"Allow me to make a “typical arrogant Gator” observation" |
|
after listening to several different college football podcasts, watching ESPIN, reading various websites, etc etc.... the reaction of much of the media this past week to news that UF might hire Chip Kelly sure has been entertaining. Seemingly every single college football talking head in America has felt the need to weigh in on it. It was really funny listening to the ESPN guys trying their darndest to will him to UCLA. This is getting more attention by far than ucf’s season for example and they’re undefeated. How come? We’ve been practically invisible from their standpoint since Urban left. Chip Kelly’s been out of coaching for almost a year and you didn’t hear rampant speculation about him like this before. I think there is a GREAT amount of fear out there about what happens if we find somebody who knows how to drive a Ferrari. Quietly listening to some of the chatter around the office from fans of other SEC schools (they’re dead set against it) would seem to confirm my suspicion. |

-- Starred by: Beachmaster LAGator 3rdWardGator PC Gator JimG8R gatorvette1012 chigatorbri BurrGator -- “Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late… It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern schoolteachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision… It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.” Maj. General Patrick R. Cleburne, CSA, January 1864 "I yet believe that the maintenance of the rights and authority reserved to the states and to the people, not only essential to the adjustment and balance of the general system, but the safeguard to the continuance of a free government. I consider it as the chief source of stability to our political system, whereas the consolidation of the states into one vast republic, sure to be aggressive abroad and despotic at home, will be the certain precursor of that ruin which has overwhelmed all those that have preceded it." Robert E. Lee
