About James »

I am a loyal and passionate alumnus of the University of Florida who happens to enjoy writing about Gator football.

I live in Northeast Florida with my wife Kris and son Jake, and I always welcome comments on my articles. Trust me, I'll let you know my feelings on a subject.

I refuse to suspend disbelief. I will always call it like I see it.

Go Gators!

    I think he ought to whip Saban one more time, making him his be-otch, and then move on to Notre Dame.
