    Another former Gator gets first MLB win

    Former Gator pitcher Shaun Anderson made his major league debut on the mound this week with a start for the San Francisco Giants. Had a solid first outing. Didn't get the decision but the Giants won. Also has a .1000 batting average as he went 2-2 at the plate. Giants are very bad this...

    QB Wimbush heading from Notre Dame to UCF I guess that increases his chances for winning a National Title.

    Outstanding article on Van Jefferson

    Very good read on Van Jefferson from The Athletic. Think he will be a tremendous addition to the program on and off the field. Not sure of the posting policy since it's a pay site. ‘He had to overcome being my son’: How Van Jefferson... The Athletic has already improved their college...

    Cowherd says Gators are darkhorse to win March Madness

    Contrary to many (most) I enjoy listening to Colin. I recognize that his goal is to get folks fired up so he often creates a controversial take on various issues. I do find him to be more entertaining than most of the sports talk show hosts and that would ultimately be the reason for having a...

    What makes a "good" recruiter?

    Signing Day has produced much conversation about programs that have "good recruiters". And some assessments that the new UF staff doesn't have many (any) good recruiters. Could someone elaborate on what makes a coach a good recruiter at a major program? What attributes, talents or skill sets...

    Not everyone is a football fan

    I realize not everyone is a sports fan in general or a football fan in particular but EVERYONE ought to know at least a FEW facts about the game. Hard to believe that three people can all miss five different questions (0 for 15 total) about the game of football. Alex Trebek is very funny as...

    Mic'd up at the Super Bowl

    Over the weekend ESPN showed their hour long Super Bowl highlight show where many of the players/coaches are wearing a wire. Some interesting comments both on the field and the sideline, particularly as the tide started to turn. My favorite moment was on Atlanta's game changing offensive...

    ESPN appears to have a pumper on staff

    I'm not an ESPN Insider so I can't read the article but I would guess most GC members would find this writer's premise to be close to the edge (or way outside) of the realm of reality. I suppose he must have at least a few valid reasons for his extreme optimism...

    Upsets....

    Quite a chaotic day (and night) for the potential playoff teams. The big surprise for me would be the teams to whom they lost. All three of them fell to inferior opponents. Did anyone pick Pitt, Iowa Or USC or to a lesser degree Georgia? Would not have expected Harbaugh, Dabo and Peterson to...

    What constitutes a "good" recruiter?

    What are the attributes essential to being a dynamite recruiter? It appears players don't just respond to the depth chart and available playing time or facilities or the potential for championships. So, what abilities do coaches need to possess to bring in a stable full of five stars? Do...

    Paging Coach Lebron....

    Interesting article considering the Cavaliers statement that James was "not consulted" about the coaching change and had no say in the matter. Plausible deniability perhaps? http://sports.yahoo.com/news/how-david-blatt-never-stood-a-chance-with-lebron-james-and-his-camp-035612484.html

    Random unexpected use of Gator football image

    Happened upon a Yahoo.com article about ESPN, Apple TV and problems with streaming agreements. I noticed the living room television used in the story featured a picture of a great Gator....but not necessarily the one you'd expect...

    The Experts have spoken.........

    I don't often shout at the radio these days, the maturity of age and all that, but listening to Mike & Mike this morning brought back old habits. Their discussion of the college football playoff was enough to send even a mostly rational Gator fan over the edge. In talking about the "what ifs"...

    Excellent article on the O-line

    One of the most substantive articles I've read in some time from the Gainesville paper. Good writing by Zach and very informative comments by Summers. In-depth discussion of the challenges faced in building a cohesive offensive line. Better days to come for the big uglies...

    Wambach on Cowherd show

    Abby Wambach was on Colin Cowherd's show this morning. During the conversation he mentioned she was a 3-time All American at Florida and she threw out a quick "Go Gators". Colin then said "my buddy Jim McElwain is now the football coach there so I'm back on board with the Gators". He...

    Mel Kiper on Draft Position of UF Underclassmen

    Heard Kiper on ESPN radio this morning responding to a caller from Gainesville (maybe one of you all) asking about where he sees Fowler, Humpries and Moore being drafted. Mel said Fowler could go as high as #8 to Atlanta who badly needs a pass rusher though he didn't think it likely he would be...
