Will Muschamp is “campaigning”…

It’s “football”---NOT politics---

but the new coach of the

Florida Gators is

“stumping”---in Gainesville…

Tampa…Jacksonville…Lakeland…

"important PRECINCTS"

in the “high-stakes business

of college athletics”…

REVIEWS have been “gushing”…

Audiences cheer

Muschamp’s “energy”… they

love his “down-home personality”…

they're AMAZED at Will's

RECALL of names of

dozens of players

the coach FIRST MET “about

four months ago”… Muschamp

answers ALL questions---

BUT---you DO hear “complaints”…

NOT about Muschamp's “road show”

but from communites that

feel “left out” because their

town is not on his docket…

Ocala, for instance…

It’s roughly a half-hour

from the UF campus---

in a COUNTY of

almost 300,000 residents…

NO QUESTION---A “big-time

college football coach

in the 21st century”

has “a multitude

of obligations”---his STAFF…

TEAM… FAMILY…MEDIA…

It is a fact that SUPPORT

for FLORIDA FOOTBALL is

“statewide AND beyond”…

BUT DON’T FORGET---

the “Gators also play

18 other sports”---from

baseball to basketball…

softball to gymnastics…

I would guess

that “95 percent of the

crowds” for “THE OTHER 18”

“come from within

70 miles of University Avenue...

OKAY, that said--it IS

for sure that Will Muschamp

is doing well at

"amassing support"---

OF COURSE---"the big referendum"

comes in a few months---

what counts MOST for

the new coach is---

HOW MANY football

games he wins… I’m Hubert Mizell,

and that’s what I think.
