Re: [gatortalk] [gatornews] [SUN]: Louisiana running back Montrell Johnson to reunite with coach Billy Napier at Florida

2022-01-14 Thread Rob Alexander
I think this may just be one of those times when you have to give your new 
coach a little latitude and assume he has a reason for what he does, even if 
it's not obvious to us. It sure doesn’t seem like this kid adds much to a very 
strong running back room, but it may be for depth as mentioned, it may be that 
he wants to sprinkle some guys in key position groups who know his system, or 
it may be that he thinks this is a special player who is going to perform well 
above his high school rating. Who knows? So many things must change with a new 
coach in place that I just figure he knows more about what he’s doing than I 
do, so I’ll just let him do his thing and judge him based on results. Like any 
of us, he’ll get some of it right and some of it wrong, but in the end he needs 
to put together a competent team that can win all of the games they’re supposed 
to win and some of the games they’re not. I’m not as sold on Napier as a lot of 
others are, but he’s here so I’m ready to give him his chance.

[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: LSU self-imposes bowl ban for current season amid NCAA probe

2020-12-10 Thread Rob Alexander
How does the AP reporter who wrote this story overlook the obvious point that 
LSU has self-imposed a ‘bowl ban’ in a year in which they are likely to be 
ineligible for a bowl due to their W-L record? A loss to Florida this week 
would leave them ineligible anyway. If they had done this at the beginning of 
the season, there may have been some credibility to it, but it means nothing to 
make this decision after you are already 3-5.

LSU self-imposes bowl ban for current season amid NCAA probe
The Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU is self-imposing a one-year ban on postseason play for 
this season as part an effort to cooperate with an NCAA probe into rules 
violations.

“LSU leadership made this decision after careful deliberation and review of the 
NCAA rules violations that have been discovered in the university’s cooperative 
investigation with the NCAA” and Independent Accountability Resolution Process, 
the athletic department said in a statement. “This decision reflects LSU’s 
commitment to compliance with NCAA regulations and maintenance of institutional 
control.”

2020-06-20 Thread Rob Alexander
I had no idea about the history of the phrase, but now that I know, I think we 
should leave it behind. I hate the idea that we’d be chanting about ‘gator 
bait’ while fellow gators are cringing from the unintended implications of the 
term.

It makes me very sad to see this on Christmas morning. I really liked Ed, 
especially when he was covering the Gators for the Sun, and I was pleased to 
see him moving up the ranks at ESPN. I will more keenly feel the joy of our 
Christmas festivities today as I reflect that all my loved ones are healthy and 
safe this morning. May yours be, too.  Merry Christmas to you all.

Re: [gatortalk] Fwd: [gatornews] [SUN]: Sunday Blog: Pressuring opposing QB part of winning formula

2018-10-07 Thread Rob Alexander
I must admit that, back when we were searching for a coach, I once said on here 
that I'd be happy with Kelly or Frost or half a dozen other coaches, but that 
Mullen wasn't one of them. (Neither was Taggart!) Well, I couldn’t have been 
more wrong. This isn’t a recent revelation—he started to win me over in his 
first press conference—but this season so far is beyond my expectations. It's 
not really about wins and losses, per se, but about how I watch the players get 
better and better each week, as if they are actually being coached. It's also 
fun to see some creative play-calling in games. Anyway, at this point, I 
wouldn’t trade Mullen for anyone.

2018-08-10 Thread Rob Alexander
Of yeah! Really... it wasn’t mine, he says, and they believe him. You know, 
because they looked him in the eye and gave him a good talking to. And the gun 
parts... also not his. He really needs to get his car re-keyed, the way things 
keep mysteriously appearing in it. I guess, though, since he has no history of 
drug use, it makes sense to believe him.

He’s definitely physically impressive, but he should probably save the talk

Seriously! I mean, if it helps recruiting to put a basketball player logo on 
your football uniforms, then go for it, but it’s hardly something for fans to 
get excited about. Let’s see... what would excite me? Oh yeah, an offense. 
Seeing an exciting Gator offense is the moment I’m waiting for. 😜

I kind of enjoyed reading it for the catharsis. As another who lived through 
the nightmare of the Dickey years, I remember that we used to comment how we 
had more talented athletes than any of our rivals, but the man just couldn't 
coach to win a game if his life depended on it. In a way, I am glad to know 
that it wasn't just sour grapes. We really did, objectively, have a record 
number of NFL caliber players, and we still couldn't beat those ƒ⊃©⋌|#& dogs. 
Clearly, we were right that Dickey was the problem.

