So... Seabee wears skinny jeans.

Got it.

Na... Skinny hiking pants. Mountain Hardwear AP pants - best pant ever made. Levi 505 as well.

Ya... Because one is manly and the other isn’t. But switch their pants - assuming no rips or tears - and you’d see no difference. Manly men look that way no matter what.

I gotta disagree there...and as a side note skinny jeans are for chicks...period...but they are completely different in cut and style

@Slevin isn't gonna like this.

@Slevin isn't gonna like this.

I bet he’s got random tattoos on his forearms and wrists - probably chest too - that have “meaning”. Like a roaring lion or large oxen.

I’m not talking about full sleeves - just the random one or two that was popular with emo bands forever.

Yeah that’s completely lame...you either have to go all out or just stay away from it

Henderson committing is huge, and puts Gonzo in better light. I’m back on the fence. If the other stud receiver makes grades and Shorter is worth a dam and transfers, then I guess Gonzo doesn’t deserve to be in “Knoxville” or be spoken of in “English” terms.

I think Fraziers is going to be legit along with Henderson. If Weston can prove to be serviceable, we could be fine.

The WR position group went into decline when Billy G. left and has had significant improvement since he returned. Part of that improvement has been personnel (Jefferson, Grimes),part of it has been development (Hammond, Swain), part has been scheming to the team’s abilities. He’s the only good WR coach we’ve had since Dwayne Davis.

I wouldn’t ponder his departure without a list of upgrades, especially given his integral role on the staff.

I wonder if he was trying to deflect away from the passive “develop me” mindset in favor of taking guys who seize ownership of their development? I know which I would rather coach.

Dwayne Dixon?

Agree 100%. The episode with Redding is looking more and more like an isolated event as opposed to a pattern.

The concept "UF doesn't develop players" should never come out of a recruiter's mouth. Heck, that idea should never even exist in a recruiter's mind. These high-star recruits at age 17-18 are dreaming of having a college career that gets them into the NFL. Do you think that high-school youngster thinks he's already got what it takes to play in the NFL? He yearns for development, publicity, and needs that from the college he goes to.

 

[Ancient Reptile]

I refuse to believe that any UF coach said anything that stupid. He was probably asked why UF wasn't recruiting harder or offering. He should have said that the recruit didn't fit our scheme, but then he would have had to explain why, so he probably said that we recruited more polished receivers or ones that we didn't have to develop so much. The parent was hurt by UF's lack of interest and put things in the worst possible light.

[Oscar the G]

[SeabeeGator]

ARGHHHHHHH!!!! FIRE HIM NOW!!!!!

Seriously though... when we whiff on RBs this cycle, the whole board will be right there with me.
