FRESHMEN THREATEN TO TRANSFER WHEEEEE

by Spencer Hall on Aug 25, 2010 3:49 PM EDT

Incoming Gator freshmen Ronald Powell and Dominique Easley, eighteen year olds, did not show up for practice on Tuesday after coaches "came down hard on them" in practice. Both allegedly mentioned transferring, though the Alligator reports that nothing's come of that yet.

Powell and Easley are part of a "cocky" freshman class that center Mike Pouncey asked to "just shut up and play." This doesn't worry us in itself, but Easley's involvement in this does. Easley is a highly touted defensive tackle, the cursed position that is to Florida football what middle linebacker is to Tennessee football as of late, the position built over an Indian burial mound littered with the cursed potential of players who flunked out, smoked their way out of the program, or otherwise never panned out as they should/could have. If he's involved, the defensive tackle curse could kick in, and then it might require the assistance of a priest to prevent total disaster here.

THESE GUYS NEED TO BE KICKED OFF THE TEAM AS A LESSON TO THE WHOLE TEAM AND I TELL YOU KIDS THESE DAYS NEED SOME DISCIPLINE AND LESSONS LIKE I LEARNED WHICH IS WHY I'M CALLING FROM A PHONE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORK DAY WHEN I SHOULD BE WORKING

It would be very nice, if this is indeed true, that everyone have a nice learning experience, acquire a few maturity points for their profile, and quietly returned to playing football. Otherwise we're calling a priest, and doing so ASAP.

UPDATE: Deep breaths. Deep breaths. Safe place. Safe place.

Randy Shannon preemptively takes care of this problem by taking a trip to Hialeah with a sack full of chickens and the occasional coed.

Is it wise to put chickens and coeds in the same sack?

Once they reach the Santero it won't matter.

Both are back at practice and smiling

This team will improve in '10... on its 16-16 conference record over the last 4 years.... after losing 20 games in the last 4 years... after having the 7th worst major-conference defense... after not even winning its own division in the ACC in the last 4.

Yeah, but I wonder what would

Fitzgerald mete out as punishment for no-showing practice? It really doesn’t fall into the holding hands – walking around the track – category

Has the staff tried upgrading the DT stalls?

They need softer bedding than just sand, a diet high in both forage AND energy to keep the weight on, and don’t forget the salt lick. DTs are prone to emotional distress which leads to anxiety, less than optimal development, and ultimately lower prices per pound at the sale.
I hope the staff went forward with the consultation with Temple Grandin after last year.

Here's a good scared straight tactic

Tell them, fine, you can transfer, but only to play for Paul Johnson.

Hyperbole

“THESE GUYS NEED TO BE KICKED OFF THE TEAM AS A LESSON TO THE WHOLE TEAM AND I TELL YOU KIDS THESE DAYS NEED SOME DISCIPLINE AND LESSONS LIKE I LEARNED WHICH IS WHY I’M CALLING FROM A PHONE IN THE MIDDLE OF A WORK DAY WHEN I SHOULD BE WORKING”

Anybody else from Atlanta read this in the Steak Shapiro voice? Just me? Okay, then.
