My Inner Author

As 2009 draws to a close and 2010 prepares for its grand opening, there are so many issues which could draw debate, discussion and attention. But 01/01/10 will be the biggest day for college football in the state of Florida perhaps in history, as two of the most revered, loved and respected careers will come to end; and one successful career will hit the pause button.
