Gators are two over the scholarship limit. Have to cut or have two of them transfer...Brown's gone if these charges are legit, IMO.
Surprising and shocking news: Another Florida Gators football player arrested!
GAINESVILLE -- So, I get back from covering the Daytona 500 and, guess what, another Florida Gators football player has been arrested. Defensive tackle Gary Brown this time. The 19-year-old redshirt freshman was busted in Alachua County on Sunday morning for allegedly slapping one woman and sc...
Joe just an FYI, I THINK that a few of the early enrollees are able to count to the 2009 class. So UF may have more than four open spots in the 2010 class.
Important recruiting weekend could solidify Gators' recruiting class; Find out who's coming to Gainesville and who might commit
GAINESVILLE -- Several of the nation's top-rated recruits will be visiting the University of Florida this weekend. A strong effort by the Gators' coaching staff could solidify Urban Meyer's class of 2010 as the nation's best. Here's the run down of who's coming to Hogtown: Quinton Dunbar, receiv...
I don't know about a "risky higher" but Edwards may very well be a risky hire. And for those hating, I don't think you realize he's coached the Dolphins LBs since 2005...not just in 2009.
Dolphins assistant to be Gators new defensive coordinator
Dolpins inside linebackers coach George Edwards is set to be introduced as the Gators new defensive coordinator, sources have told The Miami Herald. LINK! Seems like a risky hire to me. Edwards has not coached at the college level since 1996, when he was an assistant at Georgia. Can he recruit? ...

Vance Bedford's reported move to Louisville could affect UF recruiting in Miami-Dade, Broward counties
UPDATING THIS STORY... NEW ORLEANS -- If reports about Vance Bedford's unexpected move to Louisville on Thursday are correct, then Bedford's departure for Kentucky's Big East contingent could affect the Gators recruiting efforts in South Florida. In two short seasons as the Gators' cornerbacks c...
No, you're not. It is a legitimate question. To clarify one thing you said - I believe the kids that were expelled for DUI were either multiple offenders or had previous records. Machen is not going to expel someone from the school for one mistake (especially if no one was injured). I had friends of friends at UF who were arrested for DUI or something similar and none of them were ever expelled from school.
That being said, the decision is still questionable. Do you look at the kid's overall three years at UF or do you continue to punish him for one mistake? What we do not know are all of the things in Meyer's quote that he said Dunlap must accomplish before he is officially cleared. That could very well be a lot.
In my opinion, there is no "right" or "wrong" decision here. You can make arguments both ways. From what I can tell, the people best suited to make this decision are the ones who did: Machen, Foley and Meyer.
Good post, jo.
Carlos Dunlap is back, but should he be?
GAINESVILLE -- Junior defensive Carlos Dunlap was recently reinstated to the football team and UF coach Urban Meyer said on Friday that Dunlap will likley be allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl. The decision came down from UF president Bernie Machen and UF athletics director Jeremy Foley. Consider...
What if you took Suh off Nebraska - would they win a game?
You make a good point, but he's not going to win it. It's not an MVP award, it's for the most outstanding individual player.
Tim Tebow a finalist for the Heisman Trophy; Will he win it?
GAINESVILLE -- Florida quarterback Tim Tebow was named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy on Monday along with Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, Nebraska defensive end Ndamukong Suh, Alabama running back Mark Ingram and Stanford running back Toby Gerhart. Will Tebow win the award? His chances are bet...
I agree - his reputation can be salvaged. And he seems like he comes from a good home with strong parents. But Bernie Machen doesn't let some students return to school after a DUI, so are they really going to let Dunlap? Will be interesting. Good post.
How will Gators defensive end Carlos Dunlap be remembered?
GAINESVILLE -- The wounds are still fresh, so this question might sting: How will Florida Gators defensive end Carlos Dunlap be remembered? Dunlap was named a first-team All-SEC defensive end on Monday, less than a week after being arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. ...
No. He'll be 5th.

