    Bill unfortunately I think Polite is gone but you may have meant Perine who is coming back. I have read all of our receivers and all of our running backs except Scarlett are coming back so that along with an improving Franks and new blood from Emory Jones should make our offense the best we have seen since the Tebow days. Throw in what should still be a salty defense and I think UF will be a tough out next year.

    I remember you mentioning that Sid. How did you fare in your contests? Do you use confidence points or just straight up? I seem to enjoy the contests and it really is not that difficult or time-consuming. Thank you for your kind words.

    We just do straight up for fun. I did not fare well, but my picks of Texas and Clemson kept me out of the cellar in both. :)

    We have a bowl contest at my Gym, $20 entry fee. I won 120$, given how I finished here those guys must be really bad pickers! :)
