    Anyone hear anything else about McClain?

    I'm not sure why people are so quick to trash him ... he is just a kid after all. I am wondering if there is something else going on with him, and perhaps he just didn't get good guidance in high school. The article I mentioned previously seems to indicate he just never had good direction in his...

    Anyone hear anything else about McClain?

    I just read this article on McClain. I hope he can get into the right situation and get good support.

    This would hurt

    All the "rules" have changed and everything in college football now is meaningless ... commitments are meaningless, letters of intent are meaningless, etc. If you look at On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine page for Stubbs, it now has Florida at 92.5%. Where he ends up playing next year, no one...

    Our fans are pissed at Umanmeilen, Leonard and Etienne

    Recall one of the things Nick Saban said when he retired: If this is happening at Alabama, then you can bet this is pretty much happening at other schools. Etienne admitted he wasn't going to be given the starting job. I am guessing that Unanmielen was probably also not guaranteed playing time...

    This is why I was talking about our reporters

    I often listen to Pat Dooley's Another Dooley Noted Podcast, which you can find on youtube. Robbie Andreu joins him often as does Steve Spurrier - usually once per week. Has lots of interesting guests.

    More radio dunking on coach Napier

    It's amusing to me how many people seem to be in competition to bash Napier and the program. He deserves some criticism, but I still maintain we don't know much about him and his ability to bring the football program back to elite status. I think it will really take maybe another five years to...

    Listen to how far behind we were

    Thank you for the link to this interview, it was very revealing. I have in the past wrote about this in reply to Napier critics. Florida was not only behind other SEC rivals in athletic facilities, but also in student housing. Napier critics are ignoring these realities and how far the image of...

    Is the ACC doomed...

    You are correct, and you make some good points. But left out of all of these lawsuits and discussions is player input. Suppose the players unionize, and start collective bargaining? One of their bargaining positions could be limiting distance traveled for conference games. They could very well...

    Spurrier thinks there's too many coaches

    Yeah, I've heard him a number of times criticize the nutrition program at Florida saying he was the nutritionist for his team when he coached. He would simply go around and look at everyone's plate and tell them to put something green on it.

    Collectives worry about donor fatigue

    Yes, I never did see how this was sustainable. You aren't getting anything in return for your money, and even if you imagine you are "buying" a player, there's no guarantee he stays. This is a pure example of throwing money away.

    Wow - a must read on the state of college football

    Jeff Hafley left Boston College for the DC position in Green Bay. He notes how right after he was hired, COVID hit, then the transfer portal change, then NIL.

    I wish we could have got Kelly

    Yes, this is a brilliant strategy. Cycle through coaches every two years, and pay off their $50,000,000+ buyout. You point out NIL, which boosters pay into. I wonder how much NIL money will accumulate after paying out all the buyout money you propose? Let's see what kind of coaches you can...

    I wish we could have got Kelly

    I'm not a prophet, so I don't know when to expect it, or if we can even expect Napier or anyone else to bring UF up to the level where LSU is at the moment. I am neither for or against Napier, because I think we simply do not have enough information of whether he can bring the program up to a...

    Etienne didn't want to be RB2 on a losing team

    OK, let me get this straight ... He says he couldn't be the best running back on a losing team, yet he thinks he will be better than the other running backs on a winning team? And he wants to be on a team playing in December? This kind of explains a lot of this guy, who didn't want to put his...

    I wish we could have got Kelly

    I agree with what you are implying here, which I interpret to mean that Kelly has experienced previous success and has accomplished much more than Napier at the Division I level. And I agree that the book on Napier is yet to be written, although he did experience success at Louisiana. What is...
