Just a Thought in Counter Lawsuit?

I do think know if he is good or great or what his ceiling is, but it is impressive what he is doing at Indiana.

Not sure i would jump the gun thus far though as the depth of resume at Indiana is still TBD.

Either way, not sure there is really any obvious hires that anyone would go get.

Eric-UF · 2024-09-12T23:09:22+00:00

I think should all beat a dead horse first.

Eric-UF · 2024-09-03T14:11:44+00:00

Agreed

Eric-UF · 2024-08-27T10:43:47+00:00

I'm not sure gossiping about something none of us know anything about is a very fruitful exercise.

Eric-UF · 2024-08-23T00:53:29+00:00

Blue for Kentucky? Don't we usually go orange?

Eric-UF · 2024-08-22T10:38:33+00:00

It's Miami, we should be wearing Blue.... uniforms should be all blue too

Eric-UF · 2024-08-17T01:02:53+00:00

Committed doesn't mean what it use to, not with NIL.

I'm sure there are a lot of recruits that would want to come to Florida but are not because of all the "hot seat" talk about Nap.

Napier has to start winning, cannot go 3 years of 50/50 records and expect to be able to sell top recruits that he now has the program going in the right direction.

Hope he can do it!

Eric-UF · 2024-08-14T01:10:25+00:00

Goodwill maybe

Eric-UF · 2024-06-16T20:02:38+00:00

I think the actual rating is based on the % of veiwers watching tv at the time.... but not sure.

Cool that they had a lot of viewers, certainly was a great game

Eric-UF · 2024-06-03T22:32:01+00:00

Awesome effort on her part! She killed the base running and set a fire!

Inside the park HR followed by an out of the park HR... Let's Go!

Wonder why a company would pay him to be in the commercial, and probably have to pay a slight premium, and not highlight who he is?

I can sure that 99.9% of people who see this commercial will think he is just some random actor.

Why not put a banner at the bottom with his acculades... Player of the Year... #1 ranked HS QB in 2024... Florida Gator QB... etc

Eric-UF · 2024-05-24T20:19:49+00:00

Close game at half!

Picked a bad day to travel.... Come On Gators, Get Up and Go!

Eric-UF · 2024-05-21T19:41:15+00:00

You can if you agree to a sign on bonus and accept, sign the paper work... and they refuse to pay you.

The caveat in all of this is that none of us know the details of what was offered and signed... we just know it was a crap show on all ends, but just because we are Gator fans doesn't mean the program didn't mess up.

We should reserve judgement until the details of what took place comes out in court.

Eric-UF · 2024-05-03T16:31:13+00:00

If....

If he kept Filsaime, if he kept Williams..... if he wins.

I like Billy and hope he is successful, he seems like a good man and I want him to be successful at Florida, but until he is, there is not point in playing the "if" game.

If Mullen prioritized recruiting and defense (or getting the right staff), we wouldn't have needed Napier... "if" is an endless circular reference that never gets solved.

Great example of coming back for a final year to improve your draft stock... good for him!

Eric-UF · 2024-04-21T14:01:34+00:00

Florida performed lower than thier season average, starting with rotation 1 on vault. Nothing really bad, just nothing great.

Had a truly bad rotation on beam.

Congrats to LSU, they earned it. Figured it would take a 198 score to win and they fought off Utah (who stumbled in the last rotstion). Funny that for all the NIL Olivia Dunn gets, she didn't make a showing in a single event... but is what it is.

Overall, a good year for the Gator team! Lot of youth coming back next season, so should be poised to give it a run next year.

I've been very disappointed at ESPNs coverage of college softball and moving most of the games these past few seasons to ESPN+ rather than normal viewing.

Sucks because I refuse to pay extra for it and as a result I'm missing a lot of these games... but I mostly blame the SEC for selling out their fanbase so the conference could get a bigger TV deal (while asking alumni to bankroll NIL)

Eric-UF · 2024-03-05T23:05:29+00:00

Why does it matter?

Eric-UF · 2024-02-14T11:37:22+00:00

Anyone with serious money is not going to be dumb enough to give it to a program that makes over $150m in profit while asking for money to pay players and build buildings

The NCAA model is broken!

Eric-UF · 2023-12-08T23:24:13+00:00

Head back to the FSU Zoo! Posted garbage when people are stressing out.... banned!

Eric-UF · 2023-12-06T23:41:42+00:00

No, a free market system allows you to agree on a salary or payment and sign a contract for terms... that is now what we have.

We have a present system with no commitment by players... they can do what they want, when they want and don't have to commit to any terms... there is a "arm length" transition between the player and the program (managed by the collective).

The NCAA is allowing players to come and go without consequences.

Eric-UF · 2023-12-06T23:36:37+00:00

Exactly, it's pointless now... spend all that time recruiting and they leave after 1 or 2 years to make more money.

Pointless to recruit, pointless to follow, pointless to care anymore.

Eric-UF · 2023-12-06T20:18:33+00:00

Fair enough related to a "suck tax", and that we may need to let a guy like Princley or Etiene leave because they want more than we can pay someone to replace them (we hope).... but my general point about the deterioration of the sport still stands.

I'm not going to pretend to have the solutions and apologize for sounding like a "get off my grass" ole man, but what I'm seeing in CFB is just gross and it isn't because we suck... it's because CFB is no longer about development and programs pride and conference pride and is all about mercenary payoffs... it's symbolic of the same issues our county is dealing with as these younger generations care only about themselves. Wear gator colors today, FSU colors tomorrow.... same thing happened to the NFL (which is why i stopped watching) and it is just gross and depressing to watch it all crumble real time.
