LOL. Dang, Oliver, you must be old if you remember that. I, of course, only saw the movie in really, really old reruns. ;-)

Cool, you son, Shane, has some one he's named after that's cool. I was named after Alan Ladd's character back in the early 1970's when it wasn't so cool. :-) Shane GO GATORS!!!! -------------- Original message from Steve McKibben <[email protected]>: -------------- My take is that Meyer is basically saying that as a former player you can either be an "objective journalist" (and my personal feelings are that Shane might have crossed that line a time or two with some of his criticisms and made it personal) or someone who is a Gator "cheerleader". I think it makes sense that the ones you want to have on the sidelines, in the locker room, etc., are the latter. I love Shane - I even named my firstborn after him. But not all of his comments appeared in that article. And even some of his criticisms that were valid weren't exactly presented in a way that put our coaching staff in a very good light. If I talked about someone in public the way he did about Meyer and staff I wouldn't expect to be welcomed into their home.

They seem well thought out and, for the most part, accurate. Where I think that Shane is mistaken is that he seems to have a bit of Volshiemers about the Spurrier era. The Gators didn't step on every team - just like last year, we always seemed to let a team hang around (or beat us) that objectively should not have done so. Mississippi State on Thursday night, anyone? I also think that the hiring of Loeffler is a tacit admission that some of Shane's points are correct. Stange that the criticism of Shane should come right after a Spring season where the impact of Loeffler on our QBs has been one of the noteworthy developments (see Andreu's article). As good we are and will be, there is always room for improvement. UMIII knows that. So, why does it rankle him to hear it from someone else? -Zeb</TABLE --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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 -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
