  2. For not being a Gator fan you sure did your homework. Pretty solid list. Not saying I agree with the order but solid. Good job.

    Pretty Good Job... For Noles Fan!
    Rex Grossman has to replace Kerwin Bell in Top 25. have no problem with Kerwin being #26 on that list.
    How can you Honorable Mention Jevon Kearse, Trace Armstrong and Chris Collingsworth...and Include three guys that I can't even tell you "when" they played, or "what position" the played like Rick Casares? Kevin Carter? Jason Odom? (And I'm a life long Gator Fan!!)

  7. Dude that sent you email must not be very old if he doesn't know Kevin Carter or Jason Odom.... Leak is not a top 5 guy, especially not in front of Youngblood and Marshall. Replace Lilly with Reggie Nelson.

  8. Leak does belong in top five. Did lead the Gators to a Nat. Champ. as quarterback. Is deserving. I like the top five. But I know it has to be hard to narrow it down to top 25 with so many Gators greats out there.

    Tell the "Dude" that "this Dude" that must not be very old, has been a Gator fan since Spurrier was throwing passes to Charlie Casey in 1963. Odom and Carter just didn't ring any bells, so they wouldn't have been on my list over Collinsworth, Kearse or Amstrong.
