Oh please. Tua is better than Hurts in every way and Saban still brought him along slowly before making him the starter.


That's a double scoop of stupid right there. Comparing Franks to Tua.... :headslap:

And youre saying weeks of fans taunting and booing him that he isnt allowed to respond?
He's allowed to do anything he pleases, this isn't Russia. That doesn't mean he should. Attacking your own fans is a no-win proposition.

If putting a finger to your lips is attacking somebody then it is the least offensive thing we've seen (except for the offense the last 10 yrs)

You of all people lecturing people on being offended about something is hysterical. You get offended when you're doing long division and you have a remainder left over.

SPORTS PEOPLE: COLLEGE FOOTBALL; Spurrier Blasts Fans For Booing the Gators

STEVE SPURRIER blasted Florida fans yesterday for booing the team in its season-opening victory and suggested he may have worn out his welcome as Gators coach.

In a stunning start to his weekly news media luncheon in Gainesville, Fla., Spurrier related how he had spoken before the previous day's practice with the freshman punter, ROBBY STEVENSON, a prime target of jeers after he averaged only 21.5 yards on two kicks.

"I put my arm around him and said, 'Robby, one good thing about this game this week is nobody will boo you because we'll be on the road," said Spurrier, whose fifth-ranked team plays at Kentucky on Saturday night. "I didn't think I would ever be in a position to say those sort of things coaching the Gators."

As far as I'm concerned, this closes the book on whether Gator fans should be booing players.

Your trophies and awards plus a 1$ might get you a cup of coffee at Circle K.


BTW: Congrats on your achievements. Will be great to share with your kids and grand-kids.
My kids look at my pot bellie and can't believe that I used to Dunk with two hands. Glad I kept the newpaper articles.

What do you expect when he tells his own fans "**** you " if he had played with this effort and heart all year he wouldn't have been criticized or booed but this is the first game he has done so .
Yes, and finally having learned that that only gets you booed, may never do so again.

Isn’t it possible some aren’t offended by FF and even personally understand it but also realize it reflects (or highlights) his already known weaknesses: judgment and lack of quick thinking.

Separately, I really dislike the booing of college players, but let’s all stop with the SOS made this happen, we’re spoiled etc.

Just take a look:

LSU - LSU fans booing Tigers quarterback Jordan Jefferson has angered Coach Les Miles

Domers- Notre Dame Booed By Fans Against USF Video

Nebraska (often referred to as the nicest or classiest fans in CFB) - Despite boos, Frost remains No. 1

Alabama -



Need to post more examples or is the point made? We can individually choose to boo or not (I choose not against players, coaches I feel are different and it is distinguishable most times). But, it’s part of the deal everywhere when playing in front of 90 .. errr .. 58,000 people and wanting the joy and glory that comes with it.

FF’s inability to deal with it doesn’t upset me. My issue, if I really have any, is that it’s not even a surprise from him.
