I would like to announce to everybody that the 2011 Florida Gator football media guide has been released by the University of Florida. I like the guide this year. It offers a ton of news and information for everybody. According to Rachel George from the Sentinel, UF does not send them out to season ticket holders anymore so you may find them online.

Here are some things you will find in the guide.

• Despite ending last season with a 8-5 record, the Gators still lead the Country in wins since 1990 with 208.
• With former Gator Mike Pouncey being drafted in the first round this year, it extends the Gators streak with a first-round draft pick to five years which is the longest streak in the whole country.
• This was a surprising fact…. Last season was the first time since 1989 that the Gators did not finish in the top AP or USA today 25 poll, which is really stunning.
• There were two games last season that landed the Gators in the top five for attendance. Back in October when they faced LSU there were 90,721 who attended. Then during the South Carolina game in November, there were 90,885 that were in attendance.

Another eye catcher are number changes. Every year players are changing there numbers….

Here are the numbers for the freshman this year.

CB Marcus Roberson – 5; CB Louchiez Purifoy – 15; QB Jeff Driskel – 16; QB Jacoby Brissett – 17; CB Valdez Showers – 20; S Jabari Gorman – 21; CB De’Ante “Pop” Saunders – 26; RB Hunter Joyer – 41; S Chris Johnson – 33; K Kyle Christy – 44; LB Graham Stewart – 55; OG Trip Thurman – 63; OG Tommy Jordan – 65; WR Ja’Juan Story – 80; TE A.C.
