I still don’t believe the gators didn’t capitalize on all that success. I really thought the football and basketball programs would zoom into the stratosphere and we would see numerous titles. We were on top of the world. The decline was sudden and long.

Not enough people hold Foley responsible. He definitely destroyed it all for a failed vanity project to win the #1 athletic department trophy. A trophy no one on the planet cares about except for half a dozen athletic directors. Yeah, let's take money from the revenue generating sports and ram it into things no one cares about. Blows my mind how reluctant everyone is to acknowledge this even still.

Miami(FL)'s "NIL King" booster is still under investigation by the other SEC for "accounting errors" among other things. Here is the latest update for his company with the ticker MSPR:

2.19 USD? -6,047.81 (-99.96%) all time

I wonder how this will impact Miami(FL) moving forward.

Jackson is a needed depth piece and you know you didnt want to lose Pyburn.

I'd say Jackson is the real loss. If Pyburn extracted from LSU the playtime demands he wanted from Florida, you might be annoyed by the end of next season. He's solid against the run though. It's just out of 40 sacks on the team, he had 1...as an edge...with 350 snaps or so.

Whoever gets TJ Searcy is the team getting a quality edge player.

Yeah, we should give the trophy to a guy that played against 1 decent team all season

---

Decent? You mean the #1 team in the country that he rocked for 200 yards and almost found a way for a team like Boise State to beat them? It's not like he racked up stats against the weakest opponents either. His lowest output was against the FCS school.

the guy who played 100+ snaps of football almost every game and was the best player on the field, on either side of the ball, every time the ball was snapped.

I think you would love high school football, man. This happens every week at most schools.

My question is how many players have played DB/WR in college? It seems like a really high hit rate for the Heisman just showing up doing this. It shouldn't come down to twisting the arm of a coach to get a Heisman for playing both sides of the ball.

Florida used to have a yearly rivalry game with Auburn. As of next season they will have played once in 14 years. Meanwhile, there will have been 6 games played against Texas A&M. Nothing against Texas A&M, they seem like nice people, but what the hell?

SEC scheduling is terrible. I would be shocked if that changes in my lifetime. I almost can't wait to see how they're going to screw over some teams and play favorites for 2026. All you can do is enjoy the show as they strain all credibility.

If you guys want the actual answer for the friendliest fanbases, look at 3rd tier Midwest teams and Pacific Northwest schools in small towns. They may talk shite, but ultimately, they are just wanting to hang out and have a good time win or lose. If you emit that kind of energy, you will find it reflected back at you even as a fan of an opposing team.

If you want to find the least friendly fanbases, find a fanbase with national championship expectations who continually gets close but never wins. An example is Georgia fans were the absolute worst. But, since their team won they've become much more bearable. If we cared to, we could probably come up with a blue balls formula to find out who the worst fanbase is.

Ohio State fans have got to be the worst or close to it. I haven't spent time with Oregon fans, but I could imagine they carry a lot of frustration as well.

What an odd stat.

UGA is 43rd in "stop rate", yet 15th in total (yardage) defense and 17th in scoring defense.

---

Why is it odd? The stats you listed off can be drastically altered by burning clock with a ball control offense to shorten the game. They are more of a team stat than a defense stat.

I feel like I say this a lot, but Napier first lowered the bar of expectations to the floor and then stepped over it. It is impressive he didn't lose the locker room, but it seems hardly coach of the year worthy.

247sports says that Florida has the #12 team talent composite, which is on par with LSU and well ahead of Ole Miss. If you want to question the use of the talent composite as a metric, you may have a point. But I don't see anything better.

I first found BVD almost a decade ago. There was a video of him losing his mind and cursing Florida. It made me feel good because it was during one of the (many) lowest points of Florida football I have experienced. While I may have felt bad, this guy clearly felt worse. But I listened to a few more videos and realized he was a very likeable guy. I wasn't a regular listener of his shows or anything, but I did listen to quite a few. So much so that when Florida lost to Tennessee in 2022 I immediately thought "Well, at least BVD is going to be happy."

Even though we didn't share a fandom, there was something I really enjoyed about hearing him talk about his love for the game and his team. Sad to hear that he has passed.

throwing that shade about a guy being out after deliberately trying to injury him two weeks earlier is punk behavior.

No one tried to deliberately injure him. Did you seriously believe that Cletus moron on twitter saying he was being punched in the face? If you actually look at the video clip, it is clear that he's just having his mouthpiece yanked. It's a bit childish to do so, but there wasn't any injury or intent to do so.

I can't believe you were fooled into thinking that was an attempt to injure. But, I guess taxes exist for society to help take care of people like yourself.
