Found this looking to see if Manny was with Joe this morning. It's a must listen.

Thanks. No offense but I think we all need a little more of the “why” we should listen at this point. Any quick highlights?

Summary peas.

OJ Anderson, Chuck Foreman, Albert Bailey, The Edge, Eddie Brown, Romberg just to name few attended.

Not a bashing session. Just want a voice. Pick a panel of 5-6 guys.

Joe asked what's the biggest issue in getting the U back. Melvin told a story about buying in the early 80's a Whopper to get 2 tickets and try to flip em and couldn't sell them. Basically keeping SOFL kids home.

Melvin talked about how Baga had 3 starting DB's from SOFL in the NCG.

Culture at the other schools that come to SOFL and cherry pick recruits is not the same as it is at the U.

Plenty of money in MIami - plenty of billionaires in Miami to help.

Suggestions for AD - AC Tellison, Gino, and ZO.

Zo had over 1300 ACT - how the **** did he do that! LOL

Talked about how UCF is the best team in the FL - how does that happen.

The U brand is well known nationally.

Melvin said he has to walk away from the TV during games.

Mentioned Earl LIttle and was disheartened because we're not in the top 3 for JR.

Sorry, if this guy think UCF is the best team in FL his opinion goes out the door for me.

 

[San Amaro Dr]

So basically he's a moron. Got it.

I was surprised by that as well. I think he was trying to emphasize his point about how far we have fallen.

 

[Gables Canes]

Some of our former players don’t know ****.

 

[AlphaMarshan]

Melvin told a story about buying in the early 80's a Whopper to get 2 tickets...

Kids these days with their **** music! Get off my lawn!

 

[305407cane]

Ucf is horrible. 1300 ACT? Great. How does that help us

 

[gordonsolie]

AC Tellison for AD. Sounds like a plan.

 

[423Hurricane]

I have as much experience as an AD as Zo dew.

Yea, but did you score over 1300 on your ACT?

 

[90scane]

When did the ACT score above 36?

 

[Ksoze8]

Some of our former players don’t know ****.

But there are far more of our former players that know what they’re talking about than there are formers who don’t know what they’re talking about. Melvin is speaking the truth and from his heart.

 

[ScubaCane]

I appreciate these guys being concerned with the state of the program but please keep them away from any serious decision making

 

[Pentagon Cane]

You have NFL executive experience? It's bull**** to think that Highsmith could not handle the job. He is a bright guy. My guess is he hires some pretty sharp Associate ADs.

BTW, Skip Bertman ran the LSU Athletic Department and hired Nick Saban. What the fucque did he know about football and basketball? The last time he had anything to do with football was as an assistant coach at Beach High.

 

[Telituesday]

When did the ACT score above 36?

They made an exception for him

 

[Tad Footeball]

If someone tells the cot**** story about getting free tickets with a Whopper one more godforsaken time....

 

[BS85]

Never took any such. My job don’t rechoir foremal schooling beeyawh 6th grade.

You a sheepdog or something?

lawd. That's why these former players should have virtually zero involvement in this process.

 

[KrazyCane]

1300 ACT??.. this fool talking about a SAT score. Which is still very impressive if true.
