Gators in trouble

During the Zooker's tenure, it was unsafe for women and children to venture outside their homes in Gainesville. Gainesvillians lived in constant fear of a Gator football player, and even the Zooker himself, popping out of the shadows to do all kinds of bodily harm.

When Urban Meyer came to town, everyone expected the Gator program to clean up it's act. Despite a few hiccups, Meyer has done just that. Unfortunately for Meyer and the UF coaching staff, the hiccups are usually pretty big. (See Jamar Hornsby)

One thing I have criticized Meyer for was allowing offensive linemen Ronnie Wilson back onto the Gator football team. I understand he paid his way back into college, but he was still a grade A douchebag. Wilson actually pulled out an automatic rifle and fired it into the air to scare some club goers in downtown Gainesville. After he was kicked off the team, he apparently changed his ways and Meyer let him back on. A few weeks ago, Wilson was kicked off the team for a second, and hopefully final time, after he punched a man, a woman, a kid, a school bus driver, a philodendron, and a JVC boombox. Wilson is still facing some legal action from his night of wildness and dumbassedness.

Fuck up #1:

I've always liked Jacques Rickerson. I actually hung out with some of his family members before a game once. They were all very nice people and I assumed their son was raised in a similar manner. It helped that Rickerson often performed rather well when he saw the playing field.

Now reports are coming out that Rickerson got into a domestic altercation with his girlfriend. This was no regular argument. During the dispute, Rickerson proceeded to strangle his girlfriend. When he felt that wasn't enough, he forced her onto the bed where he strangled her some more and placed a pillow over her head. Then, when his lady friend tried to leave the room, good 'ol Jacques grabbed her and refused to let her go.

Physical violence against a woman should never be tolerated. If Urban the Great doesn't immediately kick this ass clown off the team, I will renounce my Gator fan hood and return my degree to the University. Right now, we don't need one of those "we're waiting on all the facts" quotes from Meyer. The coaching staff needs to act now and get rid of this kid.
