I can write about which MP3s I have on my Droid and where I like to eat with my wife.
With that kind of talent you could be hired by the Sun at any moment!

What? This group isn't negative to people's ideas. I don't know where you get off saying that. That's just dumb.

I wouldn't call it ties to the program by any means, but I did accept a job from the UAA for the upcoming fall. I hope to get some sort of information out of it.
What are you going to be doing?

The hard thing about writing any kind of article on Gator football for this site is the lack of access to insider information and the actual players and coaches for quotes. I could easily write some opinion stuff up, but most of it would be conjecture without any real info backing it up.

with all these sites like gator sports,gator country and so on, I believe the info is already outthere. If you are smart and well spoken,I think opinion based stuff could be better than the company line we get from all these insiders.

I have a good idea we can have ox do qna with sasquash and law before or after games or events. Kind of dr jeckel and mr Hyde thing. We would see two sides of the coin on gator football.

I'm paying in exposure. For some, that's enough. For others, it ain't.

I fear a guy like Yorkel could bring articles we weren't familiar with … like the UT opinion on Fanorexia.

As a kid, I tore up many a front yard on my bike while tossing the Lakeland Ledger at door porches.

I'll write about events in the fantasy cornhole league. And boobies.
I heard about that taking place in rural parts of the Panhandle, So GA, and of course Tennessee.
