I remember Gator fans rushing the field twice, both away from home. The first time was in the Gator Bowl after the 1984 win over the dawgs - the goalposts came down that time. The next was in the win over the semis in Tally in 1986. They turned on the sprinklers to try and get the fans off of the field, but since much of the game was played in a downpour, that had little effect. I think Spurrier made the remark about maybe they should have let the fans on the field to celebrate after the 1997 32-29 win over then ranked #1 FSU.

C'mon, he's a football coach. He didn't review every play of the last three games and not notice anything of strategic significance. He just doesn't intend to share it with you through public media. He does admit we're not very good in any area, so he's not in denial. If he's not in denial, he's working on it, because as much as we love to win, he hates to lose even more. So have a second or third look at his track record, and expect to see improvement against the foul, stinky, nasty, smelly, mangy, evil jawja dawgs.

GAINESVILLE -- The first step toward correcting a problem is identifying it, and coach Urban Meyer believes he has done that with his offense. Meyer said he reviewed each of his team's drives from its three-game losing streak and found three main causes for the Gators' slump: a lack of big plays in the running game, poor passing efficiency and turnovers. UF hasn't had a touchdown run longer than 11 yards in the past five games, ranks 10th in the Southeastern Conference in pass efficiency and is tied for second-worst in the conference for turnovers (14). ``It's all on paper. It's all up on the board,'' Meyer said. ``Now we're addressing how to fix those issues.'' To right the wrongs, Meyer said he would make adjustments to scheme and personnel, changes he hopes start with getting players healthy.

RE: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Gatornews From The Gainesville SUN For10/23, Courtesy of Shane Ford
The university hired this company to do just what it is doing. They don't care about exclusivity. They only care about making money. If I have a can opener that I want to stick a gator head on I just call up this licensing company and they'll set me up. All I need to do is send them a portion of the money I make off my can openers. It's just like Elvis. Before the family started licensing Elvis stuff you could buy Elvis on velvet paintings everywhere. When they licensed him all that stopped. Now, the best you can get is the dogs playing cards on velvet. UF may not have considered all the flap that would arise over making high schools pay for their use of the gator logo, but that's licensing. You have to make everyone pay or no one has to. Eventually all this will die down and UF will get all the money.

I think it is interesting that the universities all complain about the agents on campus, yet they use the same company, IMG, that is the largest agent service around. Not to hijack the thread, but it would seem if IMG wants the commission off of licensing, the colleges and universities would have a heavy economic hand to swing in regards to the agent issues.

I was disappointed to read that we did NOT kick Cam off the team, and would have allowed him to remain a Gator representative (i.e., active player), and that it was Cam's choice to leave UF. Some traffic violations, public urination, and even a non-escalated scuffle at a downtown bar seem to me to be common enough among all students, that they can be accepted (corrected and atoned for while remaining on the team) when committed by a football player, but theft is clearly wrong and not a part of the college maturation process, and so shouldn't be acceptable among university representatives (football players) who get held, and should get held, to a higher standard. If we're saying that we wished he had NOT been involved with theft or accessory to theft, and that we'd love to have a Cam Newton with a clean record performing for UF today, then I'm sure we'd all agree. But I'm not a subscriber to the Bowdenesque I'm raising them as my own children school of college football coaching, and I wish there were more evidence that we have high moral standards for our current football players. I know there are many who don't agree with me, and as a parent I do believe in second and third and fourth chances, so I hope that sharing my contrary opinion on GatorTalk for friendly discussion and rebuttal isn't taken as offensive.

Do you really think UF doesn't want CLC to stomp on an elementary school? Would the contract not have been reviewed by UF attorneys? That's one of the reasons for hiring them. They can pass the blame on to them. Another reason for hiring them is they don't have to track down every little violator. CLC does it. They also go after the little t-shirt screen printer who prints up a few dozen shirts with a gator head and tries to sell them in their small community. The poor screen printer was just trying to make a buck. Trying to keep the wolf from the door. Where's the sympathy for him? It's the same thing. Why do you think some spokesperson for the university hasn't organized a press conference and exclaimed to the world that this kind of activity is overboard and we really didn't intend for the small elementary school to be hurt? Why not? Because this is exactly what CLC was contracted for. This isn't collateral damage. This is what licensing is all about.

