The Heat Is On....

[Swamp Donkey]

Wait, what? Where am I? I lost track of which underachieving, disappointing, frustrating Gator team and coach we are disparaging? Is this Sully, White or Mac?

I will give you a free pro tip. If I'm involved, we are bytching about Butterteef. I don't give a shyt about nonrevenue sports.

What if...... Coach Macaroo can take these,
as you say way below normal recruiting classes, and wins games of significance this year. QB and offensive wise he was dealt a very bad hand. WM messed this program up badly. The LSU and Iowa victories gave me some hope.

Now you are giving pro tips. I busted my gut reading that. At some point in life reality does set in. I'm gonna try to set up a one-on-one for you with the water boy. That would be a great matchup.

There is one thing great about America:

THE Waterboy or just a waterboy? THE Waterboy looked pretty tough. Not sure I'm up for that. Probably doesn't matter much. I've never believed in fair fights anyway.

Uhhh, I think it's fireballs from his eyes AND lightning bolts from his arse.

No matter how many times a pumper says it...it's not true.

Will Muschamp's four defensive recruiting classes at Florida included 31 blue-chip prospects (4- or 5-star recruits) and just 14 non blue-chippers. That 69 percent total of blue-chip defenders has helped produce five NFL Draft picks already, with several more slated to be taken in this year's draft.


The big question many Florida recruitniks have is whether that defensive success on the field will be sustainable with a considerable drop in talent; at least insofar as talent is measured by star ratings.


Jim McElwain's first three defensive classes?


Just 11 blue-chippers to 24 non blue-chippers, for a blue-chip percentage of 31 percent. New defensive coordinator Randy Shannon, by conventional wisdom then, will have a lot less to work with than his immediate predecessors.

2017 15/23 65% ...... 45/93 48%

Conclusions:
1) Transition years hurt but it depends on who you're following. Chump followed Meyer, 2 NC's and Meyer who wasn't on the hot seat so that transition class wasn't that bad - 58%. Meyer followed hot seat Zook with 44%. And Mac followed the horrible era of hot seat Chump with 33%. The outlier is Zook. Zook followed Spurrier who left only a few weeks from NSD. And yet it was only 39%. Why was that class so down?
2) Meyer is the blue chip recruiting champion. He's far ahead of Zook, Chump and Mac. Not including transition years Meyer was 75% compared to the other three at 53%/56%/52% respectively.
3) Mac's 2017 65% is better than Chump did any year. And right now 2018 looks like 67%. Not quite Meyer level but 10% better than Chump's classes.
4) And finally, 2018 won't have enough blue chippers. It will take until 2019 to be loaded.

So having only one sport to focus on explains you having so much shyt saved up.??

Easily your weakest attempt yet. BTW, what was Chump's record after two years?

It's not an attempt douche nozzle. It's facts.

 

[T REX]

Chump sucked and until Mac starts beating ranked teams...he's below average for UF.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

It's not an attempt douche nozzle. It's facts.

The problem is that Mac's record is with Chimps players, as generally Chimp's wins were with Creyer's players, so there is no correlation.

Butters' piss poor recruiting tells us about how much trouble the next coach will have.

Good sir, as I recall you have gone to law school. UF Law in fact. I'm hazy as to whether or not you have passed the bar but no matter. I commend you for the accomplishment. The study of law no doubt requires superior comprehension and reasoning skills. And yet, you incessantly fail to demonstrate these abilities. I presume that latent alcohol fetal syndrome has finally presented itself. Mom it seems, just couldn't lay off the two-for-one margarita specials at Chi-Chi's, could she? I did not explicitly or implicitly imply a correlation between a coach's winning % and doing so with his players. I present numbers. Or more accurately I painstakingly tabulate numbers for the edification of the ungrateful collective you. Honest numbers. Numbers that don't lie to you like that bitch Sara that said she was going out of town to visit her sick Aunt but instead you caught her sleeping with Mike from Accounting. But I digress.
So I give you numbers and with it the rights of free use. Do what you will with them, and that whore Sara. The Blue Chip theory was brought up and it spiked my curiosity. That's all. No point or argument was intended. I just wished to know how each team stacked up. However once the data is collated one can look for patterns, anomalies, etc. I simply point out these curiosities. They're numbers. They don't like....... like that slut Sara.

To answer your earlier question, seriously is simple math that far out of your wheelhouse, Chump's 2 year record was 18-8 69%. Coincidentally that is also the average Blue Chip percentage.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Good sir, as I recall you have gone to law school. UF Law in fact. I'm hazy as to whether or not you have passed the bar but no matter.

Bar was easy, bro. Hell, law school was easy. Only Kennedys fail the bar.

Numbers that don't lie to you like that ***** Sara that said she was going out of town to visit her sick Aunt but instead you caught her sleeping with Mike from Accounting. But I digress.

I'm confused? Who is Sara?

Back to numbers.

Chump had eight losses in his first two years also, right? Weird. Is 8 a number? Does it lie.

116th, that's a number right? Does it lie?

0-2 with two blowouts vs Bammer. Lie?

1-1 vs Bandboy with the one victory being on a last second missed field goal. Lie?

0-1 vs Arkansas...... yes I said Arkansas. Lie?

0-2 with two blowouts vs Clowns. Lie?

Hasn't even scored an offensive TD vs Clowns. Does that number, are we going to argue if zero is a number, does it lie?

Tell me again about numbers. I'm slow with numbers.
