Thanks. Its about as bad as I expected, maybe worse. I will watch UF compete in just about anything including intramural sports. However, once UF soccer fell behind by 1 goal it was game over and I found other things to occupy my time. I sure hope Samantha turns it around with the incoming class and some aggressive movement in the portal, but lets be honest, if this was any other sport, she would be gone after three seasons and a well below .500 winning percentage.

 

Not a Gator in the all sec 1st, 2nd, or 3rd teams

 

I guess in theory she saved the program money -- no week long trip for SEC tournament and no ncaa tourney travel expenses.

keep in mind the reality is also besides Miss State, Arkansas, Texas and South Carolina, the rest of the teams really aren't that good.
Vandy looked absolutely terrible against bama last night. They looked the gators, couldn't string 2 passes together, shot from distance, they were just bad. Zero pace on the wings, and bama isn't a good team either with an rpi in the 100s.
I see it across the board, college soccer places a premium on fitness over soccer ability. kids work all summer to pass the fitness tests, where that time would be better spent on the ball.

Zero progress and regression. we do have a ton of freshman and sophomores on the team.
But we also have 3 redshirt juniors, 2 seniors and 6 grad students so not buying the youth argument etc.

teams poorly coached period.