Re: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Gatornews From The Gainesville SUN For10/23, Courtesy of Shane Ford
Licensing today is a vastly larger and more lucrative deal than it was decades ago. UF used to handle licensing in house, but it got so big that they outsourced it. Using a company like CLC increases revenue because vendors can go to one source to license a bunch of university logos. I agree with Oliver that the universities want and expect CLC to police who is using the logos with out a license. Here are the top institutions based on royalties for the year ended 6/30/10. Ohio State is not listed because they handle licensing in-house and apparently their numbers are not available to CLC. I wouldn't be surprised if UF drops a notch or two next year thanks to the football team's dismal performance this year and the fact that Florida is suffering more from the recession than most states. * * *Top-75 Universities* *(1.)* The University of Texas at Austin *(2.)* The University of Alabama * (3.)** University of Florida **(4.)* Louisiana State University *(5.)* The University of North Carolina *(6.)* University of Georgia *(7.)* The University of Michigan *(8.)* University of Kentucky *(9.)* The Pennsylvania State University *(10.)* The University of Oklahoma* (11.) *University of Notre Dame *(12.)* University of Tennessee* (13.)* West Virginia University *(14.)* University of Nebraska *(15.)* Auburn University *(16.)* University of Wisconsin *(17.)* The University of Kansas *(18.)* University of Missouri *(19.)* Florida State University *(20.)* University of Arkansas, Fayetteville* (21.)* Texas AM University* (22.)* University of Illinois *(23.) *University of South Carolina *(24.)* Texas Tech University *(25.)* Clemson University* (26.)* Oklahoma State University *(27.)* University of Miami*(28.) * Purdue University *(29.)* The University of Minnesota *(30.)* Duke University *(31.)* University of Louisville *(32.)* The University of Arizona *(33.)* University of California, Berkeley *(34.)* University of Washington *(35.)* University of California, Los Angeles *(36.)* University of Mississippi *(37.)* Syracuse University *(38.)* Oregon State University * (39.)* Kansas State University *(40.)* University of Maryland *(41.)*Georgia Institute of Technology * (42.)* Washington State University *(43.)* University of Virginia *(44.)*University of Cincinnati *(45.)* University of Pittsburgh *(46.)* Boise State University *(47.)*University of Colorado *(48.)* Stanford University *(49.)* University of Utah *(50.)* University of Connecticut http://www.clc.com/clcweb/publishing.nsf/Content/Rankings+Annual+2010 On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 4:05 PM, John Vega zebu...@gate.net wrote: On Oct 25, 2010, at 3:51 PM, Oliver Barry wrote: Why do you think some spokesperson for the university hasn’t organized a press conference and exclaimed to the world that this kind of activity is overboard and we really didn’t intend for the small elementary school to be hurt?

[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] Re: [gatornews] Gatornews from the Palm Beach Post and Miami Herald courtesy of Junogator
Does it always rain in Tally when we play there? There were torrential rains during the 1984 game there, too. I was there, had been sick for a week but refused to stay home and miss that game. We got SOAKED, and the old Doak Campbell stadium was a freakin' mud puddle when it rained. That was gross. I remember watching as the rain rushed down the stairs of the bleachers like there was a creek there. The cheerleaders were muddy and finally just gave up and started running and sliding in the med. They were right in front of us. We came from behind to win that game and, despite still being sick and ultimately getting sicker, it remains one of the best games I've ever attended. We were sitting amongst Gators but there were some obnoxious Semis near us who were VERY loud as long as they were ahead. When we came from behind to beat them, they were extremely quiet. My sister had just married a Semi the Saturday before that, and I think he was wishing he had found another family to join. LOL.

I agree, Gene. If I'm gonna start wishing anything about Cam Newton, it would be that he hadn't gotten into trouble in the first place. I do want our program to hold players to a higher standard.

I was disappointed to read that we did NOT kick Cam off the team, and would have allowed him to remain a Gator representative (i.e., active player), and that it was Cam's choice to leave UF. Some traffic violations, public urination, and even a non-escalated scuffle at a downtown bar seem to me to be common enough among all students, that they can be accepted (corrected and atoned for while remaining on the team) when committed by a football player, but theft is clearly wrong and not a part of the college maturation process, and so shouldn't be acceptable among university representatives (football players) who get held, and should get held, to a higher standard. If we're saying that we wished he had NOT been involved with theft or accessory to theft, and that we'd love to have a Cam Newton with a clean record performing for UF today, then I'm sure we'd all agree. But I'm not a subscriber to the Bowdenesque I'm raising them as my own children school of college football coaching, and I wish there were more evidence that we have high moral standards for our current football players. I know there are many who don't agree with me, and as a parent I do believe in second and third and fourth chances, so I hope that sharing my contrary opinion on GatorTalk for friendly discussion and rebuttal isn't taken as offensive.

