Zook was head and shoulders better than Mac in everything except for the way he conducted himself off the field.

Zook and Mac with water sports.

Ox...dead serious question....how much would it cost to put a billboard identical to that as close to BHG as possible, either off Newberry or Archer Road?

I think the money to put that up for a month or two could be raised within hours on here.....I will put up the first $20.

I'll contribute to a "FIRE MAC NOW!" billboard.

I would guess thousands of dollars.

Which is why I qualified each comment with "we don't."

Well again that is UAL's DNA. That is not UF's DNA. We want a better product than what UAL runs. That is why I called it fools gold.

I don't want to copy UAL. I want to be UF.

I remember someone starting a website for "Fire Ron Zook Now" shortly after his arrival in Gainesville.
Surprised no one has done the same for Hee Haw.

Our society would block anything like that as being to mean today. Fireronzook was a fun thing to view while in college even if it was a primitive site.

Machen was a disaster at UF in many ways and why UF would hire a guy from University of Utah as its president is beyond me. Still Zook was a dead man walking from the time he tried to get himself arrest outside a frat house on.

You can not allow your team to start behaving like a street gang on a college campus. Middle and upper class parents are who you are trying to get to send their children to you. They do not send their children to places with street gangs.

The department waited until it needed the information on the frat house to use it, if Zook didn't lose to Tennessee and Mississippi State that year, we might have never heard what happened at the Frat house.

Zook was horrible, but at least his freshman QB and offense looked like they belonged in college football.

Zook, changed OC's to make a more dynamic offense... Butters hasn't... hell even Muschamp changed OC's when it wasn't working.

I believe we heard about the Frat incident at the time it happened that prior summer. Certainly the UAA did not act until Zook backed up that incident with bad losses. I do agree Zook might have won his way away from the Frat incident had he won more and behaved from then on. Had he continued to act as the head of a street game, he would have heard much from the UAA and UF despite wins.