[gatortalk] AP source: Florida's Callaway fails drug test at NFL combine

2018-04-25 Thread Rob Alexander
Seriously! There comes a point when you just have to conclude he’s too damaged 
to be a millionaire. It’s so sad to be one of the few with that kind of talent, 
but to be unable to get your life together even for a few critical months 
before the draft. 


http://www.apnewsarchive.com/2018/AP-source-Former-Florida-receiver-Antonio-Callaway-fails-drug-test-at-NFL-combine/id-42cf7a0467944489b26831cd120bee96

AP source: Florida's Callaway fails drug test at NFL combine
GAINESVILLE, Fla.
(AP) — Former Florida receiver Antonio Callaway failed a drug test at the NFL 
combine, a mistake that could damage his draft status.

A person with knowledge of the situation says NFL teams were made aware of the 
result Tuesday. The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of 
anonymity because the league does not release that information publicly.

NFL Network first reported Callaway's failed test.

It was the latest misstep for a talented but troubled receiver who was once 
considered a lock to be a first-round draft pick. Now, some teams surely will 
take the 21-year-old Callaway off their draft board. Failing a drug test at the 
combine, a place prospects know they're going to be tested, is widely 
considered one of the more head-scratching results of the pre-draft process.

For Callaway, it's another huge red flag.

Callaway was suspended all of last season as part of an investigation into 
felony credit card fraud. He also was cited for marijuana possession in May 
2017, stopped by police while riding in a car with a career criminal, and was 
part of a Title IX investigation in 2016 that centered on an alleged sexual 
battery. He testified during that case he was high on marijuana during the 
incident and was later found not responsible for the alleged misconduct.

At Florida's pro day last month, Callaway said every NFL team he spoke to at 
the scouting combine in Indianapolis and since wanted to know about the same 
thing: His past.

"They already know I'm a good athlete. Just know I'm not a bad person," said 
Callaway, who appeared out of shape and was working with his second agent in 
less than six months. "Somebody's just got to believe in me."

Callaway also said the recent birth of his first child, a daughter, changed him.

Callaway caught 89 passes for 1,399 yards and 11 touchdowns in two seasons at 
Florida. He hasn't played since the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2, 2017.

The Miami native was one of nine Florida players suspended during the 2017 
season while being investigated for fraud.

According to police, Callaway used a stolen credit card to add $1,970 to his 
campus bookstore account and then used the money to purchase a high-end 
computer and fancy headphones. He eventually entered a pretrial intervention 
program that could result in the dismissal of the felony charges.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] How to define what happened during the 2018 Florida spring game

2018-04-16 Thread Rob Alexander
That's exactly what I was thinking. These kids worked hard this Spring, but of 
course they have a long way to go with completely new schemes on offense and 
defense. It's ridiculous to think they would be ready to look to genuinely 
impressive this soon. Equally important to the football learning they did this 
Spring is that, after being emotionally battered and bruised last year, they 
really needed to see football as fun again. Good for Mullen for setting high 
standards, teaching effectively, returning enthusiasm into the program, and 
still letting them have a fun day at the end. The team looked like the weight 
of the world had been removed from their shoulders, and that is exactly what I 
would want heading into the long summer workouts where individuals need to be 
self-motivated. I'm as anxious as anyone to finally see some offense again, but 
realistically... let's see where we are about mid-way through next season and 
then decide whether we seem to be on a good trajectory.

Yeah, Jefferson said something in his quote that made me think they are waiting 
to see what happens with Patterson. Maybe the point is that, if Patterson is 
successful, they will make the same argument, but if he isn't, then they will 
take a different approach.

I don’t know much about Grantham. What is it you don’t like about him?

I don’t either, but it has more of a ring of truth than the frantic stuff we 
got from bloggers. Still, I expect it has been nicely sterilized to make it 
sound like everything was smooth and calm the whole way through. What I don’t 
doubt is that Mullen was SS's first choice all along.

I know we talk about a coaching carousel every year, but this year is like some 
bizarre demon-carousel from a Stephen King novel. I would not want to be a 
college still looking in this market right now. No coaching search in the 
history of the sport has ever been more screwed up than Tennessee's, and now 
FSU can’t keep their national championship coach content enough to stay. How 
does an AD let that happen? I am actually finding myself reading about other 
school's searches, which I've never done before. It's like this massive train 
wreck that you can't stop watching. Not that I'm complaining... this is all 
good for us. All things considered we've done a great job of keeping our 
recruiting class together, and as you say, this opens some incredible 
opportunities for us to snag some premier talent. If only Miami and UGA weren’t 
having such good seasons...

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Top 100 WR Jacob Copeland de-commits from Gators 2018 class

2017-11-30 Thread Rob Alexander
I am coming around on Mullen. I liked his demeanor and enthusiasm in the press 
conference, (something I don't remember being a strength of his before), I like 
that he knows what he's getting into and that he really wants to be here, and I 
like that he has hit the ground running. Mullen wasn't my first choice, but 
despite my offer to share years of wisdom and deep insights into the search 
process, SS didn’t ask my opinion before making the hire. However, I'm a 
natural optimist who really wants to be excited about Gator football, so I 
choose to see the potential here.

