No one needs to remind Will Muschamp of Ron Zook's finest hour as UF coach, 10 years ago last week in Tallahassee.

Especially now.

Fired a month earlier, Zook exited Bobby Bowden Field — christened Kobe 8 Shoes for sale earlier that November night — on his players' shoulders after the Gators shocked FSU 20-13 in 2004.

"I kind of heard that story," Muschamp deadpanned Monday. "Appreciate you rehashing it for me.

"It is what it is. I mean that ain't gonna help us win the game, I can assure you of that."

The wound left by Muschamp's Nov. 16 firing understandably remains fresh, though he has made the best of a tough situation.

The Gators rolled to a 52-3 win Saturday Basketball Shoes for Sale against Eastern Kentucky to become bowl eligible.

Now, in a move he never anticipated when he arrived four seasons ago, Coach Boom will try to channel the Zooker and end his stint with the Gators in stunning fashion against the unbeaten Seminoles.

Bowden's 2004 squad was ranked No. 10 and had two losses when Zook's Gators won in Tallahassee for the first time since 1986.

Coach Jimbo Fisher's reigning national champions have appeared vulnerable pretty much all season, but always seem to find a way to win.

In fact, the Seminoles' last loss — 27 games ago — was to Muschamp's Gators, 37-26 during the 2012 regular-season finale. Eighteen Gators who played last Saturday, including 11 starters, punter Kyle Christy and special teams ace Mike McNeely, saw action two seasons ago at FSU.

"We still got a lot of guys on the team that went up there," Muschamp said. "It was a great game, they had an outstanding football team, and we played well."

The Gators are 10-13 since the 2012 win, but have won three of four games and are only 7.5-point underdogs on the road to an FSU squad that has staved off upsets in four of its past five games.

"Love my chances, love our chances," UF sophomore defensive end Alex McCalister said after a two-sack performance against Eastern Kentucky. "We've got the whole team clicking."


The Gators have struggled to put it together in their biggest games — save a Nov. 1 rout of Georgia. But UF's defense should test FSU and quarterback Jameis Winston, the reigning Heisman winner.

FSU has beaten four teams — Clemson, Louisville, Miami and BC - ranked in the top 17 in total defense by an average of six points. The Gators' defense is ranked No. 11 and has found its footing after yielding 1,122 yards during UF's first two SEC games (Kentucky, Alabama).

"He's going to see a pretty good defense Saturday," UF defensive end Jon Bullard said.

The Seminoles (11-0) also will see a team playing with a lot of emotion.

There Kevin Durant V Shoes are players' coaches, and then there is Muschamp. The Gators have not hidden their fondness for UF's outgoing coach.

Bullard wrote "Mus" and "Champ" on his eye-black strips Saturday, explaining afterward how Muschamp was there for him when Bullard's grandmother died last season.

"I really appreciate it," Muschamp said of his players' public support. "You spend a lot of time with these young men and that's part of your job when you want to be a football coach. It's not just about Saturday afternoon. It's about Monday through Friday. It's about doing a lot of things that people have no idea that your job entitles.

"That's something that, you know, you enjoy being a mentor, slash father figure, slash friend, slash coach. You wear a lot of hats in our job and that's part of it."

A Zook-line send-off would a fitting ending. But Muschamp said he is not getting caught up in the moment, or the notion of a Hollywood ending.

"It doesn't really change for me. It's preparation," he said. "You turn on the tape and you don't get real emotional. I can tell you that."

The China Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Chinese and global real estate markets, including China house prices, global house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a global house price crash or China house price crash. Is there a Chinese housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is it better to buy using a home loan, or rent and save the difference? How might a credit crunch or peak debt environment impact Chinese property prices? Is the Chinese property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices rise forever as people bet on future gains, refinance their mortgage and borrow against equity, or can we find a more sustainable long term approach to managing the Chinese housing market? These are the type of questions we hope to address here, at the China Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators! Whether you're a Property Investor, First Home Buyer (FHB) or you're a happily renting tenant, this forum has something for everyone.
