His most recent tweets make it sound like he will be back playing for us. Hope it works out. He was by far our best O-lineman before the injury.

I hope you are correct. With him and Sharp at tackle and Ivey playing guard our OL goes from average at best to very good

People forget about Tyler Jordan. He may be our best OL this year IMO and he was at times last year.

IMO, even though he rarely started, Almighty Rod was the best player from the prior year... yet we didnt play him. :Facepalm:

Imagine if we had recruit offensive line depth from 2008 on and could have actually given Tripp the medical redshirt he needed last year instead of ducttaping him and sending him out with only one functioning shoulder?

Could have given the Freshmen the redshirts they needed last year.

"Don't shoot the Messenger" on this info but I was just told by one of my friends (at UF) that we can put this "Rod Johnson comeback" to bed! So...believe it or not, i dont care,just thought i would share.

According to text I got Rod was cleared but it wasn't by anyone at UF. It was by a outside doctor Rod & His family chose. Anyway... After Johnson let it be known (on social media) he had been cleared UF sent him a text telling him "he had a drug test at 9 am the next morning". Johnson told UF "he was home and couldn't make it the next morning" UF then told him "it was mandatory and by him not being there for the test could result in him losing his scholarship" He then told them "I'm not driving up for the test because I'm transferring" UF then told Johnson "he still needed to take it and for him to transfer they had to release him first".

According to my buddy they haven't pissed him since last spring so according to him they had to know something pretty serious for them to go this route. He is suppose to meet with Randy Shannon sometimes this week so we'll see what happens.

I don't understand why he is putting out these types of tweets if he supposedly stated to UF that he was transferring and refused to drive back to campus for a piss test.?.?.

That is a great question. Maybe we should go back and have the messenger ask his buddy? Also find out if Rod was in a boot..

LOL... Lake Gator "disliked" my post. It was a serious question based on Marianna's post from an "inside" source.

I got a dislike from LG a couple of weeks ago on a post that seemed even more benign than yours. IDK, maybe it was a mistake? Is what it is, I ain't got time to worry about that.

We can settle this right now about Rod. Lets get on the phone with the person that has the most inside knowledge of Gator Football... Pat Dooley...heck he can even find out what is on Rod's playlist.