I do agree that coaches make too much and student athletes make too little — 
it’s also crazy that we will be paying four head coaches next year — but that's 
a separate question to me than who our new coach is. I am getting behind Mullen 
and will stay there until he gives me reason to do otherwise.

P.S. Scooter Magruder perfectly captured my reactions during this coaching 
search. If you haven’t clicked through to his video, you should.

Re: [gatortalk] Welcome aboard Coach Mullen?

2017-11-26 Thread Rob Alexander
Well, I can't say I'm particularly excited about the choice, but it's done. I 
do think he'll be a better coach than Muschamp or McElwain—at least I've heard 
of him—but I worry that we'll win 8-10 games every season, yet never win the 
conference and never make the playoff. That may be just good enough to never 
get fired. Still, I’m a Gator and I'll support our coach and team. I hope he is 
wildly successful here.

Re: [gatortalk] CK

2017-11-25 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, we will never know whether anyone could have landed CK, but it was his 
job to do that and he failed to accomplish it. He needs to succeed with Frost 
or we will start to be seen like Tennessee... unable to attract our top 
candidates. He was unable to convince CK that we are a more attractive option 
than UCLA. He absolutely must convince Frost that we are more attractive than 
Nebraska... not because there aren’t other excellent coaches out there, but 
because it hurts our prestige to be turned down by all our top prospects. 
Strickland would like to pretend that the process is private, but it appears 
that everyone knows who we are trying for as we approach each candidate.

Re: [gatortalk] Yyyyup...

2017-11-24 Thread Rob Alexander
Are these the same sources who said it was a done deal a week ago? We may have 
actually moved on, but I don’t think this tweet really gives us information one 
way or another.  We would be crazy not to be working on our strategy for who to 
pursue next if he does choose UCLA. This could just indicate that we are 
working on our backup plan, though it could also indicate that CK has already 
given us an answer. We just don’t know, but we do know that our anonymous 
sources’ track record has not been all that good to this point. If CK announces 
on Sunday that he’s going to UCLA, then I’ll consider us to have moved on.

I will say this... I would be genuinely excited by Kelly or Frost, with Frost 
being my first choice. I would be content with a handful of others, but that 
handful does not include Mullen. I would be pretty disappointed if we jumped 
straight from CK to DM.

Re: [gatortalk] Fwd: [gatornews] Programs may be salivating over Chip Kelly, but there are obstacles to his return - CBSSports.com

2017-11-14 Thread Rob Alexander
What you and Steve said ring true. We wouldn’t invest in the negotiations 
without getting the league approval first. My guess is that we would never know 
if the SEC didn’t approve it (beyond rumors) because we wouldn’t announce it; 
we would just hire someone else. 

I’m not speaking to whether we actually are going for Kelly... that’s still 
just rumor... but if we do, then we will have already cleared it with the SEC 
beforehand. The more I have read about the Oregon situation, the less it 
bothers me about him personally. I will assume they are doing their due 
diligence and if they hire him, that they are satisfied he will run a clean 
program. 

I’d be happy with the hire. I think Frost carries a higher upside for a 
lifetime legacy coach, though greater risk of failure, but Kelly and Frost are 
both the kind of exciting hire we need right now... especially if we want to 
save this recruiting class.

Re: [gatortalk] Article by Marty Cohen

2017-10-08 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, that about sums it up. It especially resonates with me where he talks 
about the eye test... win or lose, did the Gators play a good game today? Those 
where I would say yes have been pretty rare since Tebow left. That's been my 
problem this whole time. People say we should just be happy with a win, but I 
just can’t get excited about a bumbling offense that has a few big plays now 
and then, gets bailed out by a couple of defensive TDs, and lucks its way into 
a win. 

Yesterday, if we hadn’t missed the extra point, and had somehow pulled it out 
in OT, I still wouldn’t have been happy about the game, even though I would 
have been happy about the outcome. What I really want is for my team to look 
competent. Sometimes they'll win and sometimes they'll lose, but when we lose, 
I want us to lose because two good teams played and the other team was better, 
not because two mediocre teams played and the other team was a tad less 
pathetic (and vice versa when we win). I really am acutely aware of the impact 
of all the lost players, and I do try to keep in mind that most teams would 
struggle in that situation, but we struggle on offense every year and it's hard 
to accept that the lost players are the only issue.

