Semantics, easy ed. Chest pain can and often does occur as part of the symptom complex of panic disorders. helpguide.org/mental/panic_disorder_anxiety_attack_symptom_treatment.htmThat is not to say that chest pain should be ignored or that a cardiac cause should not be ruled out. Nor is it to say that the subject in question, Mr. Meyer, has not been experiencing chest pain. Importantly, the reports indicate Mr. Meyer has had several intensive workups to rule out a cardiac cause of his symptoms as would be appropriate. www.orlandosentinel.com/news/local/breakingnews/os-urban-meyer-health-problems-20091228,0,2613388.story My comment above was not meant to insinuate that it was impossible that Mr. Meyer might have an organic/structural cardiac problem as you seem to have taken it. Rather, it was in response to public statements by Mr. Meyer himself that he'd had a cardiac workup and it had been negative. In that context, chest pain as a part of a panic attack is a valid diagnostic possibility. It is also a treatable condition, but the methods differ as you well know. Shoot. This just isn't going to turn into the medical equivalent of "Superman-Serial Killer", is it? DSM-IV doesn't stack up with the vagaries of intergalactic law.

So I guess coaching tonight wasn't a "risk" to the "awful condition" Urban has?

Apparently blowout wins are fine. Scripture face went out in style in the "It Doesn't

Oh, I'm just dying to get home so I can see what kind of insigtful footage you have given us ...
By the way, some are suggesting that this year's Florida recruiting class might be the best class ever put together by any school -- at least on paper. Obviously, we will have to wait and see if that comes close to fruition.
Lastly, I still don't see any reason to think that Meyer is being anything less than genuine and honest. I don't see any reason to think he's being disingenuous.

It isn't footage. It is a story that would be otherwise totally unbelievable, except that it relates to the phoniest of phonies, Urban Meyer.
I wouldn't buy a stereo from that guy, let alone put him in charge of my kid.

Really, you don't think these type of theatrics go on all the time by college coaches all around the country?

This is sad. Urban Meyer channeling Oral Roberts.
I was pretty naive when I was 17/18, but I think even I could have seen through a total load of malarkey like this.

I finally just read the article. I'm not sure I buy that. It was first posted on an Ohio St. web forum and then started making the rounds on similar gossip sites. If I had to guess, there is probably some truth to it, insofar as to say that there was a phone call. Floyd probably admitted to being confused or torn between the programs. Meyer did probably tell Floyd to do what's best for him and probably added that in his opinion, he and the Florida program would be best. He might have brouhgt up the "family" angle, but that has pretty much been proven to be true. Under Meyer, the players are constantly talking about how they aren't just teammates, but are family. I'm sure most programs have a degree of that, but Meyer has made it a focul point even to the point of almost adopting the kids who really need it.
In any case, somehow, I have a hard time believing that the conversation went like this:
"Hi coach, it's Shariff."
"Hello Mr. Floyd. How are you today?
"Well coach, I'm a little confused right now. I like Florida and you and the other coaches, but I also feel at home in Columbus, around Tressel and his staff."
"Well, we're a family here. In fact I had a dream last night and I was coaching on the sidelines. I looked over and there you were. That's a sign from God that he wants you to be a Gator."
"Well, that sounds good coach, but if God wanted ME to be a Gator, why didn't I have the dream?"
"That's easy. I am the coach here at Florida where you are going to be playing. And let me reassure you that if need be, I will die for you."
Somehow, doesn't that seem a bit far fetched?
I think we all know the answer to that question.

If Urban Legend weren't such a scumbag, no one would believe it. But he is, so we do. The only possible explanation is that God appeared to him on Tebow's eyeblack.
Next case please stereo salesman.

I'm not sure why you call him a scumbag. Personally I reserve such terms for the likes of Calipari or Jackie Sherill for example. Meyer is passionate -- to a fault perhaps. Also, while I would disagree, you could at least support claims of his being a "drama queen." But scumbag ... not even close.
Now, what kind of stereo are you looking for -- home, car or DJ?

Four pages of discussion of Urban Meyer?
Really, Hoyatalk? Really?
(Even if 75% of the posts are "We hate Florida and we hate Urban Meyer.")

I did some Hoya Prospectus style analysis* (I was in college, so, you know, I'm qualified to do percentages) and it's almost all hifi. * Did not actually analyze the thread. But, honestly, it's all Hifi
