My post was just for fun. I think he will stick around another 5 years but you never know and after we went out and hired Ron Zook after Spurrier and went thru those crappy years, we better have a short list prepared.
Betting service names Florida Gators coach Urban Meyer co-favorite for Notre Dame job
GAINESVILLE -- Yes, you can even bet your hard-earned money on who the next coach of Notre Dame will be. Offshore betting service Bodog.com just emailed me the latest odds, and guess what? Florida coach Urban Meyer is leader out of the gates along with Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly. Here are the ...
I don't think Urban Meyer will leave so soon but I think eventually he will just like every other coach these days. I think the amount of early success he has had will eventually put pressure on him. If he were to leave today this would be my list of possible replacements:
1. Jon Gruden
2. Brian Kelly
3. Butch Davis
4. Mike Shannahan

Best thing about this team is that Calathes is gone. Guy had a bunch of stats but when crunch time came around the guy was a choker.He was a terrible leader too. Didn't make anyone around him better. This team looks more balanced.
Florida Gators basketball showing signs of improvement despite shooting woes
GAINESVILLE -- Through two exhibitions and two regular-season games, I still don't know what to make of the Florida Gators basketball team. This team remains somewhat of a mystery and even UF coach Billy Donovan probably doesn't know what to fully expect from his new-look Gators. Is this team be...
I'm going to take class roll and see who is here:
Sarasota Cane-absent
MTX Cane-absent
Bigbird1966-absent
They probably went to New York early to get good seats at the Heisman presentation so they can cheer on Jacory. I'll look for you guys on tv.
A precursory comparison of Florida's and Alabama's defenses
GAINESVILLE -- Back in Gainesville. Took me awhile to get out of Columbia, S.C., on Sunday. Sorry to all for not having a live blog of the first basketball game. The Gators defeated Stetson 74-46. More on basketball later. First, a look back at the football game. Here's a link to today's story i...
Hey Cane fans stop whining about posters on your site. Follow Sarasota Cane, MTX Cane Jahomo and Ibis1966. They live on the Gator blogs. They are usually the first to post on the Gator blog or any Gator story. I don't even think they post anything on the UM blogs.If those guys weren't posting constantly over there, I doubt Gators would be posting on the UM blogs.
Injury report for Virginia: James, Phillips probable
The Miami Hurricanes still have a significant number of injuries they are dealing with. But this week it looks like at least a couple guys could be coming back against Virginia. Running back Javarris James, who missed the Wake Forest game with a lower extremity injury, has been listed as probabl...
Jo,
Isn't it obvious now that the Georgia rb came out and said what he said that this was two sided?
Since you are part of the media the reported this as a one sided affair, it's only fair that you write a story on Brandon Spikes and his career at Florida highlighting the positives including coming back for his senior year when he could be in the NFL making millions especially after what happened to Bradford.
Running back Washaun Ealey says Florida Gators Brandon Spikes should not be suspended
Georgia Bulldogs running back Washaun Ealey said on Tuesday that Florida Gators middle linebacker Brandon Spikes should not be suspended for Spikes' apparent attempt to gouge Ealey's eyes. Ealey told reporters on Tuesday that Spikes "shouldn't, I think, get suspended at all." Florida Gators coac...
The only delusional fans are UM fans.
Your run came to end long time ago. UM can't even win the ACC.I think the ACC is probably going to kick you guys back to the Big East soon. What a sad state of affairs. Yeah yeah I know next year you'll do it.Coker did it. We are young. Truth is Randy Shanningans is a joke. That guy can't coach peewee football. He can't even call timeouts. Truth is teams like Wake Forest can compete with Miami every year.
What's it going to be this year? Cash for Gold Bowl? UM fans can walk into the stadium without paying simply by handing in their gold teeth.
It's always funny when a UM fan talks about class.Even your nickname "The U" is ghetto.
Should UGA linebacker Nick Williams be suspended for his cheap shot on Florida Gators Tim Tebow?
GAINESVILLE -- Brandon Spikes is under a lot of heat for his dirty play against Georgia. Florida coach Urban Meyer is being scrutinized for only suspending Spikes for a half. Why did Meyer go easy on Spikes? Who knows? While Gators fans think of good excuses for Meyer or debate whether or not Me...
Jo,
This is the film of the series where Spikes pokes the Georgia RB. Follow the series and at the 1:15 Spikes tackles him and gets an elbow to the face. You have to slow it down to catch it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U5EJ4Hc-4Q&feature=player_embedded
It's obvious from the start of the game that Georgia had a dirty game plan. The play where Spikes gets his helmet knocked off and looks like he got poked also, how does the Georgia players hand end up inside his helmet? One thing is to get it ripped off another is to get it taken off by hands inside your helmet.
Of course Tebow isn't going to cry to the media. When has he been a guy that comes out and crys to the media? But when asked about the Spikes play he did say something like "nothing Spikes did Georgia didn't do" meaning they went after peoples eyes also.
Another fact anyone failed to mention was the fact that Spikes isn't known as a dirty player. This guy has been at Florida 4 years and when have you heard of Spikes being dirty? Forget that he is a good player, the fact is Spikes has been a clean player his whole career at Florida but noone mentions that.
Hey MTX-Cane, media is a business.They need to sell papers and subscriptions to make money.That's how they make a living.They need to get people's interest.People are interested in bringing the Gators down. Its a universal thing. When someone is doing well people want to see them fail. It doesn't always mean what they say is true. Just like Miami is still known as Thug U accross the nation largely because of the media. I know that Miami has been clean under Shannon but that doesn't make for a good story.
I never said Spikes play should be accepted. But if you watched the game it was a dirty one all around. The fact the Georgia played dirty should have been reported just as much. It was reported one sided.

