Reverend Ike has died.  
How is this Gator related you ask?
I used to listen to him on the way home from Gainesville to Jacksonville in
the 70s.  It was all I could find at 9 at night most times.
He was pretty exciting.  Preached that wealth was a part of being Christian.
I just heard it last night on NPR.  Just a memory of my time at UF.  :-)

 Cheryl,
 I am glad you joined.  I told you these Gators are very helpful 
 and we do extend all over the world.  I think I remember someone in 
 Antarctica. How wonderful it is to be anywhere in the world and get 
 all this Gator information.
Anyway, I live in Daytona Beach but have a cabin about 4 miles 
 south of Melrose and 6 miles northeast of Hawthorne, which is 20 miles east 
 of Mecca.
  Funny thing, when the 2000 census person was asking me what my 
 address was at the cabin, it quickly went through my mind that the 
 mapmakers
 (cartographers) have to get their information from somewhere; so I 
 told her that I lived on Lasseter Lane in Hawthorne, Fl.
   Sure enough, if you “Google† or “Yahoo† and search 
 “Lasseter Lane, Hawthorne, Fl†, it labels the road “Lasseter 
 Ln†, which is not a public road. Now, the last laugh might be on me 
 someday when the County decides that it is a public road, since it is 
 clearly on all maps, even the hardcopy ones.
 Go Gators,
 Fran

Tebow, Florida deserve all the attention

While a lot of the college football attention in Alabama will be on the
Crimson Tide reporting for fall camp Wednesday, a little south of here the
talk will be on the defending national champion Florida Gators.

You may be sitting thinking, Ah, not again. What is it with the love fest
with the Gators?

Well, that's what happens when you win the national championship two out of
three years, and head into the subsequent season as the clear favorite.
Florida deserves the attention, and not just because Urban Meyer just inked
a massive contract extension or the defense is returning everyone. 

Thank back to Media Days, when more questions were asked about quarterback
Tim Tebow than all other players combined. Yet while every media outlet
reported the virginity question, almost no one took notice of Mississippi
State coach Dan Mullen's response to being asked about opposing his former
pupil on Oct. 24. 

You know what, it's going to be a real neat experience. When you spend
three years of your life, when you spend more time with Tim Tebow than you
do with your own wife, which I did, you get that close relationship. You
know that's something that's not going to change. You know what, it's going
to be a unique part of our relationship this year, where we get to go
against each other. You know what, then it will probably be a growing
experience for that in the future. 

I don't see my relationship, my respect, my love for Tim Tebow to change
because he's on the other sideline, or 10 years down the road. He's such an
extraordinary young man.

So many people simply think Tebow can't be this good, or is too good to be
true. Go back to the SEC Championship Game when he beat Alabama. Then did
the same thing against Oklahoma. 

There's a reason no one dared say a bad word about Tebow at Media Days.
Well, that and they all have to face him one more time.

Kentucky's Rich Brooks: The one thing that probably Florida has done better
than anybody, because of Tim Tebow, is they have thrown it as well as the
best teams that use the spread, as well as anybody in the country. But they
run it a lot better because of Tim Tebow's threat as a runner. Not just the
running backs, the receiver coming in and taking it, but Tim Tebow's
presence as a runner and a thrower make that offense even a more difficult
thing to defend.

Alabama's Nick Saban: I think he's one of the most outstanding leaders I've
ever seen in my coaching career. Certainly played fantastic game against us
in the SEC championship game last year. I think he might be one of the most
outstanding players in our league. 

Ole Miss' Houston Nutt: The thing I love about Tim Tebow, a lot of players
will say, you know what, after a loss, a big loss, they'll say, I'm going to
work as hard as I can, I'm going to do this, make all these promises. What
you love about Tim Tebow, not only does he make the promise, he carries it
out, and he puts his team on his back. Percy Harvin, I remember there were a
couple weeks he wasn't on the field. I have those words, after our game, the
words he spoke to the media, I have that on my desk. I read it to my team
once. It was awesome. I have an awesome respect for that.

Perhaps teammate Ryan Stamper, who was a last-minute replacement that day
and almost completely overlooked, put it best: There is no man like Tim
Tebow. With everything he goes through, I do not know how he handles all the
pressure and media attention. Tim is a great teammate. He really cares about
everyone and makes sure everyone stays on top of everything. He is our
leader and we all look up to him.

Already people are forgetting about South Carolina's Steve Spurrier not
voting for Tebow for All-SEC, and subsequent apology, which were both blown
way out of proportion. Consider what he also said: Tim Tebow is not only
the best quarterback in this league, I think he's the best in the country. I
think he's the best football player in the country. What he's done there, I
believe he and Danny Wuerffel will go down in history as the two best

The simple solution to this is non-violent civil protest.  All of those

[gatortalk] Re: Sagarin's preseason footbal rankings are out :-)

[Ken Kirkley]

This suprises me somewhat.  No objective observer is even talking about USC
in the top spot.  They are starting a new QB, clearly a year ahead of what
Carroll wanted.  They lost 8 of their defensive starters to the NFL, and
they're supposed to be better this year?
 
While USC has good depth, they do have a few tough games this year.  There
is simply no explanation to put them at #1.  I predict USC will lose at OSU,
Cal and Oregon and will have a tough game against UCLA.

[gatortalk] Re: Sagarin's preseason footbal rankings are out :-)

[Ken Kirkley]

That's what everyone thought last year until they played Iowa.  The Pac 10
will be more competitive this year due to the fact that USC is rebuilding,
but also because Cal, UCLA and Oregon will all be better.  The Big Televen
will still be weak, but there are some tough outs in that league too.
Illinois can beat anyone, Michigan is a year away but has the ability to
rise up and bite you, Wisconsin always plays tough, and this year Minnesota
will be playing in a new on-campus outdoor stadium, so that might make for
some interesting late season games.
 
I don't think anyone has an easy path to an undefeated season, if they make
it, more power to them.

[gatortalk] Re: is our offense too complex?

[Ken Kirkley]

I think at UF it is not just knowing your route and the formation, it is
knowing all the other WR's role too.  That in addition to being an
unbelievable downfield blocker is a requirement to be game ready' for an
Urban Meyer team.  So we will see Hammonds play, but he might miss a block
that otherwise would have sprung the ball carrier for a big gain.  That is
what scares me about the line this week.  1st team can put up 42 in the 1st
half, 2nd team can put up 21 in the 3rd quarter, but can we score anymore as
we get further down the depth chart?

If you have  Julio Jones, who is not only a freak of nature, but heads and
shoulders above any of his teammates as a playmaker you tell him to run a
crossing route, or fly pattern, or down and out, and you look for him.
Everyone knows that the ball will be going to him, but knowing it and
stopping it are often two different things. How many TDs did he score
against the Gators in the SECCG?

Heck, in Percy's freshman season he was brought along much the same way, but
as his knowledge of the offense evolved, so did his role in it.

If you want a fully functional offense where the DBs have no idea if the guy
they're lining up across is a primary target, secondary target, decoy, or
blocker, then it helps for the offensive player to know the playbook.

But how do other teams get young guys - like Julio Jones of Alabama -

Seems like it takes us a couple of years before our guys know the playbook.

I think you are underestimating the defenses in the USC/NCS game.
 
As far as Miamuh and SOW, they have some premier playmakers, but not as many
as they used to, especially on the defensive side of the ball.  I wish we
could play either of those teams now, because they are truly terrible on
defense.
 
Time will tell, we will see how SOW does at BYU and the ewe's next 3
opponents aren't pushovers.

Florida Gators set to silence Tennessee and coach Lane Kiffin

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - We didn't need to hear anyone call Lane Kiffin a bozo or
a clown or out of his league Saturday afternoon.

All we need to remember about the enormity of the UF-Tennessee game next
weekend is a little quote the Tennessee coach said after he was hired. You
remember the one:

I'm really looking forward to embracing some of the great traditions at the
University of Tennessee, for instance the Vol Walk, running through the T,
singing Rocky Top all night long after we beat Florida next year. It will be
a blast.

The Gators blew it up and posted it in their football complex in the spring,
though it is no longer up now. So there is no need to buy all the
politically correct statements coming out of The Swamp after the Gators'
56-6 win over Troy.

UF-Tennessee is always a big game. But this is sure to be one of the most
anticipated games at The Swamp in recent memory. Surely, it's the most
anticipated in the rivalry since 2001, when No. 5 Tennessee beat No. 2 UF in
a game postponed until December because of 9-11, denying the Gators a shot
at the national title.

Now, the Gators would love nothing more than to shut Kiffin up. The Gators
have won four straight in this rivalry. And let's be honest, the game was
starting to become a dud, what with Tennessee falling from the top tier of
the SEC East as the Gators made their ascent back.

Along comes Kiffin to inject the right spark at the right time. Not only did
he make those inflammatory remarks, he then accused Meyer of cheating during
the recruitment of Nu'Keese Richardson, who switched his commitment from UF
to Tennessee at the last possible moment.

A brouhaha erupted. Kiffin had to apologize for the false accusations, but
he repeatedly has said he is not sorry for poking the bear.

In fact, he was downright tickled when he heard the Gators had put his words
up in their football complex. He actually said, Beautiful. Awesome.
Wonderful. They even put our logo on it. Free advertising and we didn't have
to pay for it.

Gator fans have wanted a merciless beat down ever since Kiffin started
fanning the flames. A company started printing T-shirts in April that read,
Memo to Lane Kiffin. Be scared. Very scared. The beat down is near!

Message boards have been filled with fans urging Meyer to run up the score,
to make Kiffin pay in the only real way he can. They want a record-setting
trouncing. Tennessee struggled and lost against UCLA on Saturday, so it
could happen. The largest margin of victory the Gators have posted over
Tennessee is 39, in 2007. They scored 62 in a win in 1995.

Fans want blood. Guarantee the Gators do, too, even if nobody will say it.
Jeff Demps and David Nelson both gave tepid no-comments when asked whether
there would be extra motivation for the game this week.

Meyer addressed the start of Rivalry Week in the locker room after the
game, where players emphatically said the season begins now. Meyer said
practice Tuesday would be the hardest practice we'll ever have.

In the spring, Meyer did acknowledge that Kiffin's comments were enough to
fire him up. But now that game-time is near, he refused to pull a Kiffin and
start talking trash.

