RE: Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: 6/17 06:01 --- UF statues to honor Heisman winners [Crabbe]
I would counter that looking at this as a professors vs. statues argument is flawed. I can't imagine that the booster(s) that are paying for this wouldn't give the money for academic purposes if requested, rather they have been asked to donate for this purpose. Now why would we ask them to do this? As has been previously stated, we are in an arms race to fund our athletic programs and be in a position to donate significant dollars back to the university. That arms race is in part fueled by winning teams, which are created with tremendous student-athletes. Now, what do you think will influence that stud RB to attend UF, a new religion professor or seeing those statues, knowing that one day he might have one too? It can be argued that without the statues, we will lose recruits, which will cost us to lose some games, which will reduce donations (see the Zook years) and ultimately have less money going back to the academic side of the university. Having said all of that, I don't like the statues. Not because of who or how they are being funded, I just think the whole idea is tacky. And I certainly wouldn't put one up of SOS until he leaves the cocks and retires. Ken K.

Giving more money to the university could be justified in any year, not just this year when things are bad. If the UAA were part of the University, it would be called a budget. But for the University, the UAA would not earn a dime. Semi-pro football founders, and even minor league baseball has trouble making money (with better players than play NCAA ball). So, I have trouble understanding that, when an arm of the University comes in under-budget, why not spending more money is considered a donation. Actually, the UAA gives more money than most other schools get out of their sports programs. Besides, who do you think funds softball, soccer and lacrosse? Ticket sales? Not only the sports, but all the scholarships related to ALL of the non-revenue sports at UF are funded by UAA. Well, OK, but how does this matter? Wouldn't they be part of the athletic department budget at another school? Money is fungible. I think your real point is that football pays for everything. Fine, but understand that a football-only athletic department would have serious Title IX problems, and that the non-revenue women's sports could reasonably be considered a part of the cost of operating the football program. The vast majority of colleges don't do that, nor do they even run in the black in any given year. That takes money directly away from professors at f$U. Does the financial success of the UF football program depend upon: 1. our students and alumni 2. our success on the field 3. the adroitness of the UAA? I recall selling out Florida Field in 1979 when we were 0-10-1. I have trouble believing that, but for the UAA, we would not have the same football revenue. Maybe we should pull a Vandy, and bring all of athletics in-house. -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 -- 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

RE: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN / A.P.]: 7/19 18:36 --- Report: Florida, NCAA probe violation allegation [Associated Press]
Gifts from family members are allowed. My problem with this whole situation, if true, is the selfishness of the act. He could have taken the $100k as soon as the game was over, no problem. But by taking it, if he did, before the game he basically thumbed his nose at his teammates and made all of their preparation and sacrifice for naught. From the bits I have read, it sounds like this money was not from the agent he signed with and this agent is now 'leaking; the information out. I am hoping that it went down something like the agent sends a unsolicited check for $100k, Maurkice gets it, doesn't cash it and signs with another agent. He thinks he has done nothing wrong since he never actually took the money and didn't sign with the agent. In any case, while some are trying to make this look bad for Florida, overall it is an NCAA problem and unscrupulous agents. It does seem like the NCAA is really trying hard to enforce it this year, so maybe something good will come from it. Trying to compare this situation to Reggie Bush is laughable.

I think leading up to the Alabama game, it will seem like the No. 1 rivalry, but Georgia is still tops with me. FSU still has to prove it's back. ** 15. Another topic that is sure to result in some questions out in Hoover is the lagging season ticket sales at several SEC schools. Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee are all down this year. Is it the economy or a lack of expectations or both? Is there any way to blame BP for the drop? 16. People like to get on the SEC for scheduling cupcakes and there is plenty of icing been spread around this year's schedules. But the Big 12 gets the softness award for scheduling only 12 of its 48 non-conference games against BCS teams. (The SEC has 16 of 48). Maybe we're starting to understand those lagging season ticket sales. 17. I brought this up on my radio show and offer it up to the Gator Nation. It's my contention that Florida's rivalries change in importance depending on what's going on with those schools. And right now I'd rank them this way - 1. FSU, 2. Alabama, 3. Georgia, 4. Tennessee.

Pay no attention to the humidity or the fact that it is July. It's football season. Because I said so. 10. Is it a conspiracy? Did the world's golfers get together and decide to try to ruin my summer? Seriously. OK, maybe my life is a vapid waste of brain cells but one of the real joys of summer is waking up early and watching the British Open. It was so boring, well, so boring I didn't watch much. Instead, I went to the beach and had a couple of Oosthuizens. Oh, wait, that's the guy who won. After a U.S. Open that failed to deliver the British was 10 times more boring. On the way to Daytona Beach, we went by a couple of sod farms and I joked that if one of those farmers was asked what he does for a living he'd say, I watch grass grow. Which would have been twice as interesting as watching this Open. I like Louis Oosthuizen. Seems like a good guy. Great golf swing which makes me wonder why he missed the cut in seven of his previous eight majors. But Sunday was a drag. Bad production values and way too much love for the mystique of the tourney. That I could have lived with if there was interesting golf. Like, say, Tiger Woods could still play. 11. We find ourselves wondering about the biggest reason we turn the TV on to watch golf. Woods was very average all week. When he switched putters it sounded like the act of a desperate man. I'm not ready to write him off but I am going to say he's not back, not really that close. St. Andrews was supposed to be his return to the throne. So was Pebble Beach. But the truth is the mental strain seems to have taken its toll on the world's No. 1 golfer. Phil Mickelson? I have no explanation for the way he played, especially the iron he hooked out of bounds on Saturday. 12. There was one great moment on Friday and that was when Tom Watson kissed the Swilcan Bridge on 18 and took one final ovation at the old course. Watson said he's not done with the tournament but he knows he's probably played his last British Open at St. Andrews. It was touching. And kudos to Tiger for letting Watson's group play up. Watson has been one of Tiger's biggest critics, but there are times when you have to let those things go. 13. Speaking of which, Michael Jordan needs to back off his criticism of LeBron James.

(AP photo) By Edward Aschoff Gainesville SUN Correspondent Published: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 7:10 p.m. Last Modified: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 at 7:10 p.m. HOOVER, Ala. - Greg McElroy is on a never-ending quest to better himself. Sure, he's 14-0 as the starting quarterback at Alabama and he's got an SEC and national championship ring to show off, but that's not enough. He wants his senior year to be about improving as a football player, while keeping that unbeaten record intact. To help, McElroy sought advice from one of the best in the sport. For the last couple of weeks, McElroy had the privilege of hanging out with Super Bowl-winning Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. The future NFL Hall of Famer told McElroy that in order to keep his success churning, timing has got to become an obsession. That is so important for a guy that's not going to be able to throw it through a brick wall, McElroy said. McElroy has worked constantly on trying to get the ball out of his hand as fast as possible. He's studied endless film, learning how his players move and how defenses operate. But the thing that's helped the most is actually getting together with his receivers to work on plays. Timing has truly turned into an obsession for him and his receivers, with the objective of having one of the nation's most exciting offenses. We want to be in the upper echelon of having explosive plays, he said. But McElroy's summer hasn't been all about football. The senior finished his second draft of the essay he's submitting to become a Rhodes Scholar and study at Oxford University in England. The 1,000-word essay on his intellectual journey from childhood to well into his future will focus on attempting to answer the question if talent on the football field and social and academic interaction are learned or natural. McElroy called former Florida State safety and Rhodes Scholar Myron Rolle on Tuesday for advice as he awaits his fate. McElroy will have his interview Nov. 20 - the Saturday before the Auburn game. It's a dream right now for McElroy, but becoming a Rhodes Scholar could go a long way to helping him improve the lives of others once football is over. I just want to make a difference, he said. -- 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

A couple of interesting quotes out of this article: Lots of pool time for Mallett I've been doing a lot of swimming to stay in condition. I haven't been able to run to this point, so I've been swimming a lot, doing a lot of weight room stuff with upper body. It's really helped me out. So Mallett is supposed to be all everything QB this year, but 2 weeks away from two a days and he still isn't running? Swimming can get you in great shape and condition, but running is different, after all, swimmers run to condition. If I were, god forbid, an Arkansas fan, this would be hugely concerning to me. Garcia finally getting it? I'm his roommate and I've seen a huge change, fullback Patrick DiMarco said. He's matured a lot. He's busting his butt, putting in the extra effort, working on his own with the receivers this summer, things that I haven't seen before. Hopefully, that will translate on the field. Spurrier gets all kinds of grief for the way he handles his QBs, but maybe some are just head cases.