[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Timeline: How Gators’ credit card fraud case unfolded

2017-09-26 Thread Rob Alexander
Wow, somehow I thought this was going to be something a bit more subtle and a 
bit less nefarious. These guys were just flat-out stealing from people and they 
knew it. As Helen asks, how could they think no one would ever notice this? 
Whatever their backgrounds, they understood what they were doing and they knew 
it was illegal. Regardless of the legal outcome, though assuming they actually 
did these things, I really don’t think any of them should play for Florida ever 
again (yeah, even though they might transfer and end up winning a Heisman 
somewhere else)! I have been heavily critical of FSU in the past, and their 
tendency to excuse criminals who were also good players, and I feel like it 
would be hypocritical of me to think this was okay, but (e.g.) stealing crab 
legs from Publix isn’t.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] A Warning, a Crusade, and a Public Reckoning at the U. of Florida

2017-07-23 Thread Rob Alexander
We don't know what his fee arrangement is with any client. Perhaps a player 
seeing his multimillion dollar NFL career tank agrees to a deferred fee 
arrangement with the attorney who is going to save him. Since he couldn't take 
a gift that isn't offered to all students without it being an NCAA violation 
(i.e. pro bono representation), I imagine that all athletes he represents 'owe' 
him his fee and he just doesn't pursue its collection for awhile. I am just 
speculating, of course, but I don't see that free legal services are any 
different than free shoes for athletes, so there must be some fee generated. 

As to the size of the fee, if UF agreed that they owed a fee, but thought the 
amount was inflated, they could always let a judge determine the amount. I 
imagine, though, that UF would go to the mat over owing anyone's fee. They are 
required by federal law to pursue these cases, and no one is required to hire 
an attorney to move through the process. If they accepted owing the students' 
fees in one case, that's a genie they could never put back in the bottle.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Antonio Callaway cited for marijuana possession

2017-05-18 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, I agree too. It's ridiculous that it's not legal, but that's not the 
point. Right now it actually is illegal whether it should be or not. Here is a 
young man with the gift of elite athletic skills who can make many, many 
millions in his career and all he has to do is work hard on his craft and not 
be stupid in his personal life. He already has an alleged sexual assault in his 
background. Add a couple of drug charges and the general impression of a player 
who lacks discipline will drop him in the draft and cost him a lot of money. I 
just think that's a high price to pay for a toke. On the positive side, we have 
some great young receivers. If Calloway would rather get high than play, I'm 
sure there are several who would be happy to take his reps.

 Antonio Callaway cited for marijuana possession
 Thomas Goldkamp13 minutes ago
 Florida wide receiver Antonio Callaway has been cited for marijuana 
 possession stemming from a traffic stop early Saturday morning.
 
 GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida star receiver Antonio Callaway is in hot 
 water yet again during the offseason.
 
 Early Saturday morning he was cited for misdemeanor marijuana possession 
 when Gainesville Police Department officers stopped a black Mercedes SUV. 
 Callaway was a passenger in the rear driver's side seat, and the officer 
 smelled marijuana when he approached the vehicle.
 
 After asking Callaway to exit the vehicle, the officer found a bag of 
 marijuana weight about seven grams in the front pocket of Callaway's pants.

 Another passenger, 40-year-old Kendrick Williams, was also found with 
 marijuana in the car. Both he and Callaway admitted to ownership of the 
 marijuana, according to the police report.
 
 Callaway had previously admitted to smoking marijuana in an alleged sexual 
 assault case. He was cleared in that case by a Title IX investigation but 
 had told investigators that he was "so stoned (he) had no interest in 
 having sex with anyone."
 
 A junior-to-be, Callaway recorded 54 catches for 721 yards and three 
 touchdowns a year ago. He is considered Florida's top player on offense.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Gators need for quarterback more apparent than ever

2016-12-04 Thread Rob Alexander
One of the articles that came through here included an interview with the SEC 
commissioner confirming that this is a rule. It's not that they have to earn 
their graduate degree, it's that they must complete the semester's courses. If 
they don't, there is nothing they can do to the student (since they were 
one-season players who already have an undergraduate degree from elsewhere), so 
they restrict the school from accepting more graduate transfers for a period of 
time. It's the first I've heard of it, but if the commissioner says it's true, 
then I assume it is.

I completely agree about the QB of the future. I'm tired of the QB carousel. I 
am optimistic about the future. As others have said, receivers are getting wide 
open. Our line is improving, and will continue to. We really just need a great 
young QB.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. What are the chances that the fans or our 
players even knew about the mascot? But even if they did, how self-obsessed is 
it to think that our fans are making fun of your tiger, when we are playing 
another team that are also tigers. BTW, there are WAY too many tigers in the 
SEC! If we ever expand again, we should make it a rule that we accept no new 
teams with tigers as a mascot.

Re: [gatortalk] Fl at LSU

2016-10-13 Thread Rob Alexander
I think the quote from Foley says it all. LSU wasn't interested in a good faith 
negotiation. LSU has been trying to dump us as their permanent East rival for 
years. The irony is idiots in the press saying we are trying to duck them, when 
it is they who are trying to duck us. 

Foley...:
"We made this decision to play the game in Baton Rouge," said Foley. "The 
conference office asked us to find a solution in working with LSU, yet LSU was 
never a true partner in our discussions.  The Southeastern Conference offered 
some other solutions and the LSU administration made it clear that they were 
unwilling to consider other reasonable options."

