They could be the Golden Bulls, about as much as our offensive coordinator
is a guy named Adagio, or Mike Pouncey's brother is Maurice.

 http://247Sports.com/Recruit/Mike-Pouncey-4863 Mike Pouncey needs for
Saturday to get here quickly. After a nightmare game against Miami (OH) last
weekend that left him feeling truly embarrassed and the subject of national
ridicule, he needs to play well against USF when the Golden Bulls come to
town (12:21 p.m.; Ben Hill Griffin Stadium; SEC Network). He needs to redeem
himself. Then and only then will he get a good night's rest.

Several bad snaps by Pouncey set the tone for an effort so uninspiring that
the Florida Gators fell from third in the coaches poll to sixth in the most
recent rankings. Although the Gators finished off Miami to the tune of
34-12, their miserable offensive output (212 total yards), the lingering
memory of Florida's opening game win of the 2010 season is a mistake-filled
effort for which  http://247Sports.com/Recruit/Mike-Pouncey-4863 Mike
Pouncey has asked to shoulder all the blame. He feels his poor effort
reflected poorly on his teammates and that is a burden that he's been
carrying for the past three days.

I'm the leader of the offense and when the leader is messing it up, it
makes everybody look bad, Pouncey said early Tuesday afternoon. It's just
not expected out of me. I've been busting my tail. I haven't been able to
sleep all week ever since the game, trying to get it right and it's going to
be right this weekend.

If there is a word that probably best describes Mike, the half of the
Pouncey twins who stayed for his senior year (Maurice left early, was
selected by Pittsburgh in the first round of the NFL Draft and earned the
starting center job for the Steelers over veteran Justin Hart wig) it is
pride. He's proud to be a Gator and proud to be the team leader. He expects
to play well every time out. A second-team All-American at right guard last
year, Mike came back to play center, the position where Maurice earned the
Remington Award as the nation's best last year.

When you've invested so much into a new position and earning a chance to
better yourself in the next NFL Draft --- as a guard Mike would project late
second or early third round at best but as a center late first or early
second --- a game like the one
http://247Sports.com/Recruit/Mike-Pouncey-4863 Mike Pouncey had Saturday
is the worst possible nightmare. He's been called out on ESPN by Mark May
and is the star of a bloopers compilation on You Tube.

The snap issues were brand new for Mike and nothing he had experienced
before either in practice or in games. He was the backup center last year
and even played half of the Sugar Bowl victory over Cincinnati at center
without a single snap incident. When his third snap of the game went
bouncing past quarterback Johnny Brantley it was a surprise, but he didn't
think it would happen again.

It did. He bounced two more past Brantley during the game and was off target
on at least seven other snaps.

After the game,  http://247Sports.com/Recruit/Mike-Pouncey-4863 Mike
Pouncey stood before the media and accepted the blame for the way the entire
team played, knowing as he spoke that he was going to have to atone for his
bad game and atonement started with figuring out what went wrong, then doing
something about it.

I grew up where if you're doing something wrong you change it, Mike said.
I was doing something wrong so I don't want to stay the same. If I stay the
same we'll be back in here asking about the same thing [Saturday].

There are theories about what went wrong --- nerves, not locking his wrist,
too anxious to block instead of first focusing on getting the snap

He went to a start-up site at http://florida.247sports.com/.  He took Justin
Wells with him.  It is still in its infancy.  Clearly he hurt
GatorCountry.com when he left.  Ray has done a pretty good job with hiring
some quality replacements.  Dugan Arnett has some of Franz's ability to get
at the human interest story behind the regular story.  Derek Tyson has done
a decent job at replacing Justin as well.  They have made some other new
hires but they have not yet had the impact of Dugan and Derek.

 

I still support GatorCountry and Ray-particularly because of its historic
connection with GatorNet.  One of the difficulties with GatorCountry and
even GatorNet is that over time, we become family.  When someone leaves, it
is like a divorce.  It hurts, we grieve, we wonder if things will ever be
the same.  I still miss PD and Jeff Brown, to mention a two.  On
GatorCountry I miss Franz, Justin, and even Hollywood Bob.  Unfortunately,
premium web sites are a business and not just family.

He went to a start-up site at http://florida.247sports.com/.  He took Justin
Wells with him.  It is still in its infancy.  Clearly he hurt
GatorCountry.com when he left.  Ray has done a pretty good job with hiring
some quality replacements.  Dugan Arnett has some of Franz's ability to get
at the human interest story behind the regular story.  Derek Tyson has done
a decent job at replacing Justin as well.  They have made some other new
hires but they have not yet had the impact of Dugan and Derek.

 

I still support GatorCountry and Ray-particularly because of its historic
connection with GatorNet.  One of the difficulties with GatorCountry and
even GatorNet is that over time, we become family.  When someone leaves, it
is like a divorce.  It hurts, we grieve, we wonder if things will ever be
the same.  I still miss PD and Jeff Brown, to mention a two.  On
GatorCountry I miss Franz, Justin, and even Hollywood Bob.  Unfortunately,
premium web sites are a business and not just family.

So, this is where Franz Beard ended up? Where is he? Can't tell from the
article. 
And, are they the Golden Bulls? I thought just the Bulls.

 http://247sports.com/Recruit/Mike-Pouncey-4863 Mike Pouncey needs for
Saturday to get here quickly. After a nightmare game against Miami (OH) last
weekend that left him feeling truly embarrassed and the subject of national
ridicule, he needs to play well against USF when the Golden Bulls come to
town (12:21 p.m.; Ben Hill Griffin Stadium; SEC Network). He needs to redeem
himself. Then and only then will he get a good night's rest.

Several bad snaps by Pouncey set the tone for an effort so uninspiring that
the Florida Gators fell from third in the coaches poll to sixth in the most
recent rankings. Although the Gators finished off Miami to the tune of
34-12, their miserable offensive output (212 total yards), the lingering
memory of Florida's opening game win of the 2010 season is a mistake-filled
effort for which  http://247sports.com/Recruit/Mike-Pouncey-4863 Mike
Pouncey has asked to shoulder all the blame. He feels his poor effort
reflected poorly on his teammates and that is a burden that he's been
carrying for the past three days.

I'm the leader of the offense and when the leader is messing it up, it
makes everybody look bad, Pouncey said early Tuesday afternoon. It's just
not expected out of me. I've been busting my tail. I haven't been able to
sleep all week ever since the game, trying to get it right and it's going to
be right this weekend.

If there is a word that probably best describes Mike, the half of the
Pouncey twins who stayed for his senior year (Maurice left

Keith, 

 

I strongly disagree.  Franz was a loss.  He has been adequately replaced.
There is actually more content now than there was with Franz.  The
recruiting coverage is more extensive as well.
