We’re in “sports transition”…

college basketball’s Final Four is this weekend---but

“interest” has THINNED in our neighborhood---with

the Gators “eliminated”… AND, another

SLAMMER---Donovan's No. 1 coaching

sidekick---Larry Shyatt---departing to be

head manh at Wyoming...

Major League Baseball’s “NEW YEAR”

is under way---162 games to go---

I’m predicting a

Red Sox-Phillies WORLD SERIES…

GOLF is “revving up”---we’re

a week from the

“MAJESTIC beauty and combat”

of the Masters---“wondering” if

“one of the skidding giants”---

Tiger Woods OR Phil Michelson---

will “suddenly FIND IT” at Augusta---

where BOTH have “won plenty”

But the “biggest mystery of all”

is Will Muschamp’s

FIRST “Gator football team”…

Lots of “key players”

MISSING from “spring practice”---

EVEN SO, we’re “ravenous” to be

“fed some CLUES”…

Eight days from now---there’ll be

“a little chow-down”…

the Orange-and-Blue game…

CLUES about Florida’s

“NEW offensive and

defensive schemes”… GLIMPSES

at how individual athletes

are progressing---

“Biggest worry?”---offensive line…

“A MAJORITY OF EYEBALLS” will

focus on the

“Attempted Re-constitution” of

senior-to-be quarterback John Brantley---

working with the playbook of

“offensive GURU Charlie Weis”…

TRANSITION can be

“quite fascinating”…

I’m Hubert Mizell, and

that’s what I think.