Re: [gatortalk] Brandon Powell

2016-09-26 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, I agree. If there is no penalty for taking a dive, then soon players will 
be doing it all the time. (Soccer, anyone?) If tried unsuccessfully during the 
game, it should be unsportsmanlike conduct. If it works and a player is 
ejected, but is seen later clearly to be a performance, the player taking the 
dive should be suspended for the next game. Either that or make it reviewable 
during the game by replay officials and still eject the perpetrator. I don't 
know... they can work it out. It's not like it changed this game, but it's a 
very bad incentive for players to have nothing to lose by trying, but 
everything to gain.

Re: [gatortalk] Treon

2016-07-25 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, I think this is the new reality in the position. If a player is 
determined to remain a QB, but it's clear he won't get a shot at his current 
school, then he moves on to find a better position. I don't blame them, nor do 
I think it's any negative reflection on our current coaching staff. I think it 
was a good move for Brissett, Murphy and Driskel, and it will probably be a 
good move for Grier. I'm not sure how Staver and Morningwheg fared, but I think 
Treon would be better off to change positions. I just don't see him as being 
effective even in another system. I will also be surprised if none of the 
current four QBs transfers in the future. I'm thinking one of the current 
freshman will transfer around the end of the 2017-18 season.

Re: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: Notebook: McElwain talks WR arrests, quarterback position battle

2016-07-20 Thread Rob Alexander
And you're probably never going to until you just observe the answers for 
yourself by seeing who plays and who doesn't. I'm pretty sure last year, he 
never actually came out and said that Grier was his starter. He just said over 
and over that they're both competing for the job, and the press finally figured 
it out when they saw who was actually starting and playing most of the games. 
It will be interesting to see whether he actually names a starter before the 
first game this year, or if we will just see who actually walks onto the field 
again. I have to hand it to Mac. He has such a friendly demeanor that the press 
seems quite content for him to say pretty much nothing over and over. They're 
probably just happy to have a coach to interview who seems to actually enjoy it.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Daily Football Fix: Which UF player would you bring back?

2016-07-05 Thread Rob Alexander
Can I cheat and choose the Pouncey brothers as a single pick? Seriously, 
though, it's our OL that needs the most help in my view. Get that straightened 
out and everything else will fall into place. We have a great defense and 
plenty of talent at all the key skill positions on offense. Just give them an 
extra second or two each play and they'll do fine. I know our QBs are unproven, 
but I believe we have some very good talent there. I am hopeful that all that 
experience last year for our very young OL will result in a competent OL this 
year, and give the rest of the offense the protection they need to move the 
ball.

I always like being ranked lower in these things before the season. It makes it 
all the sweeter when someone steps up and takes everyone by surprise. If we had 
a proven back, then it might ruffle my feathers, but no one should be ranked 
highly until they've earned it on the field.

Re: [gatortalk] NFL Draft

I was pleased for them, that Muschamp didn't manage to completely destroy their 
NFL aspirations. Two QBs who weren't 'good enough' for Florida are good enough 
for the NFL. That says a lot about our former coaching staff. I expect to see 
future UF QBs drafted directly out of UF. I wish all the luck in the world to 
Jeff and Jacoby.

Re: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: NFL draft day 3: Morrison to Colts, Robinson to Chiefs, Taylor to 49ers, McCalister to Eagles

2016-05-02 Thread Rob Alexander
Kelvin was just a good, solid back in a very difficult situation (i.e. very 
inexperienced OL), but he did rush for 1,000 yards as the feature back. He may 
have thought he wasn't likely to do any better this year with two excellent 
backs behind him, getting more reps in their soph year, even with a better 
line. No one ever projected him going in early rounds, and while his combine 
performance surprised some of us, he must have known himself how he would 
perform. I would imagine the result was worse than he hoped, but better than he 
feared. If he really is good enough to be an NFL back, he'll have the chance to 
prove it.

Re: [gatortalk] McElwain Press Conference

2016-03-08 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, apparently this has been going on already, and we're just hearing about 
it because of Spring practice. I sure would hate to lose Calloway if he doesn't 
get things straightened out. Here is a clip from the Orlando Sentinel. Two 
things strike me about it. The first is that, when he says, 'they are doing 
schoolwork,' it makes me think that they might have grade issues. That would be 
consistent with them being out since January. The second is that he's not going 
to talk about it.  😜

---
GAINESVILLE – Florida Gators star receiver Antonio Callaway and quarterback 
Treon Harris will miss spring football for an undisclosed reason, UF coach Jim 
McElwain said during a news conference Wednesday. McElwain said both players 
had not been with the team since January and declined to elaborate on the 
reason for their absence or a timeline for their potential return. The coach 
said Callaway and Harris have been "doing schoolwork" and "they won't be with 
us during the spring. That'll be the last we'll talk about on that front." When 
pressed whether the players were suspended, McElwain reiterated, "They haven't 
been here and that'll be the last we'll talk about it." McElwain was asked if 
Harris was going to change from quarterback to another position as reported 
during the offseason, the coach responded, "Possibly, we'll see [about] that. 
We'll talk about it when it happens." When he was asked if there was any chance 
they could return for spring, McElwain said, "I don't know ... We're not going 
to talk about it."

