Congrats to Gator Basketball for winning the first round. I was concerned this one because it seem like all the experts were picking this as the upset. Little did they know a lot more upset were to come but, not my Gators.


And, congrats to Casey Prather for having the game of his life. I have seen flashes of this. I am hoping this game gives him confidence. A good performance in the tournament will also bode well for next year.

Go Gators....let beat Norfolk State and not take them for granted.

Gators Pro Day 2012

Gator Baseball Making History...

Gator Baseball has been on a excellent run. Now, 17-1 for the season. I got to watch them against FSU where the Mac was sold out. And, then the proceed to take three from a Jr College and put a beatdown on Vanderbilt to start SEC play...

Gator Basketball destroys Arkansas at home 98-68

I know this should be a pic of Erving Walker. He had a career day with 31 points. But, it was a all around good game by my Gators. I am hoping the Young is okay as he came down funky on his ankle. If the Gators can shoot like that consistently we will go far in the tournament. I hope this is a sign we are peaking at the right time. 

Gator Softball wins against Michigan State and gets 700th win for the program.....

I had forgotten the kind of talent that's on this team. They have the pitching, great defense, and awesome hitting....especially the long ball. Maybe we can break through this year with a National Championship. 

Men's take 2nd and Women's take 3rd at SEC Championship Meet

All I can say is we can never seem to get over the hump over Auburn in the sport. But, great showing guys...

#1 Gator Baseball takes second game in a row against Cal State Fullerton

It's a lot of pressure to be pre-season #1 and going all the way. This will be a long season and it will be interesting to see how the fair. I really hope this is their year. They have been flirting with this National Championship just like Softball. 

Six total commitments for the Gators on Saturday during Jr Day

Nick Washington was one of them that made it official on Saturday for the Gators. He plans to play football and baseball for the Gators and was at the baseball game yesterday afternoon.

NFL Honors

For the first time ever this year, the NFL got its own awards ceremony. But while they weren't handing out irrelevant awards like the "GMC Never Say Never Award," or "Defensive Player of the Year," there was a quiet style revolution happening among the young guns of the traditionally sad-sacked and ultra-pinstriped ranks of NFL players. Here, we break down the best looks of the night:

1. Cam Newton

2. Tim Tebow (and Katharine McPhee)

3. Aaron Rodgers

4. Demarco Murray

5. Jim Brown

And then, there's Drew Brees

Florida Gators - New Era

Here's a look at all of the new recruits of 2012. I for one am very excited. I think we are addressing the needs along the line of scrimmage where we lost most of our games last year. Congrats gentlemen and welcome to the family!

Go Gators!!!

Remember Don Cornelius

If you are of African American descent at all, then you have danced to the music on Soul Train. You have stolen some of the moves....and yes, tried to get the perfect afro.

I was a little young for this era....but, I remember many times dancing with my brothers when it was time for the Soul Train at the end of the show.

Rest in peace Don Cornelius....

Gator Basketball Beats Vandy

Nice win by the team today. Now they take control of second place in the SEC with Kentucky coming to town. Didn't get to see second half but, it looks like Boynton had a solid game and that everyone is please with the play of Beal. 

I can say this Brando who called the game really like Vandy in this one and seem to really be swinging on their talent and not the Gators. 

I also feel more comfortable with this four guard play by Florida when Young gets in foul trouble. We knew though....that Florida was lacking depth in the post. I am hoping that Prather settles down and give the same type of play that Yeguete is providing. 

Go Gators!!!

Adam Lane from Winter Haven broke his leg in his Jr year. So, maybe he flew under the radar a little. But, seems to be what we need as a RB in the new pro style offense of Muschamp.

Bryan Cox Jr Commits To Florida

Yep, been kinda slack on posting. But, I wanted to catch on the new Florida Commits and give them some spotlight on my blog. Good move though gentlemen. Best decision you ever made.

Gator Basketball Wins On The Road And Beat The Chickens

The Gamecocks kept it close in the first half but, the Gators talent took over in the second. I like what Yeguette brought to the game in starting for Young. Boynton is still on fire from three. And, Rosario is seeming to find his place in the rotation. I still think we are in trouble with depth in/on the post. But, this is the team that we have and time will tell if it's enough to go as far as the team from last year. Go Gators!!!

Patriots v Broncos

Good comic depiction...

I keep saying Tebow has done enough for me and I am going to relax for this game. But, the closer it gets to the game the more I want him to win this one too. It will be a tough task. But, then I said that about beating the Steelers. All I know is I like having Tebow on my team. GB2... God Bless and Go Broncos.

Good recovery for the Gator boys. The really stunk the place up in Tenn. There was definitely more effort and energy. It looks like Beal is back. And, I like what I saw out Rosario. I hope we really gel and come out in March ready for a tournament run.

