Re: [gatortalk] I love Sullivan's Gator Chop
Hey Jerry, I live in a mixed world too, and haven't had great success converting between PowerPoint and Keynote. It takes practically as much time to fix it up after conversion as it did to make it in the first place. The two PowerPoint versions transfer okay between Mac and PC but that doesn't help you. QuickTime is easy on a PC. In your case, the Mac may well be your solution and it'll probably run your Windows stuff fine using bootcamp. Bootcamp is free and you can buy a Windows license for next to nothing from your university. The reason I mentioned our problems is I know you're an academic too, and it's possible you could have needed to run one of those problem applications. If you use any Windows-based technical modeling software (things like SAS, SPSS, Berkley-Madonna, etc.) you should check it out before committing. It doesn't sound like that would be an issue, though, based on what you've said. On the speed thing, that's just a meaningless thing for someone to have said. Lots of high-end PCs are faster than MacBooks and lots of low-end PCs are slower. It's just about the hardware. There's nothing inherent in Apple's BIOS that would make it faster or slower. Anyway, based on everything you've said here, it sounds like the MacBook with Bootcamp might be a good solution for you.

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.

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...

I think his problems stemmed from a variety of sources: - bad o-line play - from the bad snaps to generally scrambling for his life he never got confidence sitting in the pocket. - poor playcalling - knowing that we didn't have a real threat at QB to run and knowing we had a mish-mash Oline due to injuries, we still ran the same offense as we did last year. -bad team chemistry between upperclassmen and freshmen - to offset the poor playcalling, the coaches then let a couple of freshmen QBs take snaps and they have success running the spread. I think this increased tension on the team - fan criticism - I realize he probably doesn't obsess as much as we do, but he had to hear it. That had to be hard since this is his dream. I think all of this led to a kid that by the end of the year was scared to make a mistake, and that is when you usually make them. He would check down to his safe pass almost immediately, I think by the end of the year, the only way Johnny would thrown the ball deep is if the WR was uncovered at the line. The big question is, will he be able to regain his confidence and gain the trust of his underclassmen teammates.

Re: [gatortalk] Well... on one hand...
I Tivo all the Gator games, and usually start watching about an hour in. That let's me skip all the commercials and still finish the game about the time it ends live. If it's an afternoon game, and a nice day, I'll often watch it that night. Why miss a great day? That's why I have a TiVo. I never want to know the outcome ahead of time, though. That would ruin it for me. I know it's a little obsessive, but I also watch every play of every game no matter how poorly we play. I expect the players to give full effort for 60 minutes, so I feel like I owe them my support for 60 minutes. I know it doesn't really make a difference, but I enjoy every play of the big wins so it just feels like I should fully experience the losses too. Yin-yang and all that. It sure wasn't easy at times this year! That is only with Gator games, though. If I'm watching two other teams play, and if it's not a particularly good game, I often skip ahead with the Tivo and just watch the interesting bits.

You can't shine if your coach prefers a different style of player and leaves you on the bench. I think Gillislee was great as a freshman. His yards per carry were excellent, and he tore it up whenever he was in the game in mop up duty, but he was lost in the rotation behind Meyer's ultra speedsters. Again this year, he was a solid producer whenever he played, but he had few opportunities and was behind an underperforming OL. I'm not saying he's the next Emmit Smith, but I think he can be as good as the feature backs currently playing for several other SEC teams.

Re: [gatortalk] Fw: [gatornews] Does Will Muschamp fit the profile of Head Gator?
I've certainly expressed my reservations about Muschamp here, and he may not work out, but there's a huge potential upside. I get why Foley thinks he's worth the chance. I also think your point that anyone is a risk is well taken. In Muschamp's case, since he actually is our head coach, I figure my best bet is to sit back and enjoy the interesting changes that are about to happen. The nice thing about being a fan is that I'm just along for the ride. I don't have the pressure of making it happen and, since I love the Gators no matter what, I can just relax and see what happens next season. I can't wait!

