RE: [gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] Mike Bianchi in the Sentinel
Thanks Tracy! It's great to get first hand reports from people who aren't constrained by media needs to sell newspapers. That's one of the great things about Gatortalk. I really appreciate your NASA postings on facebook, by the way. Thanks to you, I see the International Space Station when it passes overhead here in Middle Tennessee.

My family and I were at the Gator Gathering event Bianchi covered in Orlando. Coach Muschamp was optimistic but realistic, and he seemed full of energy. I was impressed that he seemed to speak off the cuff about the entire roster with emphasis on the players from the local area. It looked like he was just working from perhaps a one page outline of the team roster and talked about most players on the 2-3 deep depth chart. He said they'd be 100% committed to up-tempo offense and that they were working through how to adapt that when it came time to kill clock at the end of a game. He said the defense needs to be ready to defend more plays too with the fast tempo. He spoke a bit about strength and conditioning and how they've tweaked a few things to try to prevent injuries but tried not to overreact because there were some previous conditions that drove some of the problems, esp. with torn labrums. He cheerfully dodged an audience question about the team's take on crab legs in their training diet by smiling and saying, Next question..Seriously, next question. He was asked about orange jerseys and said he liked them remembering his experience attending UF games in the 80s. But he understood that some people didn't like being reminded of the 80s and probation. There were four players from the 80s sitting together and spoke up about how they didn't appreciate hearing that about their time. Daryl Perry and Tony Jones were two of the four names. Daryl is recovering from serious illness but is getting around much better. Bianchi had a nice article about Emmitt Smith helping Daryl Perry a few years ago if you're interested. Coach Muschamp seemed to smooth that over, told them they were invited to be around anytime they wanted, and then spent some time talking to that group of players when he finished speaking. He was very engaging during the autograph session and talked with me, my wife, and my two boys. In that respect, he was the anti-Meyer compared to my experience with him when UMIII came to Orlando in 2009 - he didn't speak and barely made eye contact with my son and me. In short, Coach Boom is a likable, hard-working guy who I hope can get things turned back in the right direction this year. He makes you want to pull for him to succeed. Go Gators!
