Palmer goes in as something of an unknown to Florida fans, a quarterback from a country where football is an orphan instead of a favorite son. I can't believe it here. Every car has a Gator sticker. Everybody has something with Gators on it. I love it because this is the way I've always taken football.
Southern football is unique.
Is not a hockey fan Jesse Palmer never liked hockey. Palmer dismissed his national sport for ours, in part because he was the son of a football player. Bill Palmer played at Bowling Green and went on to seven seasons in the Canadian Football League as a linebacker and punter. He has also been a coach for his son's team since Jesse was seven years old. We just believe you can teach the kids anything.
