"but the kids that used to make up the bottom half of their recruiting classes are now going to the other four Florida schools." I think more are going to the NCSUs, Louisvilles, and Clemsons of the world, not FAU and FIU.

I'd have UF at 7 or 8. Seems like every team has questions this year, except for USC.

A company called Smack makes those shirts, not the school. Some of their shirts are funny, but most are stupid. The Crocs shirt they had was funny, this Urbanators one sucks. They had one saying Ron Zook for Frathouse President. Hilarious.

Congrats on the sweep.

Congrats on the win, UF is falling apart down the stretch.

Yep.

I see FSU's point but they are worth having just for the halftime show.

Dawg, good post. Back in the 60s/70... UF playing at UM helped to build that program... FSU as well, although it took some legislation to get UF to actually play FSU in Tally. Auburn went through the same thing with UGA and Alabama. Neither school would stoop to the level of actually playing Auburn in Auburn. UGA would play them in Columbus (until the 70s I think) and Bama would only play them in Birmingham until 1989. All the wins that Dye had, he is most remembered for getting Bama to come to Auburn.

It's all relative. The 60s were the first time that UF was on TV consistently. Spurrier won the Heisman. Graves had winning seasons almost every year. Bowl games were almost every year, back when it was actually a big deal to get to one. It was the winningest decade before the 90s under spurrier. UF was always one game away during that time period. Mississippi and Alabama were the class of the conference. Coach Vaught won Ole Miss 2 National Titles, 1960 and 1962 (another on in '59). Bama won it all in 1961, 1964 and 1965. UGA ruined UF's season in 1966. Basically it was golden because UF was doing things it had never done before on a national level. Kind of like if USF wins bowl games the next 3 years and then if they fall on their butt... you'll call those 3 years a golden era... because it's all relative to previous successes/disappointments.

He started out well this year but slumped last week.

I think 10-3 or 11-2. The defense is going to be much, much improved.

A dollar if you actually know why they were there... A. Brad Wilkerson.

All of this is now null and void as they've added the 12th game.  ;D Dawg, I am as big of a Gator fan as you will ever find, and I can tell you that I do not consider UF in the category of "Historically Elite".  Have they been good in cycles, yes.  60s were a golden time for UF athletics... Doug Dickey coached in the 70s so that era was a waste of talent and the 80s were a combination of both.  The 90s were the glory years. College football is cyclical.  Look at college football right now, many of the historically elite teams are not very good.  UNL, ND, Penn State and Alabama.  OU would be on my HE list... but before Stoops they had a down time of 7 years or so with Gary Gibbs and Schnelly coaching there.  Michigan was going 7-4 for a few years before 1997. USC was AWFUL for a bunch of years before Caroll. I think the Dawg in your name is for Cleveland, but if it is for UGA, where do you put them in the historically elite?  They have 1 national championship.

Believe me, if UF could add Texas and PSU for OOC every year, I'd be thrilled. But it isn't happening. There isn't a school on the planet that doesn't play one or two out of conference patsies a year.

I guess I need to register, it won't let me edit. I believe the latest Jax contract was written so that Jax paid 250K apiece to the schools (again eventually divided by 12) over and above an average of the top 5 home concession weekends or something like that.