I want to make sure this game is about the Tennessee football players
versus the Florida football players, Meyer said. The thing that will never
happen around here is it's about coach or coaches. I told them this is
preparation for playing a game. Period.

Linebacker Ryan Stamper admitted he was already thinking about Tennessee,
but said nothing more of the game.

Tim Tebow was asked how long it took for Meyer to address Tennessee in the
locker room. It took a little bit, he said with a sly grin, ducking out
before he could be questioned any further.

Nothing more needed to be said, really. Come next Saturday, the final score
will be enough.

[gatortalk] Re: tenn - florida

[Ken Kirkley]

Keith,
 
This message is possibly inappropriate.
 
There is no mention of how far back your archives go, no mention of vomit,
no archane song lyrics or references to former list members.  We waited all
summer to be able to enjoy this list and you come along and start talking
about football?  What has gotten into you?
 
Seriously, thank you for talking about the game we have all been eagerly
anticipating.
 
I think this will be a closer game than most, but we will still win
comfortably.  Last year we had a punt return for a TD and 2 fumble
recoveries in the first half that helped stake us to a 20-0 lead.  UT didn't
really mount a drive until late in the 3rd quarter when we were up
comfortably 27-0.
 
If we can get the turnovers we can win by the big scores everyone is
predicting.  If not, the game could be close in the 2nd half.  Last year
Tebow had one of his worst games 8-15 for 96 yards and the team only rushed
for 147 yards, so the UT defense held us in check fairly well.
 
The differences this year are:
- Lame pissed us off, so it is not just beat a rival, but anihilate them.
- Gators didn't really start clicking on offense until the second half of
the Arky game, so UT hasn't really seen the new Gators
- The UT O-line is decimated and not very good.  The tackles are big and can
open holes for the run game, but I expect Dunlap and Cunningham to run
around them on passing downs.
- The UT center is a replacement for their injured starter and is undersized
at 280lbs lining up against 6-4 304lb Lawrence Marsh.
 
I expect UT to try and run the ball all day to shorten up the game.  What I
would like to see us do is go to the banzai from play one and not let up.
Keep a healthy rotation of linemen and UT will be in total meltdown in the
3rd quarter.
 
There is no reason we should lose this game, except for over confidence.  UT
has nothing to lose, everyone expects a beatdown, so they can come in and
play loose and carefree.  UF is supposed to be providing payback for Lame's
mouth, so anything less than 35 point margin will not be satisfying.  I will
be happy with a win.

Last year we beat Tenn at Tenn 30 to 6
Year before we beat Tenn 59 - 20 at home
Last year we beat Georgia 49-10
 
Last year Tenn had an awesome defense (one of the best in the country) and
we scored 30 points on them.  I expect the Tenn defense to be as good as
last year.  
 
I expect the Tenn defense to wear down because their offense is so impotent.

 
Now we get them at home.  
 
Whereas we have a strong offense and rotate defensive players throughout the
game - our defense is usually as good at the end of the game - as they are
at the start.  
 
Last year Georgia was our amped up game.  This year it is Tenn.  
 
Last year's Georgia offense was far superior to this year's Tenn offense.
Georgia's defense last year not as good as Tenn's - but not far behind.  
 
Brandon James is pumped to return another kick (without a penalty).  
 
Look for our defense to hold Tenn to 2 field goals (6 points) while our
offense is tested but still scores 42.

For the time being, I will let them bark about having the all-time record,

My ultimate goal as a Gator fan is to be ahead of all the schools we play,
in wins over the years, and then dominate them.  Is that too much to ask?
My brother says that all he ever wanted was respect from the other teams and
the sportswriters in the nation; well, he's got that.  Now the other teams
hate and fear us, which is even better.  It is a great time to be a Gator,
especially since I remember losing to Rice, Houston, Richmond (maybe a tie)
and those lesser teams in the 1950s up until the 1990s, and having the Dawgs
beat us like a drum.  Life is GOOD! 

BTW, how close are we to evening up the score with LSU, Alabama and the
others?

[gatortalk] Re: Would you play Tebow at LSU or make him rest?

[Ken Kirkley]

The key is there are 25 diagnostic symptoms they are looking for, not just
how are you feeling.  The medical professionals have been around Tim enough
to know if he is his normal self, regardless (or is that irregardless?) of
his answers.  That combined with observational data on other symptoms will
lead a go, no-go decision.
 
I think some of what Dr. Cantu said about distinguishing the symptoms of a
concussion from the flu (or upper respitory ailment) are the key.  Tim was
hit square in the chest, which could have knocked the breath out of him,
couple that with getting hit on the back of the head and a mild concussion
might appear to be more severe.  Only time will tell, but I would bet on Tim
playing at LSU.
 
Two things that bother me about this whole situation, one being Ben Volin of
the Miami Herald who is reporting all kinds of supposition as fact. He has
stated several times that Tebow was out for over 2 minutes, this has not
been confirmed by anyone.  He also has reported that Tebow answered every
question on the sideline I don't remember, I have watch the TV broadcast
several times and while I am not an expert lip reader, I don't see him
saying that at all.
 
The other thing is this whole debate over whether he should have been in the
game. If he doesn't get injured are we talking about this at all?  And who
has the margin of lead vs. time left in game chart to show where it is safe
to take out your star player?  Why is no one harping on Mack Brown at Texas
for leaving Colt McCoy in the 3rd quarter with a 50-7 lead?  Simple, because
he didn't get hurt.
 
The play Tebow got hurt on isn't inherently dangerous to the QB, the QB just
needs to make a quick read.  He either throws the quick slant or rolls right
for a run.  Tim held the ball too long on the slant and that allowed him to

have happened in the first quarter of the Troy game or the 3rd quarter of

Problem is - I am not a medical doctor.  
 
I would be very conservative.  If it means we lose games - but Tebow
recovers more fully - I have no problem with that.  Tebow is too special of
a person to rush back into football and risk problems later on.  
 
What I would do is to get at least two or three expert doctors opinions.
And probably go with the most conservative opinion.  
 
Have his family involved in the decision.
 
I guess my point is - take the decision away from Tim himself.  I am afraid
Tim would rush things.  
 
If you consult 3 doctors that are experts on sports concussions and they all
three agree that Tim can play at LSU - and Tim wants to - then I'd let him
play.  But if one doctor out of the three suggests holding him out - I would
probably hold him out.

So what do you suggest?

Not trying to give you a hard time, but how do you think it should be
handled?

If you don't believe him when he says he's OK and he always says that, do
you just retire his jersey right now?

Do you make him answer all questions with his hand on a bible?

Do you ask the medical staff what their opinion is?

Or is there some other way that hasn't occurred to me yet?

A lot of times they make you stay in a dark room and rest as much as you

There has to be a Bull Gator somewhere willing to pony up the bucks for
this.  
 
I can see it now, you win the package, buy some garish looking tigger
garment to wear.  Go through the whole deal, pregame warmups, talk to the
coach with the giant hat, then get ready to run out the tunnel with the
team.  As you begin the run, on primetime national TV, you rip off the
offending purple and yellow clothing in hulk like fashion to proudly display
bright orange Gator gear!
 
That would be classic, has to be worth $15k or $20k, right?  I don't have
that kind of cash handy right now, but will gladly make the run...

LSU offers unique way to watch Florida game



The Associated Press

Published: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 6:19 p.m. 
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 6, 2009 at 6:19 p.m. 

 

BATON ROUGE, La. - There's no chance of getting a ticket to the Florida-LSU
game on Saturday, unless you want to pay a scalper.

Reportedly, tickets being sold now for the matchup of No. 1 Florida and No.
4 LSU are going for as much as $2,200. Tickets for SEC games normally sell
for $50, a woman who answered the phone in LSU's ticket office said Tuesday.

It's arguably the biggest home game for LSU in half a century, said LSU
sports information director Michael Bonnette. And there are no tickets
around. I turned my phone off so I wouldn't have to keep telling people I
didn't have any.

But LSU has a deal for anyone willing to cough up big bucks for the game.

The school is auctioning off a chance for the winning bidder and a guest to
not only see the game, but take part in some of the team traditions like the
walk down Victory Hill and running out of the chute onto the field.

They will also get to watch the pre-game warmups with head football coach
Les Miles on the sidelines and watch the game from the press box with LSU
athletic director Joe Alleva.

We thought it would be something people would be interested in, Bonnette
said.

The opening bid came in less than an hour after the auction was posted,
Bonnette said. It was for $12,000.

LSU beat Florida in Tiger Stadium 28-24 in 2007. In 1997 when the Tigers
were ranked No. 14 and Florida was No. 1, LSU won at home 28-21.

The auction runs until 3 p.m. CDT on Thursday.

[gatortalk] Monday morning procrastination

[Ken Kirkley]

- Great weekend of football, don't know yet, but I think I went 1-11 in
pick'em.  Getting closer to Oliver's point of view that it is a stupid
game...
 
- Great win by the Gators, all the focus was on Tebow, but really this was a
defensive win.  
 
- Me thinks that the coaching staff was a little too conservative.  I wonder
if we were 4th or 5th in the polls, would we be exerting our dominance on
teams this way?
 
- While I've been called a mother before, I definitely had a different point
of view on Tebow getting hit.  When the first hit came, I thought great, now
he has that out the way and can start playing like Timmy!
 
- I like Danielson, think he does a great job.  Yes he has his talking
points, but he is still better than the rest.  Who else would you want doing
our game? (and Mic Hubert isn't allowed)
 
- Greg Doyle is a tool.
 
- Why can't we see Moody get more touches?  I thought this was the perfect
game for that to happen, but on 3rd and short he is on the side...
 
- Anyone think Less Miles is claiming a moral victory for staying within 10
of the Gators?  That is what separates the true contenders from the
pretenders.
 
- While I appreciate our ability to run the ball at will, we need to make
the downfield passing game work.  We had receivers open, but kept throwing
the short passes for the most part.
 
- Love the 'slingshot' move our receivers use to get open, but they will get
called on that soon.
 
- Les Miles won over the refs with his rants.  The Center is allowed to move
his head as long as he isn't simulating the snap.  The refs allowed Pouncey
to snap his head to the left for the entire first half and then called the
penalty on the second play of the second half (while letting another
defensive encroachment penalty slide on the 1st down).  The refs were cowed
by Less.  And regardless what the announcers said, this didn't slow our
O-line down because Pouncey simply changed his head movement to up and down
instead of sideways.
 