To be consistent, the home team. It rotates. Which brings up an interesting dichotomy: if both sides rushed the field every year, who benefits? A.

The conference policy went into place in 2004 and start with a $5,000 fine for the first offense. The second is a maximum of $25,000 and the third is up to $50,000. If a school is penalized and goes three years without another infraction, the next violation is considered a second offense. This is the fourth such penalty for Kentucky in football. The school had one in 2006 and two in 2007. To the best of my knowledge this has not happened in Florida over the past two decades.

[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Auburn BCS #1
I hope we play them in the SEC Championship game. And, I predicted it. Meanwhile, off to Jacksonville and, then, Nashville. A. Leon Polhill, Gator I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did. I said I didn't know. - Mark Twain From: John Bowers jbowe...@cfl.rr.com To: gatorn...@googlegroups.com Sent: Sun, October 24, 2010 8:55:40 PM Subject: [gatornews] Auburn BCS #1 Auburn is the right one By Mark Schlabach ESPN.com I think the BCS got it right this time. After ranking Oklahoma No. 1 in the initial BCS standings a week ago, the BCS formula spit out Auburn as the No. 1 team on Sunday, after the Sooners lost at Missouri 36-27 on Saturday night. I know Oregon's high-scoring offense and fast athletes leave you shaking your head with amazement each and every week, but Auburn has accomplished more than any other team heading into the final month of the college football season. The Tigers are 8-0 after Saturday's 24-17 victory over LSU, and they've already beaten four teams ranked in the Top 25 of the BCS standings: No. 12 LSU, No. 19 Arkansas, No. 20 South Carolina and No. 21 Mississippi State. That resume is why the Tigers have the best computer average of any team in the country. With games left against Ole Miss, FCS foe Chattanooga, Georgia and No. 7 Alabama and possibly the SEC championship game in the Georgia Dome, it's hard to imagine the Tigers being left out of the Jan. 10 BCS National Championship Game if they finish 13-0. The No. 2 Ducks are undoubtedly one of the most entertaining teams to watch, with their point-a-minute offense and frenetic pace. But Oregon has defeated only one team ranked in the Top 25 of the BCS standings (No. 13 Stanford). The Ducks are still getting hammered in the computer rankings for their soft schedule with an average computer rating of eighth. With games left against Southern California and No. 15 Arizona, the Ducks will have a couple of opportunities to impress voters and computers. A couple of other thoughts on the BCS standings: • Fans of defending BCS national champion Alabama better start rooting for No. 5 Michigan State and No. 6 Missouri to lose. The Crimson Tide are No. 7 in the BCS standings -- they're the highest-rated team with one loss -- but it's hard to imagine Alabama finishing ahead of the Spartans and Tigers, if either one of those teams finish the regular season with unblemished records. • Not sure what kind of virus Richard Billingsley's computer has, but he might want to disinfect it. Billingsley's top five goes like this: TCU, Auburn, Alabama, Boise State and LSU. He has Florida at No. 21 and Texas at No. 22. • Auburn is No. 1 in three of the computer rankings (Anderson Hester, Colley Matrix and Wolfe), TCU was No. 1 in one (Billingsley) and Missouri was No. 1 in two (Massey and Sagarin).

My kids were all honor students and they never got into any kind of trouble, but I am not sure they would have had the good judgement at that age to assume the laptop was stolen.

I was disappointed to read that we did NOT kick Cam off the team, and would have allowed him to remain a Gator representative (i.e., active player), and that it was Cam's choice to leave UF. Some traffic violations, public urination, and even a non-escalated scuffle at a downtown bar seem to me to be common enough among all students, that they can be accepted (corrected and atoned for while remaining on the team) when committed by a football player, but theft is clearly wrong and not a part of the college maturation process, and so shouldn't be acceptable among university representatives (football players) who get held, and should get held, to a higher standard. If we're saying that we wished he had NOT been involved with theft or accessory to theft, and that we'd love to have a Cam Newton with a clean record performing for UF today, then I'm sure we'd all agree. But I'm not a subscriber to the Bowdenesque I'm raising them as my own children school of college football coaching, and I wish there were more evidence that we have high moral standards for our current football players. I know there are many who don't agree with me, and as a parent I do believe in second and third and fourth chances, so I hope that sharing my contrary opinion on GatorTalk for friendly discussion and rebuttal isn't taken as offensive.

I still don't really understand why the Gators and Cam couldn't have worked things out. As has been said here previously, he's probably a better player because he had last year to actually play instead of warming a bench. However, it's hard to have regrets when you watch him play today. -- Helen Huntley (727) 823-3801www.helenhuntley.com -- 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 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
