We’ve already seen one interesting sign in Florida’s locker room today. Here is another, filled with obviously fake 40-yard dash times:

Forget for a second the general abuse of the 40 as a relevant measure of "football speed," which is more about short bursts and quickness in tight spaces. Despite the glaring absence of the fastest player in the country, Jeffrey Demps, you’ll notice four players are listed here as sub-4.3, or faster than any player ran in the entire NFL combine. That includes the only warp-speed Gator to run in Indianapolis, Percy Harvin, whose official, electronically-timed 4.41 tied for the sixth-best effort at the combine but wouldn’t have even gotten him on the above board in Gainesville. According to this, Chris Rainey is only barely human, having apparently evolved certain characteristics of a rabbit (in, uh, more ways than one, perhaps).

It’s not that I’m not willing to bestow upon the Gators the title of "Fastest Team in America," though I think this is no more (and maybe slightly less) relevant than "Only Team With Tim Tebow at Quarterback." I do not, however, believe they are singlehandedly scorching the rest of the country — not to mention the pros — to this ridiculous extent*. Come on, guys.

* I do believe at least some of them are capable of becoming airborne over short distances, though, so the "Flying 20" times are probably solid.