Does Will Muschamp fit profile of Head Gator? WoodyBass.com So I barely get my blog, What does the Gator Nation Want in the Next Head Gator?, posted and Foley pulls a fast one on me that very same day… and hires Will Muschamp. As I sit here freezing my backside off on a post snowy bah humbug in Atlanta… I thought now is as good a time as any to compare the Coach Must-Chomp hire to what the Gator Nation is looking for. First things first, the Gator Nation will have to be patient. 2011 was not going be an easy season to stomach as it was… but going through a grueling schedule like Bama, @LSU, @Auburn in a three game stretch while going through a transition not only in coaching staff but in philosophy… well stock up on antacids or valium… or both. In fact, I am actively encouraging the UFAA to send valium with their tickets next year. #1: First and foremost he has to have a very deep appreciation for the Gator Nation. Ok. I will fully admit when I heard that Foley had hired Muschamp I over reacted. I must have sent 100 emails and tweets saying “HE’S A BULLDOG’. I immediately hated the hire. Well, I overreacted. My disdain for the puppies 45 minutes from my home got the best of me. I didn’t research him thoroughly, nor did I think just how brilliant a hire Muschamp really was for Florida. Yes… he is a Graduate of “that school”. What I never realized was… deep in his heart he has always been a Gator. He grew up about a mile from Florida Field. He tried to walk on at Florida even after moving to Rome, Georgia where he graduated high school. Florida was his first choice, he only settled for “that school”. During his introductory press conference, talked about all the games he had been to at Florida Field, mentioned specific plays and the Gator players who made them. It was obvious deep down he has always been a Gator at heart. He left the opportunity to be the Head Coach at an equally impressive program of University of Texas… to be the next Head Gator. I cannot speak highly enough that he is reaching out to the Gator greats – Spurrier, Wuerffel, Tebow and yes Meyer. That is saying alot. In my eyes… requirement fulfilled. #2: He must be able to acknowledge the inflated expectations of the Gator Nation… and want to exceed them. Hmm.. I think he knows the Gator Nation expects wins. They expect championships. They expect to dominate our opponents, especially our direct rivals. I think he expects and wants them as well. But when the Gator Nation’s expectations are not met… how will he handle this? As with most of these requirements… only time will tell. But if he can handle it… I truly believe Muschamp will be a Gator for the rest of his career.

Re: [gatortalk] Tim Brando picked...
Where I think the coaching staff needs to work a miracle is in their own play-calling. I've watched our guys march down the field to the red zone over and over this year, only to have the coaches yank out the players who got us that far, setting up the opposing defense to look brilliant with a set of highly predictable and ineffective plays. We have talented players who can move the ball, but the coaches have got to give them a chance to succeed.

In theory, having three players on the field with QB skills offers some great potential for creating confusion on defense. But something like that must be the icing on the cake of an already solid offense. If your offense sucks, that just makes it more confusing for your own players. I do, however, appreciate the fact that they tried something ...anything... to try to jump start the offense. We really had nothing to lose for trying. Still, it was a failure and needs to be abandoned. The only real value I see that came from the three quarterback system is that it let us identify Reed as a potential starting QB. Of the three, he seems to have the most promise for next year (though he needs to learn to make his own reads). BTW, did anyone else notice that Burton took the first snap against the school out west? Does that mean that Brantley has already lost his position as starter?

I mean no disrespect, because I think the world of Meyer, but he's got to be kidding. He has reviewed every down of every drive in the last three games, and the best he can come up with is we can't pass, we can't run, we can't make big plays and we can't hold onto the ball?

GAINESVILLE -- The first step toward correcting a problem is identifying it, and coach Urban Meyer believes he has done that with his offense. Meyer said he reviewed each of his team's drives from its three-game losing streak and found three main causes for the Gators' slump: a lack of big plays in the running game, poor passing efficiency and turnovers. UF hasn't had a touchdown run longer than 11 yards in the past five games, ranks 10th in the Southeastern Conference in pass efficiency and is tied for second-worst in the conference for turnovers (14). ``It's all on paper. It's all up on the board,'' Meyer said. ``Now we're addressing how to fix those issues.'' To right the wrongs, Meyer said he would make adjustments to scheme and personnel, changes he hopes start with getting players healthy.

