Now They're Putting Out the Fire

That fireurbanmeyer.com site is not what the name suggests. It's actually dedicated to uniting Florida fans behind coach Urban Meyer. Andy Judah, a 1999 Florida graduate, purchased the URL in October 2004 as a pre-emptive strike against those who would use the URL to campaign for Meyer's dismissal. Judah sat on the sideline while fireronzook.com rocketed to fame and became a breeding ground for the eventual dismissal of Ron Zook, Meyer's predecessor. And Judah is not alone in such an endeavor. Fans are gobbling up URLs and creating sites not to rant about their coach, but to praise him.
