Dull
Outside of the recent news from the Buccaneers, the TALB football world has been mainly quiet. Too quiet, as they say. Which is disappointing. I mean, on the one hand it’s good not to have to write about a Gator player who ran afoul of the local constabulary. But then again, what’s the off-season without some spice. Unless you count the goings-on at the Girls’ School Up North. Even that isn’t as exciting as it should be. Why? Because, perversely, I don’t want the Criminoles to get punished off the field. I want them to take their licking on the field.
Noley Noley Noley
Seriously, nothing would make me happier than to see the ‘Noles return to some kind of prominence. A rivalry isn’t that fun when one side isn’t even trying. Granted, I did enjoy beating the Bulldogs annually during the 90’s; for a while. And the recent slump on the Seminoles’ part has only lasted four or five seasons. The truth is, if they don’t get out from under this cheating scandal, I can’t see them returning to glory for another half decade.
Shenanigans At The Bill Heavener Football Complex
First, my Gators go and post a set of 40 yard dash times that are, ahem, of questionable veracity. Then they follow it up a few short weeks later with a transcription of “The Promise” bolted to the side of the building. I’m as big a fan of The Tebow as any other Gator, but at least let the kid graduate before we go immortalizing his words.

Fellow UF alum and US Congressperson, Corine Brown decided to use some of her time in front of her esteemed colleagues to stumble through an embarrassing tribute to the Gators.
Speaing Of pwned
While I lament the fact that the UF-FSU rivalry might be in for a downswing as the ‘Noles find new and interesting ways to stunt their comeback, their fellow whipping boys at Georgia are exploring ways to not get their asses handed to them south of the Florida-Georgia state line. That is, ways to have the ass-handing done in their home state. So far not much has been done about not having the Gators beat them. Cart before the horse?
I guess I was wrong. There were a few things going on to talk about. And hey, Lane kept his yapper shut for a couple of weeks in a row. How about that?
