Urban Meyer: King and ruler of all he surveys. Already the best coach in the SEC without having even coached a game. Amazing! The rest of the league should just go ahead and forfeit all games against UF. :roll:

Tell you what, if you come up for the game in October, send me an email and I'll buy you a beer.
But I will admit I find it a little perplexing (and amazing) that Meyer has managed to work the Gator nation into an absolute frenzy when he hasn't coached a game yet. It will be interesting to see how Leak manages Meyer's offense.

It's just gatormania. The lizards are hungry after a 3-year sleep.
As for Meyer getting the hype up - it wouldn't have been hard for almost anyone, but no one could have said or done things any better to this point.
I look forward to seeing what happens.

What? :idontno:
All I said was I'm going to the game. Are you smelling smack? :lol:
I expect bammer to be better this year, and be a tough game for anyone.
I guess this season it's time to find out if Shula is the real deal. And can he win the iron bowl?

Well..yes I was smelling smack..but that it is ok. I am used to it. 😀 Shula has to do something this year, he has to win the iron bowl, or I have a feeling he will be looking for another job. I hope we will show up at the games, and I hope Brodie stays healthy!!!!!

I understand. But he is starting to remind me a little of Dennis Franchione. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. :wink:

Ten states, 14,615 air miles, 33 rental cars, 10 speaking engagements, three time zones and 99 high schools later, Urban Meyer's manic May is finally over.
It's been quite a trip. Literally. A non-stop recruiting/booster-greeting/contact-making tour that took him from Miami to New Jersey to Nevada and all kinds of cities, towns and high schools in between.
Some might call it the month from hell. But not Meyer.
"It's the first time I've done all four weeks on the road (in the month of May)," Meyer said earlier this week. "It was hard, but necessary, and I'm glad I did it. It was great."
May is a big month for recruiting and Meyer spent much of it meeting high school coaches and checking out the top recruits in Florida and nine other states (New Jersey, Nevada, Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, North Carolina, Mississippi, Virginia and Alabama). In one day, he visited five states. He also placed an emphasis on South Florida, where he visited 28 high schools and attended nine practices in one three-day span.
"The reason our staff took this job is because the best football in the country is right around here," Meyer said. "This state is loaded to the gills (with prospects) next year. We also hit the Eastern Seaboard pretty hard and hand-picked some other areas."
When he wasn't flying or driving to high schools, Meyer was meeting Florida fans at 10 different Gator Gatherings, where he gave speeches and spent hours signing autographs.
He said he learned a great deal about UF fans on his first tour of the state.
"What I found is a group of fans who are nuts," Meyer said. "Everyone is hungry, much more than I thought. You go to Utah and Notre Dame and speak and it's pretty good. This is better. It was nuts. That was day after day. I was surprised by that a little bit."
The speaking circuit provided some entertaining moments. Meyer was asked to sign a marriage certificate in Daytona Beach last weekend and signed a surfboard earlier in the tour.
"Some undergarments were thrown at me a couple of times, but I refused to do that," he said. "I stand for something."
On May 19, Meyer started his morning in South Carolina and had four flights that day, the final one bringing him back to Gainesville so he could attend his daughter Nicole's middle school graduation.
Overall, it's been a busy, hectic grind, but Meyer said he'll pretty much keep up the same schedule next May.

My vanity tag. Let's put it this way, my doctor forbade me from watching Gator football during my pregnancies to avoid premature labor.

I'm in a frenzy! Can't wait until kickoff of the first football game! GATORS! GATORS! GATORS! GATORS! GATORS! Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar! All for the Gators, stand up and holler! We are the boys/girls of old Florida! F-L-O-R-I-DA! Go Gators!
If we have a bad season, I'll throw up. Or turn my front license plate upside down as I did when Jeremy Foley hired Zooker.
