Gators are everywhere...
Here are a few excerpts of a column from yesterday's Orlando Sentinel about Rex Grossman and the perceived Gator luck. They made me laugh...or maybe it was a snicker.
Mike Bianchi
Grossman, ex-Gators all the rage
Published January 22, 2007
"You see, perceptions and statistics and reputations don't matter in today's sports world, where Gators karma supersedes all else. You know it, we know it, even Grossman knew it before leading the Chicago Bears to a 39-14 annihilation of the New Orleans Saints in the NFC title game Sunday."
"Lions and Tigers and Bears -- and Gators. Oh my. No matter what we try to do to escape the infinite, incessant, imperishable Gators lovefest, we just can't. Baseball, basketball, football -- they're everywhere. The entire sports world is crawling with Gators -- chomping, chanting, chiding Gators.
The football team won the national championship.
The basketball team won the national championship.
UF alumnus David Eckstein won the World Series MVP for the St. Louis Cardinals.
Former Gators Udonis Haslem and Jason Williams were integral parts of the Miami Heat's march to the NBA championship. Even Gators grad Emmitt Smith won Dancing with the Stars.
I don't know about you, but my money is on Gators golfer Chris DiMarco to win the Masters. And if Bull Gator Bob Graham decides to un-retire and run for president, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama don't stand a chance."
