Fwd: Happy Holidays to all Gators

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.

I guess Urlacher is right. Tebow is a good RB

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.
