I really would have thought with the entire Heisman stage being occupied by gaytors (3 qb, a TE, and a long snapper) that they wouldn't be afraid of some small competition from little teams like Alabama.

But yeah, gaytors do have that anytime anywhere mentality...






...if you suck.
 
All they do is pound their chests and yell SEC SEC. Now the league actually wants them to have to play the top teams in conference and they’re crying. You can’t brag about playing against the toughest competition one day and then cry when you actually have to play against the toughest competition. They want to play Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Mississippi State while still claiming “SEC SEC”.

Fewer and fewer of us. Growing up playing football at Lake Lytal in 2000, PBC was heavy Cane territory but you did see a Gator and Nole presence because all 3 dominated at the time. Slowly it went away, in 08 you saw Gator fans everywhere, and working in Jupiter from 12-15 was a Nole nightmare.

I've been in Jupiter for over 40 years. There's always been a significant Cane presence here. I can't go out with my mask now without someone telling me, "It's all about the U!", or "Go Canes!" Even back 30 years ago in the bowling alley a guy was wearing a shirt that that said, "FSU sucks, but Notre Dame swallows", and at least 6 strangers walked up to him complimenting it.

This ******* obsession
Click to expand...


Gaytors are INSANELY obsessed about recruit rankings.

1. If 247 rankings are higher than "the industry" (Rivals and ESPN), brag about how 247 is so much better than other services.
2. If "the industry" rankings are higher than 247, DEMAND that 247 raise the rankings.
3. When Gaytor rankings are too low a year in advance, attack all the writers.
4. When Gaytor rankings are too low after Signing Day, talk about "Gaytor bias".
5. When Gaytors lose players before they ever make it to September, insist that the rankings cannot be retroactively adjusted.
6. When Gaytors get transfers after NSD, point out that they should be included in class rankings, preferably using the HS ranking (or, you know, whatever ranking is higher and helps the Gaytors more).
7. Double-count all those academic non-qualifiers two years later.

The Gaytor brand is "statistical manipulation and fraud".

Why do they want 247 to overrate their guys? Do they think putting a different star next to their name will make them a better player? If you get a 3 star guy but you feel he's underrated, why do you care what a recruiting site ranks him? I'm not going to sit here and cry that Breshard Smith should be a four star guy. I know the kid can play and he's playing for us. I don't care if 247 thinks he 2 stars or 6 stars. They're so ridiculously obsessed with arbitrary ranking numbers. If they had a crystal ball and could see which players pan out and which players bust, they'd still chase after 5 star guys even if they knew they were going to bust.

They know they won't be winning the SEC anytime soon, but they have convinced themselves that if they win a bunch of February championships, it will eventually lead to SEC championships. Just as "on the field results" have led to better recruiting. And "better facilities" have led to better recruiting.

Meanwhile...and I apologize in advance for the Hurricanes Logic here...if all the recruiting services simply inflate the Gaytor recruits' player ratings JUST BECAUSE GAYTORS DEMAND IT...won't the new "Gaytors Brand" become overrated recruits who tank at the collegiate and/or NFL levels?

"Stars" and "points" don't make the players any better. In fact, many players "have a chip on their shoulders" from being underrated, and many highly rated players fall victim to their own hype (cough, cough, Tathan).

So why not...shut up...and let that "best S&C coach in the country" do his part...and let those coaches who "turn 3-stars into NFL draft picks" do their jobs...and let gameday coaching savant Mullet earn his money...and then wins and SEC-CGs and Final 4s will start piling up.

Nope.

Gaytor fans want to waste all their time and energy on attacking Rivals/247 writers for not giving the Gaytor Bumpz to all their recruits.

Sad. But hilarious and salty.
