The University of Florida announced today that they have filled a hole in the football staff, director of football operations.
Meyer introduced the new addition to the staff, Troy Starr:
“I’m excited that he is finally joining our staff,” Meyer said. “We have actually tried to hire him on a number of occasions before, but it wasn’t the right fit for his family and his children at the time. Troy is a natural fit for the Gator football family, having spent the last 15-plus years teaching various life skills at the high school level and the last 20 years coaching high school athletes.”
Well, at least Meyer is making an effort to get the Gators up to the high school level in the life skills department. If the new guy can get it done, it would be more impressive than the national title they won last year.
Herban should try fisting
The Hole
I guess I should ask: WTF is a life skill? Learning your primary colors? Or how to make coke from the coca plant?
In Gainesville, it obviously means the proper techniques to brandish and discharge automatic weaponry.
Probably tries to team them common sense shit, you know, like don’t throw beer kegs at people.
Or slash throats over beer?
Gainesville Life skills=Puff, puff, pass.
Gator Skills
those Gators must have one hell of an Engineering school, Jai
aluminum foil, a spit bottle, a bic pen and some weed???
Frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t hire a former parole officer for the position. Seems like an essential experience requirement in Gainesville.
Gee, the team trying to provide a positive environment for the players is a crime, isn’t it? Maybe if Tennessee did something similar, they might once again be relevent on the FIELD. Instead, they are just a borderline TOp 25 team with a chubby little coach and hillbilly fans. YeeHaw!
So #11, You are saying that teaching them the reverse engineering of Bong is good? And, to have them field strip an AK-47 in 2 seconds is essential?
The gator player that slashed the students throat the other night must need some additional training. Fortunately for UF, Foley and Meyer and envelope full of
Chris Raineysmoney fixed the problem. Yee-Haw!!!You sound a like a truly bitter little man, #12.
As if UT hasn’t had MORE than their share of off field problems. It’s just that the national press doesn’t bother reporting.
The program has reached a point of being irrelevant.
The truth hurts.
Yee haw.
Wow GatorGod, you put the tard in retard again. You are fucking blind if you don’t see The Program (UF) spinning into a Switzer Tailspin. I have never seen a team get into so much shit and avoid the national media’s scrutiny. Does Meyer supply them with weed too?
Would you like me to list the litany of shit that Florida has done the last 2 years? hell, I have it for the last 15.
“Would you like me to list the litany of shit that Florida has done the last 2 years?”
I’d rather you list the litany of success UT has had the last 2 years….should be a much shorter list.
Gator certainly like to deflect attention from the issues surrounding florida football. You know that the guy you are sparring with is an Auburn fan, right Gator? With that said:
Remember Ron Zook? You Hog-Towners should send him a Christmas card for recruiting that defense. To keep you asses from Jortsville honest, here is a copy and paste from Warchant:
Part of running a clean program is to make the atmosphere to where players don’t want to chance getting in trouble with the coaches. Is that happening at uf? Let’s see:
1. Puff Thomas – multiple drug test failures, pot and GHB. Gate fans tried to convince us all it was from the same test… then the truth came out, near the end of the season.
2. After Puffy Moss jumped up and salvaged the croc’s season against the cocks, it was revealed he to also failed a drug test during the summer. What game did he miss? The showdown between top ranked uf versus division II weakling western carolina.
3. Riley Cooper smashed a windshield, welcome the perfect gater.
4. The star of the 2006 recruiting class is a guy who was banned from Virginia sports, why? because he slugged a ref and had been involved in numerous brawls.
5. 7-Man shower Self shooting gun incident, gate players had a $60,000 SUV loaded with improperly registered AK’s and other machine guns… and they were all drunk while shooting at apartment windows for fun. Of course initially nobody took the blame and they all said they were in the shower, that the gun must have shot itself…
6. Dallas Bike Stealer, steals a bike, but when cops questioned him, Dallas said, heck man, I just thought the bike was “abandoned”.
