I am happy the Gators won. SEC Teams were in 9 bowls and won at least six of them, including a BSC AND National Championship. If that don't shut nobody up, nothing will. There are just going to be a lot of haters there.
Hey USCTKE, what you think about Sidney (who is way better than overhyped Derrick anyway) going pro early?

I still dont quite know where I stand...I do wish him all the best in the NFL but Im honestly not sure that he is ready. I've heard some rumors that he family was really in need of money, if that is the case then its right for him to go, but I still dont like him saying all along that he was coming back only to jump ship after the bowl game. This could turn out to be a pretty good decision by SR if he has good workouts, but in a very deep WR draft it could turn out that he falls to the 2nd round. Sidney doesnt have a lot of speed for an NFL WR (he has good speed, which he has improved while at USC, but still not great speed for the NFL); he needs to get stronger and more physical; and he has to work on his hands, look at his clips from last year anything near him he brought down, fast forward to the Auburn game this season he goes up for three jump balls and doesnt come down with any of them, fast forward again to the Liberty Bowl against Houston again two jump balls that he did not come down with...at 6'4 with his jumping ability he is going to have to come down with those balls if he hopes to become a superstar in the NFL.
As far as how our football team will be without him, we will move on. Kenny McKinley really stepped up this season and should put up great numbers next season. Guys like Moe Brown, Jared Cook, Freddie Brown, and Mike West (catch the damn ball) are going to have to step up and I believe they will. Plus Spurrier has a pretty good class of WR coming onto campus in the fall (look for either Jason Barnes or Joseph Hills, both 6'4, to likely replace Sidney as more of a posession type of reciever; and add to that guys like Larry Freeman and hopefully Chris Culliver and Deon Lecorn and we should be set at WR for the next 4 years)
