripts of the conversations former head coach Bruce Pearl
and assistants Tony Jones, Steve Forbes and Jason Shay had with NCAA
investigators in which they admitted to the lies and attempted cover-up that
ultimately led to their firings in March, the football portion of the case
is still shrouded with some mystery.

The NCAA lumped four separate recruiting infractions of a secondary nature
into one major infraction, though two of those violations involving former
assistant David Reaves are heavily redacted to protect the identity of
former or current UT students.

Now the offensive coordinator at New Mexico, Reaves allegedly had UT
students contact football recruits illegally, which UT disputed in its
response, and his involvement in two members of UT's now-defunct Orange
Pride hostess group attending a high school game in South Carolina is the
biggest mystery in this case.

The university does not believe it is appropriate to cite Kiffin for
failing to monitor Reaves in that instance, the response states. Rather,
the weight of the evidence is that Reaves acted on his own and without
notice to Kiffin. However, as the head coach, Kiffin was ultimately
responsible for all employees of the football program.

As for the 16 impermissible phone calls during a Jan. 3-9, 2010, contact
period and the impermissible in-person off-campus contact of then UT
recruiting intern Steve Rubio with administrators at St. Thomas Aquinas High
School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., UT said it provided Kiffin with enough
information that he should have prevented the violations.

From December 2008 to January 2010, UT's compliance staff provided no fewer
than 135 rules-education items to football coaches and administrators.

When the university began hiring the former football staff ... the
compliance staff immediately began a campaign to fully educate the staff on
all aspects of NCAA rules, the response states. The compliance staff was
particularly focused on rules education for the football staff at that time
because several of the football coaching staff members were returning to
college football from careers in the National Football League.

Brad Bertani, UT's associate athletic director for compliance, said he
vividly remembered having conversations with the staff about the
impermissibility of certain contacts just a month before the illegal calls
were made.

During the 2009 contact and evaluation period, UT's senior associate
athletic director David Blackburn said Bertani

Subject: [gatortalk] Coach Spurrier

 

Gators…

 

Ok, to begin with, maybe I was naïve to think I would be able to hold a
conversation with Coach Spurrier, but I REALLY didn’t expect him to draw
600-700 people in little old Chattanooga, TN! Not only was I not able to
talk to him, they also told us at the beginning of the banquet there would
be no autographs. I guess I could’ve milled around afterwards and tried to
get a picture, but I decided not to try.

 

Anyway, it was a very good evening. I’ve attended quite a few events at The
Chattanoogan, and they always do a great job. The food was awesome, and the
location of my table was perfect.

 

Now, to the HBC’s comments. I’m not going to tell you every time the crowd
laughed. Suffice it to say he was very funny and the predominately Vol crowd
was politely laughing or clapping… except once, and I’ll mention that later.

 

First, he took us on a little trip of how he got to where he is today. UF
was pretty much the center of his speech, and everything else kinda rotated
around it. He said although he grew up in Johnson City, TN, he was a Florida
boy because he was born in Miami. His college days were the best memories he
has because that’s where he met Jerri and fell in love. He didn’t mention
his Heisman at all.

 

When he was drafted by the 49’ers, he said he had the best job in the NFL –
backup QB. For ten years, while all the rest of the guys were being iced
down or massaged after a hard game, he was all clean and asking where they
were going to eat.

 

Then, he was traded to Tampa Bay and he told a story about how everyone on
the team was resigned to losing. At a team meeting, the coach was saying
that games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage. He (the coach) noticed
one of the offensive linemen sleeping in the back of the room, so he yelled
at him. When he got his attention, he asked him “where are games lost?” The
lineman answered, “Tampa Bay, Coach?”  J

 

Then, he talked about coaching at Duke, and how one of his favorite memories
of all time was bringing his Duke team to Knoxville and beating the Vols
(WITH Reggie White) by one point. No laughing over that one. There was a lot
of murmuring and frowning.

 

Then he talked about coaching at Florida, throwing his visor, Danny, and the
1996 National Championship. He said Danny is to this day the best player he
has ever coached, and that he was the most courageous player to ever put on
the uniform. He talked about how Danny was hit 36 times in the season finale
against f$u only to come back in the Sugar Bowl and beat ‘em 52-20. You
could hear the pride in his voice.

 

He DID mention his “distaste” for UGA and how he loved beating them so many
years in a row, and several UGA fans seated near me growled. I was ready to
hose ‘em down if they started barking. J

 

He said he thought the NFL was like college and that after the season was
over, you played golf, traveled, etc., but he found out that the NFL was a
year-round job. He didn’t like that too much, so he left after two years. He
didn’t dwell on that very long.

 

Fast forward to USC. He says that after seven years, it’s home to him. He’s
very proud of what they have accomplished there, and pointed to the fact
that more and more South Carolina high school players are staying in state
and going to school in Colombia instead of going to UT, UF or UGA.
Apparently they now have a new athletic complex very similar to Florida’s
(weight rooms, state of the art fitness training, cafeteria, etc.) and the
recruits love it.

 

He believes Latimore will have another awesome year and said that Garcia has
finally got his head on straight. He actually stayed for summer workouts
this year and apparently has improved dramatically.

 

He was humble about USC being picked as the pre-season favorites to win SEC
East again, but he also doesn’t expect much trouble out of UF, UGA or UT. (I
hope he’s wrong about UF).  He’s also expecting USC to win the SEC within
the next few years.

 

He responded to a question from audience about paying players. He said it
was a shame that an SEC school’s share of the TV payouts is approx. $15
million yet the NCAA won’t approve at least an expense account for the
players to help with their family’s travel and lodging to come to games. He
said Latimore (who carried that team on his back last year much like Tebow
did at UF the year before last) can’t even afford to own a car. He walks or
catches a ride everywhere he goes.

 

Another question was what he thought about Kiffin. He said he didn’t think
much about him, and then asked, “Did y’all?” J

 

He complained about Commish Slive wanting to raise the minimum SEC GPA for
football players coming out of high school from 2.0 to 2.5.

RE: [gatortalk] Coach Spurrier

[Jerry Belloit]

Leon,

 

SOS will always be the greatest Gator unless Tim Tebow retires from the NFL,
goes into college coaching, is hired at Florida, and wins for ten years like
SOS.  However, I will always be grateful to Charlie Pell for beginning the
paradigm shift for Gator football.  I will never forget that first time he
came to the Jacksonville Gator Club just after he was hired.  When he spoke,
there was a new day in Florida football.  Dickey's era was dead and so was
boring football.  Pell had an absolutely contagious personality.  You just
knew he had a plan and you knew it would be beyond our expectations.

 

Jerry

 

P.S.  Charlie's wife Ward is still a big fan and a Gator, through and
through, just like Charlie.