Re: [gatortalk] say it ain't so

2016-02-12 Thread Rob Alexander
Well, it's really political posturing, not a specific proposal. The governor is 
trying to convince the legislature to raise taxes. He threatened that people 
might die as health care services are cut, but--I imagine--knowing that won't 
sway anyone in power, he also said it could result in LSU shutting down and 
losing football. I'm sure the football part got their attention!

[gatortalk] Gators QB Treon Harris working out at wide receiver

2016-02-06 Thread Rob Alexander
Gators QB Treon Harris working out at wide receiver
Email
comment
4:01 PM ET
Edward Aschoff
ESPN Staff Writer 
Florida quarterback Treon Harris is using the offseason to work on his 
route-running skills.

A source told ESPN.com on Friday that the embattled quarterback is currently 
spending time at wide receiver during workouts, but the move hasn't been 
finalized. The sophomore went 4-4 as the Gators' starting quarterback after 
taking over for Will Grier in mid-October. Grier went 5-0 as the starter, with 
a dominant 38-10 win over Ole Miss in which he threw four first-half 
touchdowns, but he was suspended for a year by the NCAA after testing positive 
for a banned substance.

Grier decided to transfer from Florida in December.

While Harris, who is 8-6 all-time as Florida's starter, helped lead the Gators 
to their first trip to the SEC championship game since 2009, he struggled 
mightily with his consistency when throwing the ball late in the season. Harris 
went 3-3 during the last six games of the season, completing just 47.8 percent 
of his passes with four touchdowns to six interceptions. Harris finished the 
year ranked 11th in the SEC with a QBR of 54.0.

The Gators should have better quarterback depth in 2016, starting with Oregon 
State transfer Luke Del Rio being eligible to play after sitting out the 2015 
season due to NCAA transfer rules. Florida also signed the nation's No. 5 
pocket-passer prospect in ESPN 300 member Feleipe Franks and little-known 
three-star Kyle Trask. Both enrolled on campus early.

Jim McElwain and his staff added even more depth with former Purdue quarterback 
Austin Appleby, who transferred to Florida as a graduate student. Appleby 
played in five games last season, completing 57.5 percent of his passes for 
1,260 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions. He's thrown 19 
touchdowns and 19 interceptions in three seasons.

Re: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: What a disaster (only kidding)

2016-01-25 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, I never understand the tendency of fans to value recruiting web site 
ratings over those of their coaches. How many of the recruiting 'experts' who 
give these ratings have watched each recruit play an entire game in person? How 
many of them have coached these recruits in clinics? How much time have they 
spent, not just looking at a player's best moments in a highlight reel, but his 
worst moments and how he responds to adversity? How many take the time to 
consider the specific needs of each team... not just that we need a player in a 
particular position, but that we need one with certain characteristics (big, 
bruising RB vs elusive speedster)? I figure our recruiting classes should be 
ranked highly because we should be getting lots of great players in general, 
but it doesn't really matter where in the rankings we fall as long as we're in 
the game. You can't convince me that the recruiting analysts can say that the 
number 1 ranked class actually meets that college's specific needs better than 
the number 5 ranked class does for its school. They simply can't look at it in 
that kind of detail, but our coaches do. I have faith in this coaching staff to 
have meticulously mapped out our needs and to have pursued those players they 
think will best meet them. We'll win some and we'll lose some, but they know 
what they are looking for. If they are good developmental coaches, as we have 
some reason to believe these are, then they will get the most out of each 
player we do get and we will be fine. I am very optimistic about the future. 
Recruit us and/or develop us a good QB and a solid OL, and we'll be in the 
thick of it every year.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: 2 UF players on All-SEC Freshmen team, but Antonio Callaway left out

2015-12-11 Thread Rob Alexander
I think we all know that Callaway is every bit as good as the other two, but we 
also know that individual awards are heavily influenced by the team around 
them. He'll really break out when he has a QB who can pass and then he'll get 
the recognition he deserves.

Re: [gatortalk] Fwd: [gatornews] [SUN]: UF notebook: Seniors side with Demarcus Robinson; Grier doing class work

2015-12-03 Thread Rob Alexander
I'm not sure he has really mastered throwing away the ball. He still holds it 
too long when he's in trouble and gives up sacks when he could throw it away. 
That said, I have a lot of respect for him. He really doesn't have the tools 
for Coach Mac's system, but he doesn't get (too) rattled and he doesn't give 
up. If I were him I think I would be a total mental case by now. I feel about 
him like I used to feel about Driskel. He's not getting the job done, and I 
think we need a new QB, but I also feel bad about that because I think he's 
giving everything he has in a very difficult situation.

