It may not work, but...

TebowDontGo.com is a website created by a Gator alum in order to convince Mr. Tim Tebow to stay in school for one more year. If you think that Tim another year of "academics" under his belt, you should sign the petition.

More Propaganda

A good video about economic stimulus packages and its detrimental effect on the economy.

Also, I have three hours of the softest rock on my computer. Get ready to live! If you are going to be in Gainesville Friday night, be sure to stop by.

"I know that's true. I've seen it. I'm living it."

If you know me, you know I am a big Pete Carroll fan.  In fact, that is where I got the phrase "jacked and pumped." It is a Carroll-ism. He is a super positive coach who is running one of the country's premier college football programs. However, that is not why I like him so much. I read an article about him in LA Magazine last year about the man off the football field. 60 Minutes decided to run a piece very similar to it. It is worth the 12 minutes.

I love it when people use their status to better the world around them.

Topsy-Turvy Gators

The Gators are losing Dan Mullen and there is a lot of talk about his replacements. There was a great piece in Saurian Sagacity* about potential replacements.

Some interesting names are being bantered around as replacements on the offensive staff, including Kerwin Bell. The idea of bringing Kerwin back to the University sounds great to me, especially when you consider his relationship with John Brantley – the next great QB at Florida. Kerwin was also be an excellent asset in recruiting the middle and northern parts of Florida (remember Mullen wasn’t big in recruiting). If Tim decides to stay, you would like to think Kerwin could help Tim in the passing game. If Kerwin isn’t the man, I would like to see Greg Brandon get the call. For those of you that don’t know, Brandon was Meyer’s OC at Bowling Green and got the job when Meyer left for Utah. Meyer and Brandon developed Meyer’s version of the spread-option. In my opinion, this would be the fit with regards to continuity.

I think both of those options would be very positive for the Gators. It would be interesting to see these develop further because, to be honest, I was never really too keen on Mullen in the first place. Granted, I was being a spoiled Gator fan a lot of the time that I criticized him. But I was not the only one baffled by some of his decisions. How many times over the past couple years have we been dumbfounded by our offenses inability to perform despite the level of talent? I'm not saying we are going to be better off or that Mullen is a bad coach--the OC for a team that has been to the BCS championship game 2 of the past 3 years-- but that we are not in as dire straits as a lot of people think.

* As a footnote, Saurian Sagacity is a great blog! I would suggest it to any Gator fan or college football enthusiast. The writer does a great job of creating stats that better represent the state of the game. Also, he is a UF alum...which is fine.

Why I Love Percy

Anyone who does not think Percy Harvin is one of the best players in the country is stupid or crazy or both. I think that he will prove that when he is drafted this coming April in the first round. Despite being one of the most dynamic players in the country, Percy is not at all frustrated about lack of touches.

“If I was with another team, I would be putting up way bigger numbers. But I’ll take a championship over a Heisman any day...This team, we have a lot of playmakers that I don’t even care (about touches). Like Tim said, if I need to take over a game, I feel I can do that. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. You can take all my numbers away.”

Maturity is playing a big part in the Gators success as of late. It is great to see a junior come out and say this because it really makes a statement. Big egos have no place on the Gators. Only players who work hard and do their job. 

A great example of this is David Nelson. Over the past three seasons, David Nelson has found his only playing time comes about during blowouts or on blocking assignments.  But it seems all that hard work has paid off because he is on Urban's good side as of late. Nelson had his best game of his career with 3 catches and a touchdown against 'Bama. I have to say, I am pumped about Nelson contributing as a senior next year.

Go Gators!
