TrumpyCane thinks the Gators need to realize they are not a real serious program in the historical sense. They have had 3 NC in which the teams couldn’t even go undefeated. They were never dominate for more than 2-3 seasons and only have 9 conference championships even though they have part of a conference for 70+ years.

TrumpyCane has no idea how they can look in the mirror and believe they should be winning everything when throughout their history they’ve never been that program like Bama, Miami, USC, Nebraska and even Florida State where there was 5+ years of extended dominance.

UF is literally Auburn of Florida teams. A program that will always be in the shadows of its bigger brothers who occasionally come out with a nice little season which boosts their inflated egos and think they are comparable when in reality in a historical sense they are a blip on the radar

If you look at the entire history of college football, where UFailure is located talent wise, their access to that talent, their alumni base, their political control, and the amount of money they’ve had to play with over the decades, and being the “flagship“ public education university in the third largest state in the union, and the one with the most talent, they are, without a doubt, the MOST UNDERACHIEVING COLLEGE FOOTBALL PROGRAM OF ALL TIME.

Prove me wrong.

He actually got up in the morning and made a conscious decision to wear this shirt. I’m not listening to anything he has to say.

uif: the ONLY school to simultaneously be completely above board when it comes to recruiting, but also offer 5 star LBs money and jobs and housing for families.

They’re not gonna do it for Malik Bryant though. They easily could if they wanted to, he’s just not a take for them.

Yes.

If Harold Perkins was worth multiple rules violations and God knows how much money, why have the Gaytors suddenly gone frugal and rule-abiding, while they now argue the "worth" merits of every blue chip transfer prospect?

I was similarly coming to post this comment. Just wearing that shirt is bad enough, but imagine deciding to make it your Twitter avi....

That’s the coup de grace.

Not only did he actually decide to wear that shirt, but then he compounded the bad decision by making that his profile pic.

We know the real reason behind that…

In the past SEC teams bought recruits and their families. No one knew where the money came from because it was usually cash.

Now these big SEC boosters will be on record when they give an NiL deal and all their “friends” will see who they’re giving their money too

Their friends didn't care when they were buying blacks in the SEC, but paying them, that is a different story.

It's the functional equivalent of one of our former football players using one of those "funny photos" from a few years ago as a profile pic...

Outright? We talkin' outright? At least Michigan was undefeated in 1997, which is more than we can say for ANY Gaytor "outright" championship.

And aren't you the same school that couldn't even win its CONFERENCE until Spurrier showed up?

Come on, man...Michigan has 11 claimed and 5 unclaimed national championships.

Meanwhile, the Gaytors have as many claimed national titles as UGa, the school that your fans took great delight in taunting for the last 40 years.

I actually feel bad for him outside of the gaytor thing. That’s a tough struggle. This is how he showed up at UiF. I don’t know if he’s dropped weight from this.

During the Gaytor spring game, the announcers were talking about how the scale in the football facility only goes up to 350, and they kept weighing him and weighing him and weighing him, without ever getting below 350. Then one day the scale his 349 and they celebrated.

Ridiculous.

I forgot to speak on this. See why Watson, he's solid but let's be real, there wasn't a formidable P5 school seriously pushing for him because of his weight but what does lazy recruiting Mullen do? Disregard it due to our horrible recruiting at DT and take a kid who should of been a conditional take if he made a certain weight by X date. I know Ethan White was pushing 400 before he got to UF, but at least he had a back issue as a senior and wasn't able to work out and stuff (this is according to him and his mom).

Unless he does some serious soul searching, he's going to be a one down player and if you get two straight downs out of him, good luck. He's talented but that weight is going to be a life long issue with him cause they say he was losing weight last year but once the season was over (I mean as far as games played because our season was over after UGA whooped us lol), he just regressed back to bad habits. Wishing for the best but not expecting much from him.

And I know I've given a couple of the Gaytors a hard time over their weights, but I would ease up if it weren't for the arrogance of most Gaytor fans in telling all of us what position a guy should play based on weight ("we were the only school to be honest with Leonard Taylor by telling him that he could never play DT") and acting as if a couple of overweight guys were more "college-ready" than some lighter-weight guys who signed with Miami.

Talent is talent. I'd rather put weight on a guy like Greg Rousseau than try to force some of the Gaytor big-boys to lose weight.

a natty is a natty and if it comes from being undefeated or one loss, it's still a natty, no? And even then, Michigan pushing a smooth 25 years from the last time they hoisted a natty title. But shoot we pushing 14 years on both winning a natty and winning the SEC so there's that

And actually, the Gators won the SEC in the 80's but it wasn't split conference then annnnnnd it may have gotten stripped later on and they would have won it a few more times in the 80's but they were ineligible to do so.

I hear ya. I'm just saying, I am not inclined to be dismissive of a "split" national championship when both teams are undefeated (hello, 1991).

And since I grew up in Orlando and am a UF alum ALSO (one Gaytor degree, three Hurricane degrees), I am very familiar with Gaytor shenanigans in the 1980s. But to paraphrase you, an SEC title is an SEC title, and until Spurrier, there was no SEC football silverware in the Gaytor trophy case.

Query whether any of those coulda-woulda-shoulda 1980s SEC championships happen without the cheating. And, sure, I know that the SEC has always been "Steroid-Era-Baseball" when it comes to cheating, but still.