By Robbie Andreu mailto:andr...@gvillesun.com Gainesville SUN Staff writer Published: Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 5:36 p.m. Last Modified: Thursday, July 22, 2010 at 5:36 p.m. HOOVER, Ala. - After all this serious and somber talk about agents and NCAA investigations, the mood at SEC Media Days was lightened considerably Thursday by a refreshing and humorous blast of good, old-fashioned homespun country air. New Vanderbilt coach Robbie Caldwell practically charmed the socks off the media with the tales he spun about growing up in tiny Pageland, S.C., and now having the opportunity to be a head coach after being a life-long assistant for more than 30 years. Caldwell held a captive (and laughing) audience for the 45 minutes he was on the podium. He was so genuine, so funny (and so different form the other head coaches) that he draw applause from the media when he finished. That's probably a first in SEC Media Days history. In less than an hour, Caldwell went from a complete unknown to possibly the most popular coach in the SEC (with the media, at least). He came here as such an unknown, he said someone gave him a tip when he held the door open for him at a restaurant Wednesday night. Oh, man, I got a dollar and a half. I gave it back to him, Caldwell said. I thought it was pretty good. He just gave me the change he had left. I thought that was pretty good. I wish I knew the name of the restaurant here. Golly, it was fantastic. By the way, I ate quail. I kept my heritage there. It was pretty neat. With a warm, friendly Southern drawl, Caldwell sounds a lot like Bobby Bowden. But it's doubtful Bobby has ever been this funny. Here are some Caldwell highlights: * On his work ethic - All I know how to do is work. I grew up in it. I've been a worker all my life. My wife said, 'You can't talk about anything but football.' I can. I can talk about pouring concrete, farming, being a pipe-fitter, working on a turkey farm. Those are the things I did prior to getting into football. That's the God's truth. * On whether the other coaches have welcomed him - No, not a one. No offense to them, but they don't know me. They will. * On whether he will continue to enforce Bobby Johnson's no profanity policy - You know, I'm no angel, that's for certain. You know, it's a sign of limited vocabulary sometimes. I know ya'll can't tell it, but I have an education. * On growing up in Pageland, S.C. - You had to like watermelon, No. 1, because it was the watermelon capitol of the world, we proclaimed anyway. You had to like hunting and fishing. Frog gigging. I was scared to death of girls, so that didn't interest me. And I played ball. We all played sports to get out of work. ... My first hourly paying job was on the turkey farm. I don't know if I could tell you what my job was, but I was on the inseminating crew. That's a fact. Best job I ever had, got paid by the

It as difficult for the average student, not for the student athlete. While Florida may be more stringent on athletes than others, we are no where near as stringent as Vandy, Duke or Stanford, none of which have won a NC in the modern age of football. I think the argument to get rid of Vandy is spurious at best. They compete very well against us in football, never win but always make it interesting. And they are competitive in basketball, baseball and the non-revenue sports. The more interesting comparison would be to look at Vandy and it's place in the SEC vs the bottom dwellers of other conferences. If you put Vandy in a conference with Washington State, Minnesota, Iowa State, Baylor, Duke, Syracuse, Kansas, Baylor, Indiana, Arizona State and Marykand, where do you think they would rank? My bet would be near the top every year. _ From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of oli...@bobparks.com Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2010 12:24 PM To: Gator Talk Subject: [gatortalk] Fw: [gatornews] [SUN]: 7/27 13:36 --- DOOLEY's DESK --- the Vandy solution [Dooley] You know, it's really as tough or tougher to get into UF as Vandy.

Both Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel and Paul Finebaum of the Finebaum Network have written than it's time for Vanderbilt to be kicked out of the SEC. Back in '98 as Florida was blowing out the Commodores, I sat on the 50-yard line at Dudley Field in Nashville and wrote a similar column. Not in the press box but in the stands. There was nobody within 15 yards of me. But I also understand that when we write these kinds of columns it validates the opinions that people outside the South have, that we're pulling up our jean-shorts by our rope belts and saying, We don't need any of that book learnin' in this conference. Vandy adds a lot to the league in several sports. You also have to realize that for athletic directors in this league, Vandy is a lot better than Arkansas. Nashville is not only a lot easier to get to, it's a lot more fun when you get there. However, Vanderbilt doesn't feel like an SEC school, has rotten facilities and never seems to take football seriously. I'm not pushing for their ouster. Instead, I asking the other 11 schools in the league to demand more of Vandy. They should tell the Commodores heirarchy that its next coach has to make a minimum of 2 million a year. Make Vanderbilt hire someone who players will want to play for. And force the Conmmodores to put some of that money that Alabama and Florida earn for them into their facility. Vandy isn't that much harder than Florida or Georgia to get into to. That's not the problem. The problem is nobody wants to go there. If Vandy is going to remain a viable member of this league, it has to spend some money to make it seem like an SEC team instead of the Kansas City Royals. Otherwise, boot 'em. http://dooley.blogs.gatorsports.com/10688/the-vandy-solution/feed/ Comments 3 Comments 1.

I think the 'journalists' from south Florida have been talking to Woody. Seriously, he is going to monitor the tone of voice??? Just how is he going to do that and what training or expertise does he have to provide such an incredible analysis? And, regardless (or is that irregardless) :) no matter what he says, it's probably not true. Jeesh! This whole fiasco might make Urban want to reopen practice. With everyone not knowing every detail of what is happening, rumors spread based on sperious information. If practice had been open, this was maybe a one day story. It will be interesting to hear how he explains it - if he explains it - but it will be equally interesting to monitor his tone of voice and whether he stays calm.

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

RE: [gatortalk] tonight
If you lived in Minnesota, you would know there is nothing else happening in the entire world tonight other than the Vikings playing the Saints. I think by gubenatorial decree they have mandated all television stations not showing the game to play a non-stop loop of the Vikings fight song. I hate the NFL. But then again, how stupid to have the Aub-MS St. game on the same night as NFL opening night? And having teams from the same region play in both games. It will be interesting to see the ratings, does college or NFL win in Mississippi?

RE: [gatortalk] Ruh Roh
It may be a popular phrase, but in the context of his actions last night I don't think he meant his batteries were dead. We can downplay this all we want but bottom line this is a serious issue. I agree that this will probably be plead down or dropped completely, but that doesn't change the fact that he did it. It also doesn't help the image of UF when, once again, we are in the ESPN ticker with negative news. We can no longer make fun of other schools transgressions as long as this stuff keeps happening. Yes, we deal with it differently in most cases, but obviously these kids aren't getting the message. Urban has always had a strong stance on violence against women, it will be interesting to see how he deals with Chris as he is one of his favorites. I am not advocating he be kicked off the team or out of school (although that may be school policy), rather he needs to have a multi-game suspension and enter some type of education/treatment program to ensure this doesn't happen again.

I am reminded of the Lacrosse player at University of Virginia that killed his girlfriend after an on and off relationship. I think Florida might have no other options due to the liability. Although I would hope there is an avenue to get him appropriate treatment and maintain the stability that he has in the University community. That would give him the best hope for long-term success.

RE: [gatortalk] Take off your orange and blue glasses
Oh come on now, you are offended by someone saying entitlement Gator?? I think it was incredibly offensive for Scott to put words in my mouth and say everyone on the list feels the way he does. I also believe many Gator fans feel entitled. My goodness, we went into that game expecting it to be close and while we made it closer than it should have been, we still won an away SEC game by 14 points! And we suck... While this team and coaches have a ways to go to be operating at peak efficiency, they are doing quite well given all the mistakes that are being made. I have watched a lot of football these past 3 weeks and there isn't a team out there that we can't beat. Of course, there are many teams that we could lose to as well. This team reminds me of Alabama last year. They struggled early in games against inferior opponents, but eventually put it altogether to finish the season incredibly strong. We have that same opportunity, but the play calling does need to improve and the players need to stop making mistakes. But, even if we make no improvement, I only see one sure loss and that is at Bama. USC will be tough, but I think we have the run defense to stop Lattimore and Garcia won't beat us in the air. LSU? Nope, too inconsistent. Ugh? Nope, the are done. KY, Vandy, MS State? Nope. F$U, not on your life. We are a very good football team that everyone thinks is a finesse team when we are not. We do need to find an identity on offense, the dive play was great to set up a Tebow run, but is ineffective to set up a Brantley option pitch. At this point in the young season, there are only 33 undefeated teams and 80 have already lost at least once. If we were VaTech or Ole Miss, then we would have something to complain about!

