It’s almost laughable, but Urban often tries to spin his program as ‘doing the right thing’.  Well, the measure of doing the right thing is, often, DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Example:Â Michael Floyd’s dedication to getting an education, Dayne Crist’s SERIOUS volunteering work.
Anti-example:Â The UF Gators Program
Case in Point:Â Jamar Hornsby.
EDSBS has the story at the link, written well and funnier than anything I can write, so I won’t repeat it all here. I’ll just give the summary and draw the (admittedly self-serving bc I hate Urban Meyer) conclusion.
Jamar’s teammate and his girlfriend die too young in a terrible motorcycle accident. The day after their death, Jamar helps clean out his deceased teammate’s apartment. (nice guy, right?) In the process, Jamar ganks his teammate’s girlfriend’s credit card. Jamar goes on a 6-month-long shopping spree using the girl’s card. (not nice guy, right?)
Repeat – He stole a credit card from a dead girl the day after she died. A dead girl that was his teammate’s girlfriend.
 Our friend Jamar has had issues in the past as well, per ESPN.com:
Hornsby, who has played the last two seasons mostly on special teams, has had two prior off-field problems during his Florida career. He was cited in April 2007 on misdemeanor criminal mischief charges when he caused $750 damage to a car by throwing a man onto the vehicle’s hood during a fight. He also was suspended from playing in last year’s game against Georgia for selling his tickets to the game, a violation of NCAA rules.
Hey everybody, this is what Charlie meant when he said hoodlums and thugs. Get over it, because it’s real.
Quality Student-Athletes.  Quality People.  That’s University of Florida Football for you.
Looks like Tim Tebow is going to be visiting his teammate in the pen sometime soon. At least he has the practice. Maybe he can save the whole team, the whole program, while he’s at it. Â
HT: DTK in the shiz-out biz-ox. For this, I promise not to bash Michigan (sucks!) for a week.

Saturday morning, May 10, CNN HEADLINE NEWS: Prosecutor says the credit card was used to buy $30,000.00 of gas.
Henry - a true gator
Let’s see,
You coach is a poster child for the Anti-subway commercial. He can’t keep recruits because he is full of BS (literally). UF is at the top of the list for PUBLIC colleges for best colleges in the country(not rich kids who have no life but to generate BLOGS). Have you heard of Tim Tebow (maybe not, BTW he has won a bowl game)? Get over Florida! Instead of trashing Urban, you might want to learn from him; because your program SUCKS!
Love,
An elated UF Baptist (Republican)Gator!

Henry,
I’d just like to thank you for playing to the stereotype. So glad you felt the need to mention that you’re Baptist AND Republican. Any other memberships of organizations you’d like us to know about?
Anyway, when we inevitably rip apart the UF fanbase for something in the future, we’ll be sure to use you as reference material.

Henry’s arguments here have nothing to do with the post. Doesn’t try to refute the FACTS that Urban runs a dirty program and has no control over his kids. Instead, his argument boils down to:
Charlie’s fat. He’s fat, and therefore some kids transferred. UF is good because it’s public and cheaper (edit: implicit is that it’s NOT better academically). HLS writers have no life because they write. Baptists and Republicans are good.
Way to go Henry, way to go. I think our boy in the story above should hire you as his lawyer. You could use the Chewbacca defense – see following post.