Yes, he will be suspended.
Carlos Dunlap's DUI likely means extra work for Justin Trattou, Duke Lemmens and William Green
GAINESVILLE -- Florida star defensive end Carlos Dunlap was arrested for DUI early Tuesday morning. This is not a good way to begin championship week. After reading the police report, Dunlap [PICTURED] is lucky to be alive. He was arrested while passed out at a red light around 3:30 a.m. at th...

Florida Gators begin championship week a five-point favorite against Alabama Crimson Tide
GAINESVILLE -- Las Vegas Sports Consultants, Inc., opened the betting line for the Southeastern Conference championship with the Florida Gators a five-point favorite against the Alabama Crimson Tide. Only once during its 22-game winning streak has Florida defeated an opponent by fewer than 10 p...

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 wouldn't say he "voluntarily walked away." His pockets were stuffed by Dan Snyder.
And the spouse of the year award goes to ... Ann Bowden
OK, Florida plays rival Florida State in two-Saturday's time so this blog post is not totally irrelevant to Gators football. Plus, I'm sure a few people who read this blog have spouses, so that makes it doubly worth reading. In Wednesday's USA Today, Ann Bowden, wife of FSU coach Bobby Bowden, o...
Agreed. Good for her.

Gators to try out new uniforms
Some time before the regular season ends, Florida will unveil a special new uniform designed by Nike, that is nearly 40 percent lighter than a normal football uniform. The Gators will join several other schools, including FSU, Virginia Tech, TCU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas, LSU, Missouri, and...
I'm concerned that he can't put up more than 6/7 points or grab more than 4/5 rebounds against these crap teams.
Gators 104, Webber International 53; Some stuff to consider before Sunday's season opener
GAINESVILLE -- OK, here's a possible problem. Florida Gators Vernon Macklin might not be an All-American, guys. He might not be the answer to all of UF's inside problems over the past two seasons. Macklin finished his first exhibition game with seven points and four rebounds in 23 minutes. Chalk...

jo, obviously Shipman is having a great game. But how did he play last week. Is this just him playing one game well or a marked improvement from last season?

From the Orlando Sentinel, just expanding on my previous post:
"And it seems the Gators are starting to get a little testy. Maybe teams just get a little grouchy in November when the expectations balloon. When asked a pretty innocuous question Saturday about winning 19 straight and how some fans might have forgotten the streak's significance, Coach Urban Meyer asked a reporter if he'd ever been 19-0 at anything, then added "I can answer that for you, you have not." That's a pretty unnecessary shot. "
Open letter to Florida Gators fans: Enjoy it while it lasts
Dear Florida Gators fans, I'll keep this open letter to you guys short and to the point: Enjoy it while it lasts. Florida is the defending national champion, the winner of two national titles in three seasons, currently ranked No.1 in the Bowl Championship Series standings, led by a quarterback ...
While Gators fans have certainly been snippy with how things have gone offensively, it is out of a concern for the good of the team. It is saying, "if we can't move the ball now, what happens when we play better teams like Alabama or Texas?"
As far as the majority of the crap Urban has been given recently, the majority of it that makes its way to him comes from people like you (the media) not the fans. So while fans are complaining, Urban is not reading message boards and listening to talk radio. But what he does do, probably, is read the newspaper and watch ESPN.

Florida Gators safety Dorian Munroe doubtful against Vanderbilt with another knee injury

The Gators are on ESPN2 because they are playing a 1-7 team. Clemson vs. FSU is going to be a MUCH better and more competitive game than Florida/Vandy. I love the lack of intelligence that goes on here. It's quite comical.

Good and bad: Five early observations of the Florida Gators men's basketball team
GAINESVILLE -- Checked out the Gators' men's basketball team on Monday night at the O'Connell Center. I was pretty much the only beat writer who showed up, so you're not going to read this ultra-important analysis anywhere else. Seriously, there's not much to take away from a game against Saint ...
Jo is right. No one is a lock.
Unfortunately for you, though, UM is not the team he is looking at other than UF. That would be Tennessee (along with Georgia and Alabama).

As bad as UF needs WR help, I don't think they would even accept his transfer. Unless it was purely to get insight into Kiffin.
Good wrap-up of the basketball game, jo. Just not in b-ball mode yet.