[gatortalk] Technical Talk Opinions
Okay, I don't profess to be a football expert, but I do think I know little about the game. Everything below is my opinion only and no matter how I state anything, nothing is fact, my opinion only! The Gators are not as bad as they have looked at times and I don't think we have seen them as good as they can be either. There have been several glaring errors - poor snaps, penalties, blown coverages. And some supposed errors - wrong people on the field, bad play calls, coaches not seeing the fake FG and calling TO. The problem with evaluating this team for me, is that I only get to watch on TV, so I don't get to see the whole field and make my own determination if the play calling is effective and/or if the QB read was correct on the play. Having said that, here is what I have seen: - Watching on TV which typically shows 10 yards beyond the line of scrimmage on the main shot, you will usually only see 7 or 8 defensive players. That means that the safeties at least are playing very deep and keeping everything in front of them, the classic Tampa2 defense. Contrary to what the spread offense implies, Urban is a very conservative coach, if the D is keeping you from the deep ball, the reads go to the short crossing routes where our speedy WRs go against LBs. This is not flashy and doesn't result in 2 minute scoring drives, but it is taking what the defense is giving us. The thing I can't see on TV is are our WRs getting any separation when they are running off the coverage? The alternative is to go the Arkansas route, where the offense is designed to go deep and will try that no matter what, the result is interceptions when it doesn't work. - The dive play. This is really part of the triple option and the reason it goes up the middle is partly because of the explanation above. If the D plays 2 deep safeties and we complete a bunch of crossing patterns, the LBs will tend to creep back to better cover the crossing play. When this happens, if the OL is blocking well, our speedy RB will pop through the hole and have the opportunity to make a couple of guys miss for a big gain. So, we keep running what is seemingly an unsuccessful play over and over, the whole purpose being to keep the LBs closer to the line so the crossing routes and wide runs work better. The biggest issue with this team however is the intangibles. Identity and team chemistry, this team is lacking. As far as team chemistry I can only guess at the dynamics, but given some of the quoted chatter and rumors that were swirling, I think there were/are some, dare I say it... entitlement players on the team. Guys that thought just because I am here, I should play. this goes for both the upperclassmen and freshman. We have had 5 years of top notch recruiting classes and there are a lot of guys who have paid their dues and expect to play and there are a lot of newbies that are great and expect to play. When you have a guy like Pouncey talking smack before the season and then going out and having the worst performance by a Center I have ever seen, it doesn't help matters. The identity issue is related to the above, but has different issues on offense and defense. On offense, we started out trying to run the same spread we ran for the past 3 years, that won't work because we don't have #15. So the coaches have been trying to figure out what we are good at and create this hybrid spread-pro set offense. If you are a young player on the team and you are used to this fast paced high scoring machine, it has to affect your psyche. It appears we are finally getting into some type of rythym, but is still seems choppy. Q1 against UK was great, Q2 back to the basics, Q3 much better. We need to find the consistent play and play calling. On defense the problem is too many good players, a nice problem to have. We have so many guys with roughly the same level of experience, we keep rotating them in and out, but all it takes is for one of them to be playing on the wrong play that he doesn't know how to cover or against a mismatch WR. Cody Riggs, is an awesome special teams player, but got abused in the KY game. Last, the Bama game worries me, but all big games make me feel this way. I have watched Bama play 3 times this year, and while they may have won more impressively, they aren't as great as everyone is making them out to be. They make mistakes and had to come back from a double digit deficit against Arky and had to rely on several incredible Arky mistakes to win. I think we can score on Bama, the question is can we stop them from scoring. Ingram and Richardson are big, fast bruising backs, they can't be arm tackled and that is a weakness of our team in my opinion. We seem to have a hard time wrapping up players and taking them down, they always seem to get that extra 2 or 3 yards after contact. Add in the mix Julio at WR and we have another big guy to take down. I think this will be relatively high scoring for what are

RE: [gatortalk] Technical Talk Opinions
There are other reasons you run that play - it helps identify defensive assignments - it is a part of the triple option (dive, QB keeps, pitch) It is up to the QB to read the play and determine if he is going to give it. Without a true option QB though you almost need to make up your mind before you read the play, otherwise by the time you pull it out to run the QB, he better be fast, big or both.

[gatortalk] And here we go again...
All along I have been defending this team, figuring they just needed to jell and by this point in the season we would be cruising. Even after last week, I thought it was our mistakes that Bama took advantage of to win. But after this week I am moving closer to Scott's position. The coaching is abhorent, the players intensity is terrible and we are still making too many mistakes. I am tired of Adazzio telling us this is one of the best o lines in the country. It isn't even close, in fact there are probably 10 DII lines better. We can't pass protect, we can't open holes for runs, but we can pull our center just like a guard for whatever good that does us. This season is not over, we still control our destiny as far as the SEC goes, but we need to fix lots of things now. I am not sure it isn't a good idea for Urban to take over play calling responsibility, because we are way too predictable. As far as our D goes, our sole mission on that last drive had to be keep everything in front of you. Horrible. Congrats to LSU, they came in and played their best game of the year.

[gatortalk] Talk about the fake FG
I am never one to complain about the refs, as I believe they are human (at least most except the Childress crew) and are apt to err from time to time. If you play well, generally any officiating mistakes don't come into play. I have seen a lot of people complaining about the fake FG, there are several issues with the call: - since the holders knee was on the ground and no kicker behind him, was he down? - if it was a backwards pass and it hit the ground, why was the kicker able to advance the fumble on 4th down? - was it a forward pass that hit the ground? As to the holders knee on the ground, that is legal. The rule states that it is okay if you are simulating a kick. While you could interpret that has a kicker must be there, it is accepted as once you line up and snap the ball with the kicker in position, that satisfies the simulating a kick requirement. The second point, a backwards pass is different than a fumble. While a fumble can only be advanced by the fumbler on 4th down, a backwards pass is deemed a loose ball and can be picked up by anyone on the offense. Was it a forward pass? This one is close and is probably the best place for Gator fans to argue. The rules state that when in doubt, it is a forward pass. Here is the rule: Forward and Backward Pass ARTICLE 2. a. A forward pass is determined by the point where the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond the spot of the pass. All other passes are backward passes. When in question, it is a forward pass rather than a backward pass when thrown in or behind the neutral zone. I don't think you can look at the replay and tell definitively, you would have needed a camera exactly along the line of the pass to determine. You can google parallax error to figue out why the camera angle we saw wouldn't necessarily be accurate. It does look like it was forward slightly and the ref should have ruled so initially, when he didn't there wasn't enough video evidence to overturn. Unfortunately, this call didn't go our way. This same play was used against us two years ago and we should have been in FG safe, especially on a 54 yard kick, especially on the edges. A block of a kick that long will come in the middle, the kick will come out low and quick. The guys on the edge had to hold contain, they weren't going to block the kick. I blame this on the coaches, just like Kirby Smart was jumping up and down for the jump pass last week, I was yelling at the TV to watch the biggest gambler in football and the fake. Nobody listened...

RE: [gatortalk] What bugs me
To be fair, they did ge a first down at the 3 and scored on 3rd down with 6 seconds left. If they had missed that play, they still had one more down to go. -Original Message- From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of John Vega Sent: Monday, October 11, 2010 9:37 AM To: Gatortalk@googlegroups.com Subject: [gatortalk] What bugs me 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

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.

We win championships as a team, and we fight through adversity as a team, Meyer said Monday. I just want to make sure we avoid the poison that affects college football teams. Meyer addressed several points at his weekly meeting with the news media Monday at UF: I don't feel like we played great defense. Red-zone efficiency is not where we want it. Lack of explosive plays ... we're void of those right now. And taking care of the football. Those are the core values of how to win a game. We're not having those home-run shots. (Jeff) Demps being banged up, we see a guy like (Andre) Debose can get some things done. Meyer was not happy with the production of his offensive line. I don't think we played great, he said. Very inconsistent. It seems the moment you get one group back, then the skill positions get banged up. We're anxious to get everyone back. LSU became a blitz-a-thon. There are ways to relieve pressure ... but we didn't do those things very well. On the injury front, Meyer said Demps is feeling a lot better, but wasn't ready for the LSU game. Offensive lineman Jon Halapio is doubtful after surgery on his fractured finger Sunday. QB John Brantley has a sore shoulder to go along with sore ribs and a sprained thumb. Safety Matt Elam and wide receiver Deonte Thompson have concussions and are day-to-day. Meyer said he heard the fans booing the play calling at Saturday night's loss to LSU.

RE: [gatortalk] I miss Dan Mullen
Except, the spinwheel came out during the 2007 season. We lost 4 games that year. And while I will agree that our offense was better that year than this (could it be worse?), it was still very predictable and even with two of the best all time players Mullen couldn't win more than 9 games. And as far as the players not having the ability, come on, they make plays all game long and miss one and they don't have the ability? I am not happy with this teams performance either, but to think it would have been okay with Adazzio in another role is whistling past the graveyard. We went through tremendous upheaval in our coaching staff this year and if what Steve is saying is true, the foundation on which the program was built is crumbling. The problems we are seeing on the field are systemic and replacing one person will not right the ship.

RE: [gatortalk] I miss Dan Mullen
I think we are on the same page here. I agree that this is Meyer's problem. Everyone is saying we need to fire Adazzio, replace Brantley, etc.,etc. We have problems in every facet of the game from play calling to execution to chemistry and leadership. Replacing one person won't solve the problem, we need to find the root cause and fix that. Is it the disorganization in practice? I don't know but we better find out soon! And yes we have players making plays all game. Janoris Jenkins has 2 interceptions on the year, yet missed covering the kicker on the LSU fake FG, Carl Moore has been making plays, Gillislee has been productive.

Seriously? Adazzio is the assistant head coach. He is number 2. He has been there and done that. If practice is not going smoothly because too many new faces as Steve suggests, Adazzio is the fiery, motivational leader that isn't leading? He doesn't have some level or responsibility to take charge of that? Why would he sit idlely by and let that happen? He was there last year, he knows what should be done and how. Is he afraid of stepping on Meyer's toes? Surely Meyer sees the disorganization, shouldn't he step in or have his assistant head coach take charge? Something is amiss... and it does start with coaching. I stated that in an earlier post. I also stated that these highly skilled players didn't just start sucking. They are not being coached up correctly. They didn't suddenly stop running fast. They didn't stop making plays or unlearn how to catch. They are not being put into a position to maximize their ability, and that goes exactly in line with what I was saying about designing around your personnel. All of these kids are Meyer recruits. They should fit or you have a plan to utilize their skills, if they don't and you don't, then don't recruit them. It seems as if people are afraid to point the finger at Meyer. They would rather pinpoint Adazzio and, while he may be the root of the problem, its up to Meyer to fix. That's why he is paid the big bucks. I'm glad he is finally saying we need a change.

