Only if you want to be disappointed in a few years when he's on the ND sideline :shifty::wink2:

:lol:

I saw on ESPN that Dan Mullen will be our OC for the game, congrats to him though

IF he can win at ND he'd be a legend though. That's a hard thing to pass up, especially when it's a place he already loves.

It'll happen eventually

He doesnt say the things he's said if he doesnt still think about the ND job in the back of his head. :yes::wink2:

TBH It wouldnt suprise me to see him there in 10+ years from now, There's only so much he can do down here afterall before he wants a new challenge.

He pretty much said that he hears about the job 400-500 times and that he says those things to be nice. Urban Meyer is home.

As a Dolphin fan you'd think you would have learned your lesson about being sure about what a coach will do lol. :wink2:

Meyer loves ND, his family commitments got him to go to Florida; his own words. When his family is no longer an issue, if ND's job is open, not sure how anyone can say with confidence that he wouldnt at the very least listen to what ND has to say.

Cornelius Ingram officially out of BCS game

It was mighty tempting.
Cornelius Ingram can accelerate, plant and cut on that surgically-repaired left knee, and Urban Meyer certainly fantasizes about all the different ways he could incorporate the 6-foot-4 tight end into the offense.
Ingram caught seven touchdowns in 2007, was supposed to be the top receiving threat this year and could be a first-day selection in this April’s NFL Draft.
But it is still just four months after surgery to repair the ACL in Ingram’s left knee. And CI likely is rusty, having not played live football in a year.
So despite constant inquiries from media, teammates and CI himself, Meyer can’t let him play in the BCS Championship Game.
“I’d love it more than CI would love it, but it’s only 4 months after ACL surgery,” Meyer said. “He looks like a freak that he is, but no.”

I believe there is a much better chance of him being the Head coach of the Patriots than Notre Dame. Why would he leave Florida when he has everything he would ever want? Besides that his wife likes it there. :wink2:

Florida has a new commitment. His name is Marsalis Teague CB

You're choosing to ignore his long ties and love for Notre Dame, that's your choice. I'm not saying he will be the coach of ND, and I dont see it happening soon. But he admits he loves ND and went to Florida because of his family. It doesnt take a huge leap of faith to say he could one day end up at ND based solely on his history with the school and his own comments.

You do throw up good logic Don. I believe Urban's youngest daughter Gigi is a freshmen in high school this year. So even if Urban stays only long enough for her to graduate, that's 4+ years at UF. If we could get four more years of Urban with 1 maybe 2 sec titles and a few bcs bowls, I wouldn't be hurt if he left. Unless he did it Saban style.

Not ignoring that at all. I just think that Urban Meyer has found a home in Florida

Alright guys I know this is not the main thing you want to read about but the Lady Gators deserve some love. They are really battling hard this year. Here is an article about their win v.s. #20 Pitt

Pitt stopped: Women's hoops wins again | GatorSports.com | The Gainesville Sun | Gainesville, FL

I met Riley Cooper's parents yesterday and to make a long story short they told me Percy Harvin may actually be coming back next year. They said there is an outside chance that Spikes may as well. Now I don't believe it at all, But I thought I would share the news

Might not be the greatest idea for both. I know Harvin has had issues with Hip and ankles, might be better getting out when his stock is the highest (though I think if he stays Tebow might be more likely to stay as well. As for Spikes I don't see how he doesn't declare, he is a Top 10 or 15 pick if he comes out this yr. Again would love them both back but don't think it'll happen.

Don't know how much knowledge this really is, but Spikes just moved into a new place. I forget where he said it was but I'm assuming it's an apartment complex, and if so he would had to have gotten some crazy 4 month lease to be able to leave after he gets drafted in april.....idk

Spikes won't be a top 15 pick. He will be a late 1st or early second. We will find out alot more in the combine tho

I truthfully don't think either one is staying. Then again, I did not think any of the BB team was going to stay also... Yet they ALL did. So who knows...

I agree that I don't think either will stay. It makes alot of sense for both to go to the NFL tho. However if they stay it could be very special with almost everyone else coming back.

I actually thought that all the BB players would come back. They were all so close and when ever I read quotes from Noah I just got the feeling they would come back. Doubt we will ever see something like that again

Some updates from Gainesville, as my boss, one of my good customers and myself were talking gators.

1. The customer is friends with a guy that hangs out with Tebow every week. The word is that Percy has stated he is leaving no matter what.

2. As I mentioned earlier Spikes shops at my store and he and my boss are close. He has told me boss that the gator defense is upset Tebow didn't win the Heisman and they are gunning for revenge.

3. He personally guaranteed my boss he's coming back.

This has been everywhere. I think that the Gators are going to try and make a statement v.s. Oklahoma and show the country they made a mistake with the Heisman.

Spikes coming back is hard to swallow. I just can't believe it.
