Price tag for Florida hosting Colorado State is far larger than $2 million game check

As noted by The Tampa Bay Times this week, this is no ordinary contest however — it’s a prohibitively expensive one for the Gators.

You can start with the fact that McElwain once commanded an incredible $7.5 million buyout at Colorado State. That huge number was negotiated down by then-UF AD Jeremy Foley and wound up becoming a $3 million payment over six years for the Gators and a further $2 million payment by McElwain. The Rams weren’t about to give up $2.5 million for free though and agreed to travel to Gainesville for a game — the one on Saturday — that would have a guaranteed $2 million check.

McElwain was fired just two and a half years into his tenure with the Gators however and was paid a similarly hefty buyout of $7.5 million by the school not to run the football program any more. That led to the hire of Dan Mullen in the offseason after a long search but the game remained on the schedule for 2018.

You know, FSU vs. Gators is going to be a real ****** race.

FSU has a better quarterback, but a worse coach.

The Gators have a terrible quarterback, but a *slightly* better coach.

It might be 0-0 going into overtime.

We have to come up with a marketing headline/title for that game.
 
You know, I didn't mean for you guys to actually live up to my expectations...

But keep doing so. I'm proud of you.

**** Fest against FreakDance?
 
SEC refs starting to take over. Colorado has no chance now. Any good play is getting called back. Even the announcers are noticing.
