The Gators still growl
Nov 02, 2008 | 12:19PM | report this

Well, I haven't posted in almost a year, but today I have something to say.

Don't count out the Florida Gators! Each time we've won the National Championship we've had a loss, and this year is not different!!

I'm not saying they're going to be in the big one, but if they beat Alabama (big catch) they should be in a decent bowl with good competition.  And this year it is a whole team effort, not just Tim Tebow who's carrying the team.

If you haven't watched them, check out their special teams and a whole host of young running backs.

At any rate -- the Gators still growl--- and I still say "GO GATORS!!

Tim Tebow is the Real Deal (even if you're a Gator Hater)

For all of you doubters, Tim Tebow is the real deal.  He is a gentlemen and a Christian, and plays with all of his heart.  As for the rumors that his teamates consider him a ball hog--well that's plain hogwash.  He doesn't call most of the plays where he's used.

Now, I have my doubts regarding whether or not a sophomore should win the Heisman.  But with this young man and the fact that he throws himself into physical danger every week, injury is a real possibility at all times.

He won it on his accomplishments this year..and here's hoping that he stays healthy and we see him in the NFL--after he finishes four years at Florida of course!!

So hats off to Tebow for making it with a young team to support him.  He has the Gator nation's hearfelt thanks for making what he did part of this season.  Watch out world for UF next year!

Gators--Up the Creek without a Paddle???
Aug 07, 2007 | 7:44PM | report this

So now we start finally getting the lowdown on what's happening with the quarterback position. 

Well, you see there's this problem and we're only 4 weeks from the opening game.  Meyer flat out doesn't know what the final decision is going to be.  He's even thinking Tebow might not be the starter..

Newton (a real freshman) looked like he was the front runner to becoming part of a revolving quarterback position, because Waggener ( a junior college transfer) got injured. And then there's John Brantley (a real freshman prep All-America quarterback ) who we thought was going to be redshirted this year, is doing much better than expected, and Meyer thinks he won't be redshirted after all.

Meanwhile Newton has an injured back, Wagner missed all of Spring Practice and according to  offensive coordinator Dan Mullen--"it's all wide open"

Now as a Gator fan this bothers me.  Can we base a team on all these unproven guys?  I have my doubts.  We're not going to be firing on all cylinders until well into the season. 

I appreciate the fact that most of you are cheering and saying UF deserves it.  And it's true that Meyer won last year on Zook's recruits.

So my orange and blue faith is still intact, but it's taking a little extra push to get my brain thinking this is going to turn out well.

Florida Gators definitely NOT National Champs!!!!!

Okay all of you Florida Gator Haters here's a news flash for you.  You may not believe this so brace yourselves:

Hot off the press: 

 University of Florida's baseball team is not going to win a national championship.  In fact we didn't even reach the regionals.  We fired our coach And we are looking for a new coach. Are we whining? no. So those of you who think everything is going the Gator way can celebrate!

I'm really starting to think Pac 10 fans are paranoid!
May 11, 2007 | 12:25PM | report this

On posts on the fantasy boards to posts on blog sites, it appears that Pac 10 fans need to assert their superiority over those "poor chillin" in the Southeast.

Most SEC fans think the teams and coaches in the Pac 10 are good.  Why do we have to hear justification and ridicule from Pac 10 fans continually?

I think Southern Cal has the best shot at a national football title.  My friends and I can evaluate teams and coaches just as well as folks on the west coast. 

All of the conferences have pluses and minuses, everyone doesn't agree on what makes a good coach, but to consistently belittle one conference and its coaches seems a bit much. As in --Don't Y'all have something better to do?
