Possibility of signing a kicker(!) excites Gator fans

Do you remember the scene in 1983’s “National Lampoon’s Vacation” when, describing the “Family Truckster,” car salesman Eugene Levy tells car buyer Chevy Chase, “You think you hate it now, wait ’til you drive it”? The scene is hysterical because, with Levy’s delivery, the thought could be taken with positivity or negativity.

I was reminded of that scene when I heard the news that touted junior college kicker Eddy Pineiro had decommitted from Alabama and apparently was leaning toward Florida. The Gators’ program is at the point where fans are excited that Florida might sign a kicker.

Sounds desperate upon first read, right?