- Don't like the stomping of the logo at all.  We have derided SOW and Scum
for years for these antics, let us not do that.  I get that we gather at
midfield and the jumping is not so much a taunt but youthful exuberance, but
we should gather in front of our fans or at the 30.  It just looks bad to do
it at fifty.
 
- Red zone play calling is atrocious.  I know we shouldn't criticize after a
win, yes we have a top 10 offense, blah, blah, blah.  When we get to the red
zone, we shut it down, it is almost like watching an NFL game.  I don't know
offhand what our red zone percentage is this year versus last, but I bet it
is a lot lower in terms of TDs scored.  Yes, we are missing Harvin (or is it
Harvey) and Murphy, but they weren't our primary red zone targets.
 
- Does anyone else feel that Tebow is throwing worse this year than he ever
has?  His delivery hasn't changed and that is fine, it is what it is.  While
every now and then he throws a nice tight spiral, it seems that many of the
balls he throws, especially the deep throws come out wobbling.  Could he
still have shoulder issues?
 
- Feels great to be 5-0.  Ugaly lost and that is always good.  If Kitten had
to win an SEC game, no better way than to blow out Ugaly!  This basically
gives us a two game cushion for the SECE with 5 to go.  Not a bad position
to be in.
 
- Homecoming will be a great game.  We will need some offense in this one as
the Arky offense is for real.  I don't think they will be able to score at
will, but wouldn't be suprised to see them put up 16-20 points.  My early
prediction UF 31 Arky 13.

again!

Demps is getting the ball more because he's averaging 7 yards a carry.
Moody is averaging 3 or 4.  

We're playing a conservative offense because it's working.  We don't have to
rack up lots of points.  Our defense only allowed 3 points Saturday.  There
have only been 2 touchdowns scored on us all season.  And those were both
late in the game when we didn't care if they scored.

[Ken Kirkley]

Where are you getting that stat?  I don't buy it.
 
Yes, Woody Hayes loved the 3 yards and a cloud of dust style of football.
That is not the type of football that will continue to attract recruits to
the spread option though.  And when you run the ball 3 things can happen and
two of them are bad (Run for a gain, Tackled for a loss, Fumble), so that
doesn't make much sense, especially when you have a QB that does not have a
propensity towards throwing INTs.

I'm not buying the RUTS argument.  I think we would gladly take more points.
Originally the story was we run the dive play in the first 15-20 snaps to
see who on defense reacts (who takes the QB, TE, RB, etc)  But as the game
progresses and that is still a staple, I don't know.

Good points ...

 

is this conservative play calling because Adazio is our new offensive
coordinator and OL coach?  If Gonzales (WR coach) were our OC - would we see
a lot more passes?  

 

If we were mixing the run and pass more - I would feel more comfortable.  I
would feel that we were more unpredictable.  

 

Our OL is great, and probably better than most other DLs. 

 

My concern  is - (1) injuries for our OL are starting to mount and (2) can
our OL blow holes in a great defense like Alabama?  

 

Demps, Rainey, and James are great one on one with DBs - I am still not
convinced that they can run through takles at the line of scrimmage.  If the
OL blows huge holes and gets them past the LBers - then great.  Otherwise it
is usually lost yardage.  

 

Moody, Chris Scott, Gillislee - I think could break most of the tackles.
But we rarely see Moody and never see the other two except mop up duty.

[gatortalk] Re: Monday morning procrastination

[Ken Kirkley]

My thought is they play Demps and Rainey because they have the ability to
break the big gain, IF they can get to and through the hole quickly enough.
This actually helps dispel the myth that Urban and Co. are happy with long
boring drives that eat up the clock.  They would be happier if Demps could
take one of these dive plays and go 60 yards.  If they were really
interested in 12-15 play drives, they would use Moody more.
 
As I say this, I don't have anything against Demps and Rainey, I just think
we are utilizing them in the wrong way.  It is okay to run them between the
tackles occasionally to keep the defense honest, but it shouldn't be their
staple.

[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [Scripps Howard ]: Tebow takes command in Heisman Trophy poll (Lindsay)

[Ken Kirkley]

Yep, you are the only one. Not a single Auburn fan feels the same way :)
 
The HE15MAN trophy is for the most outstanding collegiate player.  There are
no other qualifiers on the ballot other than most outstanding.  I had this
discussion with a buddy the other day who was arguing about all these
players that have this stat or that stat and the only reason they aren't top
3 in the polls is because they don't play for Florida, Texas or Notre Dame.

 
My response is simple.  If you could pick any one player in college to join
your team, who would it be?  I'm not saying it would be unanimous, but with
that question, Tebow would be far in the lead.  He is simply the most
outstanding.

[Ken Kirkley]

So you are saying that Tebow and McCoy/Brantley are equivalent?
 
My point is Tebow brings something unique to the QB position that can't be
replicated easily.  Spikes may be the best MLB in the country, but he isn't
that much better than the rest of the top tier MLBs.
 
And my second choice would be Eric Berry or Ndamukong Suh.

I'll pick Spikes, and I will assume that you pick Tebow.

I then pick either Colt McCoy or John Brantley. I haven't decided, but
unless you want 2 QBs, it won't matter.

DeLand's standout junior ATH De'Ante 'Pop' Saunders commits to Florida


By Buddy Collings

Sentinel Staff Writer

9:53 PM EDT, October 19, 2009

DELAND - DeLand standout junior athlete De'Ante Pop Saunders has committed
to the University of Florida, the Gators first verbal for the 2011 signing
class.

Florida faxed a written scholarship offer to DeLand High on behalf of junior
De'Ante Pop Saunders on Monday. That's all it took to land a player who
starts on offense, defense and as a return man for a 7-0 state-ranked team.

Saunders, part of DeLand's Double Barrel combo with fellow running back
Shontrelle Johnson, a Northwestern commitment for 2010, is the No. 1-ranked
player in Sentinel's Central Florida Top 50 for juniors, and ranks No. 20 on
the Sentinel's 2011 state Top 100.

Saunders, Central Florida's leader in rushing yards with exactly 1,000,
asked his high school coach to call the Gators back and tell them he was
committed.

It was a place that I always wanted to go, Saunders said. Once I saw they
had a full ride for me, I knew I that what was I wanted to do. I always
liked Florida, even when I was little.

The 6-foot, 180-pound two-sport star has received major college offers for
both football and basketball. He was the leading scorer for a Nike Team
Florida basketball travel team that was runner-up in the AAU 16-and-under
national tournament.

Right now, I'm pretty much in love with football more than I am with
basketball, Saunders said.

Saunders starts at wingback and cornerback for DeLand.

Florida likes him for both offense and defense. They just like him as an
athlete, said DeLand Coach Kevin Pettis. He's probably the most talented
punt returner I've ever been around.

Saunders attended UF's Friday Night Lights Camp this summer and attended a
home game against Tennessee. He saw UF home games vs. Ole Miss, LSU and
Hawaii last year with former DeLand teammate Mike Gillislee, who is now a
freshman running back for the Gators.

That's a big factor, Mike being up there. We've been friends since we were
little, Saunders said.

Yes, they are what they are.  So, this year we're putting up better numbers
against better teams.  We're also undefeated at this point.  The 2008 team,
as we all remember, was not at this point of the season.  

They had one bad game and still won.  I think this team has the potential to
do better than last year's team, and the '06 team and the '08 team and even
the '96 team.  They can still go undefeated through the regular season.
They can still win the bowl game.  If they do, they will have to be
recognized as the best team in Gator history.  

That said, if you think Arkansas was a trap game, you're going to see a
bigger trap game in StarkVegas this Saturday.  MSU has improved each week
since the season began and.  we're playing there!

I think we'll win, but it's going to be another difficult SEC game.  

I haven't looked at the Pick'em yet (dumb game) but I'll bet we're favored
by a lot less than 24 this week.

So, we get by them and we've got the leg humpers, FIU, Vandy and the semis
left.  I see the potential to go into the SECCG looking pretty good.

The WRs have to quit dropping those long bombs eventually.  They'll get
better and that should open up the running game even more.

I'm looking forward to a great rest-of-the-season.

by Robbie  http://andreu.blogs.gatorsports.com/author/andreu/ Andreu
(Gainesville SUN)

 

 

At about the same time last season, a loss to Ole Miss seemed to unite the
Gators and send them speeding off in the right direction after some
early-season struggles. Will a near-loss to Arkansas on Saturday have a
similar effect?

Will the Gators start opening things up and turning things on like they did
during their national championship run a year ago?

It's possible. But probably not likely. That's not to say the Gators won't
run the table and reach the national title game. What I'm saying is don't
expect this UF team to become the offensive juggernaut that last year's team
did after the Ole Miss loss.

Six games into the season, it's obvious the Gators are what they are.
They're a very good defensive team that can shut down opponents when they
don't have breakdowns and mental lapses like a week ago. They're a
struggling offensive team that doesn't have the playmakers (especially in
the passing game) they had a year ago to roll up all kinds of points.

Somehow the Gators won a game they probably should have lost Saturday. Like
Tim Tebow said Monday, it took a lot of heart and character to somehow earn
a victory with those four lost fumbles and six sacks.

Maybe the near-loss will take off some of the pressure and UF will start
making some of those plays they've been just missing on offensive. Maybe
that will lead to more relaxing games and a wider margin of victory.

But the thinking here is that was just the first of what could be several
down-to-the-wire games for UF the rest of the way. The Gators know they can
win those games, just like they did Saturday.

To win the national championship, the Gators probably will have to do it the
way they did in 2006, when they managed games so well offensively and found
a way to win each week.

Buckle your seatbelts, because it could be a thrilling (and scary) ride the
rest of the way.

[gatortalk] Re: What are our opponents afraid of - when playing us?

[Ken Kirkley]

My feeling is this team is playing on the edge.  We have a few players that
are injured, a few more that are playing but not 100%, couple that with
conservative play calling and what I sense as the offense playing 'tight'.
That leads to a 31 point 1st quarter in Kentucky when everything goes right
or to a 10 point win against UT when Tim fumbles late or a near death
experience when we get into the redzone 4 times with zero points to show for
the effort.
 
In the Arky game, if we don't fumble, we win going away.  Arky had to play
the best game of their lives and we had to play our worst.  Still it took
essentially two defensive breakdowns to keep them in the game.  If we make
one of the 5 missed tackles on the long TD run, or if Janoris doesn't get
caught playing the run (for the 2nd time), the long pass play doesn't
happen.
 
