GATORS KEEP ROLLING IN THE RECRUITING WARS
First, it’s Tim “TBone” Tebow now it is a pair of speed merchant wide receivers from Virginia. Percy Harvin (who some services have as the top high school wide receiver) and Damon McDaniel have orally committed to the University of Florida giving the Gators 24 verbal commitments and a consensus top 5 recruiting season. Not since Gator fans dreamed of Tim Olmstead throwing touchdown passes to Steve Shipp have the Gator fans been so excited about the future.
Caveat Recruitor. Don’t forget that some recruits never do much more than log playing time in spring football.

I read that, as a freshman in High School, Percy cracked the world’s high jump record at the Virginia State Track and Field Championships, but later it was disallowed due to the wind. I also heard that he gets his power from consuming the colloquial fruits harvested in lower Greenland for their rich antioxidant juices and all-natural skin-darkening dyes.
Meyer only accepts oral commitments anyway, so that he can keep the virginity pact made to his sisters of Sigma Tau Delta; but as Ms. Timberlake taught us in Chocolate Earth, oral commitments make promises whether you like it or not (see the Ryan Perrilloux/Les Miles stolen love affair of 05).
Good luck with the stud line up and Urbane’s alleged chainsaw surgery, next year…

Some services have Harvin as the number one recruit overall. Meyer continues to bag some big ones.

I’m no recruitnik, so I have no idea how great these guys are or not (they sure might be the real deal).
But I do know one thing: If Dan Shanoff’s Daily Quickie is going apeshit bananas hyping something in any way related to college football, it’d better be something you’re rooting against.
and yes, I do believe apes shit bananas…

Nice flashback to the halcyon days of Timmy Olmstead and Everybody’s High School All-American, Steve Shipp.
Instead of four years of epic SEC beat-downs, these two gave Gator fans the following, bless their little hearts:
Olmstead - transfers to Vandy (??!!) and is accused by The Master of stealing our hand signals. They almost beat us … at home … thanks to some head-scratching turnovers courtesy of Doug Johnson’s evil twin, Skippy.
Shipp - he began his timed 40 yard dash run on March 14, 1998 and should just about be finishing up … now.

Mangino and the Fridge are a nice combo, and certainly worthy of the Mr. Creosote Bowl, or possibly the Abe Gibron coach of the year award. But where’s the love for Toledo’s headset wearing gastropod Tom Amstutz? Perhaps a future Beltline Bowl match-up with Filled Fulmer?

Sure…but you can’t deny the swole of Mangino and Fridge. They’ve been at it long past the point mortality charts say they should have stopped at.
