The Top 25 Universities For R&D Spending; Johns Hopkins #1 Again

FYI.

TBL: we get a whole not more bang for buck in re$earch, than football, and actually, more room to improve in research than CFB.

 

I don't know. Do they allow Rising or Bluto type of scholarship at UF?

 

90,000 people will show up on Saturday to watch football and only the nerds give a shit which school you went to. If you’re at the bar having a beer they don’t say go John Hopkins

Again....respectable, but much room to improve.

jmho/fwiw.

Seems pretty obvious buddy. You ask everybody that disagrees with you for an explanation??

I don't see his post(s) as a big deal either way and a lot of fans/recruits find it humorous. Not much different than saying " can't spell citrus without UT" in my book.
The guy has a personality, you don't like him and maybe prefer another boring good old boy like Napier, that's fine. Kiffin may or may not be the guy but these continuous posts ragging on his character are just getting old to me. At least Kiffin is not posting revisionist self serving crap like Mullen.

Still liking Stoops?

 

How much does a touchdown cost?

 

No!

But I am not surprised some people tried to get him back to UF!

Winning at all costs is very important to some people. For a number of reasons.

 

>97% of involved, intelligent, and educated Florida parents, want their kids to go to UF, and not b/c of football.

just saying.

Football could crumble; UF would continue to flourish.

If UF crumbled...it would take football with it.

That. Is. Fact.

 

Of course it is a fact. My nerd son cannot play football very well and an education will serve him for his life. But there’s no reason to not have the best of both worlds. The one I am speaking of is actually at the University of Texas and is not concerned with Football at all. He doesn’t watch.

 

Very reliable source.

Nick Saban!

 

Let's approximate 50 TD's per season by 3 years = 150.

Billy's buyout, plus what he's been paid, comes out to roughly 50 Million.

50 million / 150 TD's comes out to approx. $333,333.33 per TD.

(by my crude, Neaderthalian arithmetic).

Shall we calculate how much we're paying for win?

 

It seems the wins are very expensive since we don’t get very many of them. Maybe if we spent a little bit more money and time trying to better our program, they would be a little cheaper

 

I will take Mullen over Kiffen any day!

Lane has a LONG history of misbehaving.

Saban saved Lane but Lane was too stupid and threw it all away!

 

Absolutely! The best!

 

Theoretically most would agree.
However, don't look too closely or you might not have many coaching options left. Dirty business most days.

 

Ita a forum. What's the point of smattering emojis without a reason behind it? I don't care if all my ratings are negative. It's pointless.

Yeah. Stoops is boring and his team sucks this year but again, it's Kentucky. We beat them 65 to 3 in the past among other several routes. They don't pull talent and their booster money goes to basketball. On top of kiffins garbage history with nukeese Richardson, coeds on the job and failures at USC and elsewhere as a coach he's tanking pretty hard in his supposed payoff year with his best team. He's beaten nobody this year so far and gets blown off the field 90% of the time against actual top tier comp.

As far as tweets, it wasn't one tweet. It's been several. He's a head coach of a supposed playoff contender and he's either making not so veiled hints at interest in florida or trolling altogether. Have fun being the butt of jokes and left at the altar when hindsight reaffirms the obvious, that Florida fans fawned over obvious troll posts OR we are desperately celebrating the hire of a guy that has no ethics and had his attention divided while coaching for another school. Awesome guy!

 

Let's just say that I know all the relevant characters personally!

 

That is where the real money and why we went after Sasse and are going after similar targets now.

That research money is going to explode IMHO and many other people!

 

You soooo miss the point.

Did you even attend UF? I think not. When did you graduate?

Because UF is respected academically, the graduates get better jobs, make more money, and have more successful careers. The are better able to support their families. This helps hundreds of thousands-perhaps millions- of people, not just football fans.

UF research from ag, to engineering , to medicine, to business to science , to dentistry, etc. helps millions of people around the world.

But you aren't a nerd for sure.

So.. since you have told us multiple times that you can't afford to go to games, would you like help in setting up a gofundme page?

 

I think Lane is a good offensive minded coach, but is not the only one. Personally, his two losses has surprised me and I thought he'd have his team in contention for a spot in the playoff. IE he went from a 9 down to a 7 on my list.

But character matters too and I'm not sure his coaching ability outweighs the character issues. SS made the mistake of just looking at only one candidate, I'm hoping this time around a few more worthy candidates are in the mix. All this is for not if Lane isn't interested in leaving Ole Miss. Actually, he has it very good there and more than likely his appetite for playing around will be tolerated there as long as he wins more games than loses.