7. Baby Momma Slappin AA.
8. Nate Boathang gets into a heated arguement with some chick, a knife fight breaks out, Nate Dogg ends up bloodied on the floor, luckily he was still alive.
9. At Da Club, Ronnie “The Rifleman” Wilson slaps some guy, then spits on him, then ends it by shooting at him, luckily police actually stepped in one time before he killed that guy.
10. Dusty Rhodes Doe, pummels some dude in a Alaucha County vs. Pasco County gang fight(Reds vs. Crips style).
11. Chris Rainey and other recruits brag about how many gifts and wads of cash they are getting from Gator Alumni/Boosters… Cash, Jewelry, and throwback jerseys. But he was just joking. Ha Ha Ha.
Yep, he’s really run a clean program since coming onto campus and preaching the Top 1% of the Top 1%. We already know Doc Holiday is a cheating mule, Clean program, that’s a freakin joke. gater fans should be embarrassed by this team.
“Yep, he’s really run a clean program since coming onto campus ”
Wow. That really hurts coming from fans of AU and UT. Pristine programs if ever there were any. Notre Dame has nothing on you guys in the self righteous department.
So how was the throat slash beer keg victim convinced not to file charges? Physical violence? Money and throwback jerseys? Free supply of Herban’s finest Bam-Bam?
Or did he just disappear, all cloak and dagger?
That list on #16 is missing the 2 LBs that were kicked off the team right around signing day. Wasn’t that Bam-Bam related too? What is nice about that, is that it shows that Meyer does have a discipline program. But even better, he freed up 2 scholarships for some of the blue chip recruits.
Herban kills 2 birds with one stone. Oh, I think one of those guys was involved with the throat slashing incident too.
Maybe there is more to the story than you little bloggateers know?
Yes, maybe someday, after the Bull Gators write a book on the exploits of intimidation and extortion it will be in the open
Pics of the vic
Are those the official police photos? Or just the official FSU photos?
The dog is Gunsville PD
That’s what I thought.
I bet old Stephen Garcia florida prep qb, 2 alcohol/Vandal suspension at USC, wishes he had gone to Florida. The Mulleted Bull Gators would have fixed that shit right up for him.
I have no idea whether they are the victim or not. You will have ask the guy who posted them on Warchant
“I have no idea whether they are the victim or not. You will have ask the guy who posted them on Warchant”
But you are more than happy to post them here, not knowing.
I think that pretty much sums up your analysis of the entire situation.
Thanks for your uninformed input.
Thanks for ignoring all of the relevant data in comment 16. I hope Florida gets the SMU death penalty
What relevent data?
Shall I print out a list of the UT or AU transgressions?
Would you call for the death penalty for them?
You, my friend, are a hater. A jealous, envious little man. A man wrought in hypcritical logic and horrible sentiment for those that are successful.
Karma is a bitch. Your team will never win championships with evil little rooters spending more time wishing bad upon others than cheering their own.
Yee-haw.
Wow Jai, a gator accusing someone of being duplicious. Billy the Kid thought everybody around him was a punk also they say. GatorGod, or you green? You sound like a disciple of the Ramtha school of enlightenment!
Stephen Garcia was just confused when he sprinkled the car, keyed it and ran. He though Spurrier’s offense was the scratch and run and not the fun and gun. Spur will coach him up though! It is kind of like hogtown where the boys think the spread offense is when the Gainesville PD kicks their heels apart.
Covering this up will cost you in the Fulmer Cup rankings though. You were in striking distance, a pity.
“duplicious”
That isn’t a word.
Maybe you mean duplicitious?
If you did, it isn’t applicable to this discussion.
Don’t try to use big words if haven’t the knowledge of their meaning.
Thanks in advance, semi-hole.
Shall I print out a list of the UT or AU transgressions? Please print them. Alternatively, you could post them here so we all can see.
I highly recommend that you also list the resultant punishments per offense from the AU and UT coaches on this list. I suspect that the scales of discipline will be weighted in favor of the UT/AU.
Seminole: Scratch and run is gold
“Please print them. Alternatively, you could post them here so we all can see.”