For everyone who is saying it is okay to play conservative, survive and
advance, that is fine but it leaves no room for error.  This team needs to
learn to trust the younger receivers, play a little looser  and have a
margin for error when we get the best from our opponent.
 
Having said that, I do think we will turn it around.  Everyone wants to talk
about how great Alabama is, but that USC game was a lot closer than the
final score indicated.  If SOS wasn't so damn stubborn and insisted on
throwing the same fade pattern from the 4, 3 times in a row - that game
might be different as well.
 
I think we figure it out this week.  Miss St was always known for tough
defense, not sure they have that this year.  Their offense is better, but
they don't have the athletes they need to run the spread effectively against
our defense.  Gators 42 Miss St. 3

That depends a lot on the quality of the opponent.  Kentucky, Vanderbilt,
and less talented teams - fear everything and hope to catch us napping.  
 
But the better teams - do they fear our defense?  What about after the
Arkansas game?  The only real offense we have played this year.  
 
Do they fear our offense?  Obviously they are psyched out about Tebow.  But
what if we played Brantley instead of Tebow - would they fear our offense?
 
Do they fear our special teams?  Use to be - whenever Brandon James would go
out to field a kickoff or a punt - everyone was on the edge of their seat.
And when it came time for our opponents to punt - everyone sat on the edge
of their seat - wondering if we would block it?  
 
Or do we suffer from a phenom of where we have so many talents - that no one
talent stands out - so we have nothing special about us?  After all we are
ranked #1 and lead the SEC in many categories.  
 
I would say the latter - but college football experts see that in Alabama
- but not us?

I agree, we shouldn't play the would have could have game.  It is our opponents 
(fans) who are playing that to derive a Vol* victory out of their games with 
the Gators.  
 
I am simply pointing out that the games were close due to our mistakes, not 
theirs.  And we still won.  If we can clean up our game, we will be rolling.
 
There are many theories (see GatorCountry for our many coaches plans...) as to 
how to solve our woes, but it essentially comes down to holding on to the 
football on offense and making tackles on defense.

If Tebow doesn't fumble on the 2 against UT, we are up 31-6 and win going away. 
 If Cooper doesn't drop a TD bomb last week and we don't fumble twice and miss 
a field goal, we win going away.  We have to force teams to throw to force

We're really playing pretty much like we have every season since Meyer has been 
at UF. 
Although we may be a bit more conservative than usual we're doing what we do in 
the beginning of the season. 
By the end, when we get to Alabama, I suspect the offense will gel into the 
machine it is capable of being. And the defense, there's no worry there. I 
know, they have a 1 quarter let down. Take that away and they've allowed 3 
touchdowns for the season. 
As I mentioned earlier, let's let Bammy carry that AP albatross awhile. Maybe 
we'll loosen up a little more and have the big finish to the season we've come 
to expect. 

Steve is right. The big blowouts are fan generated expectations. Yes, a win is 
a win. Let's enjoy the ride.

Bama or whoever shows to be more impressive as the season continues?


If it's only Bama that leapfrogs us (and keep in mind they've only done that in 
the AP poll so far, which is NOT a component of the BCS poll which selects the 
participants in the title game), then, if we just win out, we'll get to 
decide the BCS semi-final on the field with them. To carry that further, even 
if we were to drop to #4 in the BCS, a win over a #1 Bama would likely get us 
back in the top 2. #3 or better at that point and it's win, we're in.


- these problems are not just due to Tebows concussion.. that cannot be an 
excuse.. he's been on his game.  But the entire game cannot rest on his 
shoulders.


I'll be interested to see if we run the read option play this week. That's 
where Tebow puts the ball in the tailback's belly as if he's running a dive 
play then, depending on his read, can pull it out and run it wide, and possibly 
pitch it to the trailer. We were killing Kentucky with that pay, and 
(ostensibly) to protect Tebow, we have not run it since. We were able to gash 
LSU with the straight dive, but Arkansas schemed to take that away, and we 
struggled on the ground against them for the most part.


- just win because the entire year is going to be a struggle because they are 
not as good of a team as we thought.  That atleast seems to be true... 


And that could be true - especially if the as good of a team as we thought 
part means as good as those hyper inflated best team ever expectations. 

- just win because Addazzio is still getting his feet wet as a OC and is 
going through a learning curve, hence why

[gatortalk] Re: Tebow and pass effiency

[Ken Kirkley]

I think it is the coaches not having the confidence in the younger
receivers, so for the most part we are running a 1 or 2 WR set.  It is hard
to see on TV since they don't show the whole play developing (must be part
of that media blackout thingy), but the times you can see our receivers
quite often they are simply there to pull the safeties to one side of the
field or to begin blocking.  Even in our 5 wide sets, we rarely look past
Cooper and Hernandez.  
The whole team is playing tight.  Coaches and players.  It is a game, go out
have fun.  I mean after all, according to the MiamiPalmBeachPostHerald news
this morning:

But the truth is, Tim Tebow isn't deserving of all this Heisman talk.
Not this year, anyway. Not when he's having an ordinary season on a team
that hasn't lived up to expectations.

At 6-0, ranked #1, we are just ordinary...

that UF/Tebow are #1 in passing efficiency, and therefore we can't be doing
all that badly.

I don't know if it's down to Tebow's look once, twice - run mentality,
Meyer's obsession with ball security, or what, but I believe that the pass
efficiency rating is, at least partially, a byproduct of perhaps being too
careful with the ball.

That sounds like a silly concept, but consider the following: When did our
offense really seem to find it's feet last year? Most point to the second
half of the Arky game. And a great deal of that spark came from the long
runs from Demps and Rainey, I know, but those may have been influenced to
some degree by the Hogs' defenders having to concern themselves with a
bolder Tebow.

Bolder how? I suggest that throwing the pick that he did in the first half,
which ended a long string of attempts without one, may have freed Tim to
take more chances passing the ball.

From what I've observed, this season Tim rarely passes the ball on timing
routes - he seems to need to see separation first, before he'll pass. When
he doesn't, and pulls the ball down and runs, there is no chance for an INT,
and the pass efficiency rating doesn't suffer, but as a result we may miss
out on some big plays for the sake of staying out of bad ones.

Again, that may be (and has been) ascribed to a number of reasons, from a
lack of confidence/coordination with the receivers, lingering effects from
his concussion, or just a conservative nature inherent to Tim or instilled
in him by the coaches. 

I'm not saying that any of our team is playing for stats at the expense of
production, I just feel that the sometimes ultra-conservative way we've seen
the passing game implemented may be as big of a factor in achieving that one
particular statistic, and as such it may not be the best way to judge how
effective our passing game has been up to this point in time.

I hope that by Sunday morning we'll all feel better about how we're passing
the ball, and this post will look foolish in hindsight (ducking!).

I think this is pretty silly.  Here in Big Televen country it seems they

for winning championships, not for beating rivals.  For that you get
scoreboard and a year of bragging rights.

by  http://chalkboard.blogs.gainesville.com/author/crabbe/ Nathan Crabbe
(Gainesville SUN)

 

 

The winner of this Saturday's Florida-Georgia game will get a wooden oar to
go along with bragging rights.

The University of Florida Student Government announced Wednesday that the
Okefenokee Oar would be presented to the game's winner starting this year,
in the hopes of establishing an annual tradition.

It's just a way to increase the friendly competition in the game, said
Eric Conrad, student government spokesman.

Presenting such a trophy follows in the tradition of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NCAA_college_football_rivalry_games
other rivarly games. The winner of Michigan-Minnesota gets the Little Brown
Jug, the winner of Minnesota-Wisconsin gets Paul Bunyan's Axe and other
teams have also exchanged quirky items in longstanding rivalries.

The oar, which will be presented to the student government president of the
winning university, is carved from a 1,000-year-old cypress tree cut from
the  http://www.fws.gov/okefenokee/ Okefenokee Swamp, according to student
government. The swamp straddles the Florida-Georgia border.

The oar is supposed to symbolize the area that has always been fought over
by the states, Conrad said.

[gatortalk] Re: TT vs. Herschel

[Ken Kirkley]

It doesn't matter how you want to look at it.  I agree that Herschels bowl
game stats should be included, so Tim will break the record with 4 more TDs.
But to say the records should be based on per game stats is ridiculous.
Herschel touched the ball 994 times, Tim is below 600.  So when the season
is done, Tim will have carried the ball almost 200 time less than Herschel.
Also, when Tim gets sacked, that counts as a carry, Walkers carries were all
designed running plays.  even including the lost yardage for sacks, Tim
averages 4.3 ypc, Walker 5.3.
 
What makes this record so amazing is that Tim is a QB and he has also thrown
for 77 TDs!  And just for the record, Tim has only scored 2 of his rshing
TDs in bowl games, Walker had 5.

I have read and heard this argument now about a dozen times. 

CBS even included it in their graphic when the record was broken.

There are two problems with this argument:

1. It is stupid. Players nowadays can accumulate stats in a 12th regular
season game and a conference championship game, but it is the bowl game rule
that is letting career stats be broken? Really? 

TT had 14 games count last year, Walker had 11 each of his year. That's
where the variable is, not the bowl issue. This is the same reason that
breaking O.J.'s single season rushing record in a 16 game season when it was
set in a 12 game season is silly. Pundits everywhere saw this coming when
the season was lengthened and bowl games were made official.  

All of career and season stats should be kept on an average per game basis,
but they are not because - if they did - Jim Brown would still be the NFL's
leading rusher. Until someone adopts this method, the rule is the rule.

Which leads to...

2. Why is Tebow the first time that anyone has brought this issue up? There
are dozens of records that have been broken only because of the 12th game
plus the bowl game. I have never seen the issue raised until now, much less
in a graphic by the broadcast company when the record was broken. Another
good example is Bowden's victory total that includes what would be Division
II victories at Samford. At the time, there was no distinction, so the NCAA
rule is that they count as Division I. A dumb rule, but a rule is a rule,
and no one brings the issue up - unless it is Tebow.

Kentucky, and the offense generally looked crisp and prepared against a soft
Georgia defense. And props to Tebow for scoring career rushing touchdowns 50

[Ken Kirkley]

I believe Brandon thought his glasses needed cleaning and was just trying to
be helpful.  It was very unfortunate that he wasn't wearing glasses though.
 
