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.
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?
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!!!.
