Urban Meyer stunned the college football world a year ago when he announced his resignation from his Florida Gator dynasty. He would pull a “not so fast, my friend” a day later, and decide just to take a leave of absence, and then go on to resume ruling the college football world. Oops.

1.) The newest ankle monitors issued to Gator players prevented them from getting into the endzone. (Ask the guys from Her Loyal Sons about Florida Gator arrests. Hint: There has been a lot of them.)

2.) Cam Newton decided leave Florida and go to Laptop Thieves Anonymous, and then enroll at rival Auburn. Seriously, Meyer must have been sadder to see that kid walk out the door than any girl he ever dated.

3.) The spread and Tim Tebow go together like peanut butter and chocolate. The spread and John Brantley go together like Cameron Diaz and hair product knowledge (”is that hair gel?”)

4.) He couldn’t find where Dan Mullen went to. Not even with his GPS.

5.)
He wants to be like Brett Favre. I’m going. I’m staying. I’m going. I’m staying. I’m….
