Pat Dooley of The Gainesville Sun tries to quiet the “he’ll still go to Notre Dame” crowd by exploring Urban Meyer’s deep connection (after four years?) to Gainesville. And Meyer plays along with some heart-felt comments that sound like they could have been made on Oprah’s couch.

Robbie Andreu, also of The Sun, tells you what he’ll be looking for during Florida’s first few open practices.
Tim Tebow says Florida players are saying, “I can’t wait for practice, I can’t wait for two-a-days to get here.”

Not enough? You want three more questions about Florida’s season? Alright, here are three more questions about UF’s 2009 season.
Finally, Meyer’s contact might not look as big if Texas wins the national championship this year. Mack Brown could rake in more than $6 million if the Longhorns do win it all. Maybe then folks would stop crying about Meyer’s puny $4 mil salary.
