Not a Gator, Not a Gator, Not a Gator.

I want a bias Homer as the voice of the Gators. Hopefully he will grow into the role.

Mick Hubert wasn't a Gator either. He went to college at Illinois State and was doing play by play at Bradley University before getting the UF job.

Sometimes you just need to pick the best person for the job. I want them to have O&B colored glasses, but I need them to tell me the truth also.

He seems to be well thought of by LSU fans and many were hoping he would be the voice of LSU. He might be a perfect fit.

I am saying "Not a Gator," tongue in cheek. I just want a guy that bleeds orange and blue and sounds like on the radio.

Matt, you probably didnt know Otis Boggs, the voice of the Gators before Mick....he could make me smell the french fries at the state fair when we played N Carolina St years ago. He would describe the weather and the rival players so you felft you were there at the away game.

Of course I grew up in the era of radio, when you were lucky to get 1 game a year on the TV...unless of course you werent
Nueter Dame or Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas

Reel, I am older than you are. Otis would take 15 seconds to call a 1 yard run." He takes the handoff, cuts to the right, turns back left, follows he blocker into the holes, he is fighting hard for yardage. Tackled for a gain of 1."

He sounds like Mick a little bit. I’m sure that was a factor.
