FLORIDA’S SECONDARY IMPROVES, STOPS WAVING HANDS FEEBLY
According to GatorSports.com, Urban Meyer is seeing maturation in his secondary, last seen waving their arms feebly and wailing, covered in flames, at the Capital One Bowl. We will believe this when we see Wondy Pierre-Louis successfully defend himself from a marauding gnat, much less a thrown pass (Brandon Cox, Passing Christ Superstar? Really, Wondy?), but that’s what Urb’s saying at least.
Yoo-hoo! Mr. QB! Right here! Throw it here!UF coach Urban Meyer said one of the reasons for the defense’s turnaround this spring has been the maturity of his players and lack of what Meyer likes to call the “dope look,” or that confused look that young players are notorious for.
“Confused looks lead to bad players, bad teams, bad defense, bad offense, and I’m starting to see that disappear a little bit on defense,” Meyer said.
“Disappear a little bit?” There’s hope in that phrase, babeee! It’s dripping with optimism. So you’re saying there’s a chance of us us having a secondary next year? That little happy skylark following me around? You put it there, Urban, all by yourself.
If you can’t watch the video yourself due to work-based productivity fascism, here’s the summary: Emmanuel Moody, still surprisingly behind in learning the offense; Chris Rainey, woo!; more double-tight end sets next year thanks to Hernandez and Ingram making strides; Harvin’s heel, iffy for the moment; Carlos Dunlap, blockwreckah on the d-line.

Did Meyer ever work in the Notre Dame bell-tower? Looks like he could have, NTTAWWT.

Not sure what he’s trying to accomplish by saying there… perhaps trying to make something positive of having exactly 2 seniors on our roster.
Prediction for ‘08 – Defense still isn’t very good; The offense will compensate better than last year. 10-2. We win the bowl game.

I went to school with a few guys that had “the dope look,” but I don’t think Urban and I are talking about the same thing.

He may very well mean the same thing. We are talking about Herban Meyer, here.

There are several blocked fieldgoals and a blocked extra point from a couple of guys with “the dope look” that immediately come to mind. That’s all I’m saying.

Does Urban Meyer live in the “Gables?” Or is that his “Fredo-ish” brother pitching the place?

A noticed a few perfunctory snaps taken by Tebow, then it’s off to his well-guarded hyperbaric chamber at his dorm/temple.

Don’t stiff my accomplishments. I douched hard in the offseason to get myself ready to handle the Swamp.
And nothing makes me wetter than Urban Meyer’s tears.

That is the legendary MDK. The protagonist’s name alone pissed excellence: “Kurt Hectic.”

Urban Meyer will always, always tell you exactly what’s going on. To hear positive things, therefore, gives me an erection.

If you look down at the list of videos to play, the one that stands out is :”Floridas Fastest Student”…..and its a sad state of affairs if your fastest student is a white boy Finance major running a 4.49 in the 40…..which I believe is faster than some of the starting secondary…..just sayin’
