Committed to Florida without a coach... must be pretty confident. Thought he would've been an NCSU lock.

Congrats Taz, good luck. Maybe you can knock the crap out of us in a bowl game. That would be deserving.

Wow you are a psychic. And I thought I was over it.

This is a sad story. It has to be the National Championship curse.

Clarrett??

Fla. Gun Law to Expand Leeway for Self-Defense

The Florida measure says any person "has the right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force if he or she reasonably believes it is necessary to do so to prevent death or great bodily harm."
Florida law already lets residents defend themselves against attackers if they can prove they could not have escaped. The new law would allow them to use deadly force even if they could have fled and says that prosecutors must automatically presume that would-be victims feared for their lives if attacked.

Uh, so what's the use of having a gun for protection if you can't use it for other than scare tactics or as a ball bat? If someone is coming at me and I have a loaded gun, I'm dropping his ass...

In general, self-defense law doesn't allow you to use lethal force in all self-defense instances. There is the idea of proportional force: you are restricted in what force you can use by the threat. If you don't reasonably believe you are in danger of serious bodily injury or death, you aren't justified to use deadly force.

Of course, things vary by jurisdiction (read: Texas), but that is the norm.

I'll look at the silver lining... Taz can get ahead on the class credits and keep the GPA heading north...while hitting the weight room with a vengeance... and come back a much smarter, mature and ready man...

Ya got a second chance young fella... take advantage of it... this is the best that could have happened...

if he transfers, doesn't he have to sit out a year, making it a 1 year suspension anyway? Then again, will he get that year back at the end...I forget...

He can transfer only if Urban releases him from scholarship, at which point he is treated like any other transfer. His suspension is UF-mandated so that obviously wouldn't go with Ronnie.

Let's take Marcel Frost for example. Tressel let him walk because he was more trouble than he could make up for on the field, and was playing for Jackson St. a month later since he dropped a division.
