Billy is the opposite of analytics. For a supposed smart school we do not analytics at all. At best it’s a high school quality analytics team

 

Patience is a virtue

 

If this is in reference to the remainder of this season, I can agree. If this comment extends beyond this season, I couldn’t disagree more.

 

With how Billy reacted after Ut called timeout - smiling and laughing on the sideline…I don’t think he had any intentions of running that play. He was smiling because his strategy to line up for 2 caused UT to burn a timeout that they may have needed to drive for the fg worked. If UT didn’t call timeout Billy would have and kicked then xp.

 

I will let him know that he should side with the millions in athletics as opposed to the billions or possibly even trillions of dollars in research and development.

Those people are not stupid.

They are trying to insure the greatness of UF in the larger scheme of things.

Win at football and all sports if one can but guarantee immortality and greatness in academics and research. The real world.

That is the plan, anyway.

To make UF the greatest research institution in the world.

And we have nothing but resources all around us available for the task.

 

It was going to be the same guy calling the place in overtime so what the hell

 

The two really aren’t that connected where would be affect each other?

 

4 times in the redzone first half and only 3 pts to show. That's sunbelt billy ball.

 

That's derogatory to the Sunbelt.

 

It is a matter of where you place your emphasis. There is only so much time and effort to expend.

So smart people wisely choose where they can have the greatest impact.

And that is going to be in the industrial - scientific world for UF rather than athletics.

One wants to be well rounded but there is neither the time or the money to expend it in all the worlds.

The board says go for the greater impact while trying to be good in the athletic world also.

But one can only have one master and for us that is in the scientific academic world.

Hopefully, we can do well in the athletic world also but it is a matter of emphasis.

I love athletics but at UF it will take a back seat to the industrial-scientific world.

Our board is choosing to try to outdo the Stanford/Cal Berkley world.

 

At the very least, there is an ensuing battle between this side and the football-first side. This side of the equation probably looks at the current ACC and wouldn't mind trading places with FSU in terms of the company they keep ($$$ aside).

 

It’s pretty much a separate entity that doesn’t need the other in almost any way.

If we are speaking of actual, tangible, quantifiable, productive research and actual scientific advancements? Then yes. Because those things speak for themselves.

If we are talking about the intangibles of academic prestige then not necessarily. Much of that is a highly politicized beauty contest and gauche things like contact sports, and (even more so) the sorts of fans those things attract can be viewed as a net negative. Tolerated, of course, but certainly not something that is aspired to.

 

Wahoo! (nice fish too)

 

Lane could probably talk Lagway into staying and change that young man's life.

 

Nice wahoo
