    Women make guys do crazy things. There is no excuse for it but I wonder if the concussion had something to do with it. Also She has come out and said she did not even want him arrested.


    Rainey is not a RB he is a WR. Debose does not play the Percy spot he plays the X WR behind Deonte Thompson. Robert Clark the true freshman who has been very impressive (He was here for Spring practice too) will take over. He had 1 catch for 15 yards in the USF game.



    Also Chris Rainey is no longer with the Gators at the moment per Steve Addizio the OC

    Probably suspend him for the UT coin flip.

    Gators will get better and better as the year goes on...they are a young team, plenty talented, and Brantley has all the tools......but IMHO they are not near last years team and not up to typical Gator standards of the last 5-6 years even on their upside....they need some luck and breaks, but the schedule is a positive and they do get IMHO...(just IMHO Gator fans!!) a bit overvalued in the coaches poll.......but if they get some breaks they can be there in the end...but this is also a team that could lay an egg or two against SC, Tennessee, or FSU...other than that they should match up pretty well against everyone else...IMHO they lose at Bama...but that is a game they will undoubtedly be sky high for.....IMHO this years NC game will have two one loss teams..and Florida could very well be one with some breaks like they got against Arkansas ......

    Come on Ray, I know you hate Meyer, but he has come down pretty strong on players that have serious accusations against them.

    IMO, he is definitely out this week. Heck could be off the team depending if it is all true.

    I do hate Urban Meyer, but I meant that more as a jab at college football than at Urban or the UF program.....I understand these are kids.....I understand the stupid things kids do while under the influence of hormones, alcohol or the occasional joint.....:) ...... but there is a big difference between what mainstream societies kids do and what many of these college football players do and the statistics bear that out ....

    AND you have a great deal of these kids that do not have mainstream demographics, ...they need stronger more structured rules, consequences and nurturing than a football coach or university putting up with crap......and these are academic institutions and not rehabilitation facilities to which we contribute our money, taxes and other......I would rather have seat for a kid that will cure Alzheimer's than to a kid that ran back a TD against East Northern Ball State and did not get arrested a second time.

    And it is my humble opinion that much of the cause of that is kids getting minor insignificant punishment for offenses that warrant a more stringent punishment ... whether that is at East Northern Central State of Franklin of UF .....

    Thats my rant....I am sure some here will wish me dead, call me some lousy (and incurrate) name, or make me the bad guy (they already have) because I have a different opinion or do not agree with treating football players regardless of the color of their jersey with kid gloves at a State University where my tax money goes....it is not because it is UF.......

    Fair enough, I just thought it was a jab at Meyer. I totally agree that if you or I would have done this we'd probably be in jail right now and just waiting for it to go to trial.

    As for the bold part, I know there are a LOT of non rational posters here, but I hope that was not aimed at me?! You and I have always had pretty calm and intelligent conversations/chats.

    Edit: For the record, in case my point was not clear, I am for heavier punishment for most crimes that athletes commit. I think whether in college or pro, most get off WAY too light. Which, IMO, is why these issues keep happening. If they had a big penalty for doing something wrong, they'd start to think twice about doing it. Maybe not right away, but it would have a trickle down effect.

    No not at All O! I enjoy our conversation even when we disagree....I hope I am not and never have been inadvertently disrespectful to you.

    I have had people here that I have never met nor had any private interaction with call me racist, Right wing extremist, *******, ...... because of political views (for which I am banned), hiring practices, my views on economics and a couple other reasons, and I have gotten more than my fair share of "not that BS again" because I often state my opinion and I am way too honest and open about it...sort of like my admission that I HATE Urban Meyer...lol :) but I do not try and hide things including my opinions....LOL.......But in my world it speaks a lot more about THEIR character than mine and I still sleep really good at night........

    I have spoken to a couple of great posters will not be be posting on here any longer for those very reasons...I think we will miss them over time.

    I just have a hard head or just see I just see things differently I guess.

    I watched Rome today (which I rarely do) and he had a funny line about Rainey. It made me think that maybe Rainey wasn't really threatening the girl but rather just pitching a new proposed title for the next Steven Seagal movie.

    So forget what I said about Robert Clark. Hines will move to the slot while Jordan reed will start at TE.


    Also this wiill be the first game we have all 5 starters playing on the offensive line.

    I hope you are right. I still think our offense needs to be more consistent to go up there and pull off the upset...

    I hope we have something else in the bag besides Trey Burton running the counter play which Kentucky couldnt stop but which Alabama has a LOT of game film on and time to prepare for it.:wink2:

    Perhaps there are other plays that can be run out of that formation.

    I have no doubt that they can't go up there this weekend and upset Bama. The talent is there. It's just beyond me, why we can't have our offense ready to go on the first day of the season. It started out the same way last year. They just need to execute, the talent is there.

    The victim in this case...his ex girlfriend testified in his favor.

    We could use a good return man but Meyer has to make an example of him .I would sit him on the bench and make him earn playing time.

    So you think we have NO chance?

    I finally got to watch the game last night. I was at Disney with the family until late sunday. Although, it is starting to look like Adazzio is starting to figure out our best chance to win is passing plays with Brantley... I still think the play calling is WAY too predictable. It is either run on first and second down, then pass on Third. Or what I saw a lot of is ... pass on first down, when complete the offense seemed to click... when incomplete, guaranteed run on second down - which the defense was ready for and almost never got more than 2 yards, so then 3rd and long... NOT a good recipe for success. Especially against a good defensive team.

    Talent wise, I think we can definitely hang with and even beat Bama. I am just not so sure we will get the right plays called to do so. UK, was definitely the best play calling all season, but that is not saying much...

    :lol: Typo, or subliminal negativism creeping in, I'm not sure which. I agree with what you say. Going back to last year, or perhaps the year before, this flaw began to manifest itself. Whether it's play calling, execution, or a combination of both, I don't know. I do know there is no excuse for our offense to come out of the gate so ill prepared. I'm one to believe you adjust your scheme to the talent you have on hand. Square pegs in round holes will always cause structural damage.

    Honestly I like this package much better than the Joker Package. That formation was terrible and it seemed like we were always getting beat in it.

    The Gators should just go for it on 4th down whenever they get into Bama's territory...they're not coming back with FGs. Richardson and Ingram will be too tough to stop to get more possessions.
