What's the Fuss?

Jamar Hornsby, the former Florida Gators football player who was arrested on charges of credit card theft after using Ashley Slonina’s gas card, received an extension on his pre-trial conference on Monday.

Hornsby is expected announce whether he will plead or request a trial on Dec. 1.

If Hornsby chooses a trial, it is expected to start on Dec. 8.

If he chooses to plea at his pretrial conference, a judge will schedule a plea hearing and then a sentencing hearing.

After watching Saturday’s games, it’s pretty clear to me now who I think will play in the FedEx BCS National Championship Game.

Florida and Penn State.

The Gators’ defense and special teams are just too strong. And now that Urban Meyer has finally figured out that by playing Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, Percy Harvin and Brandon James together, it opens up the field for Tim Tebow to keep on running.

The Nittany Lions got by Ohio State in unimpressive fashion. But folks, remember, it’s the Big Ten. Games like this aren’t typically overwhelming. It’s defense, defense, defense, kind of like the old NFC Central, you know, the Black and Blue Division. Penn State will win out and win the Big Ten.

Here’s how they both get to the BCS: Florida defeat Georgia on Saturday and move into the Top 5 of the BCS. The Gators will win the SEC East and Alabama will win the SEC West. They’ll meet in Atlanta for the SEC Championship Game and the Gators will win, knocking off the No. 2 team in the country.

Texas will lose in the Big 12 Championship Game and fall from the graces of No. 1. Penn State, now No. 3, will move up to No. 1 and Florida will end up No. 2.

Thus, the matchup for the national title.

Enjoy.

Florida will say goodbye to a legend after this season.

No, not Tim Tebow.

Mr. Two-bits, George Edmondson, will call it quits after leading the now-famous cheer for 60 years. Once a staple at high school football games, the two-bits cheer is now pretty much a Florida Gators staple.

The cheer goes:
“Two bits, four bits, six bits a dollar, all for the Gators, stand up and holler.”

The University of Florida will honor Edmondson, 84, before Saturday’s game against Kentucky. Kick off is at 11:30 a.m. CDT, but fans are asked to be in their seats by 11:10 a.m. for the pregame tribute.

Florida coach Urban Meyer gave an updated injury report during Wednesday’s Southeastern Conference coaches conference call.

He said Louis Murhphy was “going to be OK.” Murphy injured his neck during the recovery of an onside kick.

Chris Rainey won’t have contact during this week’s practice after seperating his shoulder, but Meyer said Rainey will be ready to go on Oct. 25 against Kentucky.

The final Gator mentioned in the injury report was running back Emmanuel Moody. He’s been suffering from a nagging ankle injury. Meyer said Moody has been pushing to play and there might be a “chance that he’s questionable for Kentucky.”

Florida is a 4.5 point favorite over LSU Saturday, according to Harrah’s Race and Sports Book.
