    One of Florida's prized offseason transfer acquisitions was, in a way, brought in to replace one of Florida's prized offseason transfer acquisitions from a year ago.

    Not to a T — Micah Mazzccua is expected to play left guard, opposite of O'Cyrus Torrence's right guard spot. But their additions to Florida's roster, and more specifically offensive line, have been considered instrumental through Billy Napier's first two offseason cycles in Gainesville.

    We need 4 more roadgraders just like him.
    Goodwin should rise to 1st team very soon.

    Good group of folks along that line. Napier and company have put together quite the assemblage of beefy boyz. Seems like not long ago we called them the 'big Uglies', I guess that's out of favor and all-I suppose Road Graders is better anyway.

    The best College teams in the land have big-ass, angry, protective dudes along the line. Keeping our QBs' jersey clean is important. Having that extra second to scan the field is a good thing - being able to create lanes for our RB's. What a stable of riches we have there.

    As a fan, I'm grateful for the rebuild that's happening. I'm cautiously optimistic.

    I've been grateful over the years for the kids that have chosen to wear the orange and blue. But of late, some of these kids really impress me. Not only as athletes but these guys have character.

    It's all good.:eek::p

    Go Gators.:D

    What’s that about? Didn’t he just waste his free transfer?

    Just saw he's transferring already. What is this about? He's the biggest offseason transfer and now he's gone. This doesn’t make a lot of sense. Huge blow.

    All indications suggest he could really help us this year. Hate to see him go.
    Have no idea what prompted his decision, but it’s mighty easy for these young men to leave nowadays.

    Don’t want to spread rumors as who the hell knows what is true….some folks claiming/stating that he got hurt recently and when asked to keep showing up for meeting and or rehab he didn’t. Same people said he was benched last few games of last year as well for similar attitude. No idea if any is true but sharing what I’ve seen posted.
