Coach Spurrier called a few minutes ago. Said the SEC and ACC should just play their seasons and winners face off for national title because one conference was going to win it anyway.

Dan Mullen said he expects a nice bottle of wine on his desk after breaking one of the Head Ball Coach’s records for yards in an SEC game. Spurrier told me, “Tell coach to win an SEC championship and I’ll bring him two.”

The great man has passed. Bob Dooley left us today at the ripe age of 93. I don't know of anyone who ever met my father who didn't like him. And most of them loved him, especially his children and grandchildren. It was an honor to be his son.

Todd Grantham staying with Florida in part because Gators extended him with a raise in January to $1.8 mill making him 5th highest paid DC in the country. They did that before the Bengals stuff came up. UF very pre-emptive with deal, knowing teams would come calling.

My brain cannot process the loss of my friend Ed Aschoff. He was a special human and that doesn’t come close to describing how my whole family felt about him. My daughter Kelsey gave him the name “Awesome Ed” during a trip to Atlanta. It was appropriate. Rest In Peace my brother.

In all my years, I have never seen a fall like Mullen's at Florida. From top 10 coach in American to fired in less than a year. Had to do it. Think if they lost opener to Utah next year how the noise would only escalate. Sad for the seniors though.

Anybody who thinks that Urban Meyer told Jeremy Foley about spousal abuse in 2009 and UF did not act has never met Foley. He fired an assistant for an illegal bump and another for stuff that happened at another school. Zach Smith was a grad assistant.

Chip Kelly took the easier job. Go 9-3 at UCLA vs. 9-3 at Florida and check out the fan base reactions. No Saban. Easier defenses to run offense again. And he knows HS coaches so more comfortable. Can't really blame him. That said, I think Florida dodged a bullet.

Florida has 10 Q1 wins. Kentucky has three. Florida swept Kentucky. Florida is a higher seed with a better record in the SEC. Any bracketologist who has Kentucky ahead of UF on seed line based on RPI only isn't seeing the whole picture.

The passing of Mike Slive makes me want to cry. We had a special relationship with our common issue of prostate cancer. He treated me like a younger brother, even allowed me to go on his private plane to three bowl games in one day. He made the SEC what it is today.
