Fourth and Dumb

Huzzah! The day of signing twelfth form matriculates to commitments for college is upon us! No popinjays allowed!

So much for trying to sound like Montgomery Burns, an idea that Red Stripe has made me think would be funny. Yay, Beer, indeed!

Not too many surprises on signing day, but a couple things:

Gators get OL Chaz Green late in the afternoon to cement the overall #1 consensus class. Like every year, the boilerplate reminder that dudes still have to pan out is well taken, but note that Bama and Texas and Florida have had multiple top-five consensus classes in the last four seasons and have lived at the top of the rankings.

Kiffy showed he’s not to be taken lightly as a recruiter, snagging Huge Human Seantrel Henderson at dinner time to stay in the top ten.

As a Gator, I’m constitutionally bound to hate Tennessee, but I will always keep a soft spot in my heart for signee Da’Rick Rogers, as he said today that he picked the Vols partly because Kiffin had left. My kind of kid!

FSU has restocked the pantry, and we can expect them to be very dangerous sooner rather than later, though for next season the defense should still be a bit of a disaster.

Sigh. One problem. After today, truly college football is over for now. Let’s start counting down till spring games, baby!
