Very good article. Two out of three ain't bad. An entire defense that was beginning to become great. Tim may not have to carry this team as much next, but it is nice that he will be there to carry it if needed.

This excerpt from the article was interesting:
Another piece of equipment that's important to his team: the cold tub. Leading up to Florida's game against LSU on Oct. 11, Meyer was worried. "We'd just beaten Arkansas but played very poorly," he says. "LSU was our first real big one, and our guys were incredibly uptight." Following that Friday's walk-through, Meyer was strolling past the training room when he saw several players soaking in the cold tub. "I thought, The hell with it," he recalls. "I took my phone out, made sure I didn't have anything else in my pockets and jumped in." Minus his shoes, he was otherwise fully clothed.
The following day the Gators trampled the Tigers 51--21. Left tackle Phil Trautwein, a superstitious type, insisted that for the rest of the season Meyer take the plunge following every walk-through. And last week in Miami, following the Wednesday walk-through, there was the coach shivering through his weekly ritual in a crowded tank. When asked if he'd learned to enjoy it yet, Meyer responded, "Are you kidding? It's like knives going through your body."
