Urban Meyer is touting a race at the Florida spring football game that will pit the fastest UF students against the fleetest football players the Gators can muster.

The coach claims that if one of the dorm rats outraces the football players, he’ll be awarded a scholarship. The race will be part of ESPN’s Tim Tebow kneepad display broadcast of the Gators spring scrimmage.

UF already has the hype machine out, claiming to the PALM BEACH POST that one of the student contestants has run a 4.28 40-yard dash in the past. Sure. Read more…

Mike Bianchi of the ORLANDO SENTINEL writes today that Florida football coach Urban Meyer has been accused of enabling a girl to land a gymnastics scholarship at UF because her boyfriend was a highly-prized football recruit.

Bianchi: “There’s been much consternation on the recruiting message boards in recent days about Meyer’s controversial and potentially illicit recruitment of star junior college wide receiver Carl Moore and — here’s the juicy part — his girlfriend, Maranda Smith. There are reports that Moore likely wasn’t going to attend UF unless Smith — a gymnast who had competed for UCLA in 2006 but quit because of an injury — came to Gainesville, too.”

So what did we think when we saw this story? Of course, PICTURES! (and we’re not talking about Meyer or Moore).

The DETROIT FREE PRESS was so excited about Lloyd Carr winning a coach-of-the-year trophy, that they misspelled the award:

What they meant to say was the Bobby DODD award, named after the former Georgia Tech coach who apparently was pretty good at the game.

Carr said he was “deeply honored and humbled” to receive the award when he was interviewed during halftime of the Chick-Fil-A Bowl - or if you’re a Freep headline writer, the Flick-Chill-A.

Last year’s winner was Fake Whorest coach Jim Grodde…er, Wake Forest coach Jim Grobe.

The Dobby Bodd…er, Boddy Bobb…er, Bobby Dodd award comes as one last tribute the retiring Michigan coach. Carr will be leading the Wolverines for the last time on New Year’s Day in the Capital One Bowl, when they face Bourbon Rider & the Gloryda Flators…um, Urban Meyer & the Florida Gators.

Man, that Freep fouling-up thing is catching.
