Cincinnati Gators

According to Gator Clause at the Miami Herald blog, Urban has decided not to take a leave of absence and will join the team in the spring. This should help recruiting!

Urban Meyer said on Saturday night at the basketball game that he's not taking a leave of absence and plans to coach the Gators during spring football. Here's what I want to know: Did anything really change over the last month? AND, was it any coincedence that Meyer dropped this news bombshell on the weekend super recruit Ronald Powell visited Gainesville?

ANYWAY, it's good news for the Gators and bad news for everyone else. Here's a copy of my story for Sunday's newspaper. Nice win by the Gators men's basketball team on Saturday, by the way. Florida defeated South Carolina 58-56 on a last-second shot by UF junior forward Chandler Parsons. Florida has won three straight since beginning its conference schedule 0-2. If the Gators keep this up, they'll be back in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. Check Sunday's paper for my basketball story.

I'm heading to Mobile, Ala., the city of my birth, on Sunday for weeklong coverage of the Senior Bowl. I'll be writing about Tim Tebow, Dolphins, Canes and everything else that comes along. Of course, I'll only be blogging about the Gators.
