Good News For The Gator Nation (for a change)

OK my loyal and faithful readers who are also part of The Gator Nation, let’s get started by sharing some good news regarding the future of the Gator football program and by this I mean the results from National Signing Day. Yep ... the results are now in and they have been analyzed ... and ...


The Gators are ranked number 3 ... yes ... NUMBER 3 ... in the nation, behind Alabama and Texas. CHOMP! CHOMP!


The top recruiting classes for 2012 are:


1. Alabama

2. Texas

3. Florida

4. Ohio State

5. Stanford

6. Michigan

7. USC

8. Florida State

9. Miami

10. Oklahoma


Alabama, Florida, Stanford, Florida State and USC each signed three five-star players.


Not bad for Coach Muskrat in his first year of recruiting, not bad at all.


GO GATORS!!


Now, moving on to Billi Pod’s report card on last night’s ...

NAKED OLD MAN, the one-man show about an eighty-two-year-old man who invites three of his closest friends, all recently deceased, to spend the evening with him==>B-.


Billi Pod really wanted to like this show a lot more but ... the “I’m old but I’m not afraid to die - oh ... wait ... yes, I really am f**king afraid” story line got a bit tiresome even at only an hour. David Margulies was just adequate and that was a bit of a surprise, too. There was no nudity, thank God.


Today's entertainment event is a rare Thursday matinee ...


2:00==>HONESTLY ABE - “This new musical shines a light on the early and little known life of President Abraham Lincoln. Set in Indiana in the early 1820s, and based on historical fact, the show uncovers young Abe as a lanky, prankster boy who loves to read and who can tell quite a story. Abe dreams of quitting the family farm and becoming a riverboat captain. Will his dreams come true?” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket).


This is playing at The Actor’s Temple Theater on West 47th Street and I think that it is a showcase production with a young cast. Looking forward to it.


Oh ... it has gotten colder again, in the low 40s so I guess Winter isn’t over.


Tonight my friend Justin Allen Pifer (a Penn State grad, no doubt in need of closure) will come over to PHC when he gets off work and we will have some catching up face time and then grab a bite at a restaurant in da ‘hood.


Time to head out to my matinee ... so ...


GO YANKEES AND GO BIG BLUE!!
