"Florida's fake 40 board" - Yahoo

[PhD Gator]

Some harsh words about Haden and the speed board that Florida keeps in its locker room. This Yahoo article essentially says the whole board is made up and fabricated given how much slower Haden ran at the Combine than the board showed him (4.57 vs his listed 4.33).

According to the sports media "we don't live in a perfect world" isn't true, and Gator football players, in their view, must never have a bad day or face getting raked over the coals.

Bad day or not thats a huge separation in times... It is what it is, I guess.

Still, it's not as big of a deal as the media's making it out to be. Haden still has his Pro Day workout and individual team workouts to prove his potential before the draft next month, so the Combine isn't the be-all-and-end-all as far as his pre-draft "audition" goes.

I'm about sick of everybody bashing the Gators... I guess it is true, everybody hates you when you're at the top. :gator:
