'A Lot Of Good Drugs Out There, Huh?' - Florida Coach Jon Sumrall Was Stunned To Hear They Are Favored Over Ole Miss, Refuses To Believe It

I have a soft spot for Jon Sumrall. He's a Kentucky guy. He's a former player, a former coach and in an alternate world he was going to be our next head coach. So I'm a little twisted still seeing him in Florida gear. It doesn't look right and I don't care for it because Jon Sumrall can coach his ass off. He also knows how to manhandle Coach Gruden 

At the same time, is it shocking that Florida is favored? It pains me to say they are good. They are playing at home. You get the let down spot for Ole Miss after the Lane game plus Lacy being hurt. It feels like the perfect spot for Florida to win this game. And that's exactly why Jon Sumrall doesn't want to hear it. It's the old rat poison that Nick Saban would scream about. 

I do like that people aren't hiding from this either. It was always a hushed thing when coaches would talk about being favored or not. Now we all know. It's pretty cut and dry who is favored and we don't need to pretend the number because of AP voters matter. Great line by Sumrall though. Even hit them with the 'they don't watch tape' because of how good Trinidad Chambliss has been. Dude is such a good coach, don't love that it's at Florida.
