The Current State of Gator Sports

[Swamp Donkey]

Being stupid is expensive and we are the dumbest mofos in the SEC.

Well.... there is always Shane Beamer. I think we have to say that we hired ONE of the dumbest mofos.

Mark down Oct. 5th after our record falls to 2-3 or 1-4, and the humiliation of UCF fans storming the field in front of a stunned sellout crowd.... I'm pretty sure he'll know it's a

Nobody's gonna be stunned if we lose to ucf

Maybe UCF.

Clearly someone has forgotten the hockey championship. Can't win it all in every sport every year.

Yeah, that'll probably inspire Foley and Stricklin to shut down the hockey club and put the money they received toward adding women's varsity hockey.

Some of y'all are gonna be really confused when ucf whips taters ass. Get ready.

Who’s going to be confused other than Scott Stricklin?

There's multiple ppl in this thread that actually think we go 8-4 this year and that ucf will be an easy win.

The part about a sellout crowd aligns with my point that the administration doesn’t care about what we care about.
If we sellout every home game, Scottie and the like will still think everything is fine.

Well consider 35,000 or so of that sellout will be UCF fans....

My two unpurchased season tickets are available to help.

Being 1.5 hours away their base will pick up every available ticket...their fanbase and ours are certainly on 2 different trajectories.

Stricklin doesn’t care who buys them.
The revenue is all that matters

No one GAF dude. No one. Even you dont. You don't go sit in the stands with 20 other people for those sports no one gives a **** about. You dont know the names of the players. all the players combined don't have the name and face recognition of Lagway, who hasn't played a game yet.

Not a damn one of those sports produces a penny.

No one cares about "all sports trophy" either. No one knows that Stanford wins it most years. There are no headlines on ESPN or any of the news each year. No parades. No standing in the Atlanta Dome or Rose Bowl getting a trophy while confetti flies.

By the way we never have won the all sports trophy ANYWAY.

Once football is finally dead dead dead and the stadium perennially 1/3 full, all those tick sports that have survived all football money will die also regardless.

I responded to Durty’s OP about the current state of men’s sports. I’ve posted elsewhere about how everything depended on football. That goes well beyond the sports program. It drives fundraising, brand recognition, raises the admissions profile and on and on.

I would go to other sports if I lived in or at least close to Gainesville. I do watch them on TV when I can. But no, they don’t matter compared to football.

I honestly don't know if our football team is even able to win 4 games next season and beyond. Basketball team though is on the upward trajectory there is no doubt about it. We were picked to finish 10th in the SEC but finished 6th in the regular season and 2nd in the tourney. We got shafted on our NCAAT seeded and lost to the hottest team in the country that shouldn't have been in the play in game. Shafted by the refs too who called a clean game vs Marquette and Colorado lost. We shall see what the future holds for us all

Count me as one of them.

At this point I admit I would get more pleasure out of seeing people like you back peddling than I would the Gators actually winning the games. It would be funny as hell.

1.5 hours from Orlando? Are you stuck in 2015? Try 3 hours, minimum.

You should figure out a way to find joy in something that will actually happen. And if by some miracle it did happen, it would only extend our misery. Tater is the worst coach in our history and will never win jack freaking squat here. He's trash.

We were talking about Sasse not stricklin and when a bunch of people dressed in Black and Gold tear down the goal post after storming the field the lynch mob will not be denied....

I don't think so. I see championships.

If Napier coaches a team, and no body is there to watch, will they still lose?
