O-town Gator
Gator Fan
"Coming off the field after the Orange and Blue spring game where he had just seen a rather remarkable display of athleticism and talent, right into the sea of well-wishing high school coaches in town for a clinic, over to another impressive group of high school recruits, Meyer was brimming with enthusiasm.

Try as he may to hold that straight flush close to his vest, Meyer could no longer resist expressing the enthusiasm he holds for this 2010 Florida team, the new players, the coaches and The Gator Nation.