I agree with Gator Palooza from yesterday. Jo, you reported the Spikes incident as if was a one sided affair.This story about Tebow getting hit doesn't mean anything. Spikes got hands under his facemask that caused his helmet to come off and obviously got poked but you mentioned nothing about that. There was also a clear elbow to his chin on a tackle by the Georgia running back right before the poke happened but nothing was mentioned either.Tebow was also seen on the sidelines floushing out his eye. What do you think happened to him? Not saying you needed to say the Spikes was right for retaliating but saying it was an emotional game doesn't cut it. You should report the complete picture and let people interpret for themselves.Not just paint one guy responsible like the rest of the media. That's not journalism. I expect two dumbf$cks like Sarasota Cane & MTX Cane to write garbage like that.

Check out the elbow the Georgia running back throws at Spikes at the 1:15 mark of the tape. Slow the tape down and there is a clear elbow.
First they ripped his helmet off and poke his eye than he gets an elbow to the chin and he should just sit there and take it. Next time eat his eye ball.
Spikes suspended for first half against Vanderbilt
UPDATE TO THIS STORY! Here's a link to my breaking news story about the Spikes suspension with quotes from the SEC. It's been up for about four hours now but here's the link all the same. LINK! GAINESVILLE -- Brandon Spikes released this statement through the University of Florida sports inform...
MTX Cane,
If you had actually watched the game you would realize that Georgia played dirty the whole game. Spikes got caught retaliating. I have no problem with him giving the other team a taste of its own medicine. Thats why you Cane clowns have no credibility over on these blogs. You don't comment on the complete picture. Again you are a sissy girl and don't belong here. Go back to the koolaid blogs and talk about how great your one point mickey mouse win was.
It's pretty bad when Wake Forrest kicks your team butt up and down the field.

MTX-CANE,
Your opinion doesn't matter. As long as we keep winning and get a chance to play for the Crystal Ball.
Spikes retaliated and got caught. It's only sisies like you that don't understand that.
Again you are pathetic. Go to the koolaid blogs and praise Jacory "hail mary" harris.
ESPN and the whole nation knows your team as THUG U. And that will never change.
Media types calling for suspension of Florida Gators Brandon Spikes
GAINESVILLE -- Keep an eye (sorry, had to write it) on this Brandon Spikes eye-gouging story today as it develops. On Sunday afternoon, SI.com writer Andy Staples called for Spikes' suspension. On Monday morning, Birmingham News columnist/SEC writer Jon Solomon wrote that Spikes should be suspe...
MTX-Cane whats your point of coming on here? You just come to critize and talk garbage.
Does that make you feel better about your team which can barely get by Wake Forest? In my book people like you are losers. Just like Sarasota Cane. Pure losers.

Thanks for the update MTX-Cane.
Maybe you should be thanking your lucky stars that Harris was able to hit 4 hail mary's in row on that last drive.

Spikes got hit illegally by Georgia the whole game. He also got poked in the eye. I have no problem with retaliation. Cane fans go to your sorry blog and cry there. You are ALL a bunch of punks.
No need for eye gouging, Brandon Spikes. You're better than that!
GAINESVILLE -- For the second season in a row, Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes had an amazing game against Georgia. He had 10 tackles and an interception return for a touchdown on Saturday. All that hard work will probably be overshadowed by one dirty play, though. Check out this YouTube.com v...

