    If he ends up there he'd also be a huge hypocrite imho. Isn't he saying he wants to start? They will have like 8 RB's next year. Smfh

    Don’t be surprised if he is Boulder bound. His brother was hinting at this earlier in the year.

    Maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll take you with him.

    Good luck to him.

    Anyone that doesn't want to be a Gator, all the best.
    I want a team of players that absolutely hunger to be here. If we don't have that, all the talent in the world means nothing.

    Go Gators!

    Yep, players that run out on their teammates are weak.

    Clown show number two, Colorado. Tallahassee is clown town and Dion is the clown show.

    While you can't build a championship team with this mentality anymore, you might be on to something here.

    Maybe Florida would do better to stop pretending like we're a championship program because we haven't been since Timmy. And we should make efforts to recruit guys who are good, but not necessarily mercenaries who we can rely on staying here. Almost all of the top guys are going to be mercenaries nowadays. That means recruiting classes which are worse on paper, but with far less turnover year-to-year.

    Basically the Dan Mullen formula provided that he never went completely asleep at the wheel on the recruiting trail. Just coach at least one side of the ball very well, hopefully hire a good coordinator for the other, have a good strength and conditioning program... and recruit basically like Kentucky or Dan Mullen's Mississippi State. Will the ceiling of the team be lower? Yes. But the floor will be much higher and we actually get some semblance of stability.

    This go big or go home approach we've had since Meyer is risky and the results speak for themself. You either end up really good or really bad. There is no in between.

    Florida fans really need to ask themselves if all years where we don't win a championship might as well be the same to us, or years where we don't win a title but go say 9-3 or 10-2 are really fun and we should appreciate that.

    To me, 2012, 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, and 2020 were genuinely great years in the sense that they were "fun." The reason why the coaches from each of those years were fired is because they crashed and burned and you just got the sense that they could not sustain that kind of success anymore.

    Unfortunately, I think you're going to be waiting a long time for this. Teams are now full of mercenaries, not lifers.

    I get what you are saying but do you think the lifers would be lifers if they had the same opportunity the players have today? Some would but I think plenty would have taken advantage of the new rules.

    Nope, I don't believe the lifers would be lifers today, but with very few exceptions. It's systemic.

    I hate that he is transferring but in all honesty, if you are great back would you want to run with the offensive line we have? Imagine what he can do with Bama or Ga. line.

    We won't ever have that again. That version of college football is dead, with no hope of resurrection.

    That's like asking for a team of Dallas Cowboys that is made of players that just want to be Cowboys. Doesn't exist in professional leagues.
