Dante Fowler Thanks Gator Nation

[GatorTAG]

Takes out a full page ad thanking Florida for the exposure and support. http://florida.247sports.com/Bolt/Da...-fans-35200324

That's a pretty cool thing to do.

 

[oxrageous]

Very nice gesture. Looks expensive.

 

[t-gator]

Pretty cool of him. I think he's going to be pretty damn good at the next level

 

[Gator Fever]

Hopefully some of the recruits see that.

 

[GatorTAG]

Very nice gesture. Looks expensive.

I've always wondered how these guys are so rich before they ever get an NFL paycheck. I assume their agent fronts them some future earnings?

 

[NavetG8r]

Wish him all the best. I expect he'll do well at the next level. Proud to call him a Gator!

I would think a bank would loan them money easily also when they are a 1st or 2nd round pick for sure.

 

[MJMGator]

Thanks, Dante! One of the few bright spots the past 3 years was watching you play. Go Gators!

I remember Emmitt driving a brand new 300 Z on campus 3 weeks after declaring for the draft. I'm sure his agent fronted him the money.

Definitely a perfect gesture at recruiting time. Thank you Sir Dante Fowler … can't Gator Nation be-knight someone ?

 

[MidwestChomp]

Nice gesture a la Sharrif Floyd. Glad he was a Gator and hope he's a stud in the NFL. And I believe KC is correct, agents often give a signing bonus.

 

[soflagator]

Very cool. Wish Fowler all the best. I can't even imagine how the past 3 years would've gone without him.

 

[BoomTown]

Class Act! Wish him only the best. The past 3 would've looked a lot like 77, 78, and 79 without him.

 

[TLB]

Not cheap, even if it is the G'ville Sun. Needs more internet exposure to spread to recruits who don't live in G'ville Sun circulation areas.

Respect the move, and the player.

Very nice gesture. Looks expensive.

"I'm leaving with Muschamp!" Actions speak louder than an ad written by someone else.

I guess this is supposed to make up for his public temper tantrum and support of a loser coach.

 

[Ray Finkle]

An agent for a top 10 pick is going to front his guys some money

 

[VulcanAlex]

Great example and of course it should be a recruiting advantage because no matter the coach we Gators are here and behind our players if not their coaches.

I know you're in a "bash everything" mode, but the guy is a top 10 pick (expect Dan Quinn and the Falcons to take him at #8) and he'd be a fool to stay for ANY coach.

I really not sure how anyone could be critical about a newspaper article thanking the fans and showing love for the Gators, but you're really on an impressive roll these days.
