Hahaha look at that ref! "BOY! Where the...oh NO you ain't!!"This guy says, "Hold my beer!"
You know I have always hated the "play recognition" stuff: buckeye nuts and tomahawks on the helmets, take away chains and purses and even the scepter thing. When you make a big play, with the support of your teammates, act like that's what you're on the field for. "I am because We are" is the attitude I am looking for. When you intercept a pass, recover a fumble, or make a tackle for a big loss, its because the other 10 men on the field did their jobs too. Always felt that way about been there, done that ribbons on my uniform too.Nope, the backpack was a horrible! However, I’m thinking a non-cheesy option would be an O&B Gator football. If you steal the ball, you get to “keep” the O&B turnover ball while on the sidelines. Beats the stupid bling at da u and the like. A possible humorous add-on would be to have “I GOT THE BALL!!!” printed on the ball, referencing that scene from “The Replacements.” Classic scene.
There is actual science to validate this. Take away the face shields and hard shells and player naturally keep their heads up while making contact. Of course you wind up with the boxer's nose condition and scars like a Heidelberg fencing student.Continuing right along with my hugely tremendous ideas, I've also thought about how concussions might be minimized if they went back to softer helmets instead of harder ones, so players intuitively stop leading with their heads.
I've said that for years...think Rugy.There is actual science to validate this. Take away the face shields and hard shells and player naturally keep their heads up while making contact. Of course you wind up with the boxer's nose condition and scars like a Heidelberg fencing student.
Watch ALL of this, and I dare you to still be on the fence about Billy Napier.
Look how he leads and loves his players, and they follow and and love him. They are so silent and attentive when he speaks, in the locker room. Look what he has built there. Look at the love of each other that he has inspired in them. If he didn't, who did? That's what a great coach does.
I was wrong to even question if he and his very Southern ways will be relatable to "urban" players in South Florida and elsewhere. He will do just fine with them. I said that before I had watched all the videos I've watched and read all the articles I've read. My only complaint is that the food in the re-education camp was NOT good.
Seriously I take back anything I said making fun of Sling Blade mhm hmmm. I reckon I want me some of them french fried potaters, and six or eight cans of that potted meat if you got any extra. I am all in. This is the just kind of coach we've been needing IMO.

It's literally the post above yoursI don't know if I'm too late with this (I'm not going back to peruse 10 pages on this thread) but SI.com is reporting that both Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly reached out to the Gators for the HC position. What does that say about the optics of how ellite the Gators are? You will/would get major arguements in our little community here on who we should have responded to, no doubt, but personally I would NOT have wanted Brian Kelly. That's a guy whose ony here 15 minutes like Kiffin. As for Riley? Who knows. I'm starting to come around that for the time being and who was available we got the guy with potential. Yeah, its a risk. But nothing risked equals nothing gained.....
Williston_Gator Looks like you beat me to it while I was posting this!"When Florida’s job opened, its officials were alerted that Riley and Kelly were willing to move, sources tell SI. The Gators were already set on their No. 1 target and the coach they eventually hired, Napier. "

that's a glass of sexual chocolate thereOh shi......now I have to go get some Guinness. The beer that eats like a meal.
how was he supposed to leave?With the way Riley left OU and the fact that he isn't worth the money he got, it doesnt change a thing for me.
