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.
possibly ban worthy.

you should probably hide.

It was the one offensive contribution Nusschamp made
Its hilarious. every person on the staff seems to claim that. I've heard a QA; I've heard Randy Shannon ;I've heard Nussdrunk; and even Ole Butters himself claimed.

Except Frank's was a starter. After Del Rico. Kind of hard to claim too much.

The fact is they recruited like **** and had to scrape the bottom of the barrel and got one hundreds of million lucky.

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.
well the other parts youre forgetting is that the occasional top 25 player that Mullen gets is the headliner of our class. Meyer pissed off coaches in the State of Florida by turning down the top 25 Florida kids and going out of state to get a five-star or a high four-star from another state.

Again the rivals 250 numbers for each coaches (and Bammer, OSU etc) makes that difference quite clear.

And yes Mullins is packing the team with leftovers. is he doing slightly better than Melstain? slightly. is he building a championship team? not in the next five years.

we need three straight elite classes to have the depth necessary. Bammer and Ugly arent going away.

The truth is you need a Reggie Nelson in the backfield and a Spikes in the middle along with some five-star rushers backed up by quality backups.

We all hope he'll figure out whatever is wrong with our recruiting.

I'm not particularly optimistic.

Agree on the Meyer approach as time went on. When I was looking up that data, I also looked at ‘09. We were definitely trending away from Florida and it showed. Seemed like half of that class was from out of state. Worse in 2010.

Disagree on the leftovers comment, and think we do technically have pieces in place or on the way to win a title. It doesn’t look inevitable the way 2006 did, but still possible. And I think we’re clearly trending the right direction, though maybe not as fast as I’d like. We’ll have to see what happens.

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
So you saw him, thought he looked like Kellen Winslow Jr., and as you say had a regal strut and that convinced you he was a bad guy? No real interactions. Just you looking at the guy and inferring that you don’t like something about him. Although unintentional, this was extremely hilarious to me. I literally laughed out loud. Humans can be very interesting.

Hitting an open receiver in stride is not a Hail Mary

Still wearing your Franks pajamas, eh? Will you openly be rooting for him this Saturday or just secretly?

You don't dive for balls in stride. :crazy:

You say dive, I say gracefully fell.

Only sociopaths would call this a Hail Mary.

I certainly never called it a Hail Mary, because it wasn't. I just wouldn't describe it as "in stride". It was short.

I'm quite certain that Franks never hit a WR in stride on a deep ball while at UF. I'd be surprised if he ever hit a WR in stride on a deep ball in his life, at every level, even in practice.