Giggles galore! Jolley good humor!
“Scratch and run is gold”
And, not only gold, but a brutal and timely jab at the Gators, right? Right?!?
Yes, AU and UT are well known for doling out harsh punishment for infractions. Bobby Bowden, Jr ran the TIGHTEST of ships. The tightest. Integrity was his middle name.
Seriously. Check his birth certificate.
I think it was Pat Dye’s middle name, too.
It wasn’t Johnny Majors’, but he did name his first born son that.
Since you were being a comma fairy a few minutes ago it is only fair that you should know that you misspelled jolly.
“Since you were being a comma fairy a few minutes ago it is only fair that you should know that you misspelled jolly.”
I used the English spelling.
Shall I take this to mean that you are disengaging?
Don’t blame you.
You’ve been thoroughly overmatched.
Oh hell, that made me look back through your rants. Find the misspelled word in this sentence:
A man wrought in hypcritical logic and horrible sentiment for those that are successful.
Disengaging? I just got started. I am still waiting on that printed list that you promised.
Yes, I can see you are just getting started.
You no longer are even dabbling in the topic at hand and have shifted to a spelling bee.
I won’t bother going through your hillbilly rantings and pseudo-bloggings to point out your infinite errors in spelling, grammar and style.
Although, I do understand your anger. You live vicariously through your team. Hoping to somehow connect yourself to any success they might have. Being that you don’t enjoy much in life on your own. And watching the Gators attain the highest level of achievement in Intercollegiate sports history is something that you take quite personally. It makes your team irrelevent. And by connection, it lowers your already pitiful self-esteem.
I urge you. Look at yourself in a mirror. Tell yourself “I am somebody. I like me. I’m swell.”
Feel better about yourself?
This is like dealing with a six year old:
GatorGod – April 25, 2007[Edit]
“duplicious”
That isn’t a word.

Thanks in advance, semi-hole.
“This is like dealing with a six year old:”
Agreed. Your escalating the spelling bee COULD NOT be more juvenile.
Now you are just being obstinate and bullheaded. If you do not have the list of Auburn and Tennessee transgressions, with the documented punishments, then just go away.
“duplicitous” We can correct that for you. Is that better? It would seem to me you are the one who wishes go 180 and turn things into a spelling bee. That is much more comforting than talking about ass beatings, keg throwing, machine guns, coverups and throat slashing though, is it not?
Looking back over your literary skills convinces me you are not exactly an English major yourself.
It is about time somebody shined the lights on you people. You seem to think you have become the single greatest story in “intercollegiate sports history.”
Please don’t refer to people as a hillbilly. We have all been to Gunsville. Go over to the Cafe Risque and have a cool one.
Gators celebrate victory in the swamp:

“just go away”
My, aren’t you an angry little rabble rouser. Can’t take the heat?
You’re just Gator bait, my friend.
“Looking back over your literary skills convinces me you are not exactly an English major yourself.”
You must be omniscient, to be able to see my skills.
Cafe Risque is not in Gainesville.
“We cannot all be heroes as some of us must sit on the curb and clap as they go by………Mark Twain”
Isn’t that what Coach Senile told the fresh class of Semi-hole recruits?
Such sour grapes! “it’s about time somebody shined the light…” HAHAHA. But it’s was all good when you were winning 11 games every year up there in South Alabama. While your players ran rampant and cashed all sorts of checks. LOL.
It’s our turn now.
Enjoy the show.
And the minor bowls.
Every Player mentioned in that article was either kicked off the team or suspended for “meaningful” games .