Leon,

 

It is no doubt that SOS contributed mightily to our current age of athletic
superiority.  I would argue that for football it may have actually started
with Charlie Pell for it was with him that the expectation of a winner
became compelling for football.  It was also Pell's team (Galen was the
interim coach) that won the first SEC championship in 1984.  (It  was later
stripped by the SEC Presidents.)  Also, for those that thought the Pell was
evil because of getting them on probation, I would remind them that what
Charlie did back then was the same as Bear, Shug, and Dooley and was just
the way things were done.

Second, he supported every sports team on campus with his attendance and

RE: [gatortalk] Coach Spurrier

[Jerry Belloit]

Ray Graves was very important.  He hired Charlie Pell.  He also hired Doug
Dickey.  (Doug Dickey, in spite of his boring style of football was still a
Gator and I am sure was expected to improve on Ray Graves' record.
Unfortunately, he did not do as well as Graves and was replaced after a 4-7
season in 1978.  Doug Dickey, however, should be especially credited for his
hire of his quarterback coach in his last season.  It was the first coaching
job of a former San Francisco backup quarterback named.you guessed it,
Steven Orr Spurrier. )  I agree that Ray Graves' contribution was important,
but I don't believe the attitude of the fans in terms of expectations really
changed significantly until Charlie Pell.  

 

As for Dr. Cade, I believe his greatest contribution was to the university
proper.  His millions have provided the University with the funding to move
from just another flagship state university to a first class institution in
the top tier of universities in the world.  

 

By the way, I forgot how important the Tennessee connection was to Florida.
Ray Graves played for Tennessee and after three years of playing for the
Philadelphia Eagles, returned as a Vol coach for two years before returning
to pro football.  After a stint at Arkansas and Georgia Tech Ray Graves cam
to Florida.  Doug Dickey, on the other hand was a Florida QB who was a very
successful coach at Tennessee before Ray Graves hired him away to replace
him at Florida.  After a decent career at Florida, Dickey return to be the
AD at Tennessee where he retired.

Dan Wenger

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Florida took the field for the spring game with six
healthy offensive linemen, but the Gators are back to full strength heading
into training camp. In fact, they added one more lineman.

Coach Will Muschamp confirmed the
http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2011-05-27/sports/os-dan-wenger-transfe
r-florida-0527-20110527_1_mike-pouncey-center-dan-wenger-charlie-weis
transfer of Dan Wenger, a former Notre Dame center who left the school after
missing the 2010 season because he suffered two concussions early in the
year. The Fighting Irish's medical staff didn't clear Wenger to return, but
Muschamp said the UF staff has cleared the 6-foot-4, 298-pound center.

Wenger played for UF offensive coordinator Charlie Weis when Weis was head
coach at Notre Dame, and he also played for offensive line coach Frank
Verducci for one year.

Yeah, he's working out with our football team and has been a guy that was
in Charlie's system there at Notre Dame and played for George (Smith) down
at St. Thomas (Aquinas) and a guy that brings some toughness, wants to be a
coach, wants to be a strength coach, Muschamp said at SEC Media Days on
Wednesday.

He's a hard-nosed tough kid. . To have him for a year is a bonus for us.

It's never too early to talk about next year's NFL draft, right? Of course
not. 

Well, ESPN colleague Mel Kiper recently made a list of his top-five juniors
and seniors at each position and 12 SEC seniors made Kiper's list -- it
would have been 13 if not for the dismissal of former Florida cornerback
Janoris Jenkins, who is rated as the No. 3 corner on Kiper's list. 

Here is the list of SEC
http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/insider/columns/story?id=6562823 seniors on
Kiper's list: 

Running backs: 

*   No. 5:
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=381277 Jeffery
Demps, Florida 

Offensive guards: 

*   No. 3: Cordy Glenn, Georgia 
*   No. 4: Rokevious Watkins, South Carolina 

Centers:

My thoughts: 

*   It's interesting to see Demps on this list. Yes, he has incredible
speed and there isn't a player in the country that can catch him after he
hits a hole and finds some space, but he has size (5-8, 190 pounds) and
durability issues. He injured his foot last season against Tennessee when he
carried the ball more than 20 times and was never the same in 2010. Demps
needs to stay healthy and excel in Charlie Weis' pro-style offense this fall
in order to stay on this list. Also, I expect Ole Miss'
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=382707 Brandon
Bolden to creep onto this list. He's one of the most underrated players in
the SEC. 

*   Tennessee's Malik Jackson and South Carolina's Travian Robertson
have the ability to nudge their way into the list of top defensive tackles
with solid seasons this fall. Also, Arkansas' Jerry Franklin and Kentucky's
Danny Trevathan will push get in on the action at linebacker. I think
Franklin has, like, 1,000 career tackles at this point. 

*   I like the love Hayward got. He hasn't gotten a ton of national
attention, but he would start on just about any team in the SEC.

[Jerry Belloit]

Good get Woody!

This is a complicated issue and the article does a reasonable job laying out
the revenue/expense side.  

In the article, the author correctly points out that the AA has budgeted six
million to go to the general university operations.  The author also points
out that the shortfall between tuition and costs to educate is about $4,000.
This means that about two million of the six million are reimbursing the
university for the $4,000 shortfall for its 500 athletes.  I suspect that
the $4,000 is a conservative estimate and probably does not include capital
expenditures.  It is then appropriate for the AA to pay extra to contribute
to capital costs.

Complicating the whole cost/benefit analysis is the marketing (branding)
value of a successful sports program.  While it costs the university little
to nothing for this benefit, it is nevertheless huge.

Pay for play: Florida
July, 12, 2011 Jul 1211:00AM ET
By Edward Aschoff

Florida's athletic department isn't hurting for money (One caveat
here: These numbers came from the U.S. Department of Education and are
for the 2009-10 seasons. If schools receive Title IV funding, federal
statute requires them to report the financials for their athletic
department and this has what should be included in each category, such
as broadcast revenues, concessions and advertising. The U.S.
Department of Education also has the most complete school data because
it is the only entity that has both public and private institutional
information).

PAY FOR PLAY
Sport  Revenue  Expense
Football (111)  $68,715,750  $24,457,557
Men's basketball (14)  $10,184,136  $7,908,661
Other sports -- Men's (178)  $1,375,526  $6,687,001
Other sports -- Women's (248)  $2,802,512  $15,632,181
What a full scholarship entails: In-state: $15,290
Out of state: $41,012
Cost of attendance: In-state: $19,820
Out of state: $45,542
Total: $28,392,524
Student fees: $52.38
Amount athletics receives from student fees: $2,507,391

In fact, Florida is doing so well that according to the 2011-12
budget, the University Athletic Association is expected to return $6
million to the university for the second straight year. The UAA has
actually helped the university as it faced major financial cuts. Since
1990, more than $60 million has been given back from the UAA to the
university.