Mac said Guy looked really good in preseason, then we never heard a word about 
him again. At 6'5", he might at least be able to throw over the other team's 
linemen instead of into their hands. :-)

Re: [gatortalk] We got ourselves a QB!

2015-11-30 Thread Rob Alexander
Clarabelle is looking pretty good right now. I wonder if she's available for 
the SECCG!  :-)  Seriously, thanks for the perspective. It doesn't sound so 
flaky when you explain it that way. Perhaps Del Rio will be our salvation next 
year. We sure need another option than Treon. I really appreciate that he's 
doing his best, but as you say, he's just not an SEC QB.

I can't imagine why he'd want to come here. We're so deep at QB that he 
probably won't get a shot to start for 2-3 years. 

[Oh wait, I think I just dropped back into the fantasy world I retreated into

Seriously, that's the best news I've heard all weekend. Have we ever started a

I get the dissonance between their preseason expectations and reality, but I 
think this was a short-sighted decision. With so many other schools looking, 
the competition for coaches is going to be fierce. I see them as having a 50-50 
chance of ending up like Tennessee after they fired Fulmer. Richt is a good 
enough coach that it will be easier to take a step down than a step up.

Re: [gatortalk] Fwd: [gatornews] [SUN]: Difference is Gators making plays, opponents failing to do so

2015-11-12 Thread Rob Alexander
I am curious whether there would be a substantial difference if we broke down 
the stats by Grier's starts versus Harris' starts. My subjective recollection 
is that our offense was on an upward trajectory under Grier, but has been 
getting worse since the suspension. I know they said the two were 
neck-and-neck, but I see a huge difference between them. But even if that's so, 
well, Grier's gone for now and that's life.

Here's how I am looking at it. We have an excellent chance of winning two more 
games, a solid shot at FSU and we'll probably be big underdogs in the SECCG. We 
can win all of those, and I hope we do,  but even if we don't, this season is 
so far beyond my wildest expectations that I can head into the winter a happy 
Gator. Then I stop and think about 1) how experienced this young line will be 
next year, 2) getting Grier back, maybe, or a great freshman QB, 3) a really 
strong recruiting year, and 4) another year of understanding by the offense of 
Mac's system, and I am really feeling like the next several years will be a 
particularly good time to be a Gator.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: UF notebook: C’yontai Lewis and Jeremi Powell may return

2015-10-15 Thread Rob Alexander
I have no actual knowledge of it, but there is something odd about how vague 
they are being about him. Remember that he, too, started missing field goals 
again just before his injury. It could be that his injury was why he started 
missing again (trying to push through it and that affected his accuracy), or it 
could be that his injury is related to the pressure of the position and his 
ability to handle heading into another slump. I sure hope whatever it is works 
out for him, but if he can't come back and be rock solid, I would sure like to 
see coach recruit a great high school kicker for next year. We've had some 
great ones in the past and it's a good feeling as a fan to know you're going to 
make most of your field goal attempts.

That was a bold call on the Ole Miss game, Oliver, and I apologize for 
chuckling when I read it. I'm sticking with you this week. Fournette rushes for 
under 50 yards, Treon plays the game of his life, and the Gators win by 20. Go 
Gators!!!

Re: [gatortalk] Grier

2015-10-13 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, that's where we are alright. I think Woody's right about the appeal, so 
from a fan's perspective it's just as if Grier were out for the season with an 
injury. The team needs to move on and so do the fans. Let's hope Will grows up, 
learns from this very hard lesson, and can still be part of the team next year 
(though I don't see him likely to regain the starting role half way through 
next season).

Harris is very talented QB and is a real gamer. This is a particularly bad week 
to have to change quarterbacks, but I figure if our defense can contain 
Fournette, then we can win this game. If not, then it wasn't going to matter 
which QB played. This one game aside, I don't see why we can't go ahead and 
have a successful season... at least, as long as Harris behaves. Hopefully, he 
will have learned his lesson and will lay off the weed for the rest of the 
season, or we'll be saying 'the only thing left is to root for Josh.'

[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Spurrier retiring effective immediately

2015-10-12 Thread Rob Alexander
What a sucky day! 

I'm still in a bit of shock on the Grier news... not knowing whether to feel 
sorry for a kid who inadvertently took something technically prohibited, or 
ticked off at a kid who thought he could pull off a performance enhancing 
regimen without getting caught. 

The SOS news is just sad. He deserves to retire under better circumstances.

If true, he could potentially lose his buyout. And it could be just the excuse 
they would be looking for if they wanted to make a change, but didn't want to 
seem like they hadn't given him a real chance.

Re: [gatortalk] Did I dream what happened last night?