That is pathetic that is all you the smack you can muster. SMU Death Penalty won’t be Gator Bait. When noted Gator Homer Mike Bianchi makes fun of the lack of discipline and enforcement, there is a serious problem. here is the words and the link:
http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/columnists/orl-bianchi1407apr14,0,768304.column
. First things first: Did you see where Florida is doing a $28 million expansion of its football stadium? Not sure what exactly the project entails, but with another UF football player (guard Ronnie Wilson) being arrested with a semi-automatic weapon last week, I’m thinking one of the renovations should be adding a metal detector to the tunnel leading onto the field. Geez, it’s no wonder Ohio State quarterback Troy Smith went down so fast during the national-championship game: UF’s defensive ends probably were packing AK-47s that night. Of course, I feel confident UF Coach Urban Meyer will slap a stringent penalty on Wilson. I’m thinking Meyer might suspend him for the entire first quarter of today’s spring game. . . .
HAHAHA. But it’s was all good when you were winning 11 games every year up there in South Alabama. While your players ran rampant and cashed all sorts of checks. LOL.
“But it’s was all good”.
I must be omniscient as I knew you were not an English major. You see we can all play spelling bee!
He who fights with monsters should take care that he himself does not become a monster. When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you……Freidrich Nietzsche
Gator put that stovepipe hat back on!
“Every Player mentioned in that article was either kicked off the team or suspended for “meaningful” games ”
Yes, yes they were.
It’s not to late for you to buy a UF sunvisor or t-shirt.
You are welcome on the bandwagon.
“I must be omniscient as I knew you were not an English major. You see we can all play spelling bee!”
And we can play grammar bee, too. Try putting a comma between omniscient and as.
Wee.
You are even more boring than FSU’s offense. Is this all you have?
It’s funny. Your dearth of intellect is overwhelming. You are stuck on the spelling thing…but if you go back, the main point was that you used the word incorrectly.
Love the quotes tho. Much preferred to the feeble utterings that originate out of your underdeveloped thought generator.
Gatorgod-
You worship at a false altar. An eternity in purgatory awaits.
I don’t sour from sour grape syndrome. Uf has beaten us 8 times in the last 19 tries. What is there to be sour about? We have been slapping you beside the head for a long itme.
You seem to live in some kind of Don Quixote world where you have escaped a painful reality. The best is yet to come!
You are going back to the whipping post gator! Put that stovepipe hat back on.
Reality? Tell me about the past few years. Not your wobegone years of glory.
The Gator reality is painfree. The FSU reality is another .500 season.
The only Don Quixote I know patrols your sidelines. An adled old man, searching for a victory formula that he has long forgotten.
Yes, FSU dominated for a long time.
The tide has turned. That is reality, my friend. That is reality.
I am afraid there are several tides that are about to turn on you. One of them is Crimson another is Garnet!
You win a couple of games, the last by seven I might add, and all of a sudden you are Knute Rockne and the four horseman.
I am afraid Bobby has grown old running gator coaches out of Gainesville and this last one will be no exception, weed truck and all. I understand his dream job is Ohio State. Any word on that lately? This old coach you speak of is the winningest coach in “collegiate sports history!” Many of them against the Florida university located in Gainesville, Florida. He has won 366 games and counting. He was rolling up the numbers “perhaps I should not use that term with a gator” when Herban’s pampers were yellow.
Don’t worry about the formula as we are bringing it to mullet country in November. We will actually have an offense this time.
Rick Trickett: I am looking for some guys who will hit people in the mouth!

He will be back. I am sure he is busy thumbing through his thesaurus!
Whenever raunch and decay are on the march, a gator can be found not far behind. (carrion eaters)
Semi-hole-
You spoke of Don Quixote. And reality.
All you deal in speculative desire. Hopes. Dreams. Prayers.
Your program is in tatters. Your recruiting is not what it once was. Your hope is based in distant memories. Not recent realities.
Squawk all you want. Posture all you will.
It’s all empty.
Especially when your last good year was 6 past.
It’s getting old, isn’t it? Hearing the Semi-holes up on the panhandle saying every spring…”this is the year we go back to being FSU”…then you fall flat on your faces.
It’s ashame. One would think these last several lean years would have taught you some humility.
Good luck in that rugid ACC.
Hopefully you don’t fall below Duke this year.
Well, I do have to admit. We haven’t done much since the turn of the century. You are right about that.
