It's understandable not to use Pierce a bunch during Trask's senior season when ourbairbattack was stunningly accurate. Last year with Jones not being able to throw and defenses keyed on him running made nonsense. He got great yardage everytime he touched the ball. Well, at least his body did not take a beating in college and he should have a long NFL career as a result.

How do you get "all Gators were miffed about it" when there is one Gator and a couple Dawg fans posting? I am not miffed... its reality that we had poor recruiting. Is what it is... and now we have a guy turning that ship around. Mullen was your Ray Goff! Except we actually got a couple good seasons out of it...

I wonder when the Georgia moron will show up to comment. Surprised I am first to post. Where ol where could the moron be?

How strong is OSU really outside of the weak Big Ten schedule? Same for Clemson now?

Alabama has been a recruiting powerhouse for a decade... I don't recall Saban ever being worried about fair play or making sure all schools are on the same level playing field. Don't get me wrong, I don't think anything illicit ever happened with Alabama recruiting, I just find it Saban whinning and crying sour grapes by being beaten in the game of recruiting after all the advantages Alabama has had over the years.

Most OL are 3 star recruits as it is hard to project them. Most won't start for a couple years due to development needs. Its the same as recruiting a 3 star rb or wr.

Meh... He will be back with the team in a few hours. Kirby doesn't discipline.

So what... He wasn't even the best kicker in the spring game and we have a better one coming in during summer session. Stop making article titles sound like major news.

And? People trademark everything nowadays... It can be said and said and said... But when it become associated with a business, politician, sports team, celebrity, etc they trademark it so others cannot make money from it with licensing. In this case, they don't want shirts sold online with the saying to Gator fans that are not licensed. Hardly anything new in the world of marketing.

Good to see a Dawg with good sense, thanks. That dude takes the fun out of banter with other schools... Or more specifically he is nothing more than a troll and it is nice to have actual meaningful conversations about football with people from other schools to get other perspectives.

You can't claim to be not trolling and then use "abysmal" to describe a transition class that had limited numbers, but high quality recruits. That is trolling.

Dooley is wrong as usual... We have hated Dooley for decades but he is still in Gainesville so his theory is wrong.

I will say I really don't care about basketball, but I was wondering how anyone could look at the underwhelming performance of White and consider his hire bold? I am glad he is gone, moreso just because I am tired about hearing about his bad coaching and results than anything, but it takes something special to hire him and think that is an upgrade. Almost like hiring Muschamp... You know he is a good guy, but you also know he will never take you far...

How many National Championships does Georgia have in Basketball or Football since 2000? UF has 5 total... Georgia has 1. Tell me again how Florida is mediocre?

Kinda funny how child like they are isn't it?

Agreed... Just for the heck of it though, at least Florida had a mini dynasty run... Still waiting for LSU to put two good years together back to back.

Funny how you see that... Perhaps it had more to do with 2006 seeing Florida CRUSH the "team of the century" Ohio State, and Alabama coming up, and the SEC winning a string on NCs. Only recruits out west want to play at USC.

Congrats on Wuerffel and Reidel in 1996? Wow... guess you should ignore Herschel and 1980 then as well.. So in the last 20 years, Gators have 2 NC's and the Puppies have 1. Gotta work on your attempted smack talk.

and just to add on to my above comment... do we think the likes of Condelezza Rice ACTUALLY follows college football? WHy the heck are politicians part of the selection committee and not all ex head coaches or conference commissioners?

Playoffs are boring... Lets be honest, in August we could have said the playoffs would be Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Ohio St. We almost would be guaranteed right now... Last year Ohio St got in with playing a minimum schedule vs other teams playing almost a full schedule. The playoff committee will select the same 4-6 teams for the four slots every year as long as they have not been blown out of the water in a game or had a total decline like Clemson this year. Close games, no problem. One loss, no problem as long as it was to a decent team. If your name is Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio St, or Clemson... you are invited, just look decent. Same to you Notre Dame! Etc etc.. We need expanded payoffs to build interest, and also add the chance that some team gets knock out early unexpectedly (injury, bad game plan, etc) More teams in the playoffs helps spread out recruits as well so it isnt Alabama just saying "come play for us, we get to the playoffs every year unlike Team X"

Haha, not here to troll... But maybe you can pull in your fan trolls on the Gator board? I like seeing a team led by a low rated QB beat a team led by a Heisman winning, NIL millionaire. I like that the SEC East has knocked off the SEC West as we, as a division, continue to rise back up. I don't like loosing the 1980`s joke. Sigh. However, we have one 3 NC's since 1996, so you still have to catch up! Hah. Anyways, congrats. Here's to a fun filled, hate spewing 2022 season. Go Gators... Go SEC East! (death to Dawgs!) :)

Well... On the one hand great for him to land a job... On the other hand, why would UCF want anyone related to the player personnel issues that were running a mock within the team that they just upset fairly easily? Seems you shod steal someone from a better organized staff!

I could agree with you if the coach left Florida as an assistant and became HBC at some directional school and convinced recruits to follow him. However, anyone with a shred of common sense can see that going from Louisiana to Florida is HUGE for that player. Opportunity to play for a huge SEC program, get a top 10 education, and experience the SEC football atmosphere. Only a moron would see a negative lining to this. The Louisiana coach, fans, etc should get how great it is for this young kid.

Umm UCFBS... The single most overrated conference is... The Big12... Especially the new Big12. Lol Anyways, enjoy the win... It was meaningless to us due to being the final game of a regime that was fired weeks ago. Hard to get the team fired up without HBC or Coordinators.. Or an OL coach.

They didn't play FSU or Miami so beating one team doesn't make them state Champs.. Let them feel good... If Florida is where Florida needs to be under Napier it won't matter. The best players still know playing in the SEC > Big 12. Not to mention... They beat a Gator team with no Head Coach, no Offensive Coordinator, and no Defensive Coordinator. So there is that... But hey, they won the game... We had our cha ces and had some bone headed calls from our fill in coaches.

Well good to see the Georgia children are up late tonight.

So a new coach showed up? That's what your team needs... A coach to go with that recruiter you have!

And how many NCs have you won in the last few DECADES? Maybe next year right?

Stetson Bennett WI s starting job over your beloved 5 star Qbs. So either your 5 star Qbs just suck or your coach does while evaluating who is best...

The kid chose where he wanted to play... But he will be in the transfer portal next year. When he sees his college days having the same crowd size as a high school vs watching games at Alabama and other big stadiums, he will get the itch to play in front of massive crowds.