2015-10-04 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, seriously, this is what Muschamp has done, even to the fans. He crushed 
out spirits. I found myself not really believing what I was seeing, just 
waiting for us to screw up because we all know that the Gators suck on offense. 
It's where talented prep QBs go for their dreams to die. Then I found myself 
remembering ages past, that there is no reason we can't be an elite team, that 
we used to have national championship teams... that we have had three 
Heisman-winning QBs. Not only can we have a great offense, but we're entitled 
to it because we're the Gators! Are we back? Well, we're young and that usually 
means inconsistency, but if this is even just a taste of the future, then I am 
one happy Gator. Football can be fun again!

I'll take a stab at your questions.

1. For heaven's sake, Mac. I know you're trying to motivate your quarterbacks, 
but just name Will the starter already. He has earned it.

2. I don't know Treon personally, so I am going out on a limb here, but if he 
didn't learn from his earlier brushes with the law, then I don't think he will 
learn from his recent suspension and the fallout from that. I just hope that 
Treon will place his loss of the starting role where it belongs... squarely on 
his own shoulders. He may have won it without the suspension, or he may have 
lost it, but he took himself out of the competition and gave Grier the chance 
to make it his own. 

3. I really can't believe that another player made that same gesture after all 
the attention that got last time. I imagine that will not go unpunished. On the 
penalty, if the rule is that the defender must be one yard out at the time of 
the catch, then our player did seem to be closer than that. What bothers me is 
that I have seen others do exactly that to our players, also within a yard, 
without ever seeing that penalty called before. I would like to see some 
consistency in the application of that rule. And I really do think it should be 
enforced. That's really dangerous for the kid receiving the kick. 

4. This one worries me. The team came out very flat against UT, then played 
very well against Ole Miss. It's too early to tell if they can play 
consistently well. I do like the messages I'm hearing from Coach Mac, though. 
He is certainly aware of the need to keep them feeling like underdogs.

5. We're really strong against the pass, but have yet to prove ourselves 
against the run. Here's hoping we just improve every week.

6. I always enjoy Zach's reports in recruits after big games like this. This 
has to be huge for recruiting; who cannot think that the Gators are on the way 
back after this game? Even if we lose some big ones later, that just sends the 
message that we're on our way back, but we need 'you' to help us get the rest 
of the way. 

7. Poor Charlie. We know he's a great coach, but he is just snake-bit in Texas. 
I hope they will give him another year to try to turn this thing around.

Yeah, but we won't press too hard on why a Gator would marry a Vol...  :-)  
Seriously, I'm with you on never feeling sorry for the Vols, Wanda. I got my 
doctorate from UT and my Vol friends who knew I was a Gator were both 
insufferably arrogant when they won and insufferably poor sports when we won. 
I'd have gladly taken my medicine when we lost if they had been willing to do 
the same.

The ambulance has left and the defibrillator worked. Now I can celebrate! The 
way we played all day, I did not see that coming. It's almost enough to make

Re: [gatortalk] Harris, Tabor suspended

2015-09-24 Thread Rob Alexander
Yeah, that was my first thought, too. Coach Mac said he was waiting for one of 
them to step forward and take the position. Neither of them has done that, but 
now Harris has stepped back and given it away. Whatever one thinks about 
whether pot should be legal, it is currently not legal and it was a selfish 
decision on his part to deprive the team of his talents so he could get high. 
Given Harris' previous legal issues, and that he doesn't seem willing to adjust 
his behavior, you also have to wonder whether it would be a good investment to 
make him the starting QB when he could turn out suspended or arrested at any 
time. Even if coach doesn't look at it that way, Harris won't get many reps 
this week and Grier will have another entire game's worth of experience. Unless 
Grier plays very poorly on Saturday, I think he will be our starter for the 
season.

but that specific phrase about winning by one point is like nails on a 
blackboard to me. It just shows that it will take our new coach a few years to 
really turn around the thinking instilled by his predecessor.

[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Young Gators gaining experience

2015-09-21 Thread Rob Alexander
It made me cringe to hear one of our offensive players repeating that old line 
of Muschamp's that, in my mind, exemplifies everything that was wrong with the 
offense during his time as head coach. It's really not good enough to get just 
one more point when you are playing one of the weaker teams in the conference. 
It's not just 'nice' to get more drives converted, it is essential, or the next 
five games won't be pretty. The offense is about where, I think, most of us 
expected them to be, but I sure don't want the players to be complacent with 
that level of play. I would feel much better if I heard something like... It 
was nice to get the win, but we must work hard to improve so we can score when 
we need more points to win a game.

Re: [gatortalk] yow!

And one of them kept saying we played "Towson State" the previous week. I think 
if you get paid to do this, then it's your job and you need to do your homework 
and learn about each team.

Re: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] GatorNews from the Miami Herald and Palm Beach Post, courtesy of JunoGator

2015-09-11 Thread Rob Alexander
He as much as said that when he said his goal was to score just one more point 
than the other team. It's baffling. Being an optimist, I always though he would 
see the obvious and finally realize that both the offense and the defense 
should strive for greatness, but he never did. However successful we are this 
year, it will be refreshing to have the team just trying to score points.