GatorGod, you imbecile get off this thread, can you not see this has not exactly been a PR coup for uf? Don’t you know when it is time to go back into the closet? What’s wrong with you man? Next they will want to discuss the mysteryman and neck slashing.
When they start using your signature, you know they are done!
Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat………..Mark Twain
Such angry little men!
Semi-hole, I love your little quotations.
Shame the only thing that comes from your origin is blind faith in the dead program.
Much like that Jai guy….you, too, have become Gator Bait.
Crushed by a power you can’t comprehend.
Rainman-
Stay to the side.
You don’t belong in this conversation.
You’ve been warned.
I am not angry and I am not little. I am in fact grinning from ear to ear! The only place I can ever find any gator with money however. It usually only takes a hundred dollar bill to send them fleeing, at least the ones I know. They talk but never place a wager on the games.
November for you is going to be culmination of heartache. Who were those men in garnet masks?
There is no darkness like ignorance……………Egyptian proverb
Gator God
what is the plan of action against rainman? Are you going to show him the printout of Auburn and Tennessee violations?
I will warn you, do not go troll here. I can put up with the smack talk, in fact it is good for the site. Don’t cross the line.
“I will warn you, do not go troll here. I can put up with the smack talk, in fact it is good for the site. Don’t cross the line.”
Ummm….my initial comment was aimed at the original post mocking UF hiring a DOF…YOU guys are the ones that piled on and did the trolling…dragging me into your juvenile antics.
I should be above falling for such things.
I do apologize for that. Sometimes it’s easy to let the idiots drag you down.
You got me on this one.
By the way don’t worry about the ACC. We have always known our niche. We need the Florida University located in Gainesville to win the SEC and then we take it from you as ACC and SEC champions and award you the Alachua County Championship. Spur dog was a dream come true. He could be SEC champion but fold to the Noles and show the true class in college football. We are getting back to that now.
It is not just UF vs FSU now days, the Florida vs University of South Carolina game is a big because either Spurrier or UF has to lose! It is a can’t miss situation sports fans, be there.
I wonder if Spur dog will accuse them of twisting their little legs or hitting the quarterback late? It does not matter if the referees don’t see it, spur does! He played at UF and always got prissy if he was tackled according to Stanfill (Georgia great). He thought his dress was not supposed to get dirty! Whatever would you expect from lifelong crier, sissy and whiner?
Remember everytime you flush the toilet, you give a gator a shower!
“Remember everytime you flush the toilet, you give a gator a shower!”
Troll.
You will be fine Gator God
I love this blog!!!
“Troll” I am just enjoying my favorite cuisine, “gator steaks!”
It’s great to be a Florida State Seminole!
Still unconquered, and never signed a peace treaty!
“I am just enjoying my favorite cuisine, “gator steaks!””
No wonder you look so hungry.
Been a long time since you had a meal.
It is great to be an FSU Seminole…if your idea of great is an athletic program based in mediocrity…and an education that the rest of the country laughs at…well, then hell yea, you have the world by the balls.
Seminole: Scratch and run is gold
Jai, it is good to see a man who recognizes talent and deep contemplation. I did not take that off anyone’s website. It is original!
When looking for the cause of your problems it is best to look first in the mirror…………..The Buddha
” I did not take that off anyone’s website. It is original!”
And you want to claim it? eeeshhhh….
I don’t think the rest of the country is laughing at FSU. I think they are laughing at you. Hell I am laughing at you! Give us something to go on besides a last dying whimper!
Sacred cows make the best hamburger………..Mark Twain
Ummm…yeah. You’re right. The rest of the country is most impressed with FSU steller academic reputation. And even more impressed by the prospects the pending football season holds.
Pundits and casual fans alike can’t stop their excited rumblings about what is going on in the Panhandle, expectations are incredibly high for FSU this season. It’s like the 1990′s all over again.
But different.
I think your finger has finally found the button, but it is not expectations. It is really realizing what is happening with the incredible energy now shaping in Tallyho. The recruits even are seeing the light. You are now seeing the best coaching staff in the nation take place again. It must be a familiar sight to you. You have been there before.
