Thursday Bites

A few things from around Gator Nation:

• It's always nice to see FSU get busted. Apparently, the teachers were giving players the answers to exams--hey, at least they can read!
• The Gators have scored 21 touchdowns in 26 trips to the red zone. In related news, Tim Tebow can't be tackled.
• Here's a look at what's going on around the SEC.
• Read this interview with Lee Corso and try to convince me that he's not the most annoying person associated with college football.
• The effect of the kickoff rule has been less than expected.
  
• Apparently all the rumbling and grumbling finally has convinced Urban Meyer to give Deonte Thompson some much-deserved playing time. "Keep that name in mind. Write that name down," Meyer said.
• Percy Harvin sat out of practice again on Wednesday. (I think he just hates embarrassing his teammates on the practice field)
  
• November 17th will be a football/basketball doubleheader in Gainesville, with the Gator football team kicking off against Florida Atlantic at noon. The basketball game against Rutgers will follow at 7 pm.
• The Gators expect to see a few squib kicks from Auburn on Saturday because of the threat of Brandon James. Says Meyer: I don't think I'd kick to him either."
• One of the keys to success for the Gators this season is taking care of Tim Tebow.
• As usual, it is defense that will determine the outcome of the Gators' 2007 season.
• Check out this video interview with stud freshman CB Joe Haden. And this one with the man, C.I.
• I like this line from the Gainesville Sun: "Most teams would have difficulty replacing players that have covered 40 yards in under 4.3 seconds but most teams aren't the Florida Gators."
• One recruit went to visit the Gators for the Tennessee game, got a scholarship offer, and nearly committed right on the spot. (I would have!)
