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.
I don't understand the wave of posts and articles (there's even one on Fox Sports) specifically saying they hate Noah and then the Gators because of him.
He's a different personality, no doubt about it. But he's really into the game and his antics are genuine and not meant to entertain, but to motivate him and his team mates. Ok, he looks a little different too, but #### remarks certainly aren't called for! And constant comments about the pony tail--what are we back in the 50's when everyone had to come out looking like a cookie cutter duplicate.
Why don't writers concentrate on the game the Gators play, their unselfishness and ability to work together? Sorry, they are the defending champions, no real need to pick on them for that either! I'm a little fed up with the whining.
I'm a die-hard University of Florida GATOR fan, proud supporter of two national championships in 2007 and one in 2006. Yes I do teach History. Some of you are saying B0000RING, but I find it fun and so do my students.
I also support the Oklahoma Sooners especially when they're doing well. . I'm a huge fan of NCAA sports, somehow it loses its flavor when they get paid.
I have no children, except the hundreds I teach. I'm old as the hills, so don't bother to hit on me--as if anyone would!!!.