We are once again preparing to use your little gator heads as a plough. It is going to be fun!
Better to bear the wisdom of the wise than to hear the song of fools….Ecclesiates 17:19
I’ll agree with you on one thing….
Every year for the past 6, you guys have bought into the “we are back” hype in the spring….and you talk smack and pretend to be what you once were…
And then by mid october…you are talking about the next spring.
It’s over up there.
Over.
The beauty of this is that all you can do is talk crap.
You have NOTHING over the past several years to back up your empty words.
Glory days, my friend, glory days.
Talk to me in Oct.
I will talk to you in November and now.
Lets talk about the eighties. It is called the dynasty. It was fourteen years of abuse for Florida. espn calls us the team of the 90′s in any sport. We went 12-4-1 against Florida. 5 wins in the swamp, no wins for Florida in Doak. There was a slight slip as we were 1-1 in bowl games against Florida. We will have to take the tie also since it was the greatest comeback in collegiate history.
Five wins in fourteen meetings. That is truly what I call hitting somebody in the mouth. It explains where all the pent up aggression comes from. It is from a very real inferiority complex engendered over many many years. The last three years were wins for Florida, but it is only three years. Like the clock, the pendulum always swings back the other way. In this case it is going to defy gravity and swing back very quickly.
Lets take the case of Jimbo Fisher, rated the number two offensive coordinator in the nation. His only critics at LSU wanted to throw deep all the time Hal Mumme style, pick up big numbers. They wanted a Hawaii, BYU type show, but where did this get these schools?
No the Fisher offense will nickle and dime you to death at first. It will establish the run, throw a few screens , slants and bubble passes. It will stay on the field and tire the defense, giving your defense a chance to talk to coaches and adjust, not a three and out. When points are put on the board and the opposing defense begins to tire, then comes long curl and deep routes. It has proven to be a most successful concept and is used in the pros and is great for getting the attention of recruits who are told this is what you will need for the next level anyway.
The key to Fisher’s offense will be to establish the run first. In this regard, he will have a weapon he has never enjoyed in a long time. He will have the number one offensive line coach in America, one Rick Trickett, a man who says people are not going to like to see us come into town, A man who says he is looking for people who will hit you in the mouth.
Pundits everywhere are now muttering, what will FSU, a team that has been winning on raw talent, now do with a coaching staff who are known to get the best out their talent? I believe if a man stops and ponders this, the answer is not very hard to come by.
Many teams are going to experience “the whipping post” once again
Like it or not for some. College football will once again fear the spear.
About that tie.
The year was 1994, the Seminoles were down by 28 points with eleven minutes to play in the game. Danny Kannell goes into the shotgun! The rest is history as the Seminoles score a 31 to 31 tie for the greatest comeback in collegiate football history at this time.
How do you choke a gator? Give them a 28 point spot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gator retort: It is interesting that your finest hour was a tie..Yada yada!
Gator retort: It is not the greatest comeback. yada yada. Yes it has since been barely eclipsed, three cheers for you!!!!!!
Look, I keep trying to get this across. I got the keg back. I went to shands and had the nasty slash on my neck fixed. They cleaned the paint out of the knot on my head where it was bashed against the truck. Lets just stop talking about this. I am now on full scholarship thanks to the rainman. We are all gators, forget about it, alright!
Gooooooooo Gatorssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What you are saying about Rainey and the Pounceys, that is a lie to!
Mr. Starr, teach me a life skill!!!!!!!!! har har
“Lets talk about the eighties”
Since it’s 2007…that seems VERY appropriate.
“No the Fisher offense will nickle and dime you to death at first.”
That offense was also manned by the highest level of talent in the country. FSU doesn’t provide that….anymore.
“College football will once again fear the spear.”
In case you haven’t noticed….no one cares. The ACC teams would rather beat WF, VT, BC or Clemson. FSU no longer strikes fear in their hearts.
Anyway…hard to believe a guy named Seminoleuprising is drinking the scarlet kool aid…you guys have been saying “this is the year” for the past six years.