I had the thought that Brantley might transfer after this year if things don't improve. He is in his 4th year, so should be on track to graduate. He would then be able to transfer to a D1 school that offers a masters program that UF does not and play next year.

RE: [gatortalk] I DON'T miss Dan Mullen
I'm not sure I buy the whole zone blocking thing anyway. Even in a pro-set offense the line does zone blocking and you have pulling guards, etc. I think the problem is too many missed assignments, rarely having a back in to block and when we do, he misses. In 2006 our most valuable player was Billy Latsko the FB. We need to go back to that set and then we will be able to run.

I have an opposite opinion. In the first half, in which we zone block for this spread nightmare, we are not doing well at all. However, when we let them pass protect and run block normally in the second half, it works! I think there is some merit to them not being ready to do both equally well. But then if they do one well, why not run it all the time? We have been effective in the second half when we let Brantley be Brantley. I also concur that it is not wholly Brantley's fault. He has had more than his fair share of drops. I do want to point out that the sore thumb is NOT helping matters and explains the errant passes. Hopefully he heals up in the next 2 weeks. I do not think we need to push Burton into the starting role or take away Brantley's reps. What he needs is the offense to work to his strength and the O-line's strength which seems to be a more pro style drop back and block offense. It is NOT what we have been doing in every first half to date. We are forcing two square pegs into one round hole-- Brantley and the O-line.

[gatortalk] Revisionist History re: Cam Newton
During the Auburn Arkansas game on Saturday they made a statement regarding Cam's transfer, basically saying he decided to transfer after Tebow announced he was coming back for his senior year. That didn't sound right to me, primarily because it isn't true. Cam was arrested 11/21/08 for throwing the Heisman out the window, he announced on 1/05/09 that he was transferring to Blinn CC, Tebow announced he was coming back at the NC celebration on 1/12/09. So a full week before Tebow announces, somehow Cam already knew... At the time remember, Cam was suspended from the team and Tebow was in Miami for bowl prep. Cam transferred for the simple reason that he had been suspended from the team for comitting a criminal act, he had the opportunity to rejoin the team but took the option to transfer so he could playing time, not because Meyer kicked him off the team. He had the same opportunity to rejoin the team as Chris Rainey, bu we keep hearing about the double standard of Meyer. I wish Cam all the best in the world, but the adoration that is being piled on him while casually dismissing the 'incident' is just wrong. UF still gets raked over the coals for having 30 arrests - guess what Cam was one of those, so why doesn't his arrest transfer with him??? Also, Cam is the QB he is today because he transferred. The year as a starter in CC was what he needed, he wouldn't have gotten the reps as the backup or 3rd string that he got as the starter at Blinn. That is what made him the better QB today.

[gatortalk] I've gotta good feeling...
This off week came at the perfect time, it has allowed everyone to sit back calm down and look at this season in the grand scheme of things. It has given the football team a chance to heal physically and it has given the coaches an extra week to fix the problems. It has even given me a chance to go back and re-watch the last three games, boy, what a joy! At the risk of being labeled a Polly Anna, we are not as bad as we have looked. In fact, for as bad as we have played we easily could have won the last two games. Of course, we could have just as easily been blown out. What I am seeing with this team is conservative play calling, poor execution by players and turnovers. With bad play calling and poor execution, we still would have won the last two on talent alone. Throw in turnovers at inopportune times and it spelled doom. Playcalling - I am not sure if it's the plays being called or the scheme. I watch a lot of football and there are a couple of plays that we just don't run. One is WR crossing routes off the line - this makes the defense make a choice immediately as to who is going to cover who, more often than not one of the WRs will get separation and be open. This is an especially important play for us as our OL is not providing the protection for our guys to get open downfield, and most D's are playing a cover 2 most of the time, leaving 2 safeties deep to double on the long ball. The second thing that is missing is misdirection - based on how we line up and certain tells (look at RBs and OL slightly angled in the direction we are going), not every player but enough that a LB who has watched enough film during the week can probably guess right 80% of the time which direction we are running. A misdirection play will help because they now have to wait before attacking the hole. The third big missing play is a simple slant or crossing route from our slot receivers. These guys will usually be covered by a LB coming across the middle and we should be able to win that battle, but we never seem to run the play. The last thing is audibles at the line. I don't know if Brantley is allowed to or not, but last week we had at least 2 plays where the corner came on a blitz and the WR was left uncovered as the safeties had crept up to cover the run. A simple hot audible and it would have been a TD, but instead we handed off to a RB both times. Execution - Who was the coach when asked about his team's execution replied I'm all for it? Bottom line is we have very talented players who more often than not are in position to make plays, but don't. I don't know if is mental or what, but they have the physical attributes but tank. Brantley with off-target throws, we have seen him zip it in at time, but he is inconsistent. Deonte with the drops, numerous OL whiffing on blocks, DBs who can't tackle, etc. I have a hard time attributing this to coaching as this coaching staff has been successful in the past, yes there are a lot of changes, but at the same time there is a lot of holdover too. Turnovers - Anybody else equate the return of fumbilitis with the return of Stan Drayton? Wasn't that the big knock on him when he left? Turnovers are killing us, we fix this and things will get better in a hurry. As for this weekend, I'm as nervous as I have been in a long time for a Cocktail Party, but I think we will come out strong and with something to prove. Ugh is going to come out and think they can throw it all over the field like they have the past 3 games (against UT, UK and Vandy). They are going to find out that even with 3 losses, we are bit more formidable opponent than they have seen recently and if they want to try and use AJ Jones, bring it on, I say we end up with at least 3 picks this weekend. If we don't turn the ball over, Gators win 34-17. If we turn it over, someone better rush Woody to the hospital...

RE: [gatortalk] Stirring the pot
Or he could be saying something to just say something because fans and media need to here SOMETHING. Urban has always kept things close to the vest and I have never put much stock into what he says, but as Steve said a few weeks back, the urgency in practices has been missing, maybe this is to what he is referring. I still stand by my opinion that we are not that bad. We are inconsistent and have made very bad plays at very bad times. I think the team chemistry is a huge issue, think about this sequence: - having highly touted freshman come in being cocky - having the senior offensive leader crack back at them through the media - senior leader then goes out and lays the biggest egg ever - no playmakers, but a lot of young guys on the sideline that show glimpses of brilliance (and inexperience) when they get in the game - 3 straight losses What I hoped happened over the off week was that players and coaches were able to decompress and everyone realize what needs to be done to win. Thinking that Urban and staff haven't seen some specific areas of improvement, doesn't give him much credit. Did he suddenly forget everything that has been successful in the past?

RE: [gatortalk] Georgia overtime
Yep, that is true. If we had scored on the INT return, game over. Since it wasn't a score but a change of possession, all possessions in college OT start at the 25. At the beginning of OT they flip a coin, winner gets to pick whether they want to be on offense or defense first. Usually they will pick defense first, that way you know if you have to go for it on 4th down if the other team has already scored a TD. In each subsequent OT period, the possessions alternate, so since we were on D first, we woul the be Offense first in the 2nd OT, they don't re-flip the coin.

RE: [gatortalk] AUBURN IS BURNING
Nope, they don't need to proove Cam had knowledge. Remember, the NCAA is not a court of law, they don't need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt or even to the preponderence of evidence. They can make any decision the infractions committee feels just based on the information in front of them. And while they don't have subpeona powers, if they ask a member school for information or access to an individual associated with the school, the school must provide or it is deemed an admission of guilt (see the F$U case). If the rule were simply that if Cam didn't have knowledge, then it is okay, every school in the country would be paying parents. The problem at hand is the NCAA does not move fast in this type of investigation. They will want to see the whole picture to determine if it is simply an athlete eligibility issue or if some of these other allegations are also true. Until they rule, it is up to the school to determine eligibility and Auburn has determined they will play Cam. Auburn is playing a risky game of poker here, if Cam is ultimately ruled ineligible, their whole season goes down the crapper, or they may determine he is eligible and all is well. In the meantime, they play for the SECC and BCSC and possibly bring home a title. Two years down the road, the NCAA may rule and the wins get stripped, but they have had two years of recruiting success based on this year. Auburn is all in, do or die.

Why do people go looking for stories like this? It is really meaningless without comparative data from aother schools; b other groups of students at UF or c any other scientific measurement. Rather, they compare it to college aged males in the country (not drivers, all males), to all males in Alachua County between 18 and 24, and to an estimate by UPD on the average number of citations the average UF student receives. Heck, I received 3 tickets in Gainesville, so I was 3 times more likely than the average student I guess. This is just ridiculous and is a pathetic attempt by a local paper to try and make a name for themselves by bringing down the big guy.

