Countdown to Opening Day.

Hey admins, how about making this bad boy a sticky????

Let's start the countdown to Sept. 5, when the Gators open up their bid to become repeat national champions against national power Charleston Southern.

94 Days

Justin Trattou will share playing time with Carlos Dunlap at the DE position opposite of Jermaine Cunningham. He showed glimpses last season of why he was a top rated recruit coming out of high school.

93 DAYS

Javier Estopinan capped off a decent Gator career last year in a way unimaginable. He rambled into the endzone in a blowout victory over Citadel to capture his one and only touchdown as a Gator.

92 DAYS

Terron Sanders figures to be one of the more improved players on UF's roster this season. Along with Lawrence Marsh, expect Sanders to get some significant time at DT this year.

91 DAYS

Derrick Harvey made himself a Gator legend with his big game against Ohio St. in the 2006 BCS National Championship. He followed that up with a stellar season on a very youthful Gator defense in 2007. This year, DE's Jermaine Cunningham, Justin Trattou and Carlos Dunlap will look to follow Harvey's example.

90 DAYS

Something tells me Mr. Crompton will see plenty more of this sight in Gainesville this season....

I like what you are doing... adding a picture and little caption each day... keep it up


I cant wait!!!!!!!!!!

Actually LBG, Crompton will be on his back a lot.

So true. Maybe he'll get up and yell at the wrong player like he did last year.

89 DAYS

Sorry about the size of the pic. Not too many 89's to choose from. Nattiel is one of my all-time favorite Gators, even though I may have been a little too young to fully enjoy his game. BTW, the most recent 89 we've had on our team that was really worth anything: Erron Kinney.

88 DAYS

Another small pic. Sorry but we haven't had a good No. 88 since, well, Erron Kinney. That's two in a row! We'll play a little game. Who, besides Mahxfahn and J-Ville Gator, can tell me who that is in the pic?

 

[MahxFahn]

man, you're no fun...........Is he lookin' around for a hit on sean salisbury?

 

[leakbrewergator]

Ha! It sure does look like it.

 

[leakbrewergator]

Well, Mahx, I guess you can tell everyone who it is since there were no guesses...

87 DAYS

Justin Williams. Is he a receiver? Is he a DB? He's whatever the hell Urban Meyer wants him to be. Gotta love a player like that. Hopefully he'll get a chance at some more playing time on this team. The casual fan probably doesn't realize that Williams has been one of our better special teams players over the last few seasons.

Well, Mahx, I guess you can tell everyone who it is since there were no guesses...

One of the all-time Gator Greats, Wilber Marshall

86 DAYS

I know, I know. Coop changed his number to 11. But I liked it so much better when he was 86. It was just refreshing to see a good receiver actually wearing a receiving number. Plus, it seemed like he was more productive wearing the 86 anyway.

 

[Leakfan12]

Agreed LBG then again 10-19 are numbers for NFL receivers like Larry Fitzgerald and college football is a different story with DBs and RBs with 1-49. LBs and DEs with any number. WRs 1-49 to 80-89. I wish when assigned a number they keep that number but that's me.
