Hey Gators,

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!

Hey, I understand. I moved the writers line down out of habit. I'm just trying to get the readers to the story you guys are putting out. If you want to put the line back up top, then by all means, please do.

I apologize. I enjoy the stories coming out here.

Pictures in comments? Great question. David Wunderlich (Gator board leader) knows. Please paste and send me a copy of the answer. Wunderlich and I don't seem to agree on much, so I haven't bothered to ask him myself. He also posts video clips fairly often, which is cool.

I think your BCS NCG story is probably the best piece I've seen on BR. You should email as many newspaper and sports blog editors* as you can with that piece. Its classic.

*Rivals, USA Today, Sporting News, Scout, etc.