Literally. Florida has had well-publicized arrests in recent months stemming from traffic charges - including Carlos Dunlap's DUI charge on Dec. 1 -- but those incidents comprise a small fraction of a team-wide 251 traffic citations in Alachua County, according to Orlando Sentinel research. These charges range from speeding tickets to numerous cases of driving with a suspended or revoked license, typically a second-degree misdemeanor or, for repeat offenders, a felony. The data was compiled in late November and early December through Alachua County court records, accounting for 96 Gators who either entered fall camp on scholarship or served in the game participation portion of this season's boxscores. Charges stem from 2006-09 for football players who usually drive cars or motorized scooters around campus or in Gainesville. Depending on the source, some in the legal world consider any traffic misdemeanor or felony charge a technical arrest. The Gators have 21 such charges, mostly from getting caught with a suspended license. Most charges don't result in jail booking. Thirty-two of the team's citations were listed as open or undisposed in the Alachua County system at the time of this search, meaning they are either unpaid or unresolved. Many Gators obey the laws of the road. Thirty-two players - yes, including Tim Tebow http://www.orlandosentinel.com/topic/sports/football/tim-tebow-PESPT008528. topic - never have received a documented traffic ticket in Alachua County. Eleven of the 32 are from the 2009 signing class and have been on campus less than a year. But 12 different Gators have seven or more tickets, including team leader Jermaine Cunningham, an All-Southeastern Conference defensive end who has almost as many career tickets (14) as sacks (18). The list includes cornerback Markihe Anderson (11), offensive lineman Marcus Gilbert (11), offensive lineman Corey Hobbs (11), safety Dorian Munroe (11), defensive back Miguel Carodine (11), linebacker Dustin Doe (9), offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey (7), All-American linebacker Brandon Spikes (7) and three starting defensive linemen -- Lawrence Marsh (7), Terron Sanders (7) and Jaye Howard (7). Two players, Carodine and freshman quarterback Jordan Reed, have received a criminal charge for driving while never owning a license. Dunlap, who fell asleep at the wheel at a Gainesville intersection four days before the Southeastern Conference Championship Game, has the only DUI charge among the Gators. The cases of Cunningham, who avoided arrest, and Doe, who was arrested in July for driving excessively with a suspended license, resemble a common tale State Attorney Bill Cervone knows too well. Someone accumulates too many tickets, possibly doesn't pay them and eventually gets assessed an unknowingly driving with a suspended license charge. That charge classifies as a routine criminal or civil traffic citation - pay and go on your way - but the second time around would elevate to a knowingly driving without a valid license. Cunningham caught the suspended license charge in Jan. 28, 2008, and the case has been resolved along with all his previous citations. Doe has only nine total tickets, but four of them are criminal charges and three are still classified as open until he fulfills stipulations such as community service stemming from his summer arrest.

RE: [gatortalk] News?
I'm no Pollyanna, but I want to know what you were expecting for next year and how do you think that changes now? At this point, we don't know who the recruits are, we don't know which juniors leave early and we don't know who will actually be coaching. It is way too early to begin writing off the 2010 season. In my opinion, 2010 will surprise a lot of people. While our schedule is more difficult, our talent is still above most. At this early stage here is how I see it breaking down: Sure wins (5): Miami (OH), Kentucky, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Appalachian State Probable wins (4): USF, Tennessee, South Carolina, SOW Tough games (2): LSU, Georgia Probable loss (1): Alabama So if the sky is falls and the program is in disarray, we are looking at 8-4, more likely scenario is 9-3 or 10-2. If we hold the recruiting class together, the number of juniors going pro is limited to Haden, Dunlap, Hernandez and one or both of the Pouncey's, and the coaching situation is stabilized (either way) I think you can add USF, Tennessee, USC and SOW into the wins and Georgia into a probable win. Coach Meyer has built a winning program at UF. It will continue to thrive with or without him at the helm. Adazzio is a very experienced coach who had some growing pains this year as the head signal caller. I expect him to have more confidence and accept greater input from others on the staff this year so we will see better play calling. You also have to add in the intangible factor of motivation. The underclassmen have been hearing all year - wait till next year when Tebow is gone. This off season, you can bet they will be motivated to let everyone know, the foot is not off the gas pedal. It is a very important year in the Gator program, we need to beat UT, LSU, UGA and SOW to let them know that while Tebow is gone, the Gators are continuing to rise. Ken K.

RE: [gatortalk] Interesting parallel
I think that when the announcement was made there were a lot of emotions tearing people apart. Regardless (or is it irregardless?) :-) once the dust settled with or without Meyer, I think we would have been fine. Would Rainey and Black really leave early to not be drafted? Would all the potential recruits leave just because Meyer is gone? Some would, but the core would stay intact. The interesting thing about this years recruiting class is that we have a very stocked team right now. These new recruits are to reload, not rebuild. So even if we miss on a few, it won't be all damaging and put us behind others in the state as some would like you to believe. The biggest downside to this years class is the numbers, we can sign the full 25 this year and with some attrition, we might sign fewer or take risks on lower rated prospects. My belief is in the end, we will end up with a top 5 class and all will be well.

I can guarantee that Coach Meyer will not leave this program in shambles, he has built the PROGRAM to a point that if his health forces him out, we will continue our stay at the top.

RE: [gatortalk] 15 seconds (give or take) of fame(?)...
Steve, I think you nailed the reason why the tickets weren't selling through the UAA. Lot's of reason for it too: - Had to have really high priority to get BCS tickets through UAA. Many people who did not have that priority had already made other arrangements through StubHub or others. - Many Gators had made plans to travel out West - spend a few days in Vegas or Arizona before heading to the game. Those other vacation plans are often hard or expensive to change. - Can't ignore the economy, the face value tickets are expensive and travel is a hassle as well. - And finally, the tickets the UAA had to sell were some of the worse in the stadium, the schools allotments are usually in the corners of the endzones, so better tickets can be had buying directly from the Sugar Bowl.

RE: [gatortalk] RE: [gatornews] Florida assembling a class for the ages
We can actually sign up to 34 this year, depending on who goes pro early. We only signed 16 last year, so up to 9 of the early enrollees will count back to the 2009 class. Currently, we have 9 early entrants, and possibly 2-3 more. Since we are under the 85 limit, we can sign the full 25 for this year as well. I don't think we will sign that many, but will probably take 28 or 29 if they are the right guys. We could still pick up 5* OL Seantrell Henderson who is the #1 player in the country overall, and we now have a shot at several of the USC 5* guys now that Carroll is fleeing the sinkinf ship. If all this sticks, we will end up with one of the best overall recruiting classes ever. That is simply amazing considering what we have gone through. And with at least 9 of them available for spring practice and Mickey's conditioning, we should get a few very valuable contributors for next year.

SAN ANTONIO -- The Florida Gators have what is already the nation's top-ranked recruiting class. Apparently, that's not good enough. After landing three more of the nation's top players during the Army All-American Bowl, the Gators are assembling one of the best recruiting classes of all time. One week after scoring defensive tackle http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=83134 Dominique Easley (Staten Island, N.Y./Curtis) and receiver http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=69014se ason=2010 Chris Dunkley (Pahokee, Fla./Pahokee) during the Under Armour All-America Game, the Gators earned commits from DT http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=71591 Sharrif Floyd (Philadelphia/George Washington), ATH http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=69371 Matt Elam (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla./Dwyer) and five-star DE http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=66339 Ronald Powell (Moreno Valley, Calif./Rancho Verde). Florida now has 24 commitments in the 2010 class, including 15 from the ESPNU 150. The impressive haul includes three five-star prospects and 13 four-star prospects, not including postgraduate four-star athlete http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=99494se ason=2010 Travon Van (La Mesa, Calif./Milford Academy). Even some of the Gators' commits are surprised at how this class has come together over the past two weeks. Four-star tight end http://insider.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=69213 Gerald Christian (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla./Dwyer) has been there from the beginning, having committed to Florida in April of his junior year, but didn't see this coming. We have a very ridiculous class, said Christian, who is No. 32 in the ESPNU 150. We have three five-stars and a lot of people didn't think people were going to commit because of all of the stuff that went on with Urban Meyer. I'm glad to see it turned out the way it has. I didn't expect it to turn out this way but it's amazing. The all-star games are normally a fertile recruiting ground for committed players to recruit other players to join them at their school, but Christian hasn't even had to sell the program. Florida is basically just recruiting itself right now. I haven't had to say a thing, Christian said. The commitment party got started for the Gators at halftime when Floyd, the four-star DT, picked Florida over Ohio State, North Carolina and South Carolina. I just felt Florida was the best fit for me, Floyd said. I felt as though Florida and Ohio State were good fits, but Florida was just like a home away from home and I know I'll grow as a player.

RE: [gatortalk] Sun: 11 Recruits enroll early
My thinking is that everyone is just guessing at this point. The coaches know who is going pro, and probably have a good idea of who is going to transition out of the program, the rest of us are just guessing at how many ships are available. It really doesn't matter how many we count back to last year, as next year we won't be able to sign the full 25 anyway. I think the author of the article is thinking we can only sign the SEC maximum of 28 regardless of which class they count towards and so we would only have to count 3 of them back to last year.It seems from several sources, that you can only sign 28 max due to the new SEC rule, and that is a shame.

