The Fightin’ Gators were playing LSU, and I watched the first half and went to sleep, comforted in the knowledge that they would lose again. They did. They are 5 and 5 now. I read a story that said if they fire the coach they have to pay him an extra 22 million to buy him out. That sure is some arrangement he got for himself.

First year with the team they go 6-7. A losing year. This year they are 5-5 headed for 5-7. We play a fairly tough schedule, but still these results are bad. I don’t see a reason to aim for another losing season. No bowl game. No reason for top prospects to consider UF. We really haven’t done well in a long time.

I watched some of the Missouri game against Tennessee, and that team looked pretty good. That running back they got looked fantastic. Fast, elusive and powerful. He made a very good defense look like chumps.

I also watched the Penn State and Michigan game and that was a great game. Good defenses and some very nice offensive plays. Michigan looked like it deserves it’s ranking. They were not allowed to have their coach on the sidelines because of a cheating scandal. Supposedly…… they have been getting intel from some weirdo that has been stealing the signs of other teams. The Michigan coach would certainly had to know about it because it affected their play calling. This is an old rule. Not supposed to be stealing signs. The New England Patriots got caught stealing signs, now Michigan.

Other teams that played Michigan were aware that it had been going on. We don’t know who told the rules people about it. During the game I saw Michigan players purposefully blocking the TV camera’s view. They would stand directly in front of the camera so…….nobody could see what they were discussing. Hadn’t seen that being done before, which kind of tells me the whole team knows about it.

Michigan is a great team, but there should be a punishment for engaging in this sort of scheme. Coaches have to be able to use secret signals, and scumbags should not be stealing the signs. At least some of their games involved the use of stolen signs, so I think they should be barred from post season playoff contention. Good team, poor decision by the coach. Barring the coach from the side line for a few games isn’t going to deter others that may be doing the same thing right now.
