Gator Comments:Meyer-Leak-Siler

Urban Meyer
"We play in a great rival game. Two years ago we started something called the Gator Experience and that's every summer we have some speakers come in from championship teams or great teams. We show a great highlight tape about a 15-minute highlight tape of all the great games and rivalry games. One of the unique characteristics about this job is you have some great rivalry games. A lot of schools have one and some have none and we have obviously three terrific ones. This is kinda the new era. The old Gators it seemed to be Florida/Georgia. The new one seems to be this one coming up."

Chris Leak, QB

On FSU…
“I have always had a great respect for their program and Coach Bowden. They have a lot of national titles and they have always been one of the best teams in the ACC.”
On UF-FSU…

“Anytime Florida and Florida State come together, most of the teams have a lot to play for just through the rivalry and the tradition of the game. Looking back, when I was growing up and just watching the rivalry back then, it was always a huge game regardless of records.”

Brandon Siler, LB

On UF-FSU…
“This is Florida-Florida State. I grew up thinking this was the biggest game ever in college football. The rivalry is the biggest thing. There is going to be passion out there that you don’t see in other games. You know this is the biggest game, especially if you are from Florida.”
