Wait so they’re adding guys they signed through the portal to their recruiting class totals from last year to give themselves an imaginary #8 class rank? So did we jump from 3 to 1 after picking up Ward and Martinez? They realize that all the teams that finished ahead of them in the real class rankings have also signed transfers from the portal too, right?

The need linemen that can play today not some kid that will compete for a starting guard spot two years from now long after Billy is fired.

I mean let them do whatever makes them feel better. Sometimes it's best to just give the baby a bottle because it will shut them up and give you some peace.
They will always try to justify whatever math they are using to show they are great. Whichever site has them ranked the highest will be the one that they recognize. Half of these recruiting classes for most of the teams will have transferred after 2 years anyway.
Those rankings are silly anyway. Once I saw Rueben Bain was not a 5 star, I was done with worrying about them. What more can a guy do to earn a 5th star?
Bottom line is we need to go into their dump of a stadium in week one and stomp them and shut their mouths. If we go in and lay an egg, we will never hear the end of it. I love Mario but I will never forgive him if we don't leave that game 1-0, even if we win the rest of the games and go to the playoff and win the title.
 
When does Mac realize...


"He's still proud of himself for the ******, borderline top 10 class he managed to slide in to a few months ago. Back to lazy bull**** with he and his staff.

Miami of all people. No amount of sunshine pumping can explain away why they're doing what they're doing and Mac continues to fiddle around like the goofy ole fart he is on the trail."

"I agree. Miami is loading up right now on recruits. You can't tell me that Miami's external factors are better than ours. We have nicer facilities, stadium, resources and etc. We now have coaches that most would agree are relatively good recruiters to assist Mac. So what is left to blame?-Mac. I know it's only March but it sure is starting out very similar to the past."

Maude Edit: The Ballad of Gator Tears (sung to the tune of Son McLean’s American Pie)
Written by @TheOriginalCane on 12/16/2023:

“A long, long time ago, I can still remember
How recruiting used to make Gators smile
And I knew if UM had a chance
That Mario could make recruits dance
And maybe they'd be flipping for a while

But June & July made me shiver
With every verbal they'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his G-Wagon ride
But something touched me deep inside
The day the Gator class died

So, bye, bye, class that's in the Top Five
Drove G-Wagons to Payne's Prairie, but The Prairie was dry
And them good old Gates were drinkin' whiskey 'n Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die"

Did 'cruits write the Collective?
And do they have faith in the NIL bid
If Hugh Hathcock tells them so?
Do they believe the Gator DFO?
Can Slingblade save their mortal soul?
And can Billy teach us how to 'cruit real slow?

Well, I know that they're in love with him
'Cause I saw them eating mac in the gym
They all slipped in their shoes
While taking photos in those blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a trial subscription and a pickup truck
But I knew the Gates were out of luck
The day the Gator class died

I started singin', "Bye-bye, class that's in the Top Five"
Drove my Wagon to Payne's Prairie, but The Prairie was dry
Them good old Gates were drinkin' whiskey 'n Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die"

Now for ten years they've been trending down
And moss grows fat on a sinkin' stone
But that's not how it used to be
When Mr. 2 Bits sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from Trey Dean
And a voice that came from Umammielen

Oh, and while Spurrier was looking down
Slingblade Billy stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while Armstrong read a book on defense
The fans took down their tailgate tents
And they all sang dirges so intense
The day the Gator class died

They were singin', "Bye-bye class that's in the Top Five"
Drove G-Wagons to Payne's Prairie, but The Prairie was dry
Them good old Gates were drinkin' whiskey 'n Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die"

"I Won't Back Down" in the summer swelter
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and fallin' fast
Football landed foul on the grass
The players tried for a forward pass
With Mullen on the sidelines in a Vader mask

Now, the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the Gators played a marching tune
They all got up to dance
Oh, but they never got the chance
'Cause the players tried to take the field
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the Gator class died?

They started singin', "Bye-bye, class that's in the Top Five"
Drove G-Wagons to Payne's Prairie, but The Prairie was dry
Them good old Gates were drinkin' whiskey 'n Rye
And singin', "This'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die"

Oh, and there they were, all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
So come on, Graham be nimble, Graham be quick
Graham Mertz sat on a candlestick
'Cause touchdowns are the devil's only friend

Oh, and as they watched Slingblade try to engage
Their hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in ****
Could break that Satan's spell
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
They saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the Gator class died

Billy was singin', "Bye-bye, class that's in the Top Five"
Drove his Wagon to Payne's Prairie, but The Prairie was dry
Them good old Gates were drinkin' whiskey 'n Rye
And singin', "This'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die"

I met a Gator who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just frowned and turned away
I went down to the main bookstore
Where I'd heard Gator music years before
But the man there said Gator music wouldn't play

And in the streets, the Gators screamed
The alums cried and the boosters dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The stadium seats all were broken
And the three men they admire most
The Urban, Steve, and Tebow Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the Gator class died

And they were singin', "Bye-bye, class that's in the Top Five"
Drove G-Wagons to Payne's Prairie, but The Prairie was dry
And Them good old Gates were drinkin' whiskey 'n Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that we die
This'll be the day that we die"

They were singin', "Bye-bye, class that's in the Top Five"
Drove G-Wagons to Payne's Prairie, but The Prairie was dry
Them good old Gates were drinkin' whiskey 'n Rye
Singin', "This'll be the day that we die" “

Wow. That is the equivalent of hundreds of hours of obligatory therapy. Sheesh. What a cry for help.

I regards to Bain’s ranking, I know 247 ranks players based on where they believe they will eventually be drafted. There’s 32 first round picks and they give out 32 5 star ratings. Bain wasn’t given a 5th star because short defensive linemen almost never get drafted in the first round. That’s literally the reason. The ratings have nothing to do with how productive the player was or even how well they believe they’ll play at the college level. It’s also why you never see 5 star interior linemen. Those guys rarely get picked in the first round. It’s also why no kickers are ever ranked higher than three stars even if they’re the best kicker in the country.

Don't question Gator Meth...er Math. Only they can add to their class rankings with portal numbers. Everyone else's number is locked in once the class closes.

Edit: Also, you can't subtract any portal losses from their number either.

Zandemela is not going to help this year...

And where will he transfer once Slingblade Billy is fired? Maybe Zandamela and Lagway will be a Portal package deal...
I was thinking the same thing. These Gator fans are so short sided. Their program is about to hit reboot and their roster will be pillaged.

They will dump so much money paying off Billy and hiring a new coach. It will be at least 2027 before they recover.

Meanwhile Miami ascends to the national stage with another beat down of the Gators at Hard Rock.

Someone needs to tell them this. Do it for all teams if you going to do it for yourselves
