For more than a week, I’ve tried to figure out what I wanted to accomplish with my last column in the Alligator.
College football’s bowl season is almost upon us, and my emotions are mixed to say the least.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida still has one game left in 2010, but rebuilding for 2011 starts now. That was the message coach Urban Meyer emphatically delivered during his press conference after Florida State’s 31-7 drubbing of UF in Doak Campbell Stadium. The Gators (7-5, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) lost to the Seminoles (9-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) and lost five games in a season for the first time in Meyer’s tenure. This is also the first five-loss regular season since 1988. Meyer said his coaching staff would hit the road Sunday and immediately turn their focus to bringing in as many tough-ass players as possible.
