someclown Posted July 30 Report Share Posted July 30 Crocodile, not alligator, featured on cover of guide--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Associated PressGAINESVILLE, Fla. -- What a croc!A large crocodile -- and not the school's namesake alligator mascot -- is featured on the cover of the University of Florida's 2003 football media guide. “ We asked for an alligator, we paid for an alligator and unfortunately we did not get an alligator. ” — Florida spokesman Steve McClain A photo of Florida coach Ron Zook leading the team onto the field is superimposed over the olive green crocodile. The words "Florida'' and "2003 Football Guide'' also appear on the front, but the word "Gators'' is absent.Florida spokesman Steve McClain said he regrets the error."We asked for an alligator, we paid for an alligator and unfortunately we did not get an alligator,'' McClain told The Associated Press late Tuesday in a telephone interview. "It's unfortunate, it's somewhat embarrassing obviously, but the bottom line is we thought we were getting an alligator.''The school was looking for a certain "design element'' for the cover, McClain said, but none of the school's stock photography matched what the media relations staff needed.The school sought outside help for a picture, employing a number of production companies to help with the search. After a picture was found, the error was unfortunately not caught before production, McClain said.American crocodiles have pointy snouts and are found mostly in mangroves where fresh and saltwater mix. They are a light, olive-green color.Alligators have broad snouts, live mainly in freshwater surroundings and are nearly black. They are found throughout Florida and vastly outnumber the state's stock of crocs.Alligators are also recognizable because the upper jaw overlaps the lower jaw, making all the teeth of the lower jaw hidden from view and fitted into depressions in the upper jaw. With crocodiles, the teeth interlock more evenly. :laugh: A very bad start to the football season for U of F fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicman Posted July 31 Report Share Posted July 31 is there anyplace out there where you can see all the NFL rosters broken down by college they attended. of course all the QB's, RB, WR and flashy positions go in the first round, but last time i checked, a football team has 22 different positions.how many receptions would micheal irvin have had if tro aikman wasnt there throwing him the ball, and how many completions would aikman have had if jo schmoe from north dakota state didnt block for him. kinda tuff to throw passes if your face is in the dirt all the time.