Tebow Won Because Of Steeler's Arrogance

Well, I finally have come down off of this emotional high from the Bronco game three days later. I can admit now that I had not watched ESPN or NFL Network since the Bronco loss to the Chiefs. Just didn't want to hear them bash my guy....my fellow Gator.

He prove them all wrong. It's been one thing after another. But, the most prevailing thought was that the gimmicky offense had run it's course. And, there was no way that Tebow would be able to beat NFL teams with his arm. And, certainly not the #1 Defense in the NFL coached by the great Dick Lebeau.

But, my contention here is that the Steelers and their coaching didn't take Tebow too seriously. They certainly underestimated the game plan by OC Mike McCoy.

Now I have heard it all about how the Steelers were hobbled with so many injuries. Well, so were the Broncos. And, as Charles Davis said on NFL Total Access. The NFL prides itself saying, "Next man up."

Broncos defense played well. And, I expected Roethlisberger to stand tall and make some plays....he did. But, all I wanted from Tebow to do is play a solid game and solidify his position as the starter for next year.
Well, he gave me way more than that. And, I couldn't be more proud of him and the Bronco team.

To the Steelers....you can't believe everything your hear. You let Tebow lull you to sleep with too bad games. You got cocky and yep...GOT TEBOWED. For you it's not on to the next one. It's Denver that will be heading into New England.

Steelers Lockeroom Reaction....Good Stuff!

Tebow's Stand Against The Steelers

His performance today will determine a lot of things. I think he has played his way into a starting position next year but, I am looking for that confidence I saw at Florida. I haven't seen it the last two games. I haven't seen it from most of the offense.

I for one can't watch. I just can't do it. But, I will be keeping up with the score and the stats. But, you have to say some things are in his favor. No Mendenhall, a hobbled Rothlisberger, and it looks like Moore at RB is iffy. I wish that was the case with the Defense. They are nasty and they will come for Tebow.

I wish him well. I want him to again to silence the critics....you either love this guy or hate. Amazingly there is no in between.

Good luck Tim....please surprise everyone.

Gator Football Gets A Five Star DE

Guess I wasn't as in the know as I thought I was. I didn't know Bullard was on our radar. Nor, did I know we were on his. But, it seems we got a big one yesterday and Gator football could use some good news.

We definitely need to get bigger and nastier on both lines.

Congrats Jonathan Bullard! Gatornation is proud to have you.

Gator Basketball Gets A Five Star PG

Yes, I know I am late on this commitment...but, I always like to give our commitments some spotlight. It means they made the best college choice of their lives. Go Gators!!!!

Just before the New Year, Florida basketball coach Billy Donovan picked up a new commitment.

Class of 2013 point guard Kasey Hill announced on Twitter that he verbally committed to the Gators. The Montverde Academy junior is the first player to commit to Florida in the class.

Montverde teammate Michael Frazier has signed with the Gators and will join them for the 2012-13 season.

After attending Florida's win over Yale in the O'Connell Center on Saturday, Hill tweeted, "I am a GATOR!!!!"

Rivals.com ranks him as the 27^th best prospect in the class, while ESPNU ranks him as the third best point guard in the class of 2013.

Florida will be in need of some depth at point guard after this season. Senior Erving Walker is the only one to graduate, leaving sophomore Scottie Wilbekin as the only other true point guard on the team. UF adds Charlotte (N.C.) United Faith Christian PG Braxton Ogbueze in the class of 2012.

He Just Wins!

I haven't talked about Tebow because I don't want to jinx him. But, I also promised that if he somehow beat the Bears that I would at least say something.

I paid attention to it since the Miami game....

"He won't win playing for just five minutes a game. He won't start anymore after the Lions game. He won't beat Oakland in Oakland. He won't keep this up against Kansas City. He definitely won't be able to move the ball against the Jets defense. The Chargers are hungrier for a win and Rivers is due for a good game. Let's see how he does against the #1 defense against the run and have to get into a shoot out with CP. Really!!! Ponder??? And, then the Bears Tampa 2 will be discipline and stop this Tebowmania.

I admit that my heart can't take this last minute heroics. But, I will take it over a loss any day. And, it is completely funny to see these critics continue to back track.

Now it's he won't win in the playoffs.

Okay, that's enough. I don't want to jinx my favorite NFL player. I will just let the season play out.

Xavier and Cincy Brawl

This is a shame and I ashamed for them. And, I am sure there will be plenty of suspensions. But, truly it is a travesty that the coaches and the players allowed this to get to this level.

And, of course the reporters went straight for it and asked all the questions they wanted to. And, the answers by the players were just as wrong. They were still emotional and gave emotional and not well thought out answers.

The best response was when I told someone to watch and told him what was said and done on the court and in the presser.....

He said, 'Nothing you could have said would have prepared me for what I saw....and then heard in the press conference." I say, "Exactly!" Those boys were very clean cut, articulate, but, straight hood in the actions and responses.

