Very interesting article. For handicapping purposes, wonder if this method could be used to predict a winner against the spread on a weekly basis.
To get a measure on each team in a match up, wonder if it would be possible to take the last week or past 2 weeks to give an indication of success?

I made it plain as day at the beginning that I am passing along what my family told me about the game.

When my brother was talking about snapping issues with Robey, it wasn’t just about a high snap. It was also issues with getting it dead center on the x-axis too, with a particular option play where an off-target snap delayed an option play that ended up getting blown up.

I have no doubt Robey will be fine. I trust the UF coaches, and if they say the kid is good, then he’s gotta be good. Just relax; it’s only spring football.

Ok, let me see if I get this right. You didn’t go to the game and your writing a report? I was there and watched Robey as I had real concerns about this young guy taking over those duties and that’s all I’ve been reading about. Well, he took virtually every snap of the game (yes both orange and blue since we had no other healthy centers) and I thought he did an unbelievable job. He also made some great blocks down field and I only saw one high snap. For a lineman who had to be in there grinding the entire time all I can say is I was most impressed. Brady Ackerman’s wrote in an article today “the one guy that may have shown me the most is center Sam Robey” (He WAS there). Anyway, it was great to see all the young guys get the reps and Brantley is a stud.

I’ll be at the Orlando Gator Gathering this Saturday, and I’m anxious to hear Coach Meyer’s thoughts on the game as well as other things he may have to say.

Even though Tebow weas limited as far as playing time goes and the starters, for the most part, didn’t see any action, it still was a good show – I’m VERY impressed with how Johnny Brantley is progressing. He was good last season in the limited playing time he saw, but he’s improving with the help of Scot Loefller (BTW, I liked the way he “coached up” Tebow and Brantley after each series).

It was pretty much a “freshman and sophomore” show, but it also spoke volumes for Meyer’s recruiting efforts. If our bench is strong, our whole team is strong. We’re only as good as our weakest link, and we don’t want any weak links.

Comment on A Brief History of the Post-Season in America by suzanne edwards

Hi- I have an original poster about 20 inches by 32inches or so for the 1916 Tournament of Roses, Brown vs. State College of Washington and Floral Pageant of New Year’s Day. It was probably made by hand or an absolutely excellent quality of lithograph? There is 14 carat gold leaf on parts of the lettering and pictures, and it is in mint condition. It is a beautiful poster. It seems that it should be part of a collection and more valuable to someone other than myself. It was passed down to me by family, and it has been framed and protected all this time. Can you refer me to anyone who might be interested in such memorabilia? Or, do you have any idea where I should look for someone interested in this item or in making it part of a group’s collection? Thanks so much for taking the time to read this, Suzanne

Donovan’s salary is actually higher than Meyer’s is, even after Meyer caught up in number of national titles. I think he’s here for the long haul, but forever is a long time.

How long will Donovan really want to be at Florida, where football and Urban Myer will always be king? I wouldn’t be surprised if he wants to be top dog somewhere.
