My post wasn't meant to be an anti t-rex comment per se.. The point was, many people came here from their previous forum because they were so restrictive.. Including you! the same people tend to be very sensitive to any one who has a different point of view..Including you!! There is a possibility that the reason you are subject to abuse for being "right" is that you tend to be pretty abusive in your own right, though not nearly so as our illustrious donkey.. As I've been told a few times opinions are like ***holes. Everyone has one and they usually stink..

Interesting. So I am hearing you clearly...your perception of me is that I am abusive to other posters? The mindless zombie from SG aside...you think I attack posters first? Meaning, not in my own defense but I am actually the aggressor? I'm curious because I do try not to get personal with other posters. I also try not to attack individual players. Coaches are fair game. Not saying I don't screw up on occasion but I do try to abide by those basic standards.

"Someone get jhbyrd over here. That dude needs to be throatpunched. Mac was a GOD and now Mullen is a GOD. His propaganda is Nazi worthy. I'd love some board time with that idiot."

I see you self describe yourself as a negative poster. However you actually make positive posts and you follow the talent which I agree is very important as is the ability to develop the talent. You said you like to complain about UF coaches. If your posts are fair then you should not be banned.

You were just name calling me which they do not like as they want civil discourse. Did you get in trouble for name calling?

I never say trust the coaches line, I say give them a fair chance to get in recruits and put in their system then scrutinize them. I don't say criticize them from day one. Do you? If you are really as smart as you say you are then you understand that talent does matter. If Saban was coaching a high school team and played Mac coaching a Bama team then Saban is going down.

If you were complaining about Mac losing to FSU and Bama in year one (when UF had no QB or OL at season's end) then you were not being intelligent you were being unreasonable. The SEC coaches were not unreasonable and voted Mac SEC coach of the year.

Mac throwing the administration under the bus in public on facilities was his undoing. Stricklin is a facilities guy so there was no reason to throw him under the bus. Mac forgets that Bama is good in recruiting because of facilities and hard work. Mac did not work hard at recruiting. Plus we now learn he did not work hard on physically developing the talent unlike what Mullen is now doing.

If you were complaining about Mac's recruiting then you were being reasonable as he was being outworked by Meyer, Jimbo etc. In retrospect we now learn that Mac was a pain in the ass to the AD. Mac was using facilities as an excuse for his not working hard on recruiting. If he would have put more time into actual recruiting and developing players physically than blaming the administration on facilities Mac may still be here right now.

I don't think marathon runner Mullen will be outworked in recruiting by Meyer like Mac was. When Mac and Mullen used to go running in Gainesville together Mullen never wanted to lose.

I hope you are not complaining about Mullen's recruiting already as he brought in our best coach transition recruiting class in decades. He is working hard unlike Mac. I hope you are fair with him as he is working hard to get the program back on track.

I was not aware they ban you for making negative comments on coaches. I see them all the time and my negative coach comments never met resistance. They however do not like name calling there.

My challenge is I don't like FSU. If someone comes on saying how great FSU is on a Gator board I will take them on.

I know you like to complain about UF coaches but give Mullen a fair chance to get things back on track.
Entirely reasonable post.

Until they were fired? Trex loves to exaggerate.
Trex just showed the thread where I started scrutinizing Nuss the first game of last season where I started calling Nuss out way before he was fired at the end of the season.

The part about not being allowed to say anything negative about the staff is untrue as negative stuff was said on the staff especially Nord which I partook in during season two due to his poor recruiting. There could have been bannings based on coach comments but the most common was on name calling.

Regarding recruits being turned off by over negative posting ,I don't know if recruits read this board here but in the past Zo (who works with the top recruits and high school all star games) knows personally we have lost top recruits based on super negative posting. Zo knows. One of Zo's trainees was Van Jefferson.
Everything I’ve seen says that it’s fans actions on social media platforms like twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. It’s a double edged sword - recruits love the interaction and attention but it attracts some of the worst representatives of any fan base.

You are definitely correct on that today about the more popular platforms you listed being more of an affect on recruiting than this type board. My info was based on the past.

That has been my perception since I first began reading this board.. And therefore my opinion. I am not one to engage in pissin' contests, so usually don't. But like I said, that has been my perception, and therefore my opinion. And as I also said, opinions are like ***holes..........

Zo loves us and Van Jefferson is now trying to transfer here. I don't know if Van Jefferson was one of the recruits turned off by over negative posting. He looked at Ole Miss and UF back then.

I know a 3 Star QB (Jacob Guy maybe?) supposedly posted on Alligator Army while I was there. Some poster was saying how much he sucked and supposedly he responded. The guy running the website said he verified it was actually him. If that was true, maybe a handful surf some of these boards. That said, I’ve seen the same stuff on any fanbases boards I’ve ever visited. Nothing unique or troublesome. Social media is where some of the Gator lunatics shine brightest...

They dont even need to come here. Just takes one friend or acquaintance to tell them about it and link it to them.

That’s true but I don’t think that happens a) as often as people think or b) is unique to Florida boards. I see that line (“don’t say that! croots are watching!”) used to shut down conversation more often than giving a crap about the kid.

If I found out this board was directly effecting the recruiting of a national powerhouse program like Florida I'd be flattered as hell.

Yeah Florida is the only fanbase in the country who hates losing and thinks the 2nd string Qb should be starting.

Dammit man. Zo is a good poster but he puts out BS too (he argued with me when I said Kelvin Taylor was better than Adam Lane). No recruit rejected Florida because of a message board. Van Jefferson didn't come to Florida because a lot of his friends were going to Ole Miss and that dumbass Mac didn't have a WR coach hired when he visited. In fact if I remember he didn't hire one till after signing day and it was Kerry Dixon of all people. The f--k was the hold up to land the Kerry Dixon's of the world?

Tilly banned me for saying Mac should be fired in a game thread. Haven't even tried to go back. I'm a realistic gator fan that is always trying to be positive. Which has been extremely difficult the last ten years. I dislike the fans that blindly followed Mac still after it was really clear he sucked.

I have seen Zo's scoop come true over and over.
Zo forgot more than the so called experts know about what is going on with the high school recruits. No one is 100% on talent evaluation NFL or college. Zo nailed how good Toney would be when the recruiting services had him rated too low.

Missing on one player rating has nothing to do with knowing what recruits tell you regarding their recruitment.

I can see why you were upset if that was the only thing. Were you banned during season two or three of Mac? If you were name calling people at the same time that is where they usually get people.
