I'm just going to wait til NSD to get pissed off. You hear on one thread we're going to do well and the other to "temper" your expectations. I won't be surprised by anything at this point.
That's a novel idea. Mind if I join you?

Well, if true then wholesale changes have to be made . It doesn't help that ESPN has questioned our recruiting and now the SEC network has joined in the fun. Recruits must think the Gator program is toxic and I don't blame them. It started when Foley allowed Urban that extra year, then Musclecramp, and now Butters. The new AD is Foley's puppet. If all of this crap happens then it will take years to get out of this. It's no longer as simple as win and they will come. The recruits have seen FSU embarrass us 2 yrs in a row (under Butters). Alabama well they blasted this team twice. I was a pumper, but I think reality has sunk in....well we have basketball...oh wait

the SEC channel is owned by ESPN so not a surprise they would hit the same story, but actually...

Yup. It's our fault. We ran SOS off into the richest coaching contract in history at the time. We totally ran Zook and Meyer off too. Chump? Hated him too. Now we are responsible for Mac's ineptness and total lack of panache? Gator fans are also responsible for global warming and isis.

Way to go with Chump, Zook, and the players we didn't want anyway.

Many years ago, I knew some college players and the fan base did play a role in their decision. We ain't got much going for us so we don't need any additional straws.

Are you suggesting to be silent?

The fans are the same at every damn university in the country. Blaming the fans is ludicrous.

Visit any rival message board and it is all the same. Hell, OSU fans complain about Meyer.

The fans that try to blame other fans just refuse to acknowledge the truth. Remember Coach's ramblings?

I think they just added Zika and Ebola to Gator fandom unhappiness.
