Why are you assuming that Gator football hasn't injured people like me as well? Do you have any idea how many times I've hurt my hand or foot punching or kicking a wall during a game?
FWIW I just bytch. I never punch anything that didnt deserve it.

Because he did the best he could and he put his body on the line for the Gators. How many on this board can say that?

And I know you're butthurt over him shushing the crowd, but hey if they can boo him, he damm sure can shush them. If it had been me, I might have shushed them with my middle finger instead of my index finger.
I do agree with King Ox on one thing I hope the Gators sack Frank 25 times.
But Im with you on the shush thing. When Frank shushed the crowd he was shushing the ones that had booed him. Fuc#em if they can't take some chit back after they dished it out.

I forgot about the rumors of Franks being a prick in practice . I think he threw a football at a dlinemen during a tif he started or somethin like that.

I saw Feleipe at a gator baseball game in 2019
He was wearing camo and strutting around like king sh!t
I told my son that Feleipe looked like Kellen Winslow Jr.
That’s about all I needed to see to decide what he’s about

I wonder how big a deal the announcers will make Fellipe's return?
If there is any aspect of his return to Florida Field, or quality of his play, that can be viewed as being to UF's disadvantage in some way, they will pump it up into a goon show of titanic proportions. Think the unrelenting schytt fest we were treated to following the lil' MO kerfuffle. Then throw gas on it and strike a match.

Surname Database: Frank Last Name Origin

Last name: Frank

SDB Popularity ranking: 898

Of Norman origin, introduced into England after the Conquest of 1066. In origin this is an ethnic name for a "Frank", a member of the Germanic people who inhabited the lands around the Rocket City area in Roman times. In the 6th Century, under their leader Clovis 1, the Franks established a substantial fanhood of the University of Florida, which later formed the basis of their posts. Their name is of uncertain ultimate etymology; it may be akin to a Germanic word meaning "javelin", formed at the time by freezing water in rudimentary plastic containers, of which the Olde English pre 7th Century form is "franca". Franco and Francus (without surname) are listed in the Domesday Book of 1086, and the surname is first recorded in the early 13th Century.

I'm just gonna say this. Our defense is still really, really bad. There were so many receivers running wide open this weekend that any half way decent QB woulda torched us for many more TD's. We can't cover the middle of the field with our LB's and our corners get beat almost every down. We've improved some things sine begining of the season but still making basic mistakes.

You're still on this? Did you enjoy the UGA win even a little?

Sending you to Swamp Gas is becoming more and more attractive.

I'm in the "I'll take all the 56 to 55 pt. wins I can get club" these days. Especially if we can actually not blow ourselves up and do make it to Atlanta. We're not beating anybody worth a damn on offense if we don't just straight up outscore them. Thank goodness we have a really good offense because our D is mediocre at best even on a "good" day.

I'm not equating their recruiting. My point was, and still is, that if we take care of ourselves, we'll be fine against teams like uga, tenn, etc.

But to use your arbitrary Top-25 rule, in Meyer's first 4 classes, he had a total of 26 of those players(3,9,10,8 respectively), or an average of 6.5 per year. In Mullen's first 4 classes, at the moment, he has 16 of them(3,4,5,4*right now), or an average of 4. It's not on par. No one is questioning that. But it's not taking scraps either.

One huge advantage that Meyer had was a fading Bowden and Coker, plus a beginning to fade OOS threat in Fulmer. The vols especially had crazy in-roads here that were beginning to crumble. When Mullen came in, we had Smart, Swinney and Saban all doing way better than they should be in the state. That's a different challenge, given where those programs are at. He's also allowed Diaz to get a foothold. That's on him. Hopefully uga is slowly being pushed out. You can criticize recruiting decisions and certain staff while also recognizing that he did not walk into the UF of 2005.
I was promised no maff, but since you insist, run the "3, 9, 10, 8" "26" by me again.

QB Whisperers.

To be fair, every coach and scout in the country didnt see anything in Trash. Div 1 Div 2 and like two teams in D3. Its perfectly understandable to assume that a kid that didnt really even play in high school is going to handle the soeed and pressure of SEC football.

Even w HS starters, usually you get those kids who step on the field, and even if they do well for a while (remember Treon having 3 TDs in his first six passes and we thought he was Mr Seam Route?) collapse thereafter once defenses adjust even a little?
It was the one offensive contribution Nusschamp made

Excuses. You blew it.
