Maybe enrolling early isn't a good idea.

I will be on the edge of my seat waiting for Saban's opinion on this.

Seriously, hope the kid is ok.

Meyer's mistake was allowing him to go home between semesters. Saban would have locked him into the video conference room.

What a shame. I hope he does make a full recovery. There's too much violence in the world today. All these guys carrying guns because they are afraid of an a$$ whoppin make me sick.

It was probably a Miami player. Patchan is the one who called the Miami players out after his recruiting visit to Miami last year for having no heard. I just find it hard to believe that a kid in the top 1% of 1% (this is what Meyer claimed he would recruit at Florida) would get shot in the shoulder. Anyway, hope the kid has a full recovery.

Several notes here (some serious; some not):
1. It's Fulmer's fault.
2. Adams' next article/Bama talk show is about the infallable virtues of UF.
3. Credit cards don't stop bullets.
4. McOwned found a gun while picking up trash at the TPC....video later shows him on a grassy knoll in Tampa shouting, "I'm obsessed and in love with the Vols."
5. Credit card fraud & a shooting really make shouting and waving your arms in a parking lot look serious, now doesn't it?

From Jacksonville sports radio this afternoon:
Patchan was present when a fight broke out. Meyer is saying he was a bystander.
Hmmmmm.
No matter what is fact or fiction, I hope Patchan is ok.

Urbane should seriously consider getting these stalwart lads some gun permits. My philosophy has always been to return fire.

Its much better with 12 deciding then 6 carrying.

Too much of this going on..Even if it was a Gator..And no school is able to stop it..No coach can stop it..only the people that are on a team or scholarship can stop this junk..Just too much and at every school. Hope this young man is o.k.

John Adams: please write another article calling for the firing of Coach Fulmer! Your article was sooo correct that he has lost control. ONLY CFP's players are thugs. Just admit you were way off base for your article...and UT fans will most likely accept your apology. It doesn't matter if your from the group to 'fire' Fulmer or support him. This is about you being WRONG. Man UP and say you were wrong in stating Fulmer should be fired!

Posted by IPOrange on May 12, 2008 at 7:59 p.m. (Suggest removal)

It'll never happen, jasvol. Although any blind fool can tell this a widespread problem and not just a TN problem, Adams would never admit it. Don't hold your breath.

Urban Meyer commented that he is really, really upset that anyone would shoot one of his choir boys.

"Matt Patchan was playing in a sandbox with a homeless four-year-old when a rival fan, maybe even a Tennessee or FSU player, came up and shot my guy for no reason. I won't have that. That's not cool."

Asked if any discipline would await Patchan, Meyer snapped, "I'm the judge and jury with anybody that I recruit. He won't miss any playing time, but you can bet he'll think again before getting in any shenanigans. We don't do that at Florida."

John Adams, called for his comment on Florida's situation, chastised this reporter for even bothering. "I'm on Alabama radio in five minutes to call for Phillip Fulmer's head, and you want to bother me about Florida? I can only handle one treachery at a time."

I feel bad for both guys. But especially the other guy. A kicker gets shot in the foot? That's horrible luck. There could be very serious consequences for this guy's future. Much more so than Patchan. A shoulder does not have to be load bearing and so is more likely to recover quickly.

I heard that he got shot by the guy at the impound lot when he was helping the other Florida player steal his car back. Oh, wait... that was last year! Man, am I glad that Urban Meyer is so in control of his own program down in GAYnesville! I'll bet we never hear another word about this incident from him, either. --At least Fulmer would suspend a player for a couple of games for getting caught up in something like this.

Posted by sjt18 on May 13, 2008 at 9:10 a.m. (Suggest removal)

vscebail, Nope. This was all Fulmer's fault. Expect Adams to appear on a Bama radio show soon to explain how he did it... His proof will be rendered by a new video innovation by none other than Nick Saban... Who just continues to revolutionize what it means to be a coach in the SEC.

This will strengthen the bond between coach and player at UF. UM is very partial to gunshot victims, he himself lost a chin from a gunshot in a tragic hunting accident a few years ago.

Danny Wuerffel was a suspect, til the police tested his firearm and realized the bullet was on track, just didn't have the velocity to penetrate the skin.

Investigation is back to square one...

Lofton4: True. But Wuerffel was one of the most accurate college QB's I ever saw.

Yes he was extremely accurate, just had nothing on it. I think he may have actually been left handed and no one told him growing up.

Where was Tim "Superman: faster than a speeding bullet" Tebow when he was needed? I suspect he was engrossed in a Queer Eye for the Straight Guy marathon with Joiner.

Seriously, glad the kid is OK.

TJ, lose the Wuerffel reference. Its bad enuf to see Tebow engineering 600 yds, much less to think back to the days of the 16 yard sideline gems.

Dang!
