UF stressing unity

[O-town Gator]

Link to article at Gainesville Sun yesterday; after our Cap One Bowl loss last year Percy Harvin commented about how weak our team unity was last season. This is a crucial area for improvement if we want to contend for a title this season: http://www.gatorsports.com/article/20080805/news/451011699&tc=yahoo

Yeah Tebow the man he loves the game and this team he will do whatever he has to do to get another Championship! I mean we were solid last year just made young mistakes. It's okay though im feeling a NC this year.

Team unity is something built over time. The Gators were so young last year, but now they finally have some upperclassmen to be leaders in the locker room.

Agreed.

We may have gotten a little too complecent after winning the NC in 2006; that and perhaps some egos got a little too inflated as well. All that selfishness needs to be checked at the locker room door as far as our kids are concerned, and they need to work together as a team. The coaching staff can only do so much to try and generate the importance of team unity, and our players must take it on themselves to being this about. It's up to our seniors and the players' leadership committee to set the primary example.

United we stand; divided we fall.