Seriously, if I was a fan of a team that was once the best program in the land, but has done NOTHING in the new century…I’d shut up…at least until my team actually did something.
“How do you choke a gator?”
Since you value the past soooooo much….how bout this…
all time UF-FSU record….30-19-2…..end of discussion.
You live in the past. The past says UF is ahead in the series.
Next!
I live in the now and we are coming to Bowden Field on 11-24 and put a lot smack to rest. You know what is about to happen gator. I see the jibbering a of victim who knows he has little time left to flap his jaws. You need to talk now because you are soon going back into the closet and you know it! Deep down you know it!
College football will again fear the spear!
We do not consider it 30-19. Every fair minded person knows FSU was cheated with the Lane Fenner catch and Rhett Dawson catch in the endzone by SEC referees. There is no debate here. It is 29-21 by all who have their wits about them. We will consider and eight game spread as fair minded people. We will not concede to obvious criminality however. Fenner was a good six feet inside the bounds with the winning catch. It was the greatest criminal call in collegiate history. You had a lot of money being passed to state officials during that period. They have since decided to not make it look so obvious so they just turn a blind eye to Rainey payoffs and other criminal undertakings. That is fine, we will take the recruits who want to be Seminoles from deep in their core and cannot be bought off.
We want the warrior who inside himself can scream out “unconquered”. The man who will never bow down.
“We do not consider it 30-19″
Not only do you live in the past…but you are a revisionist historian. Sad. Your irrational confidence in your team this year is sad, too.
GatorGod-
You are right about one thing for sure. In the ACC, a win over FSU sure ain’t what it used to be.
Seems expanding the conference hurt them more than anyone.
“and cannot be bought off”
Good one!
Peter Warrick….et al….refuse to be bought.
Deion Saunders was a millionaire before he was even drafted.
Please.
Revisionist historian? Quite an earthquake shift. Why do I get the feeling that term is anathema to you?
In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning.
George Orwell
Two and two make five O’Brien, it is not easy to become sane!
Bob LaCitvita “Former gator recruitment coordinator,” would have indoctrinated them with more PR savvy, but heck we recruited him too. Neanderthals running wild. Gator we own you!
“Revisionist historian? Quite an earthquake shift. Why do I get the feeling that term is anathema to you?”
Probably because you don’t know what it means….
“Gator we own you!”
You mean “owned”. It’s 2007. The ’90′s mean nothing.
Ask Wake Forrest. Ask NC State. Ask Clemson. Ask BC. Ask Maryland. Heck even ask UNC, they beat a few years ago.
LOL. You are a mid-ACC program now. All the hyperbole and high expectations haven’t helped you for the past 6 years on the field.
I love hearing you guys spout off in the spring, and then make excuses all fall.
“Gator we own you”….but we can’t beat middle of the road ACC teams…HAHAHAHA….
Enjoy!
Ahhh, Florida, the nouveau riche of college football. Yeah, you guys have moved into the most effluent subdivision in town and built a grand homestead. But you don’t let anyone come inside because there isn’t any furniture to speak of. While the Old Money sit around and laugh and place wagers on how many months before the foreclosure sign goes up in your front yard.

“While the Old Money sit around and laugh and place wagers on how many months before the foreclosure sign goes up in your front yard.”
The old money? You mean those guys at Capstone that haven’t been worth a shit in a decade? That old money?
The house in G’ville may be “new”…but at least the foundation isn’t rotten. And ya’ll just spent $32M on a contractor that has a history of never finishing the job.
I’m sure things will turn out peachey for you.
Never finishing the job? 2 SEC titles and a MNC while at LSU plus he left it in such a shape that even Les Miles hasn’t been able to screw it up….yet.
Flurda’s foundation may not be rotten, but it’s definitely leaking. Think about it, your best offensive player this year will be a kid that got banned from participating in any Virginia high school athletic event. The worst part is that you people still look at Herban as a strict disciplinarian. Whistling past the graveyard.