Seriously, this is being blown way out of proportion by egomaniacal
sportswriters.  They had to have something to talk about this week, I mean
afterall, no one was eating a hotdog on the sidelines.  This game was dirty
from the word go, there were punches, late hits, spitting, gouging, etc.
This one got caught on video, the others didn't.  If it was really as bad as
it looked, I can assure you Georgia would have paraded Ealey out in front of
the media to show his 'gouged' eye.
 
I do agree with Ken that Georgia should step up and suspend their player who
intentionally took a cheap shot at Tebow.  To me that one was worse, Tebow
was out of the play, the play was winding down and the pup comes and cheap
shots Tebow.  Talk about inviting injuries, if you don't call that, then
don't complain about anything else in the game.

Does anyone know of or have a photo of Brandon with his eye patch torn off,

By the way, isn't there a distinction between being poked in the eye and
getting one gouged? I'd think the gouge would get behind the eyeball to
physically pull it out of the skull, and a poke would be a poke. I'll have
to check my medieval torture manuals.

From what I've seen, it looked like a poke, not a gouge.

LsF?author=Dan+Wetzel Dan Wetzel, Yahoo! Sports Nov 2, 2:56 pm EST 

 

 

Eye-gouging is considered such a foul, filthy act that it's banned by even
our most blatantly combative exercises, including mixed martial arts and pro
wrestling.

Sheriff Urban Meyer of the Gainesville PD isn't as concerned, apparently.

The SEC says it accepts Florida's first-half suspension of defensive captain
Brandon Spikes for an eye-gouging incident last week. 

Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes was
http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AvpQeELxIk.P27Xba8OnXwvtxLsF/SIG=11saii0t5/**h
ttp%3A/www.youtube.com/user/s144700%23p/a/0/cISxU8Crulw caught on film
purposefully jamming his fingers through the facemask of Georgia running
back Washaun Ealey on Saturday in an effort to rip at Ealey's eyes.

It was about as ugly and unbecoming of a play as there is in football.

For the act, Meyer will bench his star linebacker for the first half of the
Gators' game against Vanderbilt.

Repeat: one half. That penalty isn't a joke, although the man dishing it out
is acting like one.

There is almost no excuse for Spikes' conduct. None. It was a dirty play and
one with serious ramifications. There's a reason violently poking your
fingers at someone's eye is a zero tolerance offense. The other guy can go
blind. He has no ability to protect himself.

Football is an emotional, violent pursuit and acts like this happen more
than the camera catches. I don't think that we did anything in that game
that they didn't do, quarterback Tim Tebow told reporters.

That's the excuse of a child though. The other-guy-does-it-too is never a
justifiable defense. It wouldn't even matter if Ealey had provoked him (the
two had been jawing prior to the incident).

Spikes is the one who got caught.

Meyer ought to be man enough to know this, which is why his decision to dole
out such a light punishment is more pathetic than Spikes' original sin.

UF athletic director Jeremy Foley or SEC commissioner Mike Slive should've
stepped in and issued a real suspension.

I don't condone that, Meyer told reporters Monday of Spikes' play.

Gee, really, you don't condone it?

We're going to suspend Brandon for the first half of the Vanderbilt game,
Meyer said. I talked to him, that's not who he is. I love Brandon Spikes,
the team does. We're going to move on. He has our full support.

Florida is begging for an adult to lead them. Meyer isn't it when it comes
to player conduct. He may be a heck of a football coach, great recruiter,
perhaps even devout family man and charitable person.

It doesn't change the fact this was a craven decision.

This is a sport, unfortunately, where you don't need to run a program the
right way to earn massive fame, fortune and support though. A large
proportion of Gator fans wouldn't care if Ealey's eye had been damaged. It's
like that with every college team.

For too many fans it's just about winning games. They'll pretend Meyer is
doing it the right way whether he is or not. They'll justify Spikes' act and
the light penalty somehow.

Meyer and Foley know that. They know football runs the school and, as such,
no one who runs the school will mess with football. So they'll do as they
wish and pretend it's no big deal.

The fans will cheer anyway. The checks will clear regardless. Spikes may
even have another 10-tackle, pick-six afternoon like he did against Georgia.

There ought to be more though. Dirty plays are dirty plays. Meyer may be
correct that this act isn't who Spikes is. Fine. No one is saying he's a
monster. Sitting him for a couple of games isn't disproportionate punishment
though.

A lesson needs to be taught. A standard should be upheld. Some discipline
has to be displayed - both to those inside and outside the program.

The University of Florida should care about more than the pursuit of a glass
football trophy.

This is about winning games by any means necessary, it's about justifying
and enabling out-of-control play, it's about brushing off concerns about the
safety of opposing players.

The timing is interesting that on the same day UF was giving a wrist slap
for an eye gouge, Oregon was set to reinstate running back LeGarrette Blount
for his sucker punch of a Boise State player and attempted charge at fans
back in September.

It took less than 24 hours for Oregon to suspend Blount for the entire

No way, no how do you keep an offense vanilla all year to keep game film
away from offenses.  They all have seen what we can do when we open it up
and there is plenty of film from last year to view.  I think it is
conservative playcalling and lack of execution.  I think 3 of the sacks
yesterday were on Tebow, holding the ball too long instead of making a
decision to throw it away.  But is it because he didn't have anyone open due
to bad play call, poor route running?  I don't know, I did think it was odd
on his TD pass that Nelson was behind Cooper, usually you don't bring extra
defenders into the area.
 
This team is an enigma, we know they can score, but for some reason we
don't, we act like we are in the NFL and play ball control, field position
football.  That will win a lot of games with our talent, but will also leave
little margin for error when mistakes are made.

Ok, I'm sure many of us have thought it, but just haven't actually voiced
it. Try this on for size and see what you think. 
 
I've been thinking for some time that we have become the masters of the
vanilla offense. Everyone thinks our offense is struggling, but I think we
are doing just enough to win the game yet not give game tape material to
opossing coaches. With the exception of the Georgia game, which we all knew
would be a pull out all the stops game, I think Tebow and the offense is
doing EXACTLY what Meyer wants. 
 
So far, the only good game tape Saban and Mack Brown have to study is the
UGA game. Not much there to prepare for, is there?

RE: [gatortalk] Tenn robbers still not off the team?

[Ken Kirkley]

I don't think we should be throwing stones at UT over this.  They have
suspended the players for this game, so let's not rush to judgement as to
the final penalty.
 
I hate Kiffy as much as the next Gator, but this is about 4 young adults who
have made a terrible mistake and might have thrown their lives away.  Armed
robbery in most states is a very serious offense, usually requiring
mandatory jail time, can't imagine Tennessee is too lenient.  
 
As Gators, we have had our share of criminal behaviour over the last few
years, and for the most part we have given kids a second or even third
chance.  It is up to them what they do with these chances and unfortunately
most of them have squandered the opportunity to reform (Moss, Hornsby,
Wilson, Atkins).  All of these guys were suspended from the team - and for
the most part we didn't know how long or why they were suspended - and it
was up to them to work their way back into the good graces of the coaches.
 
I will wait to see how UT ultimately deals with these 4 students before
rushing to judgement.

RE: [gatortalk] Tenn robbers still not off the team?

[Ken Kirkley]

Yes, rushing to judgement before you know how UT is handling the situation.
That is my point, not that they are innocent, not that they don't deserve
punishment, they do.  But we should wait to praise or criticize once we see
how it is handled.
 
When Ronnie Wilson fired an assault weapon in the air, there were many
saying he should be kicked off immediately.  When Brandon Spikes was gently
wiping the dirt off of that Dawgs face, many were calling for his dismissal.
Let it play out and then see if criticism is warranted.

RE: [gatortalk] Alabammy

[Ken Kirkley]

One of the things to keep in mind is that we went through a stretch of games
where we uncharacteristically turned the ball over again and again.

Playing Keith's patented woulda shoulda game...

Eliminate two pick sixes from the Miss St game and the score is 29 - 6
Eliminate a fumble against UT and it is 31-6
Eliminate 3 first half fumbles against Arkansas and we win going away

My point is the team was playing tight - they are less so now, the play
calling was predictable - it is getting slightly better.  We have stopped
shooting ourselves in the foot and have two games and an off week to get
ready for Bama.  Bama is good, but not unbeatable.  Ingrahm is good, but was
held to 70 yards last night until a late 4thQ 77 yard TD run.  We beat Bama
last year without Percy and will do so again this year.

Gators 29,  Miss St 19
Bama 31, Miss St 3   They scored more and won with a wider 
margin.

I had to get up and look up the scores with our common opponents:

Gators 23, Vols 13Higher score for us, wider margin
Bama 12, Vols 10

Gators 41, UK 7Higher score for us, wider margin
Bama 38, UK 20

Gators 13, LSU 3   Not as much offense for us but a 
wider margin (so more defense?)
Bama 24, LSU 15

Gators 23, Arky 20Hmmm...
Bama 35, Arky 7

Gators 24, USCar 14Higher score for us, narrower margin
Bama 20, USCar 6

Did gathering of this information make me feel better about meeting Bama in
Atlanta in December?  No, not really.

RE: [gatortalk] Alabammy

[Ken Kirkley]

They moved the ball on two drives in the first half when they scored their
TDs, other than that, not so much.
 
On 12 drives they averaged 3.6 yards per play.  Take out the 2 scoring
drives and the averaged 1.5 yards per play on the remaining 10 drives.
 
In the second half, the average 1 yard per play.  I'm not sure Bama can take
too much from that, except to hope that we miss numerous tackles like we
did.  Also, I think Garcia is a much better QB than McElroy.
 
One additional thought, we blitzed more last night than I have ever seen, it
was fun to watch.  On their two scoring drives we brought the corner blitz
several times and Garcia checked down to the open man each time.  I don't
think we ran that blitz in the 2nd half at all.
 
Now, on to Florida International.  I'm really worried about this game...

One other point: I haven't seen any stats, but it seemed that Spurrier's
offense was effective at moving the ball against us at times (when Garcia
wasn't being crushed by our blitzers).

I hope this doesn't give Alabama any clues as to how to scheme against us. I
hope we can come up with some defensive looks that Alabama will not have
seen from us.

That could explain some, I suppose, but teams look at all game tape, not
just how we beat an opponent.

I just wish people would stop talking about the Gators being 19 - 0, now 20
- 0. This team is 10 - 0. Those other wins belong to the 2008 team.

