Mike Peterson will miss the rest of the season for the Jags due to a spraine pectoral muscle in last night's game.
ReplyDeleteBlah!!!
Other Gator NFL news - Gaffney picked up by Patriots due to Chad Jackson's nagging hamstring problems. Gaffney was traded from Houston to Philly in the offseason, but did not make the team's final roster cut.
Also, Rex is still a stud.
Peterson to have surgery.
ReplyDeleteRex indeed is a stud. It was awesome to hear him on College Gameday talk about Leak & Tebow.
Vote Chris Leak for Hesiman
ReplyDeleteChris Leak's chances of winning the Heisman in our 2x QB rotation is about as good as Eva Longoria asking me out.
ReplyDeleteLet's just vote for him to keep his poise. I'll take that.
Let's face it, Chris Leak's chances of winning the Heisman are MUCH BETTER than your chances of ever being asked out by Eva Longoria.
ReplyDeleteblah
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, cursed non-gender specific names. Actually we have a few of them.
ReplyDeleteJaime/Jamie
Chris/Cris/Kris
Bruce/Bruce
And I know James William saw that and just laughed. Ha.
ReplyDeleteWhy was the comment of the week removed? it is even funnier coming from Jaime than from Mulford. Plus Jaime's name isn't even his screen name, how do you confuse shiregator with Jaime:)
ReplyDeleteI love this Jemalle Cornelius article.
ReplyDeleteIn case you are confused about the sub header, it looks as if I will be having to put my dog Stanley to sleep on Monday or so because the cancer is starting to get to him.
ReplyDeleteSome tough times for me and James has really been a rock for me on that subject. It brang a smile to my face this morning to see that sub header that James chose.
Yeah, the Gators are all of our pride and joy, but the health and wellness of our friends and families really does the binding.
Anyway, thanks James and Go Gators.
How is Bruce a girl/boy name?
ReplyDeleteYou MUST watch SOS rip his secondary coach at the post-game press conference.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear about your dog Peacock. Loss definitely puts the important things in perspective. It makes the things that bring us joy even more important.
ReplyDelete29-26: The 10 most penalized teams in America (based on penalties per game) are a combined 29-26. In other words, the teams with the most penalties are doing better than the teams with the fewest penalties.
ReplyDeleteThe bottom 10 includes not only the undefeated Mountaineers, but also undefeated Florida, which, as it turns out, is the most penalized team in the country.
That needs to stop.
I tell you, I guess it might just have been cuz Spurrier was our coach and I just wasn't paying attention, but geez, that guy has some attention issues. Can I get some tics and random glares and jibber jabber with that?
ReplyDeleteObviously he was very mad and that affects body language, but damn, he needs some of my meds.
From that video, that program seems to be a debacle. We better bring the house vs. them.
Didn't you find the video hilarious though? That secondary coach must have adjusted his tie and pants about 15 times each! It looked like an Abbott & Costello comedy routine.
ReplyDeleteCome Sail Away
ReplyDeleteNice posts Chris. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, too many penalties Bruce. Meyer agrees with you and said they will be corrected. We shall see.
I felt pretty bad for that secondary coach...and there is something to be said for celebrating/enjoying a victory!!
ReplyDeletePretty funny. You can tell that SOS really wanted to say more and was trying to hold back a lot of comments.
ReplyDeleteSome funny player comments, as stated by SOS.
"I didn't see the ball coach" - Commenting on the cover guy who was all over the UK player in the end zone who caught a TD pass.
"Man, I had that 10 yard out covered though" - USC player comment about a UK receiver who got past the USC cornerback and made a long reception.
SOS is just frustrated because of the talen level he is working with. I mean, 4th and 2 and all special teams players drop back to block for the punt returner. Correct me if I am wrong, but these are just basics.
It is just a matter of time. Spurrier will be getting more and more talent and he will make that USC team a real tough opponent in the SEC east.
bonus video :)
ReplyDeleteI like this one too...
ReplyDelete"We had to punt twice because the officials gave us some nice penalties that no one in the ball park could see. But I I'm sure... that we committed those.
That is classic Spurrier and one of the reasons I liked him. He didn't give a figgity F@%$ about who he might offend.
ReplyDeleteI'm sailing away ... set an open course for the virgin seeee....
ReplyDeleteAnother insider article:
ReplyDeleteGators succeeding with two QBsposted: Friday, October 13, 2006 | Feedback | Print Entry
In only his second season, Urban Meyer essentially has Florida within two victories of winning the SEC's East Division and possibly playing in the BCS title game.
Two weeks ago, I would have told you the No. 2 Gators' schedule was simply too tough. They're unbeaten halfway through it, though, and face two more big obstacles -- at No. 11 Auburn on Saturday and against No. 16 Georgia in Jacksonville on Oct. 28.
Get through the next two games, and it should be smooth sailing for the Gators. After playing Georgia, which has lost to Florida in 14 of the last 16 seasons and is really struggling on offense, the Gators play at Vanderbilt, at home against South Carolina (and former coach Steve Spurrier) and Division I-AA Western Carolina, and then finish the season at reeling Florida State.
Coming into the season, I didn't think the Gators would be good enough on the offense line and wasn't sure they would be able to run the football effectively.
But Florida has addressed those concerns. And freshman quarterback Tim Tebow is a big reason why. The 6-foot-3, 230-pound native of Jacksonville, Fla., is second on the team with 228 rushing yards and three touchdowns.
When senior tailback DeShawn Wynn missed last week's 23-10 win over LSU, Tebow saw even more action.
When I spoke to Meyer at SEC Media Days in Hoover, Ala., back in August, I asked him about the possibility of the Gators playing two quarterbacks this season.
"That's not going to happen," Meyer told me.
But between then and now, I think Meyer realized Tebow could bring a toughness that his offense might have been missing. Tebow isn't afraid to lower his shoulder and run over defenders. Just ask LSU safety LaRon Landry, one of the country's best defensive backs, who couldn't corral Tebow in last week's game.
"Now it's just how things are going," Meyer said, of how he decides when to rotate Tebow and senior Chris Leak. "Do we need to create some run game? A tailback dropped a ball on the first drive [against LSU] so now whose going to run the football for us? Let's get [Tebow] in the game."
Leak, who is playing well enough right now to be considered a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate, deserves a lot of credit. He ranks 13th in Division I-A in pass efficiency, completing 64.7 percent of his passes for 1,395 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Leak's production would be a lot better if he didn't come out of the game when the Gators get close to the end zone. That is becoming Tebow Time.
Leak hasn't moaned or whined about giving the football to a freshman near the goal line. And Florida is a better football team because of his unselfishness.
"It creates a lot of problems," Gators linebacker Brandon Siler said of his team's two-quarterback system. "It's like game planning for two whole different teams. You have two totally different styles that complement one another. It's like playing two whole different teams. It's going real well for us right now."
If it stays that way, Meyer deserves a lot of credit because other coaches have failed miserably in trying to play two quarterbacks.
