Chomping At Bits: Caleb Sturgis' Great Year For Florida Continues

by Andy Hutchins on Nov 7, 2011 9:01 AM EST in Chomping At Bits

Chomping At Bits runs twice daily during the week and once daily on weekends, and comes stocked with the best Florida Gators links and news we can find. Got a link we should check out? Email us at AlligatorArmy@gmail.com, subject line CAB.

Caleb Sturgis' big year: Yes, Sturgis is far and away Florida's best candidate for All-American honors in 2011. (Scott Carter, GatorZone)

Why Missouri's joining the SEC: Staples uses the best metaphor I've seen so far. (Andy Staples, Sports Illustrated)

Brad Beal, the best freshman shooter in America: He's also ranked 12th overall. (Jeff Goodman, CBS Sports)

Recruiting roundtable: I think you'll enjoy this for all of the content, but I'm linking it mostly for that final discussion of great high school stadia. I want to go to the one in Wake Forest. (Rivals)

After the jump, more links from around SB Nation.

BCS rankings, and their ramifications: Florida: Not ranked. You're stunned, surely. (Kevin McCauley, SB Nation | Samuel Chi, SB Nation)

Missouri's backstory: I've said this on Twitter, but I'm really happy that Bill Connelly's joining our crew of SEC bloggers. He's built as good a community with Rock M Nation as any SB Nation has. (Bill Connelly, Rock M Nation)

Who should Georgia fans root for? The Dawg-devoted have a quandary on Saturday: Do they root for hated Florida to all but seal their SEC East title, or for South Carolina to extend our misery? (T. Kyle King, Dawg Sports)

Beach volleyball so hard: Finally, the NCAA has approved women's beach volleyball for the 2012 season. I realize that UF isn't going to jump to add a team, but it certainly could, and very cheaply; the six scholarships wouldn't do much to offset a men's sport for Title IX purposes, though. My question to you is this: Would you go to women's beach volleyball matches featuring a good Gators team, or would it feel to weird and ogle-ready for you? (Herman, Sippin' On Purple)

As always: Talk about any and all of this and/or anything else you have to say in the comments. Need more Alligator Army in your life?

Caleb Sturgis is our best player?

God, sounds like we are FSU from 2004 – 2009.

Of course he is.

Which is better than last year, when Chaz Henry was our best.

Agree

Sad that Chas was our best player last year.

Difference is the Gators have Sturgis this year

Henry was the best punter in UF history, but he wasn’t great at FG kicking. Now, when the offense inevitably stalls across the 50, Florida is still able to score 3 points.