And the Gators are expected to sign the SEC maximum of 28 players on national signing day (Feb. 3). Of the 24 high school prospects who have committed to the Gators, 11 are enrolled in classes and will participate in spring practice. The latest early enrollees include three of the five UF commitments who played in Saturday's Army All-American Game in San Antonio - cornerback Jaylen Watkins and West Palm Beach Dwyer teammates Matt Elam (safety) and Gerald Christian (tight end). Elam is one of the three five-star prospects who announced for Florida during Saturday's game. The others were defensive tackle Shariff Floyd and defensive end Ronald Powell. UF's other early enrollees are defensive end Neiron Ball, quarterback Trey Burton, wide receiver Robert Clark (another Dwyer teammate of Elam and Christian), defensive back Jordan Haden, defensive lineman Leon Orr, wide receiver Solomon Patton, defensive back Joshua Shaw and offensive lineman Ian Silberman.

Yep, Coach O started calling all of UTs early entrants and told them not to go to class today. That way they will not have to sit out a year. Incredibly classy, you recruit a kid to a school, he graduates from high school early giving up all the fun of a senior spring - no prom, etc. - then you move him to a new town and now you tell him to stop and think about his decision?

Many in the general public can't understand why the Heisman Trophy winner and three-time finalist may not be a top NFL pick, said ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay, who gets questions about it all the time. It has to do with Tebow's accuracy, how long it takes him to release the football, and the system he played in at Florida, he said. It's hard to believe and hard to explain, said McShay, who tabs Tebow as a third-round pick. He has been the face of college football for the last 2 1/2 years. Yeah, the reason they can't believe it is because you can't explain it. Tebow has accuracy issues? Really, the guy who set the all time NCAA pass efficiency mark? I agree his release time might be an issue, but I can point to many QBs with quick releases who suck and many with slow releases who are stars (Brett Favre, Steve Young anyone?) McShay is a tool and has no credible experience other than having an opinion. But because he works for ESPN, his word is gospel and he is the expert.

That's because Brandt, former head of player personnel for the Dallas Cowboys, never says who he's inviting, especially this early. It has been the NFL's policy not to invite players who the league thinks could be sweating it out in the green room for hours, let alone days. And Tebow could very well sit well through the third round. Or he could be taken high in the first, depending on which NFL Draft web site, analysts or agents you go to for an answer. The draft will be broadcast over three days this year, starting with the first round in prime time Thursday, April 22, the second and third rounds in prime time Friday and the fourth through seventh rounds during the day Saturday. It will be broadcast on ESPN and NFL Network. The NFL, which invited about 10 players last year, may invite even more this year, said Jay Rothman, ESPN coordinating producer, who has overseen the draft for that network since 1995. I have been in meetings with the NFL already, and there is a push to give it more entertainment value, Rothman said. We have had dialogue about expanding the list of invitees to New York. The question is whether players will come or their agents will advise them not to go. Agents have told SportsBusiness Journal that they don't want their clients there if they don't go in the top 10. Tebow's agent, Jimmy Sexton, did not immediately respond to a call. In a brief interview earlier last week, Sexton confirmed he had signed Tebow for playing contract work. Tebow may select an additional agent for marketing. Sexton, a top agent for NFL players and coaches for 25 years, indicated it was one of the greatest career achievements for himself and his company, Memphis-based Athletic Resource Management, to represent Tebow. We think he will go very high in the first round, when it is all said and done, Sexton said. Many in the general public can't understand why the Heisman Trophy winner and three-time finalist may not be a top NFL pick, said ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay, who gets questions about it all the time.

It's hard to believe and hard to explain, said McShay, who tabs Tebow as a third-round pick. He has been the face of college football for the last 2 1/2 years. Meanwhile, there is talk in the industry that Tebow could be close to a deal to be the face on the cover of EA Sports' NCAA College 2011 video game, which will be out this summer. Sandy Sandoval, senior director of athlete relations for EA Sports, said, I cannot confirm or deny that.

RE: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: Walker helps UF win on road [Brockway]
I thought we played well, but were still undisciplined at times. This is a young team and hasn't learned how to play a full 40 minutes. I am concerned as the season goes on as to how fatigued they will be. I fear another February collapse. Having said that, this team is a lot more fun to watch than last year.

By Kevin Brockway mailto:broc...@gvillesun.com Gainesville SUN Staff writer Published: Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 11:23 p.m. Last Modified: Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 11:23 p.m. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - In a road game that Florida needed, sophomore guard Erving Walker and the rest of the Gators delivered. Three questions, three answers 1. Can the Florida starting backcourt of freshman Kenny Boynton and sophomore Erving Walker keep up their hot shooting in SEC play? Walker stayed hot, making 7-of-12 from the floor and 5-of-6 from 3-point range to put together a career-high 27-point performance. Boynton, on the other hand, was just 5-for-13 from the floor and 1-for-7 from 3-point range. But Walker provided enough production to lift the Gators to the road win. 2. How well can Florida limit the 3-point shooting of Arkansas sophomore guard Rotnei Clarke? Clarke was held in check early before heating up in the second half. He finished with 17 points on 5-of-9 shooting from 3-point range. But Florida did a decent job late in the game denying Clarke the basketball and forcing him into rushed shot attempts. 3. Can Florida get off to a good start on the road and take a tough visiting crowd at Bud Walton Arena out of the game? Florida shot just 28.6 percent in the first half but still held a 28-26 halftime lead. But in a hostile environment, Florida executed well late during a 9-0 run that extended its lead 64-56 with 2:53 left in the game. Walker scored a career-high 27 points and Florida was able to muscle its way to a 71-66 win over Arkansas before 14,173 at Bud Walton Arena. Walker had a terrific night, making 7-of-12 shots from the floor and 5-of-6 3-point attempts while dishing four assists with no turnovers. I've just been doing the same thing that I've been focusing on lately, just getting open looks and focusing on shots that work to my strength and not to my weakness, Walker said. Kenny Boynton added 13 points for Florida, and Alex Tyus posted his eighth career double-double with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Florida out-rebounded Arkansas 41-29 and scored 12 second-half points off 17 offensive rebounds. Our frontcourt struggled to score tonight but really did a good job getting us offensive rebounds, Florida coach Billy Donovan said. Said Tyus: We just wanted to come out active, flying around and go after the ball. Rotnei Clarke led four Arkansas players in double figures with 17 points. Freshman Marshawn Powell scored 14 points, center Michael Washington scored 11 points, and point guard Courtney Fortson had 14 points and 11 assists. Florida (13-5, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) evened its record in SEC play and will have a happy flight home Friday before facing South Carolina on Saturday at the O'Connell Center. It's huge for us, especially the way things started, Walker said. But we can't afford to let up because we know South Carolina is a good team. Florida led 67-58 when Walker hit his fifth 3-pointer of the game with 2:19 left. But Arkansas didn't go away. Fortson hit a 3-pointer to cut the Florida lead to 67-61. Then, after a Walker miss, Powell scored on an inside layup with 1:24 left that dwindled the Florida lead to 67-63. Tyus was then called for a travel with 46.3 seconds left and one second on the shot clock. But Powell missed a 3-point attempt, and UF forward Chandler Parsons grabbed the rebound and was fouled with 30.3 seconds remaining. Parsons made one of two free throws. After Fortson made one of two free throws at the other end, Walker made a pair of free throws with 19.3 seconds left to put the Gators ahead to stay, 70-64. Walker scored 15 points in the

RE: [gatortalk] Anybody hearing anything on why Tyler Murphy ?
I for one am thrilled with Burton, he wants to be a Gator (unlike some of our other committed/not-committed players) and is an incredible ball player. I think Murphy is being recruited as an athlete. The Tebow version of the spread offense has scared away the elite, traditional drop back passers. With Brantley at the helm the next two years, you will see a more prototypical QB and the elite prospects will once again line up.

RE: [gatortalk] ARGH!
Bad game all around. The refs were terrible, didn't cost us the game, but they were terribly inconsistent. The team wasn't ready for this game and that is unfortunate, this a win against Vandy and 2 in the tournament would've moved us up to a 7 seed in the tourney. Now we are probably looking at a 9 or 10. This is a bad loss, I don't care that Ugh plays well at home, we should have destroyed them, but had no heart. At this point, I am hoping to be the 4 seed in the SEC tourney, that way we won't be in UKs bracket until the championship game.

Chad Henne learned it last week, and now it's Deonte Thompson's turn: Don't say anything that could even be remotely construed as negative or a slight toward Tim Tebow. Media and fans will pounce.

Outside of knowing how to use the English language, I bet Bob Tebow knows that Mike Shanahan is the coach of the 'Skins.. Tebow's father told a Jacksonville television director this week that his son will be taken before the 16th pick. No clue where Bob came up with that number. Maybe he know something we don't. Perhaps. Or maybe he's just trying to put a little pressure on Jacksonville, which has the 10th overall pick. Either way, it's interesting that Bob Tebow would make such a statement. When asked if Jacksonville might trade down and take Tebow later in the first round, Bob Tebow said, He'll be gone. Somebody is going to take him. Tebow has worked out privately for several NFL teams, including the Washington Redskins. The Redskins have the fourth overall pick.

GAINESVILLE -- Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be in Palm Beach Gardens at 1 p.m. on Saturday signing autographs at The Gardens Mall. Should you make the drive north to see Timmy? Bring your pocket book if you're interested. Tebow is selling his signature for $160 a pop. Photos with Tim are $75. Tebow has been making the autograph circuit lately and making some pretty good cash doing it after signing a contract with an memorabilia company. Of course, Tebow hopes to become a millionaire on the first day of the NFL Draft. Will it happen? The pundits say no. Bob Tebow says yes.

