This isn't Gators Football, but I'm looking forward to the UK-UF game tonight on ESPN. I think it should be one hell of a game.

I'll be rooting for UK of course.

we're kind of up and down this year. calathes leaving was a real shot in the nuts. i still can't believe we lost to garbage juice south alabama. we've got some good recruits coming in next year with young and prather though.
 
John Calipari has always been one of my favorite coaches (Bobby Knight and Jerry Tarkanian being the others), so I'd like to see him do well.
 
calipari is kind of a weasel but i don't necessarily dislike him. loved tark. dean smith is probably my all time favorite - with knight being a close second.
 
Tark was fantastic, it's too bad he got railroaded by not only the NCAA, but his own administration. He was a winner at every place he went, either at the JCs, Long Beach State (Had them at #4! LBSU!), and UNLV. Hell, he even did a bang up job with Fresno State. Just had a target on his back.

It took years for UNLV hoops to recover, and they're still not at the level he had them at. Long Beach sucks, and Fresno State is awful.

I always felt he got a really horse**** deal.
 
yeah, tark was great and he got gang raped with all those infractions. there's penalizing someone for fugging up and then there's making it impossible for anyone to ever be successful again. he got used. i loved watching him sit there chewing on that towel.

I got a text message this afternoon that there's rumors swirling that Urban Meyer had an affair with a 23 year-old student. He's walked away to "save his marriage." I haven't heard anything else. Who knows. Could be some garbage rumor. Neither would really surprise me.

I haven't heard anything related to Bob Stoops. I think Jack Del Rio gets that USC job though.

Yeah...just a bunch of rumors. Shelley Meyer sat down with a reporter friend to sort out all these ridiculous rumors. Here are the comments about this particular ridiculous rumor:

This one had its origins with Paul Finebaum, who compared Meyer to Tiger Woods on ESPN’s Outside the Lines a day or two following the change of heart. Since then, that rumor has added more legs than a centipede and has traveled in several different directions, none of which are anything close to the truth according to Shelley.
“There hasn’t been anything like a Tiger Woods meltdown, and that’s whether in his professional or private life,” Shelley said. “I don’t know why people can’t understand that this is about Urban and his health. That’s it. There is nothing else to it.
“Urban had the chest pains after the Alabama game and he really started thinking about Randy Walker (Northwestern football coach) and Skip Prosser (Wake Forest basketball coach), who both of them died of a heart attack and they were still young men in their 50s. Urban is 45 with three kids that he loves and he doesn’t want to wind up like those two guys. Randy Walker was one of his friends so when he had the chest pains, this really hit home to him and it made him realize he had to make some changes. I think the suddenness of it all has made people think there had to be something more to it than just health problems, but that’s all there was to it.”
She went on to add that the relationship with Urban is a real partnership with no secrets, now or ever.
“Since we first met, the relationship has been based on trust. We don’t have secrets. None. We talk about everything and that’s the way we’ve always done it. This is all about health issues and he has leveled with me about his health and we’re in the process of doing something about it. I know people are out there trying to make something more of this, but I know in my heart that this is 100 percent about health issues and when his health is good, he will come back to coach the University of Florida football team once again.”

so much for the whole meyer situation screwing us in the recruiting department. we are cleaning house. looking good so far.
 
While we're getting close to the best recruiting class since they started tracking em...this has got to easily be the best Defensive recruiting class during that time period. 5-stars all over the place on D. Scary.
