John Reaves is a physical wreck and financial mess, but life is better than it's been in nearly a decade.
Reaves, one of the greatest quarterbacks in University of Florida history, will be in town to see the top-ranked Gators (2-0) in their hotly anticipated grudge match against rival Volunteers (1-1).
He'll be sitting in the UT section.

Don't mess it up. Be thankful for your families love and forgiveness and don't abuse their faith and trust in you. God Bless you on all your One Day Journeys. I have had several people on both sides of my family that have walked in your shoes. Some have made it, some have not. For your families sake I pray you do.

First trip to the Swamp, I saw Reaves to Alvarez combo. They were awesome. Man had an arm. Was last trip to the Swamp now that I cogitate on it. If I never go again, it will be too soon.

It's nice to see Gators and Vols can agree on something, We both hope all goes well for him.

can't keep his stuff together ????
this is how you see addiction ? your perspective is typical of people who are ignorant of this condition. staying sober is about a lot more than "keeping our stuff together."

Son is a coach at UT. Former Fla QB. Quite understandable.

The fact that he has divided loyalties between Tennessee and Florida doesn't matter. The fact that he is allowed to see his grandchildren because he's clean and sober is what matters. Take it one day at a time and good luck.

Did snyone look at the bottom of the story's webpage? "Check out Orlando's new clubs and bars...." or something like that. Classic FAIL!
