    Sharing some good news

    I've been away from the board for most of the last few months, just one of those deals where you hit a really busy time in life. But I wanted to check in and brag a little about a few things that have happened since I've been "gone." First, my twin nephews, Douglas and Dallas Connell, signed...

    Will Grier suspended rest of season for taking PEDs

    Gainesville radio has mentioned this twice now. Mac's press conference was moved from 11:45am to 2:30pm, and a caller to the Dooley/Collette show said something about Will Grier being suspended due to testing positive for steroids. That sounded outlandish and I wasn't going to repeat it, but...

    Chad Grier comments on the UT game

    Good read from Will's Dad: "You know that feeling when know something is going to happen? I’ve seen every game Will has ever played. I can’t tell you how many times that when things look hopeless he does something amazing and finds a way to win. He has that “it” factor — he hates to...

    UT fans talking about storming the field in the Swamp

    I can't think of a worse insult than to have a bunch of creamsicled twig-chewers storming the sacred, hallowed grounds of the Swamp. Those bozos are actually seriously discussing this on their boards and in their threads. UT's beat writer for the paper of record in Tennessee, John Adams, even...

    Treon Harris to start Saturday

    Looks like it, at least if you judge by the consensus among those who follow Gator football closest. Goldkamp, Nick De La Torre, Zach among others tweeting that it appears Treon is the man. @NickdelaTorreGC: "Treon took all the first team reps again today." Either it's a helluva head fake by Mac...

    Tennessee o-lineman arrested on felony theft charge

    But not to worry, according to their fans, they're still the 2015 SEC east champs already. http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/sports/college/story/2015/mar/26/tennessee-offensive-lineman-coleman-thomas-arrested-theft-charge/295470/

    Most improved players throughout year

    Some obvious choices on defense; Marcus Maye and Jalen Tabor jump to mind. Maye ended up 3rd on the team in tackles, had 3 tackles for loss and became a stud in run defense. He also improved greatly in coverage over the season and seemed to be all over the field yesterday. By year's end, Maye...

    OSU player commits suicide in dumpster

    As great of a coach as Meyer is, he can't seem to steer clear of player-related drama. As we all know, he doesn't handle crises very well personally, now he's dealing with a concussion-related suicide by a player. This player apparently climbed into a dumpster and shot himself, how twisted-up...

    Updated coaching candidates

    We've been speculating for weeks and some coaches have risen, others have dropped some. I firmly believe that UF will always have a good to great defense based purely on our ability to recruit great athletes. Knowing that, we simply MUST find an offensive-oriented coach with an aggressive...

    Colin Cowherd on Florida

    I thought this comment was so interesting it deserved its own thread; "Florida is a real dumpster fire right now - a dumpster fire that is only an hour away from being a great team with the right coach." It's interesting to hear a national take on UF and Muschamp instead of the usual local...

    First order of business for the new coach

    Yes, I realize it hasn't happened yet, but it will. First priorities of the new coach: 1) Stemming the flow of transfers and keeping/adding recruits. I'm sure we'll see some much needed transfers from unproductive players, maybe even Driskel, but there will be some solid players who are...

    Oh by the way

    UT's "savior" Butch Jones, is now 2-8 in the SEC. Amazing! All that gimmicky nonsense he employs is really paying off for them.

    Post-Bama injuries

    And as usual, Bama doesn't just beat us on one Saturday, we feel the effects for several weeks after. Chaz Green has an ankle, Trenton Brown has an ankle, Mike Taylor has a knee, Leon Orr has a knee, Herndon is out for the year (acl). Sounds like Humphries will be back for UT, and Brown and...

    Secondary and quarterback

    I have no confidence in Muschamp coming up with this on his own, but here are a few suggestions. How about putting putting Quincy Wilson or Tabor at corner and move Poole back to Nickel or Safety where he was a solid player for us last year? That gives you experience and a better cover guy at...

    Alabama roll call

    Leaving Atlanta early Saturday morning. I'm either a glutton for punishment, or I'll be witness to one of the great road dog wins in Gator football history, and a possible turnaround to a 4-year downslide. Either way, it's so great to be a Florida Gator! Anyone else going?

    Open Practice #2 - Live Updates

    Full pads, although I don't believe they will scrimmage, but the pads should make it more interesting.

    Open Practice #1 - Live Updates

    Placekickers and punters already on the field working. Muschamp overseeing the kicks. It was funny how the demeanor of the kickers changed from relaxed and playful to intense and serious when Muschamp walked out. Will update as often as I'm able with notes and observations.
