The U's in Florida

[Rizman]

Given the beginning of the long, hot, miserable Florida summer we are beginning, which of Florida's Universities: (from athletics perspective)

1. ...do you hate the most?

2. ....would want to see our programs mirror?

3. ...do you have the most respect for?

4. ...do you see as the next upcomer (limited to FAU, FIU, FGCU and UCF)

5. ....do you consider our closest peer institution?

6. ...do you find the most annoying?

7....do you think will never really get there?

1) UF because most fans of the Gators never went to school there and never will and they are so ridiculous

2) UF for success only

3) UF based on money flowing into the football program

4) FAU

5) FSU

6) UCF

7) UCF

OK cmon now. I know this is everyones opinion, but with this answer it seems like you contradict your answer to number 1. You have to truly hate us to think that we'll never really make it especially seeing as you have FAU and FIU to chose from.

I am interested to hear why you think this. Please, enlighten us.

1. UF - for their obnoxious arrogance

2. UM - They had that swagger back in the 80's to mid 90's.

3. FSU - Their program was putrid way back when, and they came strong when they were dominant for a while.

4. FGCU - Watch this school in the next few years; they're going to surprise a lot of people.

5. UCF - They're closest to us geographically.

6. UCF -  for their delusions of grandeur.

7. FIU - no support in Miami.

fgcu? please

[Apis Bull]

1.  I don't hate any of them.  I like UF and UCF the least which is ironic since I grew up a Gator fan.

2.  None, I want our own success on our own terms

3.  Historically, Miami.  As of late, UF.

4.  I don't know that any can do what we have done.  Technically, UCF is not a new up and comer.

5.  UCF, they are the most like us.

6.  UCF

7.  All of the ones you mentioned in question 4

They don't. The question was which one of the florida universities, from an athletics perspective, do you see as the next up and comer. FGCU.

So, you were stating more that you think FGCU will eventually field a football team and work itself into Div 1 before the other options gain significant ground?

Who knows, maybe. I just think their school has really progressed nicely, and so has their athletics program. I think they have the most upside, considering how young they are and their prime location.
