Engage jumping mechanism
State of the Program: Sh*tty. I mean, what do you think it is?
So you’re saying there’s a chance: With the lab-engineered Tim Tebow now the full-time QB, head coach Urrrrrban Meyer has his prototype spread-option quarterback. Don’t expect Tebow to average *7 yards a rush again this season, but make no mistake, he was uber-effective moving the football in spot time last season, even when everyone in the stadium knew he was going to run it. So. athlete extraordinairre Percy Harvin is one of the most elusive player’s in the nation, and will figure predominitely as a RB and WR; you really don’t know what the hell anyone’s going to do in this offense of kook. As long as he’s healthy, you’ve got a renaissance man capable of taking it to the hiz everytime he touches the ball.
*stat is based on absolutely zero evidence nor even an attempt at research.
Hey, what was all that one and a million talk: The defense that treated Heisman winner Troy Smith like a military father who discovers his son is artsy, has been almost completely depleted. Outside of Jr. DE Derrick Harvey, the Gator D lacks a proven All-SEC caliber player. There’s plenty of young talent and even more speed, but they’ll have to prove they can handle the physicality of this league, and if the Spring was any indication, the Gators have a legit concern.
Schedule: The fact that Florida won it all with last year’s slate is astounding, as this season they get UT, Auburn, UGA, and FSU in the Swamp. However, games at LSU, UK, and SC will certainly test the mettle of this young squad.
Giving back to the community: OL Ronnie Wilson was suspended from school for one year after firing an AK-47 into the air in an attempt to scare a man he was scuffling with at a club. I would say that his tactic likely worked, as AK-47’s tend to do that from time to time. This might be the WASP in me coming out, but where in the hell does one acquire an AK? The KGB? Taliban? My goodness, I remember a time when football players strictly carried pistols and knives. Those were the good ol’ days however, and sadly, it looks like they’re gone.
In conclusion: People seem to be sleeping on Flordia a bit as a contender to repeat their SEC title (certainly the NCAA one) this season. Yes, that defense is gone, and so is Freak-a-Leak, but don’t be so naieve as to think there’s not an abundance of speed and athleticism on the roster capable of keeping the Gators atop the conference. The key is the Diesel-fueled Tebow. Outside of jumpshots, he didn’t have to prove he could keep defenses guessing with his Government regulated arm, but you don’t re-write the Florida prep record books if you can’t throw it. The offense will still be lethal, but it’s up to the young defense to step up if Florida wants get back to Atlanta.
This clip has nothing to do with the football team per-sey, but it’s time to shift our hatred into full gear:

I can’t even see the clip but my hatred for florida is already in full gear.

That “jumpshot” that was played repeatedly is the ugliest successful play I have ever seen. That dance, as well as the dancer are the absolute ugliest things I have ever seen.

losing Leak wasnt exactly a season killer, I believe he is easily replaced.
love the line about treating troy smith like a military father who discovers his son is artsy. Great line.

Nice pic of Tim “Terminator” Tebow…. Although I realize this shot was of the infamous “jumpshot TD pass vs. LUS, I hope he makes common practice of totally disregarding the laces on the football when attempting passes this year.

^^^ oops, LSU ^^^

#2. second that. Hate hate hate. THey’re closing in on Loserville hate.
August 30th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
can someone describe the video for me so I can build on to my hatred as well?
August 30th, 2007 at 3:38 pm
now I don’t like him even more
August 30th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
What’s he doing to Wojo?
August 30th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Is Verne oddly aroused?

UF just lost their Senior Captain Starting Left Tackle who started every game last year. According to Meyer this is a huge blow for an already depleted defense.
Sucks that he got hurt but hopefully we can take advantage and beat them this season.
August 30th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
I hate him.
August 30th, 2007 at 4:33 pm
Left Tackle —- Defensive Tackle or Offensive Tackle, Mr. DEEETROIT?
August 30th, 2007 at 4:40 pm
Defensive. youll have to excuse me. Im not the most knowledgable football fan as the name suggessts.
August 30th, 2007 at 4:46 pm
Noah….what an extreme goofball…..wtf was that dance by the way?
August 30th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
16. i think he was trying to hump an imaginery brad pitt (or a goat).

For some unknown reason, “uber” is quickly becoming one of the most over-used words in the sports blogosphere. Good to see German finally making a comeback after all those years eating liberty cabbage. But what if it’s the beginning of another Nazi attempt at world domination?
August 30th, 2007 at 5:43 pm
Even though every UK fan hates Noah, you gotta admit, that was pretty funny. Just shows how off he really is.
August 30th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
It isn’t funny to make fun of Noah. He obivously has a little
handicap and learning disability. LOL, who cares, go ahead and make
fun of him.
August 30th, 2007 at 6:00 pm
Try E-bay for the AK-47s.
August 30th, 2007 at 8:13 pm
I hope Noah breaks his leg.
August 31st, 2007 at 12:47 am
Noah makes more money in a year than the posters on this board added together. Oh well, make that multiplied together. I’m certain one of you makes NOTHING.

Look, I know that some UK players in the past have been jackasses… Gimel Martinez, Jamaal Magloire, Patrick Sparks, and so on, but man, it is not hard to see how big of a jackass Joakim Noah is.
