COLLEGE FOOTBALL TEM KIDNAPPED!

It's 5:33 a.m. it's Sunday and Patrick and Junior are downstairs watching "Bagger Vance" on DVD.

Well, the Crimson Tide opened a can of Woop-Ass and dumped it all over the Gators, who couldn't even score a touchdown against them. So the Gators' train to the National Championship is derailed, but a SEC title is still on the radar scope. After all, Nobody REALLY expected a championship from Urban Meyer in his first year. The Defense missed the bus and never got to Tuscaloosa or wherever this game was played. I haven't seen the boxscore or stats and I don't think I want to. The offense showed up, but refused to play. Some pretender dressed out in Chris Leak's uniform, but he couldn't seem to throw a descent pass and it didn't make any difference because we didn't have a receiver on the field who could catch one. Meyer (If it was him) abandoned the Option, then abandoned the running game, to concentrate on a quarterback passing dropped balls and interceptions. Meyer did not call on backup QB Portis, except at the last few minutes, so I guess he wanted Leak to own this debacle all by himself. Oh well , if we have to have a loss, better it was against the Tide, that FSU or Georgia. I guess this team will have to start from square one. But don't be depressed, Gator Nation! Rome was not built in a day except maybe at Notre Dame, and it will take awhile to undo the Zookster's mess. One shining light on the horizon, Junior said Spurrier got creamed. So the Gators drop out of the top ten and Bama moves closer to it, maybe even in it. So it goes. GAaor Nation, this is important: Don't get down on Meyer--Protect his back at all costs--he is our future!! And that's just the way it is from the Wabash River Valley...
