Dameon Pierce interview:

Watch: Not many Gators more personable with media than Dameon Pierce



Q: So, if this hasn't been asked—you chose Florida, there are a lot of great players here and other schools, but Alabama gets a ton of them. What is it about Alabama, how do they get players there, and stockpile so much talent?

Pierce: “Edgar, man I thought you had something better for me man. I don't work in recruitment at Alabama. I don't know what they do. I don’t know Edgar, come on man."

Q: Well, like if you were given a choice I mean, if they were coming after you hard—did they?

Pierce: "I was committed to Bama, Edgar, we know this.”

Q: Oh, I'm not a recruiting guys, Zach Abolverdi, he would know.

Pierce: “I was committed to Alabama…man”

Q: So you were you were committed to Bama; you talked about this tonight?

Pierce: "No, I'm about to now.”

Q: All right, let me have it. Why didn't you, what swayed you to come to Florida, because Alabama don't lose that many battles.

Pierce: “They don’t lose that many? You probably right on that one. I don’t know, Edgar, I was so young bro, gosh. We going back to what 2017? Let’s get in the time machine and go back. Why did I come to Florida? That’s the question you’re asking me?”

Q: Let’s do it, c’mon

Pierce: “Bama was what, seven hours away from me. Florida is what, two and a half, three at the most? My mama can get here easy. I don’t like my momma on the road that long. Other than that, Edgar. I had a better relationship we know what the coaches here, then there. So, ultimately you know that I'm a relationship guy, you know, and that was the ultimate deciding factor for me.”

Q: Being a 15 point underdog at home? Does that light a fire?

Pierce: “This is my first time hearing that. 15 points? Against Bama? They being nice, aint they? They being nice ain’t they?”

Q: You think?

Pierce: “I think they is. Everybody Bama plays is what, like 20 plus (point underdogs)? They showing us love. They showing love to us. 15-point underdogs.”

Even I dont want to hear me talk.

... so you admit you don't know what you're talking about.? Unheard of, I tell you.

At least Bacardi had a 151 rum. Donk was into some cheap sorority girl stuff. Captain Morgan's Valley Girl Rum.

The label on that 151 proof carries the warning = Caution. Do not store anywhere near heat. (i.e. not in the kitchen cabs near the stove-oven)

These are not going to age well.

My whole life there have been pins on game day that read “Beat___”. They also made shirts, programs and even tix with a cartoon alligator eating/punching/killing a rival mascot. It’s not like he’s talking bulletin board material smack. He’s selling a relevant game week shirt. I’m not even calling for a win Saturday. But I still feel like we’ve turned into a bunch of limp wristed defeatists.

We've turned into realist. Atleast we don't sound like Tennessee or FSU fans. I hate to keep beating the same drum but if the better qb was playing, the predictions would be different. We've seen this movie a hundred times over the last 10 years. Hard to be too optimistic.

So should we be within 5 points 1:43 left? Who among you guys wish for us to just lay down and resign to losing.? Is that the Gator Growl?

So after we get curb stomped tomorrow and realize we haven’t beaten a team since 2008 do we finally see some recruiting changes or nah?

This is year 4, this is his staff, this is how he wants to recruit. This isn't year one or two... For Mullen it's year 15 (?) and as the Gator HC it's year 4... it's who he is.
