From an unnamed source, names redacted to protect the innocent...

DB1 whips WR1 in a drill. DB1 taunts WR1; WR1 challenges DB1 to do the drill again. When WR1 shoves the next WR in line aside to do the drill over, everyone takes notice.

WR1 beats DB1 on the do over, which got the offensive players a whoopin' and a whompin'. That pissed off all the DBs. Apparently only DBs are allowed to run smack.

A couple drills later, DB2 stands up WR2, lifts him up and slams him down. WRs converge on DB2, which leads to DBs coming in to support their guy. A minor scrum ensues.

Eyewitness accounts say Hargreaves and Andre Debose were attempting to be peacemakers during the dust up, which is encouraging because typically Debose doesn't like getting his nails dirty.

Good news for us is VH3 is okay and shouldn't miss any games.

That's normally who gets injured, the guy trying to break it up.

At least it sounds like he ll be good after a few days.

Without giving too much away, I'm not bullish on the idea that the scrum...more importantly the events that led to it...is a good thing for our defense.

Ask yourself this question, why would the WRs go ape$h!t after one of their own turned the tables on a DB who just owned him?

On the one hand it could mean our much maligned WRs are tired of hearing how much they suck, and how talented our young DBs are.

On the other hand it could mean our DBs are full of themselves, don't give full effort from one play to the next...and they don't respect their teammates.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

Im sure it is. You don't really hope to see fights break out on any team especially if somebody goes down with a serious injury (which didn't really happen here) but sometimes its a positive sign in some ways.

Fights break out all the time in camp. The word brawl keeps getting thrown around, but really it was two guys that threw punches, and all of the rest either barking or trying to break it up.

This wouldn't even had made headlines had VH3 not been injured.

I do like the competition though. UF's WR's need to rediscover that competitive edge. I'm sure the DB's have just gotten used to owning them the past few years.

Considering the type of players UF recruits they might consider a metal detector at the practice field gates.

And it's not like 25-30 guys were throwing punches and drop kicking fools.

2 guys fought. If VH3 hadn't been hurt, this wouldn't even be news.

If VH3 didn't get hurt the headlines would read something like this...

Gainesville Sun:
UF WRs More Competitive Than Ever; Reidel Anthony and Ike Hilliard Claim "They're better than us."

Knoxville News-Sentinel:
UF Team Implosion Continues After Players Fight At Practice; UF Campus Police Investigate Possible Ties to Mexican Drug Cartel

The truth is somewhere in between.