I want our guys to play loose, and have fun, not like they are trying to
preserve or maintain something, or be perfect, or play up to the
expectations of others.

A few weeks ago, although I certainly didn't want us to lose a game, I was
thinking that dropping one might actually be liberating for the team, and
give them some motivation (as did the loss to 'Ole Miss last year). It could
also have helped with the fans' expectations, and we might not have been so
critical after close wins.

Anyway, it's way too late for that now. We have three games in front of us,
and if we win out, we are the SEC Champions and are playing for the National
Championship.

South Carolina ran 66 plays overall, 37 in the first half when Gary
Danielson was saying they had us right where they wanted us.  In the second
half, they ran 29 plays for a total of 30 yards, in the fourth quarter they
ran 11 plays for a -20 yards.

Granted if the CBS analyst meant that - SC kept moving the ball down the

is too obvious - so I don't think he meant that.  
 
My point was - the way that we rotate defensive players - and the depth that
we have - we look as strong and fast in the 4th quarter as we do in the
first quarter - if not stronger and faster.  
 
Whereas most opposing offenses tend to wear down during the game - our
defense usually gets stronger.  So more plays would not help them.

RE: [gatortalk] CBS analyst - number of plays

[Ken Kirkley]

They were moving, I still had confidence that they would at most get a field
goal to tie the game.  But that is also the point of this, our defense steps
up late in games and makes plays.  The INT was on a 3rd down, it was well
covered and despite what the announcers said, was well thrown.

South Carolina ran 66 plays overall, 37 in the first half when Gary

half, they ran 29 plays for a total of 30 yards, in the fourth quarter they
ran 11 plays for a -20 yards.

statistic would be beyond moot.

The CBS analyst kept talking about South Carolina running a number of plays

I kept disagreeing.  
 
Granted if the CBS analyst meant that - SC kept moving the ball down the
field the whole game - ok - I agree - but why didn't he say that - and that
is too obvious - so I don't think he meant that.  
 
My point was - the way that we rotate defensive players - and the depth that
we have - we look as strong and fast in the 4th quarter as we do in the
first quarter - if not stronger and faster.  
 
Whereas most opposing offenses tend to wear down during the game - our
defense usually gets stronger.  So more plays would not help them.

Q: What's the last dream you had that you can remember?

A: Oh man. I wish Adam (Allen) was here to hear this. I meant to tell him
earlier, because I just had this dream last night. It was the weirdest
dream, but it's hilarious. So last night, I'm sleeping, and I remember that
I was at an outdoor court with coach (Larry)Shyatt . He tied my left hand
behind my back and I was outside the 3-point line and he kept having me
shoot tater tots through the hoop. Every time I missed, he'd just fire them
back at me, but I didn't have my left hand, so I couldn't swat them away. My
little cousin was in it and my girlfriend was in it. I kept getting tater
tots in the face. Then I woke up. It was just weird.

Consequently, I have asked the band not to play 'From Dixie with Love' at

message that the university is neither facilitating nor indirectly condoning

In response, the Klan plans to rally in full robes. Barbara Lago, director

No way.  He is gone for at least the SECC.  If he can get his issues
resolved soon, he may be back for MNC. I wouldn't bet on it.

 

I for one will be very disappointed if he is allowed to play this week.  He
made a stupid decision that could have been fatal to him or someone else. 

 

It doesn't matter if the car was running or in gear, if he was in the
drivers seat and had the keys, that is enough for DUI.  Refusing a BAT
almost admits guilt.

I'm not buying this yet.  If it is true, it is a bad hire, plain and simple.
If UF can not get a better head coach than a coordinator, then we are in
trouble.  Muschamp is an excellent coordinator and is widely thought to be a
great head coach one day, but his first gig shouldn't be here.  Add to that
he is coming off a 5-7 season as head coach in waiting at U Tx and is a
dawg, I feel like this is Zook II.
 
No way is this a better hire than Charlie Strong, at least he has one year
HC experience.  Please let this not be true!

AUSTIN, Texas - A person familiar with the decision says Texas defensive

Florida.
Muschamp, who just finished his third season at Texas, where he was the
head-coach-in-waiting to succeed Mack Brown, replaces Urban Meyer at
Florida.
The person confirming the move spoke on condition of anonymity because they
were not authorized to speak in advance of a formal announcement later

RE: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [SUN]: Source: Muschamp to be head coach at Florida

[Ken Kirkley]

As coordinators go,  I agree that he is one of the best. I would have
thought that UF wouldn't have to go for a coordinator though.  We are big
time and it seemed like there were several names on the list that would have
been a better choice (and no, not Stoops, never believed that). He is now
our head coach and I will support him, but I think this is Foley's riskiest
hire to date. 
 
Muschamp not only has to become a head coach with all that entails - hiring
coaches, supervising staff, setting practice and program schedules, booster
circuit, etc., but he also has to win over a suspect fan base.  That is not
an easy task as Florida fans are wont to cannabalize their own if things
don't go right quickly.  And selling the fans will be difficult as he has to
overcome these two issues in particular:

He was a walk-on at the University of Georgia, where he was a defensive
co-captain his senior season.

Muschamp was on the same LSU staff with new Florida State coach Jimbo
Fisher and the two are close friends. They own a beach house together in
Florida.

If he can come out and fire everyone up and convince us he is a Gator and
not a Dawg or a SOW sympathizer, then great, but until then  the jury is
out.  I was hoping for that home run hire that everyone would say, great
choice, we didn't get that.

His head coach-in-waiting status elevates him above most other only
coordinators.

He is known as a great recruiter.

He looks like the kind of guy that will be able to restore discipline to a
fractured and fractious team.

And...since UT isn't in a bowl game, he can get to work on all of the above
right away.

RE: [gatortalk] Muschamp...

[Ken Kirkley]

I'm wondering was this hire because Muschamp (or is it Muschomp?) is truly
the best candidate for the job or is it because Foley thinks he is smarter
than everyone else?  Now don't get me wrong, Foley is brilliant as AD and I
give him kudos for the job he has done.  He does have the reputation of
finding the young up and coming coaches (see Donovan, O'Sullivan, Butler),
but he has also had a few misses ( Zook anyone).  
 
Muschamp is by every account a wonderful coach and is ready for a head
coaching job, but was he really the best candidate and the only one we would
talk to?  I don't think we did this for any monetary gain, it is almost
certain that he will end up with a package that is worth close to $3M a
year.  So unless we had back channel communications with the other leading
contenders and they said no, this hire seems to be an uneccessary gamble.
Unless you are Jeremy Foley and you want to point out what a genious you
are...

I'm not so sure there is all that much to save recruit-wise. Driskell would

I just wish Foley would have gone after Petersen or a more proven commodity.
Even the Texas writer admitted UF is one of the top 5. Why take a chance
when you don't have to?
He may come in and be great. But, even if he's Mister Wonderful, he's still
going to face a learning curve in becoming a head coach. How long will he
get to do that? At Florida? One, two games? We all know what's expected,
super human success!

Ok... I have been quiet on Muschamp.

I am fine with this.  I am excited about this.  This will bring a tenacity,
work ethic, family oriented, fierceness to our our defense.  We have not had
that since Charlie and I would even go so far as to say since before even
that.

I want fierce, I want tenacious, I want 60 minutes of a$$kicking.  Mushcamp
will bring that attitude.

Yeah, he has not been a head coach, but he is battle tested in two BCS
conference and proven as a defensive mind.  As a head coach, he has to look
at what he has at Florida, find an OC that fits, make the hire, and then let
him work.  We will know more once he determines where we are going and who
he brings in.

Right now, the only bad decision he has made was that UGA thing... and you
can bet he will do all he can to pound those puppies or risk being called
out by Gator Nation.  

I can't wait to see who is on his staff, but the most important thing right
now is that I have not seen one single negative thing from any of the
current players.  Even the recruits seem excited.  

Foley may have saved this recruiting season, we will see if his gamble pays
off long term, but I like his track record as an AD.  We will know soon
enough, but my money is on Muschamp.

Yeah, it's hard to wrap my head around the bulldog history, or that he's

otherwise. I wasn't considering that we might hire someone who wasn't a HC,
but that's a gutsy move I can live with. Winning, of course, will be the
main test, but I also want to see him able to respect our traditions of
hating bulldogs and noles. He'd better not go all 'it's just another game'
on us when UGA week rolls around and he'd better RUTS if he gets the chance.
I am reservedly optimistic.

It's not hurting us yet.  You are allowed to have 9 assistant coaches and
right now, those 9 are preparing our team for the Outback bowl.  I believe
he is probably waiting on coaches that currently have jobs and have teams in
bowl games, therefore he has to wait until their season's are over.  
 
The reasons its not hurting yet:
- Up to this point the focus has been on keeping our currently committed
players in the fold, to a large extent this has been successful
- Starting tomorrow it is a recruiting dead period until January 3rd
- There seems to be a larger than usual number of coaching changes this
year.  This not only affects our hiring plans, but it also affects other
schools recruiting when they have to deal with the rumors of where every
coach is said to be going.
- We are Florida.

RE: [gatortalk] Health warning for Florida BB.

[Ken Kirkley]

Jerry, 
 
Great points.  Last night we saw Wilbekin get many more minutes than usual,
I think Walkers shooting slump and sometimes erratic play will keep him on
the bench in the last half of the season.  Still, Walker is a senior and his
leadership and grit on defense are very valuable.  But man, I can't wait to
see Wilbekin next year, he has really come along and improved.
 
I stil think Tyus has heart, I just think the team this year is different
and he is a role player.  He still plays incredible D, but on offense he is
playing more facing the basket, which is where he wanted to be last year.
Our post play and offense is better suited to guys with their back to the
basket.
 
Chandler is an enigma, I thought he was somewhat of a liability on the floor
earlier this season, but these last 4 or 5 games he is a beast.  Hope it
keeps going, his shooting will come around.
 
Don't think Knight to Gainesville was ever going to happen, we don't need
him anyway, but it would be nice to have some pure shooters like KY has. We
played great defense and they were still draining 3's, hard to stop that.
But more importantly than the 3's were the 15 foot jump shots, they drive,
pull up and shoot.  We don't seem to have anybody who can consistently hit
those shots, much less 3's, but at least we hit as many as we needed to.
 
As far as the bigs not being effective, I think that is what KY wanted to
make happen.  They usually had 3 guys in the low post on D, basically daring
us to beat the gaurds 1 on 1 and hit 3's.  We couldn't do that and that is
why they were effective.
 