Obviously, the breadwinner of Florida's athletic family is the
football program. It ranked second only behind Georgia ($52,529,885)
for football profit ($44,258,193) in the SEC. That profit covered all
of the school's other sports and then some. According to the 2011-12
budget, revenue increased by a little more than $2.2 million from the
2010-11 budget, primarily because of a $2.3-million increase in
football game revenue due to an increase in season- and single-game
ticket prices.

The SEC revenue from bowl games, television contracts and
championships is projected to be $17 million in 2011-12, as well for
Florida.

So while Florida's athletic department is cruising along -- despite
the tough financial times in the real world -- it's hard to say if
Florida could get away with paying its student-athletes. There are
more than 500 athletes at Florida, and if the school was going to
start compensating athletes, it would have to cover every single one
-- both revenue and non-revenue sports athletes.

Florida's revenues have increased, but so have expenses. The 2011-12
budget increased by $3.2 million from last year's, including $1.5
million from men's and women's scholarships because of tuition and
fees administered by the university, as well as increases in room and
board costs.

However, it is important to note that athletes' scholarship money
appears to be more than $4,000 less than the school's cost of
attendance, these numbers are estimates from the university rather
than exact figures. Cost of living and everyday expenses are certainly
different for every athlete.

But for Florida to start adding to athletes' wallets, the UAA would
have to ask for more from its boosters (the UAA projects that it will
receive $36 million from Gator Boosters this year) and get more from
its endowment, which currently funds athletic scholarships. The UAA
might also have to go into debt to cover the new expenses or cut
facility spending money.

There could also be a scenario where students outside of athletics
might have to help fund the UAA through increased student fees.

With some money movement, Florida could eventually support paying its
athletes, but Florida is just one of few exceptions. There would have
to be sacrifices, and if Florida would have this much work to do,
smaller schools with smaller budgets and much less revenue would have
little to no chance of even thinking of paying athletes.

RE: [gatortalk] GatorTalk Poll: First game of the year

[Jerry Belloit]

Zeb,

I am not sure, but I believe that Title IX is a more of a scholarship and
facilities parity rather than total spending.  Looking at the current
budget, we are probably at parity.  I don't think the law would require
exactly the same numbers at all times--that would not be realistic since
students come and go at all times during a year.  I also think that there is
probably something related to the gender breakdown of the student
population.  I cannot imagine that VMI would have to have the same number of
women's athletic scholarships as men's.  Neither would I imagine that Wells
College would be required to add more men's sports.

It's been a while, but the allowances are along the lines of

if there is an inequity (and there was at every university with a major
football program), then

1. the inequity must not be allowed to worsen; and

2. the university must show progress towards eliminating that inequity

#1 applies at all points in time. So, a school that might have been 85-15 at
the time Title IX was adopted and improves to 65-35 cann't backslide to
70-30.

In short, assuming that most sports (track, swimming) have equal men's and
women's scholarships, a school with a scholarship football program needs
additional women-only sports that add up to 85 scholarships before it can
think of adding a men's sport.

So, UF has been in compliance as it has continually progressed towards
eliminating the inequity that existed at Title IX's adoption, even if parity
has not yet been achieved.

Student fees are probably used to subsidize the student purchases of
tickets.  They are probably paid by the students and are consequently not
regular university money.  I believe that the university simply acts as an
agent for those funds.

So, the University gives the UAA $2.5 million and receives $6 million back.

Allegations did surface but no formal NCAA charges have been filed against
Cam Newton. (The Associated Press)

By Kevin Brockway
Gainesville SUN Staff writer

Published: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 12:00 p.m.

Last Modified: Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at 12:09 a.m.

 

 

CBSSports.com conducted a poll Monday, asking which conference was the
dirtiest in college football.

By 8 p.m., the verdict was clear. The Southeastern Conference garnered 66
percent of more than 30,000 votes. No other major conference had more than
15 percent.

Is it justified? Consider that two of the major college football scandals in
the past five years have involved Ohio State (a Big Ten school) and USC (a
Pac 12 school). North Carolina, from the ACC, might not be too far behind.
The Tar Heels program was recently slapped with nine NCAA violations,
allegations ranging from academic fraud to failure to monitor player off
field activities to unethical ties between assistant coaches and NFL agents.

The SEC had an issue last season with former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton,
who was quietly declared ineligible by the NCAA one day only to be declared
eligible the day after that. Allegations surfaced that Newton's father,
through a third party, attempted to sell his son's services to former SEC
rival Mississippi State. But no formal NCAA charges have been filed against
Newton, who led Auburn to a 2010 BCS title. 

SEC commissioner Mike Slive made it his mandate when he took the job to get
and keep programs off NCAA probation. Alabama had a textbook scandal on
campus that forced the school to vacate wins under former coach Mike Shula.
But other than that, schools in the conference have remained fairly clean
under Slive's watch. 

So is the SEC a dirty football conference? What are your thoughts?

 

 

NO!

RE: [gatortalk] GatorTalk Poll: First game of the year

Randy,

 

You make a good point about scheduling a tough opponent.  While I might
prefer to see a better quality opponent, it is probably not in our best
interest.  The SEC is strong enough internally to get our SOS high enough to
be competitive in the BCS.

I really questioned if I wanted to chime in on this discussion.

 

Personally, I am fine with the way our schedule is set up.  I would rather
have two games at home against patsies as opposed to a home and home with a
head knocker.  And really that is what everybody wants, a game against a top
25 team  from another conference.   I mean whenever this discussion comes up
the teams mentioned are the Texas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Ohio State, USC
(west), Stanford, nobody ever says why don't we do home and home with
Baylor, Northwestern, Iowa State, Kansas or  anybody from the big east.  And
just for the record, it takes two to tango, I feel pretty confident that
other schools would want a home and home anymore than we want one with them.
The only reason you play those games is to enhance your reputation.  I
believe major college athletics in general and football specifically are a
business and about making money, but not just television and gate revenues,
but licensing revenues and booster/donor contributions as well.  There is no
doubt in my mind that Jeremy Foley is equivalent to a CEO of a major
corporation. 

 

Another reason I like the schedule format as is, it ensures I get an extra
visit to Gainesville.  Being a season ticket, I attend all the home games,
hot, cold, rain or shine. So if you go to a home and home it would eliminate
a visit.  Since I have already stated that money is the driving factor, I
believe I would still be paying about $1,000.00 (including booster
contribution) for six games instead of seven.

