January 22, 2016

This GatorCountry podcast has two special guest as tight end Jake McGee and Senior Bowl rep Patrick Woo joined the podcast to preview next week's Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.

Andrew Spivey and Nick de la Torre asked McGee what he's looking forward to during next week's game, plus what he has been working on during his time since the bowl game.

Andrew and Nick talk with Woo about the Senior Bowl selection process, plus what they saw from the Florida Gators players that will participate in the game.

TRANSCRIPT:

Andrew:                 What’s up, Gator Country? This is the one, the only, Andrew Spivey, with the man, Nicholas de la Torre. What’s up, Nicholas?

Nick:                         Just wrapping things up in Gainesville before I head out to Alabama. What do you guys call that state?

Andrew:                 We call it Alabama. We don’t call it nothing else.

Nick:                         Like Florida’s the Sunshine State. What’s Alabama?

Andrew:                 I don’t know. I don’t know what it is. It’s called Alabama.

Nick:                         How do you not know the nickname of Alabama?

Andrew:                 Technically it’s Nick Saban’s state, but I don’t like to say that. It is what it is. Senior Bowl week rolling in. We got some good guests coming on today. My man, Jake McGee, tight end. What is it? Jake over the world? Is that what it is, Nicholas?

Nick:                         Jake over the world, yeah.

Andrew:                 Yeah. Then Senior Bowl, one of the Senior Bowl reps, Patrick Woo. He’s a big instrumental part in kind of the picking of these guys. He goes around, evaluates all these guys. You and I were able to see him several times during the season. So we’re going to talk to both of those guys. Talk to Jake about just the experience of getting down there and playing in this elite All-Star game, and then talk to Patrick about what kind of goes into these games. Two good interviews to look forward to. Nick, before we go to the Senior Bowl we need to preview this coming weekend’s official visitors. It’s not going to be a huge amount of people coming in this weekend, but it’s more so going to be kind of some guys they need to land on this weekend. Unlike last weekend were they were kind of behind on a lot of guys that were coming in, this weekend they got legit shots at a couple of players coming into town.

Nick:                         Yeah. Last two weekends I think, obviously all three of these weekends since the dead period are very important. I think still in my opinion it’s that next weekend, the 29th is the big, big weekend, but this is a very important weekend. Florida’s still trying to finish strong. I know on Wednesday Twitter was in a meltdown saying everything was ruined, because a couple wide receivers decided, or took Florida out of the running. This is an important weekend, despite what Twitter will tell you. Every weekend is important. It’s also important to remember that Florida has a very good class and a gigantic class that has kind of been wrapped up for a while.

Andrew:                 Yeah. It’s one of those deals where Florida continues to get good talent on campus, and the last two weekends are there. Mac puts together his last weekend to kind of finish the door strong, finish strong. Has some big visitors next weekend, but this weekend the quick rundown here. Aaron Robinson, everyone knows about his test score, doesn’t have one, so he’s coming on an unofficial visit this weekend. Gator commit, Antonneous Clayton’s coming in. Top speed rusher, Brian Burns is coming in this weekend. Florida, Florida State, Georgia are battling here. Florida needs a good visit this weekend.