Now, I completely understand you have to defend yourself. But, please don't tell me that guy stomping the Xavier player was defending himself.

Horrible display gentleman....




Subsequent press conference that the coaches should have never let happen....embarrassing...

Dwyers' Season Comes To An End

I must say I have never been more proud of a program. I got to travel through the season with this team. I got to watch from afar and up close and see how these kids....this team evolved into a winner. And, that is exactly what they are winners. 


Credit this coaching staff.....Coaches Jack Daniels, Reggie Stanley, Mark Bohne, Edmond Gieger, Steve Quisenberry, Kevin Embick, Bobby Sifrit, Jim Sifrit, Smith Walters, Paul Meniure. Dan Gould, and Jim Austin. 


They really took some young and raw talent, and made them a powerhouse once again. Going undefeated in their district....not losing again after the first game of the season.....annihilating some teams offensively and defensively.  And, just running rough shod through there district and coming one game shy of the state title game. 


And, to all those Matt Porters and Jeff Greers out there that want to imply this is a staff that recruits, I say you have no clue. There is no way to get the team I saw on Labor Day to the point they were against a St Thomas Aquinas and a Manatee with nothing but pure coaching and hard work....and a lot of commitment of personal time. They did that....they do that year in and year out. Hence, they have one of the Elite programs that kids want to be apart of. 


And, let me be clear....the Panthers would be in the state title game if it were not for a lot of phantom calls against them on Friday night. I'd say 11 on 11 and Dwyer would have beaten Manatee. But, there was no way they could fight the addition 6 refs too. As one coach said after the game, 11 on 17 is a definitely mismatch. 


And, thank to all the Manatee fans and parents who came up and said, "Sorry for the way things turned." But, let's be honest. Those thank yous do nothing at this point. 


Coach Daniels said, 'It's a three-hour bus ride after your kids played their hearts out. It hurts....A lot of people affected the game that don't put in the hours and it's wrong"


But, thanks to those players who worked hard and developed....those players like Bauta who opened himself up to be coached.....who turned out to be pretty close to a Tebow look alike after all....and anybody who knows me knows that was a painful statement. But, to the Mike Minns, and Patrick Millers, Gage Baten, Julian Wighams, Courtney Lowreys....you had a great season. And, to Nick Gonzales....kudos to you....good old hard work does pay off. You made yourself an integral part of this team and contributed so much. And, even in the face of dishonest refs none of you guys ever gave up. What an awesome display by you guys....I now pay attention to high school football because of you.


So, I will be watching again next year guys. And, I will looking forward to the young talent like Anthony Williams, Sterling Stanley, Matt McMahon, Kevin Higgins, Jeremy Boykins. I have a feeling Coach Daniels is very pleased with the team coming back next year. 

Coach Stanley was not willing to talk much after this game but he did say, "So many kids came up to him after the game and all they talked about was getting in the weight room and getting ready for next year."

This program will probably finished around 50th in the country. But, truly in South Florida and the state of Florida it would be hard press to find any other program that does it better than the Dwyer Panthers. 


Dr. Lee and Coach Daniels you should be proud of your school and your athletics program. The coaches and players have represented themselves well. 

Patrick Miller, Bobby Poulyo, Mike Minns, and Faton Bauta

 Good luck to the following kids who have already committed to college schools....


Patrick Miller......LSU
Faton Bauta........Georgia
Bobby Poulyo......UConn
Mike Minns.........Undecided - three offers from Marshall, Eastern Kentucky, & Middle Tenn
Julian Wigham.....Syracuse

Tim And The Traveling Tebows Do It Again

As you can see I have stayed away from the subject of Tebow of late. I just didn't want to jinx him. But, after what happened yesterday I don't think superstition has anything to do with. Tebow can play in this league. And, he can pass and run . I have never been more proud. It was a shootout. But, not at anytime did I think he wouldn't come through in the end. That in itself if crazy. I had to hear about the ending....but, I was not surprised. 

Tebow's Entire Winning Drive

Tebow Talk

Tebow Wins

So The Jets And All Their Fans Can Kiss My Bronco Ass!!!!!!

All of the talk by Revis.....but you sold out when it counted. Revis would not even tackle him when he had the chance on that last drive.

Oh and here is an apology to my parents and my MAN for the cursing but.....this team and their fans deserve nothing less.

All the bored talk. And, all talk by the Jets Defense and Rex on the 46 Defense and you could not keep it up for 60 minutes. And, Jets your QB is an embarrassment. He does not have the intelligence nor the heart to win the big game. He is your Jemarcus Russell. Go ahead and release Sanchise so he can start drinking cough syrup.

This is what I say.....never bet against a winner....and that's what Tebow is. After all the smoke, mirrors, and chatter he is 4-1.

Go Broncos!!!! Go Gators!!!! And, yeah God Bless!! Lol!