 

I also see nothing to be gained by playing a tougher out of conference
opponent.  I only see a downside.  Regardless of winning or losing,  a
tougher opponent will not get us any closer to the SECCG or the MNCG, we
still need to win our division and the SECCG to get to the MNCG.  However, I
believe such a game may cause us to lose an SEC game due to injuries or
fatigue.  Therefore, I see no upside potential in such a game.  Granted the
game would be exciting and fun to watch, but I can wait to catch them in a
bowl game.

 

I really have not thought about the impact such a series of scheduling would
have on other teams.  My point being how do the UAB's, UCF's, FAU's of this
world improve their lot, since no one wants to play them because they are
deemed a patsy.  Now, Div I-AA (Furman for us this year) or whatever it is
called now, I can see eliminating those games in favor of Div I teams, but I
am not sure everybody could get a 12 game schedule without them.

 

Anyway, I like the schedule because it give me more chances to get to
Gainesville.

I believe e do get a larger share.  I believe that the TV revenue is divided
by the number of SEC schools +2.  (1 for the SEC office and one extra for
the participating school.  The participating school then gets:   (2 * TV
revenue) / (SEC schools +2).   I think the TV revenue from regular season
games among SEC teams that are televised is divided by the # of schools +1.

No one has mentioned the extra TV money that comes from playing a quality
opponent in a home/away setting.

If UF scheduled Michigan , for instance, we'd not have the gate on away
games, but wouldn't that be made up in TV revenue?

We'd be on during Prime Time and, surely there would be more money from
CBS/ESPN for a night game.

NO!  I think Title IX was  a good thing.The obvious intent of the law
was to achieve sports funding parity for the genders.  If the money pie does
not grow, then the money must be redistributed.  The alternative was to grow
the pie, which at the time was not a likely option.  It is unfortunate that
there is not the same consumer enthusiasm for all sports so that all sports
would be self funding.  (I should add that I do believe that the university
DID kick in quite a bit of new money to fund women's sports.  There was not
enough savings from the wrestling program to fund women's sports by

because it was not that popular of a sport in the south.)

 

Even though my roommate was a wrestler, I never got to go to see a match.
Perhaps some of you can comment on the size of the crowd there.  I don't
think they charged admission back then so I doubt that wrestling was a
revenue sport.  (I know at least students were not charged admission for
anything but football back then.  I remember walking into Alligator Alley by
just flashing my ID.)

 

It is ironic that where I teach now, wrestling is our only D1 sport and it
is probably revenue neutral or may even turn a small profit to help
subsidize the other sports.  For many years the wrestlers would outdraw the
basketball team and sometimes even the football team in attendance.

Helen, 

 

I rarely disagree with you on things, but I believe Title IX was the direct
cause the elimination of men's wrestling.  It is true that the Title IX did
not REQUIRE the elimination of any men's sports, but it did required that
the spending on men's and women's sports be equalized.  At the time, I
believe that the football team was the only team that made money.  The
profit from the football team then had to support the rest of the men's
and women's sports.  Since there were not enough surplus dollars to fund
women's sports at the required level, spending on men's sports had to be
curtailed.  Thus the elimination of men's wrestling.  Florida's endowments
were not sufficiently large to be able to fund additional women's sports so
the money had to come from the profit from the football team.  If Florida
would have had endowments like Stanford, we would have not needed to  cut
any sports and could have archery, rowing, etc. and would be the perennial
winner of the All Sport's trophy formerly known as the Sear's Cup.

I agree with Rob. It's not about how much UAA needs, it's about how much
it can get.

 

Title IX doesn't require the elimination of any men's teams. It requires
parity. Instead of choosing to spend some additional money on women's teams
to make spending fairer, some universities choose to transfer money from
men's sports to women's sports.

 saying that the
amount of money needed to have added two women's sports instead of
eliminating two mens' sports was well within the AA's discretion. 





One thing we seem to overlook when talking about this is not just the
benefit of continuing the two men's sports in question, but the foregone
benefits of having two more women's sports. At my college, about forty
percent of our women are on a varsity sports team. At a large university
like UF, those opportunities are much harder to come by and we should be
looking for ways to make them possible. It should be about the students. 

 

As with all financial decisions, this one was a choice. We didn't 'have to'
eliminate those sports and we don't 'have to' have seven home games a year.
We choose those things, and people of good faith may disagree about whether
they were (are) good choices. I disagree with both, even while respecting
overall the job our AA does with sports at UF.

One thing that's been overlooked in this discussion, as far as I can tell,
is that while we may or not be able to read Jeremy Foley's mind, or
extrapolate accurately what he may or may not do based on past decisions,
none of us are privy to what he knows about as to where, when, how, any why
some of that pie may dry up.

 

Like it or not, football is the economic engine that drives the UFAA. It's
admirable that they not only provide enough athletic opportunities for women
to meet Title IX obligations, but to fund them to the extent that they have
every opportunity to compete at the highest level.

 

There are things that could be done, such as paying less for football
coaches, that would allow for more student athletes to play in more sports -
at least temporarily.

 

For better or worse, there are big money boosters that would not write
checks as big as they currently do if they didn't think EVERYTHING that
could be done to be at the top of that sport was being done. 

 

Keeping the big bulls happy is a big part of the job.

 

I believe that's the reality - whether or not you think that should be is
probably at the real heart of this debate.

I would too.  The problem Foley has is that we have to find good teams that
will not want a home-and-home.  Good teams will demand that.  Major teams
need the six home games for revenue.  Only teams that do not have a great
revenue source from home games can afford to play away games without a
return home game.  That being said, I wonder why Miami doesn't play us here
every year.  They don't do that well with their home games, do they?

I appreciate your argument, but I don't know if the AA could break even with
6.5 games.  We turn a profit (one of very few universities) but it is not
relatively that large.  I believe the NCAA added an extra game precisely
because it lowered the amount of money the teams were losing.  (I believe
that the reason that universities are willing to subsidize sporting programs
is because they figure that the subsidy is a marketing expense and will pay
for itself with additional student demand.)

Fran,

I agree that the games should be night games early in the season.
Obviously, the big problem was the TV.  I believe that the Ohio game last
year was moved to a noon kickoff to accommodate the TV schedule.  The
problem for the TV folks is that not enough people would like to see Central
Michigan vs. Bowling Green or whatever Northern matchup that might make some
sense.

taking advantage of us, our money and our loyalty.   If I had really looked
at the schedule this year, I might not have renewed my season

RE: [gatortalk] SPAM coming from my old email address

[Jerry Belloit]

Randy,

 

I wondered about that when I saw the address since I knew you no longer used
that address.  I thought that perhaps you may have kept the account active,
hence my reply to you.  It is interesting and a little frightening that
their server was hacked using information that old.  I will simply block
sender from that account.

 

I would be interested in hearing if Comcast gets back with you.