Overall great game, good to have a 2 game lead in the east with 7 to go.
Coming down the stretch we have:
- @ South Carolina - this is a likely win
- Tennessee - Tough game, but it is at home
- @ LSU - this is a likely win
- Georgia - Need to win this, can't have a let down
- @ Kentucky - likely loss
- Alabama - Another tough game, but it is at home.
- @ Vanderbilt - a likely loss
 
If we can win 2 of 3 from the UT, UGA and Bama games,  as well as SC and LSU
we probably finish 1st in the East.  If we go 5-2  to end the season, we are
probably looking at a top 15 ranking.
 
Go Gators!

If we have too many more games like tonight, my wife will get to collect on
my insurance policy.  Games are going to have to begin with a hazardous to
your health warning!

 

On a more serious note,  I am not sure we are really quite ready for
primetime.  Here are some random thoughts on tonight's game.

1.   I love Erving Walker's heart, but he needs to learn to leave the
playground game for the summer.  Several times tonight he had some very bad
out-of-control turnovers.

2.   Scotty did much better for us tonight.  I am proud of him.

3.   I can't figure out what is wrong with Tyus.  He just does not seem
to have his head and heart in the game.

4.   Murphy often seemed lost on defense.  He needs to be coached up
some more.

5.   Chandler is playing lights out on defense and on rebounding.  I am
sorry he has lost his confidence both at the free throw line as well as from
the top of the key for 3-pointers.  He still is pretty good on threes from
the edge.  We need to play some patsies so he can regain his confidence and
start shooting like he did for much of last year.

6.   Can you imagine how dangerous we might be had Brandon Knight come
to Gainesville?  The thing that keeps this team from being really good is
that we can't consistently hit from beyond the arc.  If (when?) we start
hitting with regularity from beyond the arc, it will open up things in the
paint.

7.   Overall our bigs (minus Parsons) were not nearly as effective
tonight as they should have been.  They should have been able to exploit
Kentucky's weakness in the middle.

 

Jerry

[gatortalk] Re: 23 point game...

[Ken Kirkley]

This game was remarkably similar to the 03 game in Miami.  We had them beat
there, but Brock brought them back to win late.

 

I think the team came out thinking this was going to be easy.  The fans
thought it was going to be easy, very little energy in the stadium.  And
give UM credit, they had a great gameplan and didn't allow their QBs to make
mistakes, lots of short passes and no possibility of an interception.

 

Me thinks that we are too spoiled if you aren't happy with a 23 point win in
a rivalry game.  Our D played well and we made decent adjustments at
halftime on both O and D.  I am frustrated at the lack of crossing routes
and basically not giving Hernandez a look all night.  And where is Moody?
Moore can't do it and Rainey is just too small to run between the tackles.

 

Overall, I am very pleased, never thought we would lose and am happy as all
get out that Urban went for the FG in the final minute.  Take that back to
S. FLA!

Sorry, but there is no way I could enjoy this game. scUM sends a bunch of
freshmen into The Swamp, and they play us almost even most of the way. 

I couldn't even breathe until it became 16 - 3.

Our high octane offense looked positively sick until the fourth quarter,
and our Heisman Trophy winning quarterback -- his fault or not -- looked
tentative and unsure. 

Is this the way we are going to play versus the SEC? If so, it is going to
be a long and frustrating season. We looked incredibly mediocre tonight.

Go Gators...this was a memorable game just because of the win itself. I am
still so angry with Mullen...but their defense also did a great job
confusing us. When TT had one extra second, he was able to do some damage
(especially in the last qtr).

I am a proud and happy Gator after all!!!

I find it sad, that they build this kid up as an all-star but don't provide
any of the pertinent details on why he was kicked off Florida.

 

Hornsby said Thursday he didn't want to talk about the circumstances under
which he left Florida, only saying that he had to leave

 

Yes, you had to leave because you were stealing from a student who you knew
who had died tragically.  And, oh yeah, that student happened to be the
girlfriend of one of your teammates.  Oh, did I mention that one of your
teammates died in that accident too?  Okay, I understand why you had to
leave, you were going to get your butt kicked if you stuck around.

 

I don't have a problem with Jamar being given a 2nd chance, glad it is not
at Florida, but to not even mention the circumstances is beyond homersim.

In September 2007, Florida safety
http://olemiss.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=1pr_key=87806 Jamar
Hornsby had a tackle in a win at Ole Miss.

On Saturday, however, he plans on being on the sidelines of Vaught-Hemingway
Stadium in another capacity - that of unofficial visitor and a recruit who
now has a serious interest in playing for the Rebels.












Hornsby said Ole Miss offered about two weeks ago

I'm coming up with (associate head) coach (William) Jones, and maybe a
couple of other players, Hornsby said on Thursday evening. I'm not for
sure which players yet, but I'm sure a couple of more will come.

Hornsby's interest in Ole Miss has grown considerably since receiving a
scholarship offer from Houston Nutt's Rebels.

I was offered by Ole Miss a couple of weeks ago, Hornsby said. (Ole Miss
safeties) Coach (Kim) Dameron is recruiting me and he's telling me that I
have a good chance of coming in right away and playing immediately.

Hornsby's potential to make an immediate impact comes from his experience at
Florida for two years, and over the fall at East Mississippi Community
College.

Hornsby, who is originally from Jacksonville (Sandalwood), Fla., signed with
Florida as part of the Gators' heralded 2006 signing class, choosing Florida
over the likes of Southern California, Georgia, Ohio State, and Michigan.
Hornsby said he was offered by just about every SEC team. 

Two seasons ago, Hornsby was listed as a Rivals250 prospect, the 22nd best
prospect in Florida, the No. 13 athlete nationally, and was ranked a
four-star prospect coming out of high school.

After drawing a redshirt in the 2006 season at Florida, Hornsby played in
eight games as a redshirt freshman in 2007. He was credited with five
tackles.

Hornsby was expected to see playing time this fall for the Gators. However,
he was dismissed from the team late last spring after being charged with
misdemeanor charges of credit card fraud. His case is still pending and a
plea agreement is expected to be reached after Hornsby completes his current
semester at East Miss. No details of the agreement have been disclosed,
according to a recent report published in a Jacksonsville newspaper.

Meanwhile, Hornsby says he has to shortage of teams that are showing
interest.

It's almost like it was last time (he was recruited), he said. Just about
everyone in the SEC has been in contact.

Hornsby was a 6-foot-3, 195-pound prospect with 4.45-second speed in the
40-yard dash coming out of high school. He's playing this season at 200
pounds. He could play strong safety or free safety at the college level.

Hornsby said Thursday he didn't want to talk about the circumstances under
which he left Florida, only saying that he had to leave and that he wants
to continue playing football, possibly at Ole Miss.

I really like Ole Miss, Hornsby said. But, I've been through this (the
recruiting process) before and I want to weigh my options and think things
through and do what's best for me.

Hornsby said that one thing that has increased his interest in Ole Miss is
the team's success this year.

They had a good team last year, Hornsby said. I mean, they almost beat us
then. This year, they've gotten a lot better and are winning some ballgames.
I watched the Florida game on TV (a 31-30 Ole Miss win in Gainesville), and
I loved it. I just wished I had been there.

Hornsby said his East Mississippi Community College team finished 8-1 in the
regular season before losing to Pearl River Community College in the
playoffs.

He said that 2008 Ole Miss signee Randall Mackey, who quarterbacked East
Mississippi this fall, may attend the Louisiana-Monroe game with him.

I haven't told him I'm coming up for the game, Hornsby said. When I do, I
know he'll want to come with me.

Hornsby has two seasons of eligibility remaining. He plans to attend EMCC in
the spring per an NCAA requirement for him to

Based on this quote, I don't think you have to worry about the team...

 

Sophomore cornerback Joe Haden said he realized preparation for this game
was a bit different when he noticed the game plan packet the team received
at the beginning of the week was much thicker than the others this year.

The scouting report is like they've been looking at (the FSU game) the
whole season, Haden said.

FSU isn't a mediocre defense; it is the #7 defense in the country. (The team
is mediocre overall, but that's because of a poor offense.) Anyway, my point
is that this team could beat us if our team, like you, isn't worried at all.
If they take FSU seriously, and I think they will, then we'll do to them as
we've already done to the other highly-ranked defenses we've played. But I
don't take anything for granted in this sport and so I'll continue to be
nervous until the game gets underway.

Well it's all about our team. FSU can't begin to keep up with us if we're on
our game, so the only risk is that we overlook them and come in there
playing flat. It's always possible, but I have a sense that these guys
really took the loss to Ole Miss to heart and that they understand the need
to be mentally prepared for every game. If they were going to go flat, I
think this last Saturday is when they would have done it. 

 

I am nervous too, partly because of the loss of Marsh in a very critical
position, but mostly just because I know the 'holes' will be looking at us
the way we looked at Georgia going into that game. They'll want to win this
so badly they'll have been dreaming about it all week. For a mediocre team,
knocking your biggest rival out of the MNC race would be the highlight of
your year. They'll play a very tough game and won't give up ground
willingly. But, in the end, I think our guys will prepare well, and will be
up for the game. If they do, we'll be fine and yet another leading defense
will have its stats shot all to heck.

Notebook: Meyer veteran of UF-Florida State rivalry



By Edward Aschoff
Gainesville Sun Correspondent

Three games into the Florida-Florida State rivalry is more than enough time
for UF coach Urban Meyer to understand the hatred associated with it.

It's nasty, Meyer said Monday. This is an ugly one.

His team is so amped for Saturday's game in Tallahassee that Meyer admitted
after The Citadel game that some of the veterans on his team had already
turned their focus to the Seminoles by halftime.

Both UF and FSU rank first in their respective conferences in total offense
and the Seminoles are second in the ACC in total defense, while the Gators
sit at third in the SEC.

Meyer said he is expecting to get the best out of FSU's defense and doesn't
see much of a change from its game plan from years past.

It's FSU defense, he said. Schematically, they're very similar to what
they've been in the past. Talent-wise they've been very similar and you
watch them and that's who they are. Very well coached and

Q: How would you describe your first season as Florida State's starting
quarterback?

A: I think I've done a pretty good job. I think last year if you would have
told me that I'd be starting this year and we'd be 8-3 at this point, I
definitely would have taken it. I'm pretty proud of the way I've played, but
I think there's definitely a lot of room for improvement.

