BAWHAHAHA of course you did jo. Would not be much of a gator beat writer if urban did not let you within 100 yards of the complex.

Just going by the old adage that it's hard to beat a team twice in the same year. Picking Florida late in the season is based on John Brantley's upside and Florida's potential on defense more than anything. With the right team chemistry, Florida could make a run late.

Here's something newsworthy for you Jo and all those pathetic losers you call Turd fans:

Allen "the beast" Bailey has eye-popping weight room stats that include 585 lb squat, 420 lb bench press, 405 lb power clean and a 39.5 inch vertical leap. His only regret is not being able to plant a Turd QB deep into Benny Hill turf.
