Anything that comes to mind. If you see someone say something ridiculous, write about it. Even if you only get a couple sentences out of it, that's a fragment you can use in something else later.

You could incorporate your other favorite teams, like comparing the new Gator offense to the new West Virginia offense, or contrasting Dan Hawkins' motivational style with Urban Meyer's.

Pick out a player on offense and defense and just follow him this weekend against Ole Miss. Track the number of sacks/pressures/hurries on both sides.

Any of that help?

Thanks for the comment Mike. Hopefully my AU tigers will face your gators in the SEC Championship. Should make for a story to tell the great grand kids.

Michael,
I was wondering if you'd be interested in letting us post your articles about Gator Football on our website, GatorTailgating.com. We are looking to add a few contributors before football season who can write insightful articles about Gator football. We have set up a pretty nice system where we can use digg, delicious, and reddit to promote your articles on a national basis. We also can link back to your info and profile on bleacherreport.com or another site if you'd like. It wouldn't be any type of deadline-type jouralism or 2 articles per week minimum like other sites. It would just be a basic agreement that would give us permission to post your articles on our site when they are relevant to Gator Football or Gator Tailgating. Please email me at Rusty@gatortailgating.com if you're interested. Thanks!