Friends and Family:

 

Let me assure you that I am NOT sending you email recommending various
products that will enhance your vacations, education or sex life. It appears
someone has hacked the Comcast mail servers, retrieved old emails, and
harvested the addresses contained in those emails. The reason I am sure they
didn't hack MY computer is because all of the SPAM email is allegedly coming
from my old Comcast address, which was cancelled over a year ago. As far as
I know, no one has received SPAM from my current email address.

 

My apologies for any inconvenience, but please be assured it is NOT coming
from me. I recommend checking your address book and if the
randall.ly...@comcast.net address is still there, delete it. That's the
first place your SPAM filter will look before accepting a suspicious email.
If the address is NOT in your address book, those emails will be treated as
SPAM and moved to the appropriate folder.

 

I have reported this to Comcast, but I doubt if I'll get a reply, since I'm
no longer a customer.

 

Randy

[Jerry Belloit]

I am not sure this is a good idea.  My wife and I quit going to the
Florida-Georgia game even though I had season tickets because of all of the
drunkenness that went on at that game.  The vulgar language, spilled drinks,
and fighting were just too much.  I can only imagine that selling beer would
make it worse.

 

That being said, it is just a shame that the actions of a few can ruin
things for the majority.  While I personally do not drink, last year at the
Ohio game (at my first game in 20 years) I will admit that a cool beer would
have been refreshing in that heat!

The administrators at West Virginia University are certainly taking steps to
ensure that their decision to sell beer during football and basketball games
goes off without a hitch. Patrons can only buy two beers at a time, all must
present a valid ID and there will be increased security. To limit the number
of fans driving home drunk, the school will stop selling beer during the
third quarter. 

Yep, it seems like the Mountaineer administration has got all of its bases
covered. 

But aren't all of these steps a tacit admission that selling beer will cause
an awful lot of problems? Increased security means the school expects more
unruly fans, and expects to be throwing more people out games. This from a
school whose fans made the papers last year for throwing objects on the
court at a basketball game giving a Pittsburgh assistant -- as well as the
school's public image -- a black eye. 

Stopping sales in the third quarter is a nice touch, but it's not going to
be enough time to let the thirstier fans sober up. The roads away from the
stadium after a football game are already full of semi-lost drivers trying
uncomfortably to find their way back to the freeway. Adding a bunch of drunk
drivers will just be throwing a match on the powder keg. 

There will be more accidents, injuries and even deaths, guaranteed. Is the
extra revenue really worth it? The fact is that in the United States we are
fortunate enough to have both college and professional sports. The pros
allow a place where people can go watch adults play the game, and get
hammered while they do it. College athletics has always been about a more
family-friendly atmosphere. The athletes are still kids, and it's fun for
parents to bring their children to their alma maters and root for the home
team. 

Both are fun in their own, unique way. There's no reason to try and merge
the two. If even one person loses their life because of this decision, it
obviously won't be worth it.

Whether you like it or not, college football has become of a world of haves
and have-nots. Schools like Texas and Alabama have everything they need to
compete for their conference title and the national title year after year.
Other schools, stuck in the middle of the pack, are left struggling to win
games and get fans in the seats on a consistent basis. There are many
factors that cause the rift between the top and the middle, prestige,
coaching, scouting, quality of players, and more. 

In the end, unfortunately, it ends up all boiling down to one major issue,
one major difference between the few top dogs and the many dogs struggling
to get their one bone - money. 

There is one option they do have that can help. It doesn't end with this
change, but it's, at the very least, a start. They let beer be sold at their
games. 

Even though some people would like to think otherwise, beer has become a
major part of college football games for college students. Often times,
students will choose to stay at their beer-soaked tailgate rather than go to
the game itself. Even more likely, students will leave games at halftime to
go continue their pre-game drinking - not exactly conducive fan behavior for
building a big time college football program. In Morgantown, WV., they're
far ahead of the curve. One of the more fortunate programs in college
football, West Virginia, recently passed an amendment to proposition 18 -
allowing beer to be sold in their stadium.

I'm against selling alcohol at college football games because I think it
would be detrimental to the experience of a lot of fans. Bad behavior of
drunk fans is a major reason that we don't go to Bucs games. 

 

I wouldn't mind selling beer at basketball games because I don't think bad
behavior would be as much of a problem. The game is shorter, you don't have
extended tailgating/drinking before the game and fans are just less rowdy in
general. However, I suppose you wouldn't be able to do it for basketball
without doing it for football.

I'm against selling alcohol at college football games because I think it
would be detrimental to the experience of a lot of fans. Bad behavior of
drunk fans is a major reason that we don't go to Bucs games.

 

I wouldn't mind selling beer at basketball games because I don't think bad
behavior would be as much of a problem. The game is shorter, you don't have
extended tailgating/drinking before the game and fans are just less rowdy in
general. However, I suppose you wouldn't be able to do it for basketball
without doing it for football.

make it worse.

 

That being said, it is just a shame that the actions of a few can ruin
things for the majority.  While I personally do not drink, last year at the
Ohio game (at my first game in 20 years) I will admit that a cool beer would
have been refreshing in that heat!

RE: [gatortalk] Best campsite near Gville

[Jerry Belloit]

The best thing for insects is permethrin spray.  Mist your clothing  and
tent with it.  It will last for four + washings.  On your tent, it will last
about two weeks.  Repel makes a good spray or Bass Pro Shops sells a very
good quart sprayer.  For your skin, you could use deet.  Concentrations
above 20% are probably overkill and could irritate your skin.

RE: [gatortalk] Best campsite near Gville

[Jerry Belloit]

Leon,

I don't know where you get your information about Permethrin.  It is not
highly toxic in its consumer form.  The concentrations are very safe in the
consumer form sold.  You can by the REPEL version many places.  It is for
clothing and dries into a very stable long-acting repellant.  This is the
compound that is used to treat the nets used in Africa.  I think what you
may have read about is people using it applied to their skin while also
using DMSO our something similar.  In its more concentrated forms (10% and
above) you should take handling precautions and should be licensed to use
it.  However, in the products I recommended, if you use it as directed, they
are quite safe.  If you decide to bathe in it or drink it, I suppose that it
would give you problems.  By the way, the Permethrin is not particularly
problematic.  However, some of the solvents used to hold it are, but again,
not in those products I suggested.  

Permethrin is a synthetic version of a naturally found plant organic,
pyrethrum.  It is just more effective and doesn't have many of the other
organics found with it.

Deet at the 100% concentration can irritate the skin.  It is no more
effective than the 25% version.  It does not last any longer.  The mechanism
for DEET is that it confuses the insect and makes everything around it seem
like food.  Consequently the insect cannot target in on you.  Permethrin
actually repels the insect.  If it tries to challenge the permethrin, it
will be a fatal mistake for the insect.  The insects simply will not
challenge it.

