The only difference is Tebow fumbling the ball at your 3 and Brandon James returning a kick for a TD. The offensive and defensive numbers were very similar. And I don't base your entire season on the score of the UF game....especially when your coach said that Monte and his staff were preparing for us all winter, spring, summer, and fall.

This just tells me that you were either not paying attention during either of those games or simply have an abnormally short memory.

Hmm... done with his visits and not considering any schools right after his visit to UT were he had a great time. Could get interesting.

wait if this smokescreen thing is true then this guy wont announce he's signing with us until NSD or what?

Sounds negative, but eery similar to Nuke.... can't wait to see how it plays out. Most likely a gator but to make a run at him at all is a good thing.

Even more interesting, here is BTV's inside info from yesterday:

Looks like we will see the last name "Elam" across the back of a jersey next year. Huge props to 77 here... great call. I am hearing that he may not make it to the other visits and if he does it will be for fun. He loved every minute of it and told the coaches he saw no reason why he wouldn't be working out with them in January.

Personally, I couldn't think of a better way to get back at the UF fans and writers that have been trashing him...

Maybe you just didn't watch enough UT football last year to see how bad our offense really was.

Nuke didn't talk about beating Lane Kiffen either. Face it guys. Elam is a Gator. I know if i had the chance to choose i would choose the team that is winning.

I am just going to say that I disagree with you. I think your defense is REALLY talented. It was really good last year. Your offense sucks because it is very, very stale with little imagination and your QB sucks. You have a solid offensive line, a REALLY good RB, and 1 good WR (Jones) and a bunch of average ones.

Truth be told I don't see any difference in your team this year compared to your team last year. I expected more from Kiffin in that regard.

First of all, outside of running back, we have absolutely zero talent on offense. Our o-line has two 260-pound walk-ons and a converted TE. Our receivers cannot catch a pass. Crompton speaks for himself. Last year we lost all of our games halfway through the 2nd quarter. That has not happened this year. You must be watching a different team.

He won't be on the bench if he is good enough to play.

Dorsey will probably go to CB most likely. So that leaves just Dowling and Elam coming in to fight for that spot next to Will Hill.

Then add into the fact that Strong rotates his safties in and out all the time like he has done this year.

If he is good enough he will play. That is the moto with the Gators.

Bad news Vol fans

Matt Elam says he?s a Gator, done with visits | High School Buzz
Click to expand...

Anyone else find this article a little fishy? Maybe he really decided to stay a Gator, but even the writer didn't seem to think the drama was completely over (see: the last sentence of the article).

Also, the quote about Kiffin strikes me as "odd". The "smokescreen" that some have mentioned may be at play, or Elam may really be that brash. I find the quote odd because why would Elam, who just visited UT and was impressed by the coaching staff, go off and say something as volatile as that? It just doesn't seem to fit well.

The article certainly put a damper on my hopes, but I'm not fully convinced we're out of it with this guy.

All you two are doing is reminding me of that old Playstation game, Jet Moto.

I'm not sure, but it is definately strange. It is possible that he told meyer what he wanted to hear just to get him to shut up. I'm sure meyer hasn't had a solid bowel movement since Elam made all of those comments after the visit here and probably worried the hell out of him.

They called Bryce Brown and JJ long before anyone else. Everyone said they were on crack. FWIW

They also guaranteed Marlon Brown and Jesse Scroggins.

If you make enough predictions, you are bound to hit a couple.

You can read on here and get majority opinions, then predict we get player x, y, and z.

They are idiots.

J James and Elam, I really dont want to say I told you so when this is all over but the last 2 days only reinforce what I have been thinking the entire time.

I really hope i get to eat crow.

My gut says Elam is a Gator and Urban sold his soul to convince him to be a gator.
