Editorial There is no place for death threats in football oach Jim McElwain has been under fire since the be- ginning of this year’s football season. A 3-3 record for the Gators so far this year, including consecutive home game losses, hasn’t caused the public to look upon McElwain any more favorably. In fact, according Cto McElwain, he, his family and several Gator football players have been receiving death threats in response to the team’s poor performance lately. Last Wednesday, McElwain revealed to the public the news about the death threats. When asked about his reaction to the threats, he simply said that they are “part of the business.” Al- though McElwain appeared to just brush off the death threats as if they were nothing more than an expected inconvenience, we can’t help but be bothered and disturbed by them. We get it, football is important to a lot of people and it’s something just about any fan can get pretty passionate about. We fully expect yelling in the stadium and heckling from the opposing team at rival games. But death threats? That seems a little bit extreme — at least to us, anyway. At best, the Florida Gators are an average football team. We Column aren’t awful, and we aren’t the laughing stock of the SEC, but we also aren’t the greatest college football team to come out of the Southeast. And that’s OK.

FOOTBALL With history on their side, Gators have no fear of Georgia By Matt Brannon Sports Writer

Jeremiah Moon knows how important a win on Saturday is. “That would be big, (a) big season changer,” Moon, a red- shirt freshman linebacker, said Tuesday. “I know a lot of people are doubting us right now, so it’s up to us to prove everybody wrong.” And while the present favors the Bulldogs, Florida has history on its side. The Gators (3-3, 3-2 SEC) have won their last three showdowns in Jacksonville. But this matchup will likely be more diffi cult for Florida, which enters Saturday's game against Georgia as a two- touchdown underdog carrying consecutive home losses. None of that matters to receiv- er Josh Hammond, who on Mon- day said UF is feeling as confi dent as always. “Georgia isn’t a team that we lose to,” Hammond said. “That’s the message in the locker room right now: They might be the (No. 3) team in the country, but they can’t beat Florida.” In part, Hammond is right. Florida has won 21 of its last 27 Alligator File Photo matchups with the Bulldogs. The Last season, the Gators won their third consecutive game against the Bulldogs. This year, the Florida is just as confident despite last couple of games haven’t been entering the matchup as a two-touchdown underdog and not having players like receiver Antonio Callaway (81) to rely on. close, either.

Now, compare that to a Geor- gia team that would lead the SEC in points scored and fewest points allowed if they didn’t have to compete with the No. 1 Crimson Tide. And while Florida is using its three-game win streak as motiva- tion, Georgia coach Kirby Smart is using the same stat to rile up his team. Smart started the week by gathering the Bulldogs and tell- ing them to stand if they’ve ever beaten the Gators.