Q: When did you learn exactly how big this rivalry is?

A: I've grown up a Florida State fan so ever since I was little I've really
realized how big it is. It's a crazy time and it's a heck of a game and a
heck of a week of preparation and everything. I've always realized how big
of a game it is and how much fun it is going into it.

Q: Your team has plenty to play for, but is the team relishing its role as a
possible spoiler to Florida's national title hopes?

A: Not really. We're just looking at it as another game. It's a huge rivalry
game and there is a chance of that, but we're not really worried about that.
It's another game on our schedule so we can't really make it bigger than it
is. We just got to come out and play like we can play.

Q: You guys fell to Boston College but had a huge win against Maryland last
week. What's the mindset of the team right now?

A: We're pretty excited. We knew going into Maryland that was going to be a
tough game and we had to prepare well. We did and things worked out for us.
We got a little momentum on our side. Going into this week, everyone's up
for the Florida game and everyone's working hard and trying to prepare well.

Q: How has head coach Bobby Bowden helped you develop as a quarterback?

A: He's been such a mentor and a leader to me. I've always looked up to him.
He always has suggestions all the time. He's a heck of a head coach and he's

Football and men's basketball players on the nation's big-time college teams
averaged hundreds of points lower on their SATs than their classmates, and
some of the gaps are so large they call into question the lengths to which
schools will go to win.

The biggest gap between football players and students as a whole occurred at
the University of Florida, where players scored 346 points lower than the

Each team going to a bowl gets allocated money for travel expenses, but with

When you play for the national championship there is a misconception that

Florida is hoping to make $47,400.

According to the budget approved by the University Athletic Association's
board of directors last week, UF will spend $2.42 million on the game and
receive $2.467 million in revenue from the SEC. The rest, as usual, goes
into a pot that includes all bowl revenue and is split by the other 11
conference schools and the league office.

IIRC, there are two flaws with this view.

 

First, it ignores that there are 2 SEC teams in BCS bowls. The added revenue
from the second team is far more important than whether the first team is in
the MNC game or not.

 

Second, IIRC, the split is not even steven. I think that an extra something
(like 1/13th) is carved out from each bowl game/NCAA tourney and added to
the annual payout of the team that went to that bowl. Perhaps this is just
for NCAA tourney, but I recall reading that the annual payout from the SEC
to each team was not identical, and this was the reason.

[gatortalk] Re: Game report?

[Ken Kirkley]

I thought the OU band was vastly superior from what I saw on TV.  I thought
our band with what looked like some spastic movements (I think they might
have been trying to dance), was rather amateurish.  I do like the new
uniforms though.

Subject: [gatortalk] Game report?

 

Can we get a Gatortalk game report from someone who was there?

One question:  Was there a fight at the coin toss?  My brother says one of
the Okies insulted Louis Murphy and he had to be restrained by team mates.

Another question:  Who had the best band?  In the 30 or so seconds we saw
them on tv ours looked clearly superior.

Nic Harris is the player Tebow got the unsportsmanlike penalty on.  He's
also the same guy who did the Darnell Docket on Percy.  

 

Thanks,

Oliver

Hello and welcome to GatorTalk. 

*** THE GATORTALK GROUP HAS MOVED TO GOOGLE *** 

We have been here on Yahoogroups since early 2000, but in the last couple of
years, mail delivery has become a problem. It would take anywhere from an
hour to a couple of days and sometimes, never, for an email to be posted. 

Therefore, although the GatorTalk group on Yahoo will remain intact as a
backup, we moved to Google Groups IN January 2007. You can find us at
http://groups. http://groups.google.com/group/Gatortalk.
google.com/group/Gatortalk.

We'll look forward to seeing you there!

Didn't we end up forfeiting the games in 87 dye to Vernon?

Re: [gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: Gators drop to No. 25

[Ken Kirkley]

If we had one sure fire shooter, we would be a really good team.  
Unfortunately, we have  a few guys (Allen, Barry, Robinson and Leon) that can 
get on hot streaks, but aren't consistent enough to win consistently.

I think this week we will see something me lineup changes, Barry did a good job 
coming off the bench in December, but I sent having the same production in 
January.  Maybe he should start so he gets into the rhythm of the game faster.  
And Egbunu... I think I would rather see Rimmer play more than him at this 
point. Egbunu reminds me of Eugene McDowell, sleeping on the court.

Re: [gatortalk] Recent Visit to Gainesville

[Ken Kirkley]

Yes!

I think most of the improvements were internal in the parts we don't see but 
the athletes use everyday.  From a public perspective, it is all about the club 
level and the new atrium.  Before the Odome had 4 entrances on each corner, now 
there is one main entry.  It is nice, but not that nice...

Re: [BULK] [gatortalk] Polls

If we win out, it most assuredly will be #1...

If we beat Scar tonight and UK on Saturday, we will be in the the top 10. I 
don't think that will happen, too difficult to beat Kentucky at Rupp, 
especially since we aren't 100% healthy.

Re: [gatortalk] #3 seed!

[Ken Kirkley]

Nearly jeopardized?  We had a 12 point lead with 90 seconds left.  Gave up a 
few cheap baskets, but the game I was watching was never in doubt.

This team to me is amazing.  They are playing together as a team about as well 
as you can.  Do they have lapses in the middle of games, yes, but they always 
get it together.   After this past week, I thought this game would be tight as 
there is no way they could play with the same energy and intensity as they have 
over the past two weeks.

Basketball is a marathon, not a sprint.  We are really good, and I think we 
have another step to take.  Mike White will have this team ready to take it at 
tourney time and we have a chance...

Re: [gatortalk] Basketball

[Ken Kirkley]

Well that's one way to look at it...

I look at it and say wow, we just made history by scoring the most points 
against an SEC opponent!  This game is a great testament to this team, yes they 
usually win with defense, but they can also outscore you if needed.

This team is special, the end of the season is going to be fun to watch. Will 
we win out? Probably not, but right now we are in the dance and just playing 
for seeding.  That's a good place to be after the last couple of years.

Re: [BULK] [gatortalk] Egbunu

[Ken Kirkley]

*rimshot* for Jay

While losing Eg hurts, I believe this team will overcome this.  I've read a 
couple of articles saying this loss would be devastating, but it's not like 
Egbunu was all world.  Yes he has finally mad free throws and yes, he was 
having a good game at Auburn.  But he has also been a liability at times this 
year.  With Rimmer and Hayes stepping up and getting Gak back in time for the 
tournament, we can still play our game.

[gatortalk] Scott Strickland booster presentation

[Ken Kirkley]

I went to see Scott Strickland speak to the Gator boosters in Orlando tonight, 
nice event.

I went alone and when we walked in I approached a group that was talking and it 
happened to be Stumpy Harris, pretty cool.  Then before the event got started, 
I was standing near the back and lo and behold, The HBC is coming in, got a 
chance to chat with him and thank him for all the years of enjoyment.

The event itself was interesting, it was billed as an update on the facilities 
and there was a folder on each seat with artist renderings of the baseball, 
softball and football facilities.  Coach Spurrier got up to talk first and 
introduce Scott.  He told a couple of stories, one in particular on the origin 
of the God is smiling on the Gators phrase.

When he was coach, Jamie Speronis would organize the walk on tryouts.  One day 
Coach was walking around the field and came across this player and asked him 
his name and where he was from.  The player says I'm Tremayne Allen and I'm 
from Nashville.  Coach says, what brought you all the way to Florida?  
Tremayne's response was God was smiling on me to which Coach responded me too, 
and the Gators.   

Scott (he was asked during the session what to call him and he said Scott), is 
a really likeable guy and you can tell he knows his stuff and will get things 
done.  He started off talking about the $100+ million we have spent in facility 
upgrades over the past 16 months, but also talked about the $250+ million left 
to go!  He has been around quite a bit with stints at Auburn, Tulane and Baylor 
before Miss St.  Greg Byrne, the new AD at Alabama is the one who hired him 
back to Miss St as Associate AD.  Scott was promoted to Ad when Greg left.

The Q had a few good questions, one about why we don't schedule better teams 
rather than 2 patsies, one about noon starts for September  games and one about 
the ref bias against Florida.  The last one got HBC fired up and he grabbed the 
mic to basically say yeah, it's true.  He said every time he would complain, he 
would get reprimanded, but it would start to even out after that for a while...

Afterwards I asked Scott where he thought we ranked as far as football 
facilities in the SEC, while he didn't answer directly it was clear he thought 
we were way behind and in the bottom 1/3.

All in all it was fun, they showed highlights from all sports fro this past 
year on the big screens before and after and had nice appetizers and a cash 
bar.  They are doing the same in Jacksonville next week and in Tampa the last 
week of the month.

Re: [gatortalk] Scott Strickland booster presentation

[Ken Kirkley]

Forgot one - he was asked about the coaching hires.  His basic answer was he 
doesn't meddle in coaching decisions, that if he is going told Mac accountable, 
he can't be micromanaging him.  He did go on to say that recruiting is priority 
1 right now and the coaches may be hired before NSD, but not at the expense of 
finishing the class up (he did say that if hiring someone would help with 
recruiting, it would be done).

I have already seen a tweet from Thomas Goldkamp (247 Gator beat reporter) that 
said Mac won't be hiring until after NSD.  This was not said, so I'm sure there 
will be noise in the system in the next few days over this 'decision'.

What I take from this is Mac knows who he is getting and the recruits that need 
to know do.  Scott did say that we have our full compliment of recruiters in 
the field as we tapped some of the internal staff to fill those rolls.

Re: [gatortalk] Scott Strickland booster presentation

[Ken Kirkley]

There were two coaches hired after NSD (two years ago?) but a bit different 
circumstances.  Rumph was hired after NSD  because the other coach didn't leave 
for the NFL until then.  Can't remember the other guy, but that was one that 
was open before NSD.

Also, keep in mind, many of the assistant coach contracts have significant 
penalties and/or bonuses to stay until after NSD.  That is why you always see a 
lot of assistant moves afterwards.

[gatortalk] I love Coach Mac!

[Ken Kirkley]

First question in his press conference today was:
“Can you tell us the official diagnosis on Luke and what is the timetable for 
his return?”
 
Coach Mac: “He has a bum leg and he’ll be back sometime…”
 
Love it.
 
He did announce that practices are closed completely to the media this week.
 
Ken
