Haha, not at all. That's something Andrew Spivey started and has become sort of an Internet truth somehow after I left GatorCountry. I'm sure there are people on TD or the rant who can tell verify for me if they see this thread.

Haha, I post those on the site I work for! But here's a nugget for you: The final 1-on-1 in the tackling drill that led to the fight/brawl/scuffle tonight was Quincy Wilson upending Raph Andrades and putting him on his back.

Yeah I read that on 247. floated the info to the guys here. Here is a question. I heard Deandre Goolsby is really impressing at the TE position. Is it possible there may be some double TE sets with him and McGee? Kinda crazy to think about considering how TE was our weakest position by far last year.

Nah, but I remember hearing your last name. IIRC, I was a few years behind you at SPS.

Definitely possible. Goolsby was one of the standouts at tonight's practice. Even if it's not McGee and Goolsby, there will be sets with two TEs. Florida's also going to do a lot of multi-back stuff with multiple running backs. Ran some diamond formation stuff tonight (very productive last few years) with Taylor, Jones and Brown all in the same backfield.

Hey man, sharing is caring. I was smart and sucked on the varsity track and soccer teams for a few years. But I was on the team!

Hoping Mickey can have a good year for LSU this year and Jalen McCleskey lands at an SEC school. Ran into him and his father at Florida's summer camp, but bummed I didn't get a chance to talk to them much because I had to run.

Kinda like how OU ran that formation when Landry Jones was there? A buddy of mine at the practice tonight said, our receivers are lining out really wide. The slot receiver damn near lines up were the outside WR lines up in other offenses. Said it puts more pressures on the linebackers. Thats a little quirk about Ropers scheme that he has noticed.

Interesting. Didn't notice that myself but will have to look out for it tomorrow night.

FWIW, I don't think the talk about Driskel being sharp is idle talk at all. He looked pretty good tonight, granted it's only one practice. We'll see what happens when everything is live and he has to make decisions and fit it into windows in a real game.

I also heard either Fowler is the next Clowney or the Oline is straight terrible.

I wrote: "Driskel threw several very nice passes, including a handful with very good touch in the intermediate to deep range" ... "Thursday night was one of the better outings we've seen from him in terms of throwing the deep ball."

And also wrote: "Dante Fowler was absolutely unblockable yet again in Thursday night's practice. At this point, it's hard to tell whether that's just a great sign for Fowler or a legitimate cause for concern."

Your friend seems like he knows what he's looking at. I was surprised how many people there were out at practice tonight. Must have been 750+. Nice that they're later in the evening right now. We fried in the spring, but tonight was actually pretty comfortable.

Yeah he said he thought there was almost 1,000 there. He kept texting me every time something cool would happen.

A thread about VH3 will bring UF fans out of the woodwork.

yeah, that statement was made based on some erroneous tweets and texts and way prior to your brawl recap.

Since this has turned into the unofficial gators open practice thread... thoughts on Driskel? Look better under the new OC?

Honestly, y'all know I hate Muschamp but I'm starting to think his eyes have been opened to the value of offense (god, I hope Roper stays at least 2 years) and that our boys are about to take a lot of frustration and pain out on the the rest of the SEC and start having fun on both sides of the ball for the first time since 2008.

Screw, the schedule- we played Bama, LSU and Auburn, in 2006 and won it all. We should by any estimation be the favorite in the East (literally the only caveat is schedule) 10-2 is our realistic prediction with 8-4 and a new coach the floor and 12-0 the ceiling.
