November 2009
A lot of rumors that Florida will wear special Nike uniforms for one or maybe two of their final home games. Could this be some proof?

The 28th ranked quarterback prospect by Scout.com for the Class of 2010. Burton led his team to an 11-1 record and the second round of the state playoffs. Burton is a dual-threat quarterback. Burton completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 1,699 yards and 14 touchdowns. The Venice High QB also rushed for 1,173 yards and scored 28 TDs on the ground.
The complete package at RB. Brown can run inside or outside and has the speed to be a threat to take it the distance at any time. Mack should be ready to see the field early as Tebow moves on and the John Brantley era starts.
Coach Urban Meyer has made SEC history again. This time he is the first coach to have the strong arm of Mike Slive hand out a fine for the SEC referee gag order. Meyer got a $30,ooo fine for these words:
“I don’t want to step out of line, [but] there should have been a penalty, in my opinion. Obviously it should have been. You have to protect quarterbacks. That’s the whole purpose. It’s right in front of the referee.”
You can find more from around the web here on the fine.

Seems that the world of college football on CollegeFootballTalk.com would be pretty dull if it wasn’t for Coach Meyer and Brandon Spikes. I guess the Alabama vs. LSU game isn’t worth covering as the Gators have five of the eleven headlines on their home page late Wednesday night.
Lane Kiffin still can’t keep the Gators off his mind. From the Knoxville News Sentinel:
When asked of Meyer’s comments on the SEC refs UT Coach Lane Kiffin responded, “Urban Meyer? Criticized the officials, wow, that will be interesting. We’ll see.”
A few days after the Brandon Spikes eye-gouge, I can see the situation a bit more clearly. When this event initially occurred, I was extremely disappointed and said that any Gator, much less the leader of the defense, who would stoop to this level of play was shameful. After watching the game for the second time and focusing on Spikes, I do see what led him to lose focus. To quote Chris Rock, “I’m not saying he should have eye-gouge Washaun Ealey, but I understand.”
Florida Gators v Georgia Bulldogs, Nick Williams dirty and intentional late hit / cheap shot on Tebow WELL AFTER the ball was handed off to Jeff Demps. This, at just about seven minutes into the start of the game.