Listen, just admit that you don’t care that your team is full of thugs as long as they win. I’ll at least commend you for being honest.

Did it bother ‘Bama fans when you guys had success, that your program was breaking rules left and right?
Did it bother FSU fans when they were good, that their players lived in a cell block instead of a dormitory?
Why should it bother us?
I admit it. We have sunk to YOUR level.
Myron Rolle is going to study in London next year. The only class he ever made less than an A in was organic chemistry.
Where are Ronnie “blast that cap” Wilson, Dusty Doe, Dee and Bubba, Demps, and the “mystery man” going to study? The University of the Island of Tierra Del Fuego? If the fail here they can go to the University of Railford in Starke, Florida. For those not in the know it is a prison outside Gainesville, conveniently located so gatrs can still wear the orange and blue, but in stripes only!!!!!
For first time users Tierra Del Fuego is an island in south atlantic and it means island of fire. Ronnie, Dusty, Dee, Bubba and rest of them know about fire and lightning up the night with a few caps!
In that above article I meant to say Jump suits only instead of stripes only but I was laughing too hard!
Go Gators!
“Why should it bother us?”
That’s what I thought.
“That’s what I thought.”
Hey, like I said, it has never bothered ‘Bama fans.
You guys bitched and moaned about the scholarships being taken away. But the reasons they were taken was never something you cared about…until you got nailed by the NCAA.
We never said that Gator fans were different or better than Bammers…we only say that right now, we got the better program.
“Myron Rolle is going to study in London next year. The only class he ever made less than an A in was organic chemistry.”
Awesome!
FSU is a top flight university. I think ranked 98 among public univerisities, which is just fabulous!
And having one guy take a few classes in London certainly makes an argument that the football team is an academic stalwart.
Did you know that ANY student can study abroad? LOL.
I think that tim tebow’s 890 SAT score might make him the exception of ANY student can study abroad? LOL.BWAAAHAHAHHAHA
Or Leak’s wonderlic score might stop him too BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHH
Actually, the only thing that stops a student from a semester abroad, is being able to pay.
And we KNOW FSU players never have an issue coming up with cash…bwhahahahhahah….bwhaahahahaha…bwhahahahahahaha..bwhahahahahahahaahh
These school ratings you speak of have been well documented as very subjective. I believe Newsweek and the Yale review have done one lately if I remember right.
It is unfortunate that you base your own and your school’s self esteem on what people at Newsweek and Yale think about you. Frankly at Florida State, we do not give a rat’s behind what they think about us. We call number one!
Florida statistics concerning scientific achievement are rather sparse to say the least. Try wikipedia, I don’t want to drag you in too far over your head.
On the other hand UF has long been engaged in the medical field. I cannot help but wonder if this is why studies show the death rate goes down when physicians go on strike.
So woo hoo, FSU does not meet the expectations of Yale! They don’t stack up too well in my last survey either. Do you run around screaming Yale says UF is number 68? By the way who was number one in this survey, Yale?
“The University of Florida announced today that they have filled a hole in the football staff, director of football operations.” Quote
I must add no one man can fill this job. I would suggest a duo of Michael Irving and Brian Bosworth. Possibly Lamar Smith would be good to handle media exposure and basic skills in defending one’s own house. At the sound of bones cracking against thrown helmets, you get on that elevator and join the melee.
It would not be a bad idea either to keep a good airboat mechanic and swamp veteran on hand for that fast getaway into the moss covered cypress swamp.
Keep the kegs wet and cold and the powder dry!
Troy Starr be da man for the DFO-[Director Of Football Operations]- Florida Gator Job.He be done trained with Mujibar in self defense and he be a big scrong dude.Gator players be liking coach Starr.
One mo thing.Senator Ed Kennedy crafted the “no child left behind act” and now coach Troy Starr drafts a new Gator Act.”No Gator left behind”.All Gator footballers that be staying with the Florida football program fo 4 years be graduating with degree.Yup Gator players be able put they diploma on wall of they house where they be staying.
