What he said.For those that think facilities - such as nice/big dorms, players lounges, nice weight rooms, etc - don't matter you need to go hang out w/ teenagers and find out what really matters to them. They DO care about those things and if all things are equal they will choose the pretty toys over the worn out same-old
Didn't we just build an indoor practice facility, upgrade the athlete dorms and start a 50 million dollar renovation of the O-Dome? Look, I'm hating Foley as much as the next guy, probably more on a day when the NCAA starts without us, but it's not accurate to say we refuse to upgrade. Late to the party? Sure. But it's not like we've done nothing.
Yup, the upgrade Fooley promised Billy D in 1998.50 Million Dollar renovation for basketball
What he said.
Some of these kids spend 4 or 5 hours a day sitting on their asses playing games. It is what it is, like it or not, be it wrong or right...You better give them a damned comfortable place to do it. If not you'll start getting out of it(the program) what you put into it....
I'd be lying if I said I didn't believe this myself until a couple of years back. Besides kids that are 17&18 now were in 4th grade the last time our football team was great.....they don't remember how great we were.In fact, it is that exact same sentiment..."We are FLORIDA!" that got us here. We don't need to compete, we're the best. We don't get in arms races, we're the best.

It's not even much of an upgrade. Its basically just new bleachers. You still wont be able to for shcit once you get past the middle of section 2. It's just a huge waste of money imo.Yup, the upgrade Fooley promised Billy D in 1998.
Some espn moron named Hiney "blogs" the worst facilities so you can repeat the SOS about JF. Do you and Law ever think of anything else?Not buying it? LOL. You're the same guy who Muschamp could've murdered your grandma and you'd still been calling for his fifth season.
Where are the Foleyites?
USCe must now be including muschamp's private island mansion... Purchased complimentary of the UF athletic department.
Let's play Athletic Director. Why don't a few of you geniuses individually put together your line item list of facility improvements/changes or upgrades that you feel necessary to allow UF to recruit 5 star high school football players on a nationally championship level. year in and year out. Along with your list, be sure and include what you think the cost impact and construction timeline.should be. This is not a personnel search and keep in mind you will also need to get these facility changes or upgrades approved and financed.
