Previewing the Florida Gators offense for spring: Podcast

March 04, 2016

This GatorCountry podcast focuses on previewing the offensive side of the ball for the Florida Gators spring practices that start next Wednesday afternoon in Gainesville.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre break down each position on the offensive side of the ball, plus highlights the key position battles for this spring.

Andrew and Nick also preview the Florida Gators softball and baseball teams weekend series, plus talk a little Gators basketball in the podcast as Florida plays at Missouri on Saturday.

TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? Your man, Andrew Spivey, here. My man, Nicholas de la Torre. Nicholas, bringing fire podcast on gify day on Twitter today. We’re starting to be gify central. What’s going on?

Nick:                         You’re coming along nicely there with the gifs. I think they’re supposed to be gifs, but you can’t make a word, put it out there, and then a year later tell me that I’m saying it wrong. Should have said something earlier, buddy. Today is football preview day. We’ll preview the offense. I know everyone has been loving the baseball and softball coverage, as both of those teams are now unanimous #1s, but this is what you’re really here for. It’s almost football season, spring football season.

Andrew:                 No. People are really here for me, the Goat. I took a break from it, because people didn’t like it, but I’ve come to realize this. Does it matter what people think? It only matters what I think. The people are here for me really, Nicholas.

Nick:                         Maybe we should get you a reality TV show, and if you’re listening to this, tweet at me what Spivey’s reality TV show would be called, and I will retweet some of the better ones.

Andrew:                 It’s what? Keeping Up with the Kardashians? Isn’t that what it’s called?

Nick:                         That’s one of them.

Andrew:                 I don’t know what I could be. Following the Goat. That could be something. That could be cool. That could be really cool. I won’t bore the people no more. Football season. 365 days a year. It really does seem like just yesterday that we were in Orlando for the bowl game. It really doesn’t seem like it’s been that long ago, and some teams are almost done. I know Arizona’s halfway through with spring practice. Vandy’s midway through spring practice. Michigan’s down in Bradenton pissing people off. Let’s go.

Nick:                         Bielema said he was going to go down to open practice on Friday. NCAA told him that he cannot attend open practice.

Andrew:                 Mark Dantonio.

Nick:                         That would have been hilarious if 20 head coaches from other schools show up to Michigan’s practice.

Andrew:                 That would have been funny. Here’s the thing, and this is kind of, it almost makes my point even more clear. The NCAA says it’s a quiet period. Okay. So other coaches can’t go, but you granted Michigan. No. You’re wrong.

Nick:                         What if Brett brings his team?

Andrew:                 Yeah.

Nick:                         I guess if only the coach comes it’s a recruiting trip. If he brings a player, then the player’s just training.

Andrew:                 Whatever. It’s so much crock of crap. It’s so stupid.

Nick:                         Good for Jim Harbaugh, because it’s not as easy in my mind to recruit if you’re at a Big Ten school, versus an SEC school. He found a loophole, and he shimmied his way right through it.

Andrew:                 He did. It is what it is. That
