Welcome friends and foes

This is the home for all things Orange and Blue Reunion. It's a place for a weary traveler to find lodging. It's a place for a rabid fan to find his antidote. It's a place to catch up with your fellow O.N.B-ers. It's the official Orange and Blue Reunion site of Urban Meyer.

The Orange and Blue "Reunion" coincidently corresponds with the Orange and Blue Debut. Go figure. Saturday, April 18th, the Gators will partake in its annual spring scrimmage and we will be there. Our hope is that you'll be there too.

We are caging interest and seeing how many will be in attendance as we make plans for the weekend's activities. We will be sure to include plenty of fellowship time before and after the game including a cook-out of sorts.

There is a Facebook event being floated around that Kristy sent out. Please be sure to reply to that if you are interested. Or email me if you'd like. Nick - agentCQ@gmail.com

Hope to hear from you all and to see you at the Orange and Blue Renuion. Please check back every once in awhile to get updates or at least to see some of the latest Orange and Blue spoof videos.

Lane's lame


What I love about the story is the fact that Lane shows a blatant disregard for by-laws, rules and recruiting rhetoric. He was obviously trying to pump his boosters and supporters by saying what he said but let's use this as an opportunity to pry into his character. Twice Lane acting against, or at least, without knowing SEC and NCAA regulations. The first is that he thought calling a recruit during a visit was illegal and second, publicly calling out another institution or individual for alleged violations. He must have learned that from Fulmer and his case against Alabama so you can't blame the kid.

What disturbs me the most is what Lane led Nu'keese Richardson to believe about those phone calls. If Lane addressed these phone calls as illegal weeks later in front of Tennessee boosters I'm sure he shared the same perspective with Richardson. Now this is stipulation, but I can imagine the conversation going something to the effect that Lane told Nu'keese that if he signed with Florida that Giffin and his staff would certainly break the news of Florida's "illegal" recruiting practices and thus jeopardize Nu'keese's career and certainly the Gators chance of winning a national championship with him since they would be serving probation during Richardson's time there.

I wouldn't doubt Lane telling Nu'keese that and using fear to commit him to UT. So in the end, the only person's who's ethics are to be called into question in all of this is Lane's. Unfortunately, the talking heads are quick enough or upset enough to bring this to light but it made me stop and wonder if that conversation took place. Now I could care less if we landed this kid or not. I just like the fact that Meyer has a valid reason to run up the score on Tennessee this year...at the Swamp. Oh, and if I'm a Vol fan I can't be feeling well about who the head ball coach is. To act so brash and foolishly in a meditated act such as this makes you wonder what he'll be like in the heat of a contested matchup. At least we'll always have this to "hang our hat on".
