Jesus Christ you’re a drama queen. Is almost any of this even validated? And what does any of this have to do with getting into the ring of honor?
That's not drama. If you followed the thread, i was responding to a question regarding what he had done that should preclude him from being in. The poster believed Urban's record was as clean as the Pope's.

And since we're talking cover ups, he might be right.

And yes, all of it is validated. Feel free to dispute any of it

Yes, he sleep walked his way around in 2010 but he left enough talent for a bum like will muschamp to win 11 games with.

2012 proved that our 2010 recruiting rank was a sham. We had a championship caliber D with a JV high school talent O. Our sched was very soft too and we got exposed against the only few teams that were any good that year. Our offense was a dumpster fire because our roster was a mixed bag of nuts and screws that didn't match. It doesn't prove your point at all ... the opposite ... program was broke. Dumpster fire. Chump was just the match ... the state Urbs and Foley left it was the gasoline.

And let me be very clear ... Urbs walked into campus and got us rolling. He is arguably the greatest coach we've had for a 3 yr span. But it ended poorly and that counts too. When I look at him ... I just don't see a Gator. It's akin to me laughing at USC for treating SOS as a gamecock.

That is Foley’s fault. Urbs quit and Foley talked him into to staying on another year in a part time role so he had more time to find the next great coach...Will Mushchamp. :lol:

Foley didn't have a plan... and we started the lost decade.

I thought the same thing; and it looked and sounded like Urbs had a few cocktails before composing the b-day wishes for SOS.
he can barely handle the stress of day-to-day life. imagine how much valium and vodka he's guzzlin' right now?

WTF!?! Urban?!?




Hmmm on a boat with a dude who Urban REALLY doesn't want the world the see. Did they just go fishin' with their poles or did they go "fishin" with their poles, if you catch my drift...

Is this the sonofabitch Urban cheated on his wife with in Gainesville that led us to a decade of depressing football!?!! Nah probably not but I gotta speculate on something since it looks like we aren't getting football for a long time.

Same source that told me about the SEC only schedule months ago also said "if we have games someone is going in the ring, that's all I can say" that's all he had to say.

You know what the biggest pile of bullsh*t is? You get Ring of Honor for being in the Pro Football Hall of Fame (accomplishments having little to do with UF performance) and don't get Ring of Honor for College Football Hall of Fame (accomplishments 100% having to do with UF performance). Now, there are some Gators in line for potentially both, but still I think that's crap.

Fred Taylor could meet both potentially. I mean of the top 20 rushers of all time (NFL) he is currently 17 and above several Hall of Famers, of those top 20, he is #4 in ypc. Now I know that it is tricky and playing for my Jaguars doesn't help, but this dude was saddled with some of the worst NFL teams of the early 2000's. Every player above him is in (except two currently active players).

Lomas Brown is college football Hall of Fame, but the NFL hasn't come calling and even Barry Sanders says he should be in.

I know this is about Meyer, but I'm highjacking it on behalf of the College Football Hall of Famers (and Fred Taylor).

And yes, give it to Meyer.

Lomas in an interview after retiring admitted he let an end run unabated at Scott Mitchell, knocking him out of the game for the sole purpose of getting Rodney Pete in.
Of all the stupid things players have said through the years it's still the dumbest thing I have ever heard a player say.
He may never get in and deservedly so.

I will be honest, I never heard that story.
