Folks, this isn't high school football, it's the NCAA and specifically the SEC, where coaches are compensated in the millions and where athletes use their scholarships to hone their skills in what's essentially become the NFL's minor leagues.
I'm not one for using tasteless or vile monikers as a means to describe a player, but I think it's just as important to distinguish what college football has come to represent. This isn't your grandfather's leather-helmeted NCAA but rather a money-making machine involving public-figure athletes who in many instances see no wrong in using the social media (or mainstream media for that matter) to articulate their opinions. As such, the athletes have positioned themselves as not being above the criticism or even occasional harsh criticism of the fans.

He would do well there. I heard that coach likes to use the punter to establish field position.I could've sworn I just saw on the ESPN scrawl that he's transferring to be with the new USCe coach.

That is it...
My golden rule for message boards: If you do not care for someones post, don't read or don't respond. Never ever post negative comments about a fellow Gator fan. Which is why, at our former home, my IGNORE list was damn full. So, when Mr. OX (aka Mr. jawja red vette) built us a new home, I promised myself to be more "open/tolerant" and to never use the IGONRE list.
... promise broken... Sasquat & MJM will be the first on my Gatorchatter IGNORE list (others will fallow, I'm sure)... Ox has built a great/fun place for Gator Nation to hang out but franky, some of you suck the joy out this place.
FYI maybe my frustration level has diminished my BS level... blame that on treon as well!
So if I accuse you of rape tomorrow, that makes you a rapist? Pathetic reasoning. So you apparently think the oh so athlete protective GPD and UPD covered it up? You haven't lived around here very long if you think that.
The real problem has not been Treon, ... McElwain has never replaced him on the field and that is the fault of the coaching staff.
Mac became coach too late last year to recruit a better quarterback than Grady. He couldn't talk Driskel out ot transferring because Driskel couldn't face the thought of competition. Harris looked like he had potential last year as a true freshman. It isn't Mac's fault Grier screwed up. So now Mac finds that Treon can't play quarterback and Grady is even worse. Who would you have Mac use to replace Treon? There is no one. It's not Mac's fault. He is doing everything possible recruiting wise to make sure this can't happen again. If you feel the need to dump on someone use Muschamp; nobody will be upset. Mac is doing a great job so far. He gets a three year pass; this is only the end of year one.
No one and I mean no one gets a 3 year pass in all of CFB these days, let alone a major program like UF. Foley's 4 year mistake has opened the eyes of AD's across the country to the damage of holding on too long.....He gets a three year pass; this is only the end of year one.