Suggestions for Florida Gators Tim Tebow's Halloween eye black: Gator Clause calls upon the Book of Revelations
GAINESVILLE -- Here's a little taste of my feature story in tomorrow's paper, which basically takes a few shots at Florida's excitable fan base. He'll never do it, but Tim Tebow should scribble a Bible verse from the Book of Revelations into his eye black on Saturday. Reason 1: A fittingly sarca...
THESE WORDS FROM BIGBIRD1966:
"Jacory is a legit Heisman candidate. UM is back and will be in a BCS bowl this year. "
What's you record bigbird1966? I heard you get a pretty certificate for finishing third in the ACC. What's it going to be Emerald or Midas Bowl?
Go back to the UM blogs,they are serving all you can drink Koolaid.
EMAILS I GET: How do you improve the Gators' offense?
This email comes to us from Daniel Fassman, a Gators fan who is genuinely concerned about UF's perceived offensive struggles. Daniel, using the power of his iPhone, writes: I would like your opinion on the offense...Why not put Demps and Rainey in the backfield in a Wildcat? Also, more screens o...
delusional cane fans,
Go back to you koolaid UM blog. Your opionions are worthless. You are the same guys saying Miami was back and Spongebob was a Heisman Candidate.What a joke. You got lucky against FSU and the Sooners played without their QB so count your blessings you aren't 3-4.It's pathetic when you can't even win the ACC. Yeah i know jacory is young, Coker messed everything up blah blah excuses excuses.The only thing you have left is to sit around and hope the Gators lose.Pathetic. Hate Tebow all you want but he is a better college player than any UM player to ever play.
Will Florida Gators Tim Tebow still win the Heisman Trophy? Gator Clause prediction: Yes. Will Tebow deserve the Heisman? Gator Clause answer: Yes.
GAINESVILLE -- By Tim Tebow standards -- pretty much the highest standards known to man and the American Dream -- the Florida Gators quarterback hasn't played his best football in the past two games. Tebow lost two fumbles against Arkansas and tossed two interceptions against Mississippi State....
Jo:
b. No person subject to the rules shall strike an opponent with his foot or
any part of his leg that is below the knee.
c. There shall be no tripping (Exception: Tripping the ball carrier is not a
foul).
There are some exceptions but they don't apply.

After watching the Arkansas game i thought that the trip on Rainey was illegal and shouldn't have been a fumble. To my surprise it looks like College Football rules allow the ball carrier to be tripped. Sounds crazy but that's what I found.

I think alot of people will disagree with me but the defense has earned the right to high step. They have won plenty of games this year on their own. Just keep the ball in front of you next time you are high stepping Doe.
On the redzone topic, why don't we just get into eye formation and run between tackles? I don't think once you get to the five yardline you need to be calling that many different plays. I guarantee that if Moody gets the ball on the 5 yard line he will score in two tries. I think we are making it more complicated than it has to be.
On second thought, Florida Gators linebacker Dustin Doe is a "bonehead"
GAINESVILLE -- Good Monday morning, Gatorland. Had a long travel day on Sunday getting out of Mississippi. Isn't it bizarre when you're in some random city for a connection flight and you run into someone you know from a completely different part of the country. That happened to me on Sunday. I ...
I guess the fix is on in professional baseball too. How many bad calls have there been in the baseball playoffs this year?
How many bad calls do you see in the NBA every year? One player drives and gets a fould called every time and another less popular player drives and gets no call.
Human error is part of officiating every game. There are bad calls in every football game. The Doe fumble could have been over turned had there been a goal line camera but no conference has a goal line camera so that call would be a touchdown in all conferences.There was no way to over turn it because you can't see where the ball is relative to the goal line. It looked like a fumble but there wasn't 100% proof that it was. We got calls against us also that no one talks about. The Rainey trip against Arkansas when he fumbled. And the Stamper blow to head when he wasn't even looking and was having his head pushed down by the lineman. That should have been a no call. Florida was going to win both those games regardless of the calls.
Crazy game at Mississippi State ends with a 29-19 UF victory
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Pretty exciting game here in the beautiful state of Mississippi. Florida defeated Mississippi State 29-19 on Saturday at Davis Wade Stadium. Here's a link to my game story in Sunday's Miami Herald. LINK! A record crowd of 57,178 watched Florida quarterback Tim Tebow tie form...
Hey Raw Pimple, without a drop pass by FSU and Bradford not playing where would UM be? 3-3. Everyone gets breaks whether they are injuries, bad calls or missed opportunities. There are bad calls in every game. The pass interference was legit, the corner didn't turn around in time and ran into the receiver (I figure you can't understand that one because you are still crying over the call against Ohio State which was clearly pass interference). The personal foul shouldn't have been called but it was. The Rainey fumble which would have been a touchdown was a clear trip that wasn't called so guess what we got screwed.
Is Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow losing ground in the Heisman Trophy race?
GAINESVILLE -- According to ESPN, Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow is losing ground in the race for the Heisman Trophy. In a poll of 15 ESPN.com staffers, Tebow trails Alabama running back Mark Ingram by one point this week in the website's Heisman Watch feature. LINK! Tebow rushed for 69 ya...
How about the trip on Rainey that caused a fumble? Did they comment on that? That would have been a touchdown for Rainey.
Notebook: Basketball poll, blown calls, players of the week, Urban's champions club, Gators injury report
The University of Florida men's basketball team was predicted to finish fifth in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference on Monday by league reporters. (FYI: Gator Clause does not vote in preseason polls. Pointless.) In a related bit of news, UF returning starters Chandler Parsons, D...
