    Rings.

    Cool than there is 1 great team each year...cool story. Is that earned rings or Mythical ones that are won by varies votes from press members?

  • I can see most of you just want to argue by not being able to provide any substantial information to validate your statements. Therefore, I am going to withdraw from the conversation to eliminate any escalation of tempers and flaming.

    Good luck this year.

    And where did those teams SoS end up? So it is more important to play away than to play better teams? Not sure that equates my man. Clemson, Happy valley, Morgantown, are you kidding!

    Lol and then what happened when your big bad SEC defense left the state of Florida for a far away game in New Orleans....oh yeah you got smoked by a Big East team

    I guess that's why you guys don't travel much

    I mean this is called inside the U. What did you expect to come over here and have the gators praised? Sure that will happen right after hell freezes over. Yes one great team because in the face of adversity they get it done and grind it out when it counts.

  • UF is a despicable football program from the Gator Flop to a long history of unsportsmanlike behavior. It has a wandering monolithic ugly campus devoid of character with a local DA who covers for the numerous felons that have populated the football team in the last 5 years. Its Med school is second rate compared to the U and its undergrad program is underfunded with large class sizes and a slumping academic rating. That does not stop it from bestowing inflated salaries to its football coaches at the expense of its own students. It hasnt played OOC out of state since 1991.Thats the most cowardly football program in the country bar none.When you guarantee 4 home wins by paying off patsies a year thats fraud. They are a great example of why college football is a racket where money buys a good record and the behavior of athletes (50 UF arrests in 5 years.) is secondary to success on the field.

  • i dont really see why it matters if they consistently play 1 of the hardest schedules in the country

    being in the sec and having teams like LSU, UGA, & FSU on the schedule every yr make it a good schedule even if you fill the open slots with cup cakes especially when those teams are all good like they are right now

    1.) Doesnt excuse Florida's cowardice OOC There is no excuse.

    2.) As for the SEC there is a big dropoff after LSU Alabama and UF .UF rarely plays Bama during the regular season but ALWAYS plays Kentucky Tennessee and Vandy and Never Plays GA truly away.

    3.) SO they have 7 home games one 2/3 home game in JVille. Its a joke.

    1.) You guys play Savannah State in 2013. You planned it. It was not a last minute switch like what FSU had to do. That is a hypocritical statement.

    2.) Kentucky, Vandy, and UT are in the SEC East, therefor we HAVE to play them every year. We rotate teams from the SEC West but we fought to keep LSU a permanent opponent. scared, huh? You guys should know about conference divisional opponents. Are you new to college football? UGA always has the easiest SEC schedule and Bama had a cakewalk this year also.

    3.) Ever been to Jacksonville? There is as many, if not more, UGA fans up there as there is UF fans.

  • This is all about home games, which drive revenue. Some of you have examples of other SEC schools that travel to other states, Bama, LSU, Auburn. Name me one school in any of his states that have a instate school remotely to th level of an FSU that any of those schools play?

    The point is UF is not going to play FSU every year and also lose a home game so they can travel out of state to play a game and lose all that money when they all ready play one of the hardest schedules every year.

    Just Saying

  • All I'm trying to say is Florida should schedule a home and away with someone exciting, like Oregon, Stanford, Texas, TCU, etc. As a college football fan, I would like to see any of those match ups. Its been 23 years and counting...

    CaneDynasty

  • IT"S A MONEY ISSUE. Did you not read Bitter's post? Unless we get rid of FSU, we will not schedule another home and home. Boosters will not take fewer than 7 home games, and doing so would drop us. Plus, we would lose revenue for the game we dropped, which is 90,000 times at least the minimum of $50. So no, it is not about us being scared. Our football team and athletics in general raises so much money we give it back to our University and schools, so the sabrose guy that posted is full of sh*t and has no clue what he is talking about. It's about money, not who wants to play and who others think we should play.

    Who replaces gillislee, bostic, elam, easley, n Floyd?

    CentralRockets

  • Jones, Taylor, Maye, Riggs, RoPo, Fowler, Morrison. We've got some options but replacing Elam and Floyd won't be easy. Oh and Easley doesn't need replacing, he's coming back biggrin

    UF played the toughest regular season schedule in college football. How is that a joke and how in good god to you improve upon that? Really guy, look at what your saying. NO other school can say a word, especially an ACC school. You will not ever play a schedule even close to that period therefore you have no room for judgement.

    Again, UF plays LSU, USCe, UGA, and FSU every single year. Until Miami plays those level of teams in 1 year not 4 then you don't have a justified complaint.

    BTW Miami has 7 home games this year and a 8th and 9th game in FL. All but 2 of them against unranked teams who will fight just for bowl eligibility. Is that a joke as well?

    must be your first year as a gator fan..

    only a matter of time before you remove FSU from your schedule too,. clap

    Don't get me wrong Duke was someone I wanted at Florida BAD, but he rushed for 947 yards against the ACC, THE ACC! Meanwhile Florida was I think 2 in the country against the run. I think they will be fine.
