The Sky is Falling...For Everyone

The basic premise to most of the fans perusing here is going to be, okay "they" are being just as affected as us, so that means "they" will sink in the morass as much as us. And if misery truly does love company, we will have a "end of the world as we know it" party with all the contemporaries.

OR...

somehow certain contemporaries will withstand their losses without much of a glitch and remain in their level. And if "those guys" are the Bama/UGa/Clemson/ OSU/Oklahoma types, well then that explains it. But if it is the Baylor/TCU/ Oregon/Washington/Arkansas/aTm types, well then who exactly ARE our contemporaries? You know, the ones whose losses seem to never reach a viable floor and build towards a decent ceiling.

As I posted in the post-game FSU thread, Tick...Tick...Tick...

 

very interesting strategy to ask AI, thanks for sharing these results. I would think financial considerations and academic opportunities would be reversed, but playing time and coaching considerations totally makes sense.

it’s a real shame. College football as we knew it has terminal cancer, and all we can do is watch it slowly waste away.

 

I used to be a full-year college football junkie. I'm finding it increasingly hard to care about the sport outside of the actual games.

 

Not a single kid went anywhere for money. I guess they are a bit disingenuous.

 

I’m guessing they were too embarrassed to admit it was just about money. it sounds a lot better to say they transferred for “academic opportunities“.

 

Most of them in their parting letters are too chickenshit to tell the truth while they scurry out the back door on their teammates. The truth would make most of them look bad but it’s still the truth.

 

I remember YEARS ago a HS player we thought we were going to get signed with UGa instead (if I recall correctly). His reason why he changed course? He wanted to study engineering. UGa did not have an engineering program, at least then.

Players play. That does not mean that their acumen includes awareness. It is what it is.

 

It's always about money.

 

When they say that it’s not about the money, they are correct. It’s about the amount of money$,$$$,$$$.00.

 

100 percent of the time

“I am leaving because of my major blah, blah, blah, serve a higher purpose, blah blah blah, more opportunities for me and my family, blah blah blah, feel part of a community, blah blah blah. Oh and by the way, more money $$”

 

Amazing, isn’t it?????

 

UF needs to do whatever is necessary to have great O and D lines. That will help everything.

 

I vaguely remember this. PR 101 - if your spin is that you decommited or transferred for a specific degree, double check that the new school actually offers that degree before you post that garbage.

 

I’d let him walk as he won’t be in college much longer and will be gone before we can get Lagway on the field. We need kid in a bad way and rb is still not a weakness or priority in this roster. He’s very talented no doubt but he isn’t likely tge difference in winning games for us. A rb rarely makes that much of a difference. Bama and Georgia didn’t come down to who had the best rb and neither will these playoffs. Running backs, do not decide national championships and Super Bowls.

 

We are keeping Mertz because he only had 3 options.
Stay
Enter the draft
Retire.
He used his grad transfer to come to UF and he only has 1 yr of eligibility so he can't sit out.

 

There are a few scholars that get through on football, but so many of these football players pretend they belong at an educational institution like they earned that. If they couldn’t play football, they couldn’t even get into the school and have to be nudged through the system to stay eligible to be on the football team. Schools even make classes specially tailored for athletes so they can stay eligible.