When I am worried about being bit, I will put my clothing on a hanger and
spray it with the permethrin solution and allow it to dry.  If I am not
going to use the clothing right away, I put it in a sealed Ziploc bag.  The
effectiveness of the permethrin will be preserved for quite some time.  Once
worn, you can usually wash the garment for at least four washings or about a
month's time before it loses its effectiveness.

Don't do this. Highly toxic. Use sulfur powder dust on socks, lower pants,
not skin. Buy Repel, 100 % deet, on skin and clothing to repel biting
insects.  Also, don't wear royal blue, as it attracts biting insects.

RE: [gatortalk] I love Sullivan's Gator Chop

[Jerry Belloit]

Thanks Rob,

 

The problem I have is that much of the content is developed on a MAC in
ProPresenter or Keynotes as well as some QuickTime Video.  Unfortunately,
the conversion stuff is not that reliable.  For example, I exported content
from Keynotes into PowerPoint.  The conversion was not seamless and had to
be reformatted.  In some cases, some of the features had no equivalent in
PowerPoint.  Likewise, there is no conversion from PowerPoint into Keynotes
that works well.  It is true that Keynote can open a PowerPoint file, but it
again is not seamless.

 

I was told that Windows 7 (using bootstrap) was faster than on a PC.  Do you
know of any sites that might address these issues?  It seems like that may
be an acceptable alternative.  I have considered just running the Mac
version of Office but I am worried about the conversion issues should I need
to interface with a PC.

Saying that the MacBook will run windows better than a PC is a real stretch.
That is not our experience. 

 

At our college, we have tested a variety of Macs running Windows, both on
Parallels (a virtual machine environment) and in Bootcamp (booting the
entire computer in Windows). The results were mixed. 

 

Running any virtual environment is shaky at best, both from compatibility
and performance perspectives. That's also true of Microsoft's and
third-party options. Regular stuff ran, but not smoothly and quickly.
Scientific software often didn't run at all. 

 

In Bootcamp, regular business apps ran fine, though no better or faster than
on a PC, but we had two or three major technical applications that would
run, either unreliably or not at all. ArcGIS was one. The others were some
mathematical and chemical modeling programs, if I recall correctly. We
ultimately decided against buying Macs to run as PCs because of the
compatibility problems.

 

A few other comments on your situation. 

 

All regular business software either has a direct Mac equivalent (e.g. MS
Office) or a solid Mac alternative. If you want to go with a Mac, there will
be good business options for software. Unless you need something specialized
that doesn't have a Mac equivalent, there's no reason you couldn't just go
all Mac. 

 

I wasn't sure from what you said if there are already other Macs in place in
your church. If so, then I see your compatibility dilemma. If not, then
there is nothing a Mac can do graphically that a PC cannot. That old saw
about Macs being better for graphics hasn't had serious merit since the
early 1990s, and has been a nonsensical idea since the time that Apple moved
to the Intel platform. There's no reason you can't do the same graphics and
presentations on a Windows system as on a Mac unless you're constrained by
other existing computers. 

 

Random thoughts...

RE: [gatortalk] Double Standard

I am sure you must have had my salads many times.  I started An Apple A
Day for my father, Johnny, after he retired and could not stand it.  You
probably knew him if you went in at lunch.  I would usually open and close.
During the day, I taught at UNF.  We kept it until he had a major stroke and
could not longer run the business.

Hey, cool... what business was it, Jerry?  I used to work in the old Gulf 
Life building, now the Modis building... and then in the Barnett Tower, now 
Bank of America so we walked to the Landing for lunch at least a couple of 
times a week.

You're probably right about cops dealing with drunk kids out in public at 
places like the Landing.  I'm mostly talking about cops breaking up parties 
in private homes.  When I was a kid, they'd just make sure none of us were 
driving and that we had permission to be there (since parents were usually 
out of town at the party house ;-) ).  Now, their treatment is so harsh and 
well known (arresting kids, writing citations for everyone present) that the

kids are prone to run... and then sneak back later and drive their cars home

even if they were originally intending to spend the night at the party 
house.  In St. Johns County, they call all the kids' parents (some of the 
kids still run but not nearly are as afraid of their parents as are afraid 
of being arrested) and ask them to come get them, making sure they don't 
drive away from the site.  In Duval County, they are just as likely to call 
for a wagon and take them all downtown.  :-/  Even if they don't charge 
them, that seems unreasonable to me... or maybe especially if they don't 
charge them.  I know one thing for sure... I haven't seen it deter a single 
kid from drinking again the next time.

Cee, probably in THFGT territory already

 That is surprising.  I have not lived in Jacksonville for 20 years.  I had

 a
 business then in the Jax Landing.  (I had one of the original ones there.
 We sold it to a Russian Couple after we had been there 10 years.)  I got 
 to
 know quite a few of the Jacksonville police and I did not see the kind of
 abuse you are talking about.  There were times that I was amazed how well
 they maintained their composure when they would be dealing with drunk kids
 at the Landing.

 Jerry... I agree with you about the drinking age.  Raising it to 21 hasn't
 done a thing to curtail teenage drinking, and it seems a lot worse now 
 than
 it was when I was in high school.  There was definitely drinking back in 
 the

 day, but it didn't seem quite so widespread.  I mean... there were SOME
 parties where there wasn't any alcohol available.  Now, not so much.

 The cops in Duval have definitely changed.  I don't remember them hassling
 us at all when I used to come up here from G'ville for football games and
 concerts, and it certainly wasn't because we weren't breaking any laws. 
 ;-)

 There is a weird dynamic going on here that would be more appropriately
 discussed only on THFGT... and maybe not even there.  But it's very 
 obvious
 to those of us who live here, especially those who have teenagers.
 Meanwhile, St. Johns County cops are either mellower or just seem so in
 comparison to the ones in Duval.

I am not sure that the police selectively enforce the law in Gainesville
 relative to Miami.  The scale of activity in Miami is so much greater 
 than
 Gainesville.  The 2009 population of Dade County is about 2.5 million.
 The
 population of Alachua County is about 40.  The number of football
 players is about 100 in each.  Thus, football players are about 8 times
 more
 likely to be seen in Alachua County vs. Dade County.  Complicating the
 analysis, Dade County has many more times the number of police 
 departments
 vs. Alachua County.

 I think one of the big differences in Gainesville today vs. when I lived
 there from 1971-1978 was that the legal drinking age was 18 when I
 arrived.
 I personally believe that raising the drinking age from 18 to 21 has
 increased the alcohol problem rather than reduced it.  Drinking had no
 mystique when I was in college.  I had been drinking for several years
 before college

RE: [gatortalk] Janoris Jenkins

[Jerry Belloit]

If he can be reinstated and finish his senior season with the productivity
he has shown in the past, he will earn many millions more.  His character
issue will cost him dearly.  He is not likely going to sit out a year and
enroll in another BCS program.  He could sign with an old D-II team, but he
will not get the exposure to elevate his draft status.  Consequently, if he
does not try to stay at Florida, he will likely go in the supplemental
draft.  There are two problems with that.  First it does not have near the
exposure (and high signing bonuses that the regular draft has) and with the
contract problems, he may not get a contract at all.  

