Meyer encourages fans to ‘White Out Cancer’ at season opener
Florida Gators Head Football Coach Urban Meyer is encouraging Gator fans to trade their orange and blue for white as "Gators White Out Cancer" at the Aug. 30 home football game against University of Hawaii.
In recognition of the University of Florida and Shands HealthCare commitment to cancer research focused on treatment, prevention, control and education, fans are encouraged to wear white shirts and hats to the game.
"We want Gator fans to enjoy the excitement of outdoor activities like football games, but we also want them to be safe from the dangers that come with overexposure to the sun," said Jill Varnes, professor in the College of Health and Human Performance, who helped design the Gator SHADE program.
Fans are encouraged to come by the Alltel Wireless Gator FanFest celebration on the O’Connell Center lawn prior to the 12:30 p.m. kickoff to learn more about protecting themselves and their families from skin and other forms of cancer. The first 10,000 fans will receive a free specially designed Gator SHADE white hat and have the opportunity to meet members of the most successful softball team in UF history.
So let's all listen to our beloved coach and wear white! But make sure you throw a little orange and blue in there somewhere too! See you on Saturday! Gooooo Gators!

Gators WR Battle - Last Man Standing

With one spot remaining, the wide receiver battle is on between Florida juniors Riley Cooper and Carl Moore. Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy are locked in as starters with Deonte Thompson running with the two in the "z" position designated for quick playmakers.
Wide receivers coach Billy Gonzalez said, "We're waiting for someone to step up and take the position." With that in mind, Cooper or Moore must show some impressive work before August 30.
Cooper had some shining moments against Western Carolina in 2006 and Western Kentucky and Tennessee in 2007. The Clearwater native has 6 receiving touchdowns on 12 receptions and averages 22 yards per carry. Not bad for just 2 starts and for a guy who spends the majority of Spring and Summer on the baseball field.
And then there's Carl Moore. The California junior college transfer is eyeing the remaining position just as much as Cooper. During his sophomore year at Sierra Community College, Moore raked in 1,068 yards on 73 receptions with 16 touchdowns.
Now I'm no football expert, well yes, for a chick, I pretty much am...it doesn't take much sense to know junior college competition is a far cry from the bloodbath known as the SEC. So a comparison by numbers is pretty much child's play in these two distant worlds. Gonzalez says Cooper is as talented as any receiver across the country with other coaches saying Moore reacts naturally on the field instead of methodically running routes.
Just 11 days remains for these two to battle it out for that coveted starting position. So what's my opinion you ask? My vote is for Cooper. He has two years of Gator football under his belt and despite a few injuries along the way, he's shown some very impressive play. Plus he's Tebow's roommate now. I just don't think you could ask for much more.
