Bobcats? I thought Eastside was the Rams.
Trask in the NFL?

Home of Vernon the Mad Max and the Slinger. Remember covering a Buchholz hoops game Maxwell's freshman year. Might have been his first game. Kid was hugely hyped.

They were a relatively new school when I was at the Sun. Rich kids school. They were seen as pampered.
That changed with all the growth on the west side. They got good at just about everything. That's a pretty big school now I would imagine.

That Maxwell game was the only Buchholz game I got assigned to. The game finished around 9:45 p.m., maybe 10. We didn't have laptops and certainly not cell phones back then. If you had a fax, you were high tech.
You either phoned in the copy from a pay phone or drove back to the newsroom. Buchholz is probably the furthest away of the Gainesville high schools from the old location of the Sun, next to the Hippodrome.
Anyway, I'm driving east on some desolate two-lane road when the car in front of me moves into the left lane. I assumed it was preparing to turn left. Nope. It swerved right. I had already committed to pass. Boom. My car was undrivable.
I missed the first deadline but made the second.

I almost wrote something similar. Better you than me. You'll get the likes. I would've gotten stares.

Trask has a better shot at success in the NFL than The Liar does.

He has to leave. He cant take the chance of getting hurt again, splitting time or replaced.

I don't know who would have the better chance, I think both would be successful.
And Back Alley, I want you to go on record denouncing the 2006 and 2008 titles. You have 24 hours or face a ban.

How can I denounce a title? Its an object. It has no sentience. Its not evil nor good. Its just a thing. Denouncing a thing is kinda like lecturing a chair. Its pointless.
I will happily denounce the coach that was in place when they were won. And I will happily say I wish we would have rehired Spurrier rather than Liar. That good enough for you?

Stupid Foley. Should’ve welcomed Spurrier back with open arms.

Had we rehired Spurrier, we'd still be sitting on one NC. That may be fine with you, but I enjoy the titles.
You're a jilted lover, nothing more. There's no reason to harbor such hate for the man at this point.

You really think so? I bet Spurrier would’ve added another - he took consist loser USC to 3 straight 11 win seasons. He still had it.
That said, I loved Meyer here too. Billy D and UM made my college time at UF way better.