 

If he had gone out last this year and not come back for his senior season
and the problems he has had, he would likely have been picked yesterday.
His poor judgment has cost him millions already.  If he is unable to work
his way back to the Gators, he will lose millions more.

I'm not all that impressed with Muschamp kicking Jenkins off the team.

In his remarks about he said the he and Janoris discussed it and they
decided it was better for Janoris to move on in his career.

Suppose Janoris wasn't eligible for the draft.  Would Muschamp have kicked
him off then?

I think this was an opportune moment for the new coach and Jenkins both.  

Poor Janoris will only make $50 or more next year.

That said, I suppose it's good it worked out this way.  Makes Muschamp look

drinking was usually a beer or two after work or with pizza.  I rarely
remember people drinking too much.  If they did, the rest of us would
intervene and would make sure that they did not drive.  If the police ever
caught us, we would promise to get those who had drank too much safely home.
The only bad experience I ever remember about the police was the one I told
about the St. Augustine police.

Even in Gainesville, during my early college years, the Gainesville police

got along pretty well with the local government.  I even served as the vice

I am not sure if there has been a paradigm change with local government and
the police department over the years relative to their attitude toward
students.  I have read where some local governments in Florida (and
elsewhere) have increased prosecutions (tickets) in order to generate
revenue.  That was true of Lawtey, and some suggested Waldo, but not true of

I simply can not believe for a moment that Miami's football players are 10
times less likely than UF's to commit a minor or petty infraction of the
law.

I just don't believe it.

What is probable is that UF players are more likely to be arrested for the
same activities.

Look at Jenkins. In 20 years of practicing law, I have never heard of anyone
being charged with affray. Really.

And why was he arrested this last time? Because an officer saw him smoking a
cigar in a car. I've seen lots of people smoke cigars in cars; never seen
anyone stopped for questioning.

After being stopped for questioning, the officer stated he smelled marijuana
and ultimately found a small amount of it. An amount so small that it is not
even a crime in some states.

I don't know if it is that things that get overlooked in a big city like
Miami get noticed in a small town; local resentment of football players, or
even possibly racism; but there is a systematic problem here and I don't
think that it is the conduct of our football players. We recruit the same
exact players as Miami and FSU and their arrest records look spotless
compared to UF's.

I don't think that Jenkins should have been punished, much less thrown off
the team. I can't think of a single friend I had in college whose actions
wouldn't make Jenkins look like a saint in comparison. They are now doctors,
lawyers, engineers and judges.

I also think that an anti-UF bias is why the total number of arrests is
attracting attention and not the minor nature of the infractions. Who knows,
but if I were a potential recruit right now, I'd pick a school where I could
fly under the radar.

RE: [gatortalk] Double Standard

That is surprising.  I have not lived in Jacksonville for 20 years.  I had a
business then in the Jax Landing.  (I had one of the original ones there.
We sold it to a Russian Couple after we had been there 10 years.)  I got to
know quite a few of the Jacksonville police and I did not see the kind of
abuse you are talking about.  There were times that I was amazed how well
they maintained their composure when they would be dealing with drunk kids
at the Landing.

Jerry... I agree with you about the drinking age.  Raising it to 21 hasn't 
done a thing to curtail teenage drinking, and it seems a lot worse now than 
it was when I was in high school.  There was definitely drinking back in the

day, but it didn't seem quite so widespread.  I mean... there were SOME 
parties where there wasn't any alcohol available.  Now, not so much.

The cops in Duval have definitely changed.  I don't remember them hassling 
us at all when I used to come up here from G'ville for football games and 
concerts, and it certainly wasn't because we weren't breaking any laws.  ;-)

There is a weird dynamic going on here that would be more appropriately 
discussed only on THFGT... and maybe not even there.  But it's very obvious 
to those of us who live here, especially those who have teenagers. 
Meanwhile, St. Johns County cops are either mellower or just seem so in 
comparison to the ones in Duval.

the new name is .


by  http://recruiting.blogs.gatorsports.com/author/barlis/ Jeff Barlis
(Gainesville SUN)

 

 

Welcome one and all to my new blog, Gator Prospectus, a name that I think
tells you all you need to know.

 

pro.spec.tus - a statement that forecasts the course or nature of something.

 

I want to thank everyone who submitted their ideas, but one crazed
recruitnik stood above the rest. Anyone who regularly reads the comments
here is aware of quickenedspirit and his penchant for, um, lots of words.

 

I was amazed to receive a couple hundred submissions (you guys are
terrific), but at least 40-50 of them were from quickened. So when I decided
upon the winner, it was no surprise that I saw Gator Prospectus among his
submissions.

 

Because there were so many suggestions, I strongly considered picking a top
5 and putting it to a vote. But I'm pretty sure Gator or Bait? would have
won, and there was something I just didn't love about that name. I thought
Orange and Blue Chips was a strong contender.  As for some of the losers,
Gator Cyclist was very lame Oliver and Gator Kayakers was even more lame
Jay.  I was really hoping for better from some of you.  Gator Tokers was
very funny Zeb, Randy  Cee, but in light of current events, we felt it best
to stay away from that title.

I like to park off 8th Ave and walk.  It's just part of the experience for
me, especially since we cut through the woods right by JJ Finley and get to
walk through the tail-Gators there.  ;-)  We come out right by the
Foundation/Alum building, go in there for a little while, then head to the
game... or, depending on the time of day, we might head up to Cafe Gardens
and have lunch first.  After the game, we walk back through what we hope is
a celebratory crowd, get in our car and scoot right out of town.  No traffic
whatsoever.

I think Stephen is right that getting older makes it more difficult to get
past the physical discomforts of attending a Gator game. I really do not
like attending a noon game in September and I hate it that TV takes
precedence over the fans. It is difficult to feel appreciated by the UAA in
that situation and when years (or decades) of buying tickets aren't enough
to entitle you to tickets to the big postseason games. Still there is
nothing like being part of the crowd for a big game when the Gators come
away with a win. 

Our seats now cost us $2,000 a year, but at least we get four of them, and
we really like our view. The best part is that no one can stand in front of
us and we can sit down if that's what we want to do. Now that our kids are
grown, we are talking about eventually trying to find somebody to share the
tickets with us and cutting back on the games we attend. I would hate to
ever give them up as they've been in the family for more than 30 years.

