Dude have you checked out the newest class coming in next year? I know a lot of things can change, but they just posted this on ESPN this morning and the Gators are dominated this recruiting class.

Meyer and staff, as of now, have a verbal from the #1 and #2 ranked Safeties in the country, along with the #2 Athlete and the #3 RB.

Pretty sick...

Don't be shy, and as always, feedback is appreciated.

Wow have you seen BT's new write up about USC being the new "U". I think he was in drunk old man mode or something because he was raving about how USC was far better than UF and how the PAC-10 is superior...it's almost like someone stole his password...

craziness...

He actually said that Mike S is "shut down city" Mike lol because I didn't respond to a stupid reply of his. lol

Hey Nick,

Much has been made about the amount of Urban Meyer's new contract given the current economy, but see why I think he deserves it. Thanks!