It would be the draft shock of the last decade if new 'Skins vice president and coach Bill Shanahan took Tebow at four. Many think the idea of Tebow being drafted in the first round is preposterous. I'm not one of those people. He is worth the risk when you take into account his work ethic, leadership abilities and fan following. He's durable, he's a lightning rode of positive emotions, he makes the people around him better and the guy is already more marketable than most of the starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Oh, and did I mention he started three seasons for the University of Florida, graduated with honors, beat Sam Bradford head-to-head in the 2009 national championship game and was statistically one of the most efficient passers in college football. News flash: NFL teams like efficiency. If his father is correct, and Tebow will be gone after the 15th pick, here's where I think Tebow will be drafted. If Jacksonville doesn't take him with the 10th pick then Tebow will go to Seattle at 14. Go ahead, call me crazy, but Pete Carroll is starting over in Seattle and I'd be willing to bet he'd like to do it with Tebow. -jo- Read more: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/gator_clause/2010/03/is-tim-tebow-a-top-15-pi ck.html#ixzz0jNsYVynM -- 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 To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatornews+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words REMOVE ME as the subject. -- 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 To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatortalk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words REMOVE ME as the subject.

By Robbie Andreu mailto:andr...@gvillesun.com Gainesville SUN Staff writer Published: Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 11:19 a.m. Last Modified: Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 11:19 a.m. Tim Tebow started a college football tradition the past few years by writing Bible verses on his eye black for each game. But that tradition is over - and not just because Tebow has graduated from the University of Florida. On Thursday, the NCAA banned eye-black messages. During his UF career, Tebow had thousands of fans looking up the Bible verses during and after each Gator game. When he wrote John 3:16 on his eye black for the 2008 national championship game against Oklahoma, Google experienced about 94 million searches for the verse. The NCAA on Thursday also banned wedge blocks. Also, taunting in the field of play will start costing teams points in 2011. The NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved the three rules changes. One year after the NFL banned wedge blocking on kickoffs because of safety concerns, the NCAA followed the lead. The new rule says that when the team receiving a kickoff has more than two players standing within two yards of one another, shoulder to shoulder, it will be assessed a 15-yard penalty - even if there is no contact between the teams. The reason: NCAA studies have shown that 20 percent of all injuries occurring on kickoffs result in concussions. Everybody is looking to make sure we have a safe environment for the players, said Grant Teaff, executive director of the American Football Coaches Association. On kickoffs, you have a lot of steam on both sides and you usually have what is called a 'wedge buster.' This will eliminate some of that. The hope is it will reduce concussions, an issue that has received greater attention over the past year. The NCAA deemed it so important that it made a rare rules change in an off-year of the normal two-year process. But it's the taunting rule that will create the biggest buzz. Currently, players who are penalized for taunting on their way to the end zone draw a 15-yard penalty on the extra-point attempt, 2-point conversion attempt or the ensuing kickoff. Beginning in 2011, live-ball penalties will be assessed from the spot of the foul and eliminate the score. Examples include players finishing touchdown runs by high-stepping into the end zone or pointing the ball toward an opponent. Celebration penalties following a score will continue to be assessed on conversion attempts or the ensuing kickoff. I think one of the reasons it's been looked at is that when a penalty occurs on the field, it's normally taken from the spot, Teaff said. This was the only occurrence that it wasn't taken from the spot, so they wanted to change that. Taunting has caused an annual debate among college football players, coaches and fans, and last season's big controversy stemmed from Georgia receiver A.J. Green receiving a 15-year personal foul penalty after he caught a go-ahead touchdown pass late in a game against LSU. The yardage from the penalty was assessed on the kickoff and helped LSU get into position to drive for the winning score. Southeastern Conference officials said later that there was no video evidence to support the flag on Green. A third change bans the use of eye black containing symbols or messages, a trend that

Big difference, when Vince went to UNC you didn't expect him to be a one and done, that one hurt. This one is different. Knight will absolutely be a one and done and as such wanted assurances from his coach that he would be a starter and have x minutes of playing time. Billy D was never and will never promise any player minimum playing time much less a starting role. Meanwhile, Gillespie has made a career out of one and dones. Of course, he has taken 2 teams to the final four, but never to a national championship, that requires solid upperclass leadership which his teams never seem to have. Also, is it a coincidence that both programs he took to the final 4 had to vacate their tourney wins and final 4 after he left due to NCAA violations?

Skolnick Sports columnist FORT LAUDERDALE - Brandon Knight hardly needed a recommendation, let alone a glowing one, to earn admission into any college in America. A repeat Florida Mr. Basketball and Gatorade National Player of the Year? No need to waste time and trees. Son, just show up and start shooting. Yet this is what colleges got, if they cared to read it. They got an English Honors III teacher raving about Brandon's perfect articulation in reading Shakespeare, and describing the stillness of the room as his peers listened in rapt attention to his Macbeth soliloquy. They got an Advanced Placement statistics teacher recalling all the times he would stay for extra help, even it meant missing dinner before a game. They got his college counselor gushing, A finer Pine Crest student I cannot imagine. So that's what Kentucky is getting, along with arguably the greatest basketball player Broward County http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/broward/ has ever produced, someone with skills to match those of other point guards (Derrick Rose, Tyreke Evans, John Wall) John Calipari has recently coached. They're getting someone who has a 4.3 grade-point average, someone physics teacher Naeemah Owens would love to clone, someone who would ask for further explanation about the one question missed on a test, not because he wanted the points, but just so he could understand. They're getting one of the most special student-athletes this area has ever seen. Knight made his announcement Wednesday afternoon in the standing-room-only Stacy Auditorium. The clapping began at 3:58, then silence, then whispers, then a boy turning to his mother to tell her not to cough, then silence again, all as Efrem and Tonya Knight slid their chairs slightly forward on stage, and Brandon listened through an earpiece to questions coming from a studio in Bristol, Conn.

That was followed by 52 seconds of cheering, whistling and a we love you or two - from teammates, classmates, teachers, administrators, children and even a family that had flown down from Lexington, actually arranging a weeklong South Florida vacation around this sacred event. It was the obvious choice for him, said Mike Rankin, 35, wearing a Wildcats T-shirt. When he goes to Kentucky, he'll be a rock star. Instantly, Internet surfers started questioning the decision, wondering why such a strong student would play for a controversial coach who specializes in one-and-doners. That was my initial reaction, too. Why not go to, say, Duke? But Knight will get more out of one year of education, wherever, than most college students would get from four. As he told ESPNU, Your mind is going to last you a lot longer than your legs, so I feel I have to try to get my education so I can be ready for life after basketball. And if it's just one year, for now? His mother won't mind. You know what, everybody's goal in life is to live their dream, whether you want to be a lawyer, an NBA player or whatever, Tonya Knight said. If he has an opportunity to go the NBA, and that's his dream, why not live it? With the AP classes, he'll walk in with 20-something credits already. Get one year out of the way, maybe the summers, you know what, he can do the rest online.

This rule wouldn't have affected the '07 dawg pile. They did that after they scored and were penalized for 2 personal fouls. My understanding is this rule is only for taunting during live action (high stepping into the endzone, pointing at the player, etc.) once you cross into the endzone, live action stops and it becomes a dead ball penalty.

He will enroll at UF in January. (Photo by Chris Hays/Orlando Sentinel / February 14, 2010) By Chris Hays | Orlando Sentinel 12:29 a.m. EDT, April 20, 2010 Oviedo Hagerty QB Jeff Driskel http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/os-recruiting-jeff-driskel-photo-bio, 0,7862483.photo says he knew he wanted to be a Florida Gator. And even after sitting on it for a week, he still said he was sure enough to announce his decision to commit to the University of Florida on Monday. Driskel made a trip to Gainesville on Thursday to tell Florida coaches Urban Meyer, Scot Loeffler and Steve Addazio that he had made his decision. I told them what I was thinking, Driskel said, and then I went back home and kind of re-evaluated everything and talked to my parents and I knew I wanted to be a Gator, so I let it go public today. (Meyer) was just happy to have me and he wanted me to go back and work with my high school team get some more wins, Driskel added. He said he was happy to have me as part of the Gators. News started to circulate around the internet recruiting Web sites Monday afternoon that Driskel, the No. 12 quarterback in the nation for 2011 according to Scout.com, had picked Florida. Driskel, who also plays baseball at Hagerty and plans to play both sports at UF, sent a text after baseball practice Monday that read, Yea, I committed. Hagerty football coach Nate Gierke was happy to see Driskel comfortable with his decision and was assured by Driskel that he wouldn't be changing his mind. Yes that's confirmed, he actually did that last week but he wanted to make sure and Urban (Meyer) and the coaching staff up there wanted him to make sure that's what he wanted to do, Gierke said. So he talked to his parents and went over it with them and re-evaluated the situation and that's when he decided to go ahead and make it official. When he first told me about it today, he said, 'Yes, that's what I want to do. Why wait?' Driskel (6-4, 220), the No. 5-ranked player in the Sentinel's 2011 Central Florida Super60 and top Orlando-area QB, has pretty much been the only quarterback Hagerty fans have ever known. The fifth-year school has played varsity football only three seasons and Driskel has started as QB in 28 of the 30 games. The Huskies have won five games in those three seasons, but Gierke said people read too much into those numbers. We're such a young program here that it's really hard to evaluate someone on just the victories, Gierke said. But this is a big deal for us, pretty special. He's the first D-I prospect from the program and it couldn't happen to a better kid. He's a special player and I am certainly happy for him. Driskel threw for 1,427 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, completing exactly 50 percent of his passes (105-210). He also rushed for six TDs and his ability to run can be very deceiving for the big-framed quarterback. He's clocked a 4.5 40-yard dash and doesn't mind tucking the ball up the field if a play breaks down. For his career at Hagerty, Driskel has thrown for 3,021 passsing yards and 34 total touchdowns (21 passing, 13 rushing). I'm glad I got it over with, Driskel said. I'm really excited. It's one of the best programs in the nation if not the best. Even though it's early and National Signing Day is still 10 months away (Feb. 2, 2010), the constant recruiting process was beginning to wear on him. It was hectic, he said. There was a period there where I was talking to guys every night and offers were just pouring in. It was crazy and fun at the same time, but I'm happy to say it's over. Now he can focus on his senior season. Spring football across Florida starts May 1. It's going to be a little bit easier in spring practice now to be able to focus on my high