Charlie's story about the OB game and the various responses to it do
indicate the value of planning ahead when attending a game. I definitely
believe in going up early enough to avoid the traffic jams. We always park
in the parking garage down by the cancer center, which is free. You also get
out quickly after the game. If you're willing to walk a little, you can't
beat it.

When I lived in Jacksonville, that is where I parked as well.  Now, if I can
make it back to a game, we have to head in the other direction and catch the
Interstate.  There simply don't seem to be any good options when you need to
go west.  Parking on 34th Street or even the law school lot is a worse walk
than 8th Ave.

Year before last, the wife and I put in a screened in pool with summer

years, section 7 row 73, between the 30-35 yard line, alumni side. The bill
this year including donation was well over $3000.

 

Last year at the opener which was at noon, temperature in the upper 90's I
kept thinking what in the hell am I doing here, when I could be cool,
cooking something great to eat, and watching this on a nice HD TV.

Over the years all the booster points I've earned are worth very little, all
the new big money bandwagon fans have overwhelmed the system to the point
that I couldn't get SEC championship tickets the last time we went to
Atlanta, I couldn't get National Title tickets and last year I couldn't get
away game tickets to F$U. 

 

Finally, last year we went to 3 home games, plus the Fla/Ga game I don't
know if I can continue justifying over $3000/year for 4-5 games, when I can
go to any game I want because all the new big money boosters buy extra
tickets they sell on ebay, stub hub, etc.

grown, we are talking about eventually trying to find somebody to share the
tickets with us and cutting back on the games we attend. I would hate to
ever give them up as they've been in the family for more than 30 years.

Charlie's story about the OB game and the various responses to it do
indicate the value of planning ahead when attending a game. I definitely
believe in going up early enough to avoid the traffic jams. We always park
in the parking garage down by the cancer center, which is free. You also get
out quickly after the game. If you're willing to walk a little, you can't
beat it.

It wasn't the bad season we had last year, it has more to do with getting a
little older and enjoying other things in life and asking myself is the
money worth it. 

 

Year before last, the wife and I put in a screened in pool with summer

This discussion about the Jacksonville Police Department is interesting.
When I was growing up, they were relatively well thought of.  It was the St.
Johns County guys who people thought of as the thugs.  

 

I remember that when I was growing up, we had received permission to get the
golf balls out of the water hazards at the Ponte Vedra course.  After work,
we went to the course and were diving for the golf balls.  With me that
night were the sons of the Duval County sheriff and the Duval County Circuit
Court judge.  Apparently, the residents there did not know we had permission
to get the golf balls and they called the police.  The St. John's County
police responded and promptly put us in cuffs with guns drawn.  Fortunately,
after finally deciding to check out our stories and after some rather strong
suggestions from the Sherriff and Judge, we were released.  I am not sure
who was the most frightened by the experience-us or the St. Johns County
officers.  Our parents explained to us later about the St. John's county
police in less than glowing terms.

Eh, when I lived in Jax, I used to equate the Duval County PD to a small,

Hmmm.  I should have kept reading.  St. Johns County cops are usually pretty
reasonable so I'm surprised they were even arrested.  Now... in Duval
County... they'd probably still be incarcerated.  Duval County cops are
generally a$$es.  

 

Larson might still be in trouble since he's on probation.  And, really...
why are 19 and 20 year old boys hanging around a bar at 2 AM?  No good can
come from that.

We are both beginning to sound like Baptist ministers, ya know.

 

Anyway, I made some false assumptions after reading the earlier report: our
boys weren't in the bar drinking.  They said they went in the bar looking
for a wallet they claim to have lost and got too close to a cashier counting
up the evenings cash and were asked to leave by the bouncers.

 

Nothing was reported missing from the car they were reportedly hanging
around in the parking lot.

 

My UF law school training tells me these guys may not get charged with
anything by the St. Johns County State Attorney.  It depends on whether any
damage was done to the car or other evidence of attempting to break into an
automobile.  Unless they confessed, other than the reports of some already
suspicious bar bouncers, what's the evidence of a crime being comitted?

RE: [gatortalk] University of Florida to defend FLW College Fishing National Championship title!

[Jerry Belloit]

That reminds me of one of my favorite fish stories.  I was exhausted with
working on my PhD project so I decided to take the morning off and go
fishing out at Lake Alice.  I stretched out in the boat, got comfortable,
and began to study the inside of my eyeballs for some much needed rest.
Just before I settled down, I decided to put my line in the water with no
bait so that people would think I was fishing.  I had just fallen into a
good restful sleep when my rod suddenly gets a strong pull.  I had caught a
fish.  Not only did I catch a fish with no bait, I caught it in a rather
startling way.  Somehow my line had made a loop with the hook and the fish
had swam into the loop.  Somehow the line tightened up and the loop caught
the fish by the tail.

 

I especially enjoyed that fish that evening.  I not sure if it was because
the fish was just good or if it was enhanced  by a little revenge for waking
me up.

I am glad to see you doing this Mary.  I gave up my chair-back seats in the
North End zone under the overhang several years ago.  I am getting closer to
retirement and I would love to be able to come back to my old seats but
obviously I blew it.  For several years I paid the booster fees and sold the

Still very proud of this team, but... phooey!

 

The OB game is free to UFAA members, open seating... can't remember what we
paid last year when my stepdaughter and her hubby were here.  $10 each
maybe?

Of course, Kentucky's got their share of fans who think basketball royalty

I reserve the right to hate them both. I hope Ky loses Sunday.

I can't believe the shot selection at the end of the game.  I also can't

Chandler goes down for a loose ball and there is no foul when the guy jumps
on top of him and keeps laying on him to keep him out of the play?  There is

Zebras love underdogs.  Gators continued to attempt wild 3s from the other
side of Lake Pontchartrain, over and over.  Inside it was a complete
mismatch.  Huge advantage for UF.  But we didn't take advantage of it for
some reason.

 

Billy kept calling those rainbow bombs.  

 

Macklin in foul trouble was also a problem.  When you've got 4 fouls, you
might as well have 5.  At least twice he had to stand back and give Butler
easy layups, because he was afraid of that 5th foul.

QQRE: [gatortalk] Bye Bye Bruce!

[Jerry Belloit]

I think I am somewhere between Oliver and Scott.  I kind of admired how he
took his punishment.  The original violation of having a recruit at a BBQ
does not seem all that serious.  Telling a lie is more serious, but it
seemed that a 1.5 million dollar fine and eight games suspension seems like
a pretty serious punishment.  

 

I am suspicious that this action is a preemption for a lack of
institutional control NCAA charge.  If you take away Kiffin, I don't think
this happens.

is a cheater and a liar.  He got caught and lied.  Caught again and

He caused much more hurt than he ever brought to this game or conference.