I make the same call. That particular play isn't about clever assignments or reads. There's no confusion about what to do. It's just brute strength against strength. There is no way our big, powerful offensive line doesn't get half a yard per attempt, even with JB under center. What scares me is wondering whether Adazzio has so little confidence in his line that he doesn't think they can do it in four tries.

Even if it is a half of a yard, there will always be 4th down. It is dull, even ugly, but it works. It also minimizes the chances of a tackle for a loss, or a penalty on the offensive line. I can't keep track of how many times sometime more clever than the QB sneak has backfired. Newton is big and strong. Pouncey is a hoss.

I don't hate Mullen. I wish him all the best and hope he has a long and successful career. I simply object to the media characterization that Gator fans wish they had Mullen back again. Some may, but I don't. Sure he called some good plays -- Adazzio calls some good plays too -- but that doesn't mean he is a particularly good game-day coach. It always seemed to me that he was excellent at designing plays on paper, as with some of the ones you pointed out, but just never had a feel for the flow of a game and no real knack for keeping offensive coordinators off balance.

Or, just maybe, this offensive line, supposedly the strength of the team, can't even figure out what to do with this offense either. They may be ill suited for the zone blocking and reads that the first half offense relies on. They seem to do MUCH better in the second half when Brantley starts throwing it around, when they are told to man up and block a person instead of an area. Again, an area in need of much change-- similar to what Dan has done with MSU. Take what you have, evaluate it, figure out what you do well, and then ride that horse. 29 out of 30 rushing plays. The one pass? A shovel pass, practically a running play as well. Dan does what you have to do to win. He does what works. We see this week in and week out, yet no adjustment, no improvement, no change. Its as if we (and dare I say it?) are stubborn just like SOS was when his passing game didn't work. What did Spurrier do when you squashed his passing? He continued to throw it, bound and determined to show the world a thing or two and that it will work. Well, by then, it didn't... and we would lose. I see that all over again, except this time it is this bastardization of the spread offense. When you stop our 3 or 4 plays, that we call 10 times each a game, we don't seem to make any changes until the second half. So what happens in the second half? We let Brantley be Brantley!

Re: [gatortalk] What bugs me
I completely agree on our not seeing the fake. When they called that timeout, I recall wondering why they would do that... then the light came on and I started yelling at the monitor, Watch the fake!. It is completely unimaginable that our coaches wouldn't see the same thing. Heck, I'm not an expert and it seemed obvious to me. I mean, this particular fake they do is like our jump pass. They pull it out two or three times a year in just this type of situation, and the timeout was a dead give away. On the free timeout while under review, that was indeed unfortunate, but I think the replay rules solve more problems than they cause. In this case, it was just our bad luck that it worked against us that way. I guess I'd be more incensed about that, and the bad fake punt call, if I felt that we had outplayed them and that we really deserved the game. In my mind this loss is all on the coaches. I'm also a bit more relaxed than in earlier games because now I can finally just accept that we're not a very good team this year. They're still my team and they still have my full support, but I can finally stop worrying about polls and national championships and just take it one game at a time. It'll be interesting to see if we can beat Mullen. Rob Sent from my iPad On Oct 11, 2010, at 10:36 AM, John Vega zebu...@gate.net wrote: Is not the forward/backwards pass issue. I am somewhat bothered that we didn't see the play coming. We did in our living room. The distance was longer than the kicker had ever completed in his career, and - even if successful - would merely have given LSU overtime on the road against a loud raucous crowd. It seemed obvious that Mile would try to win the game in regulation. What bothers me is that, when the first down as picked up, LSU players were running to the line to spike the ball on 1st down to stop the clock. I think that LSU was out of time outs at that point, having used its last to set up the fake previously. Had normal football been played, 6 or so seconds would have run off the clock and LSU would have spiked the ball on first down; leaving it three tries (and not a lot of time) at the end zone. There is also the outside change of a penalty on the offense for not being set, improper alignment, too many players on the field, as often happens when one tries to run to the line of scrimmage to spike the ball and stop the clock. Instead, the official review acted as a free LSU timeout, giving it a chance to freely substitute and be set when the clock started. More importantly, LSU no longer had to waste first down on the spike - giving it 4 shots at the end zone instead of 3. LSU scored on its fourth try; a try it would not have had but for the official review. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