The Associated Press Published: Saturday, April 24, 2010 at 6:01 a.m. Last Modified: Friday, April 23, 2010 at 7:07 p.m. ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Tim Tebow looked out the foggy window as his weather-delayed flight dropped through the dark clouds and descended into Centennial Airport on Friday afternoon. He saw the snow-covered city, the wind-whipped pines and the snarled traffic and thought, there's just no better place he could have landed to begin his NFL career. The southpaw shotgun quarterback who helped Florida win two national titles said he's determined to repay coach Josh McDaniels for making him the surprise No. 25 pick of the Denver Broncos. I can't be more thankful for him deciding to take me, Tebow said at his introductory news conference Friday. That will be one of my biggest goals is proving him right and making him proud. McDaniels tutored three-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady in New England, helped Matt Cassel become an NFL starter and guided Kyle Orton to his best statistical season of his career in Denver last year. The work that he's done with the quarterbacks that he's been around, the influence that he's made on them in their careers has been amazing, Tebow said. I'm just blessed to play for him. I think he's one of the best coaches in the NFL. I firmly believe that. I'm drawn to him, too, because he's so passionate. I think that's going to bring out a lot of things about me and my character and my excitement for football and excitement for life, Tebow added. We were both talking about how we can't sleep we're so excited. In Tebow, McDaniels has a big project on his hands in maybe the most intriguing pro prospect since Michael Vick. This is the Heisman Trophy winner who some called the greatest college player ever. Now he is an NFL enigma, a big question mark because of his throwing motion and the offense he ran at Florida. Last week, McDaniels raved about the left-handed Tebow, who has developed a new passing motion that allows him to drop back with the ball at his shoulder instead of near his hip and release it quicker. Tebow said eliminating the loop or backswing in his motion only took a matter of weeks and now he's adjusting his footwork for the three-, five- and seven-stop drops he'll be making in the NFL. Some scouts think it could take two years for Tebow to make the transition from combination college quarterback to prototypical pocket passer. Others argue his success in college, his passion for football and his work ethic will make the transition smoother and shorter. A work in progress either way, Tebow is looking up at Orton and Brady Quinn on the quarterback depth chart while the smart money has him spending his rookie season running some wildcat plays while honing his game to play more in 2011. Well, I look at it as I am a prototypical quarterback, Tebow insisted. I like to do the things that a regular quarterback does, and then I'm blessed with athletic ability to do extra things. That's how I look at it. ... I'm going to be a regular quarterback, a pocket quarterback and I'm going to work and try to be great at that. That is my goal, I want to be a great pocket passer, and that's something I'm working on. Tebow said he's been proving critics wrong his whole athletic life, so he's not bothered by all the critics who questioned Denver taking him in the first round while more polished passers Colt McCoy and Jimmy Clausen were available. I love a challenge and I love when somebody tells me that I can't because it just pushes me that much more, Tebow said. Tebow said he's selected jersey No. 15, which became available when the Broncos traded Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall to Miami. The Broncos replaced Marshall by taking wide receiver Demaryius Thomas of Georgia Tech with the 22nd overall pick Thursday night. Thomas said he thinks he convinced the Broncos they should select him in part because I'm a good guy. Thomas said living with his uncle, James Brown, a preacher, after his mother and grandmother were incarcerated on drug charges when he was 12, is what set him on the right path. He said he spoke with his mother, Shirley Brown, on the phone Friday morning. They watched last night, Thomas said. She just said she

Many of us here on Gatornet had been affected either directly or indirectly by the layoffs, and I indicated that I was one of the casualties, having been laid off twice during 2008. Well, the first layoff for me occurred in March of last year and it was by Sprint, which I have said was the best job I ever had. I loved working for Sprint, loved my job, loved my teams, blah, blah, blah. Do you get the picture? Mushy, I know, but true. Anyway, being laid-off by Sprint affected me traumatically, and I never really recovered from it. Even though I was hired for a short time as a corporate controller, the economy forced them to outsource their financials for 25% of my salary and I was laid off again in October. All in all, 2008 was not a very good year for me or thousands of other people. I know I wasn't the only one going through it. I think I'm rambling, so let me try to get to my point. This past Thursday, after over a week of negotiations (no, I'm not a union guy - it just seemed to be the appropriate word to use), I received an offer from Sprint to resume my previous position beginning Monday and with a substantial raise. I am going from managing 17 sales teams to 26 sales teams, which will, of course, keep me pretty busy and on the road, but after spending the last 7 months at home, I WANT to be busy and I WANT to be on the road! To say I'm happy would be understating it. I'm actually quite giddy. I feel like a young Randy and the best looking girl at school just asked me to take her to the prom. It was TOTALLY unexpected and an incredible rush of validation. After months and months of doubting my own self-worth, I realize now that it wasn't me at all. I just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. That wrong place was on a list of what some economics expert determined was expendable positions. Many of us here have been together for over 15 years, so I consider you good friends even though we might actually only see each other once every 5-6 years. I just wanted to share my good news with you, and hopefully the moderator won't chastise me for this being non-gator related. :) Oh, did I mention I can't wait for Monday morning? It might be a VERY long time (if ever) that I dread Monday's again! :) Randy --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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 -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Included in that will be the branding of the syndication package as the SEC Network. http://www.gainesville.com/article/20090721/ARTICLES/907219940#%23 Click to enlarge The SEC and ESPN recently signed a 15-year contract, and coverage on the SEC Network will include football, men's and women's basketball. As ESPN moves forward in this landmark agreement with the SEC, ESPN Regional Television is thrilled to provide our viewers with a consistent window for Southeastern Conference football and basketball, said Pete Derzis, senior vice president general manager of ESPN Regional Television. With ESPN's multimedia platforms, we anticipate SEC sports will touch an unprecedented base of college fans nationwide. Beginning Sept. 5, the SEC Network, which will be carried on WOGX in Gainesville, will air 13 regular-season football games. The noon telecasts will have a different touch than previous deals with Jefferson Pilot and Lincoln Financial in that they will open with a live SEC studio show, which will be based out of Charlotte and hosted by Rob Stone and former Georgia offensive lineman Matt Stinchcomb. Kickoff will be at 12:21 p.m., and the games will be called by Dave Neal, 1989 Heisman Trophy winner Andre Ware and sideline reporter Cara Capuano. The regular-season SEC men's basketball package on the SEC Network beginning in January will consist of Wednesday and Saturday games, including doubleheaders. The SEC Network will also offer regional coverage of multiple rounds from the SEC Men's Basketball Tournament as well as SEC women's basketball games on Sundays, also beginning in January. The SEC Network, through the efforts of ESPN, will be the largest college sports syndication television package in the country, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said. The comprehensive market coverage in the nine-state SEC area combined with the out-of-market reach gives us significant additional exposure for our programs. In other television news, Sun Sports announced a new program called SEC Gridiron LIVE, a 60-minute studio show offering game previews, analysis and a social networking component that enables fan interaction. Premiering on Sept. 2 at 10 p.m., SEC Gridiron LIVE is hosted by broadcasting veteran Charles Davis, with analysts Randy Cross, a longtime NFL lineman; and former Georgia defensive end David Pollack, as well as social media reporter Cassidy Hubbarth. SEC Gridiron LIVE will be distributed to more than 24 million cable and satellite households on the FSN regional networks throughout the SEC territory. As a former SEC football player and a lifelong fan, I am thrilled for the opportunity to host SEC Gridiron LIVE, said Davis, a former Tennessee defensive back. SEC football fans are incredibly knowledgeable and opinionated, and our show gives them the chance to voice their views and opinions each week. That spirited interaction among fans and the on-air team is what will set SEC Gridiron LIVE apart and it's something that really excites me. I'm looking forward to working with Randy, David and Cassidy to make this show very special. Contact John Patton at 374-5074 or patt...@gvillesun.com.
