Only Gators get out alive? yeah, that began in the 90s.

And under Zook and Mushchump, McSharkfvkker and Mullinz, about half the SEC teams get out alive.

Even when our National Champion coaches are being quoted, donk can still find an excuse to complain.

Yeah, those 15000 empty seats on the student’s side make for a great atmosphere. Time for all the eggheads to pull their noses out of the books for a few hours on Saturday and show up and make some noise.

I've sat on both sides many times over the last 15 years or so. The student side doesn't come close to what it was like when I was in school. You'd never find an empty seat. In fact, we would have block seating and the 100 or so seats in our block would be packed with at least 120 people.

Now I'll look over at the student side at kickoff and see blocks of empty seats. It's sad.

The student body is primarily Asians now. Asians have never watched a football game and never will. I'm not slamming Asians, football is just not part of their culture.

The student section needs to be cut in half, for starters.

Half isn’t enough you could take out a lot of upper seating and just use the upper student area for seating GA ppl...a side topic is how many years until football isn’t relevant anymore?

Nice to hear him make good comments about UF. I've always said there's a lot he could do to heal some wounds. Maybe that's what he's doing. But he's right about the Swamp.

At the risk of sounding Jimmy the Greekish, the real issue is Asians only take up half as much space. We could easily be at 120k for Auburn.

I just looked - it's about 8% Asian. Need to find a better excuse.

8% or not, that's probably 10 times what it was 20 years ago.

The other excuse is the academic standards at UF are so high now only bullet-headed nerds who have never picked up a ball in their lives are allowed in. These dorks care about having their noses in their books, and that's all they care about. They don't even care about laying the opposite sex.

Based on what I’m seeing, it’s not books they have their noses in. They’re obsessed with gaming and other indoor activities. My kids love that crap but have a blast when I force them outside. If those dorks would just try a football game, they’d be hooked.

Yes if can get them to do this plus run over to the Porpoise for some halftime refreshments.
