can you tell me what steve spurrier coaching against ray goff and jim donnan has to do with anything? Hell if we're using smack talk from 27 years ago why stop there?

That UGA team that UF beat in Jacksonville was a lifeless pile of shite. They played with no heart, and basically shut it down in the 3rd quarter. Kirby lost to Vandy, Ga. Tech with their 1950s offense and 2 star talent. Nicholls State took UGA to the final mins of the 4th quarter. UF had a Kirby clone 3 years ago and we fired him. How many 5 to 6 loss seasons will UGA have to go through?

You're right beating UGA is no big deal. After all UF has won 20 of the last 26 games between the two teams.

Florida's 2012 and 2013 classes were both just as highly ranked as Georgia's class this year

---

12 class= 287 points (91.5 avg). 2 5*, 13 4*
13 class= 291 points (90.7 avg). 2 5*, 13 4*

UGA 2017= 300 points (92.7 avg). 2 5*, 18 4*

You can't just compare the final "ranking" because you aren't comparing each class to the same opposition. None of muschamp's classes were as good as this one.

quote:

---

So to say muschamp never recruited on the level that Kirby did is absurd.

---

I never said he's not an excellent recruiter, he is. One of the things he's known best for actually. But the numbers bear out that he never had a class like this one.

quote:

---

Also, Florida won nothing with those classes

---

And that's fine, I hope you understand I'm not saying "we pulled an elite class, we're going to win a title within 3 years". I'm just pointing out that we have never brought in the top to bottom talent that we just did. We've always recruited pretty well but never this well. It starts with the jimmies and joes so we're putting ourselves in a better position than we have been in any time in recent memory. Obviously we still have to coach them up.

quote:

---

And you can't figure out why people compare him to Muschamp?

---

Sure I can, because both were elite coordinators taking their first HC job. I just think it's a piss poor comparison.

quote:

---

Will your tone change if you lose by multiple scores in Jacksonville for a 4th consecutive year?

---

Out of curiosity what "tone" am I taking? All I've been saying, pretty consistently, is that we are getting better talent than we've ever gotten. Along with the fact that Mcelwain isn't recruiting at a high of level as UF probably should be. I've made no predictions abotu the game this year, I don't have a clue what will happen. But I think we're putting ourselves in darn good shape compared to the last 2 years I know that.

quote:

---

But if your coach doesn't give two shits about offense

Go look at our class and tell me if you really think Smart doesn't give two shits about offense.

IDK about my tone. My patience will start to dwindle, though.

Georgia fans are hilarious trying to compare their class with Alabama's.

Alabama's class is in a league by itself. And they've had like what 6 straight #1 classes. Georgia has the #3 recruiting class this year and it's the greatest of all time.

News flash: The only difference between Georgia's class and Florida's class is a couple of 5-star players, who will probably be busts anyways. Your four-stars are not significantly better than our four-stars just because some arbitrary rating system has them a few spots higher. Once you get past the top 50 or so recruits, it's all a crap shoot anyway.

Haha OK. We're the homers.

UGA: 2 5*, 18 4*, 6 top 50, 7 top 100
UF: 0 5*, 11 4*, 0 top 50, 1 top 100

Yeah, those two 5*s (which will be busts anyways, per xenythx) are totally the only difference.

UGA needs a few more fans. May I suggest that you join them. What I mean is you hate Coach Mac, and you admire Kirby's recruiting. It is seemingly a perfect fit for you.

Kirby may not be the best technical coach. Let's just say he wasn't a fan of Richt's players.

It's a totally different philosophy at nearly all position groups.

With that said I wouldn't judge this coaching staff on year 1. Year 2 should be the more accurate metric.

I would also question how JE will do without those NFL studs Muschamp brought to the Florida defense.

I don't hate UF. I expect UF to compete for NCs and top 5 'recruiting classes. Getting Conliffe, Slaton, Hendo, and Edwards was nice but Not limp through football season or scramble to fill a class with projects or only get 2 of the top 20 in florida shouldn't happen here. Iowa is fricking garbage. They lost to a div 2 school. I'm a dude assume hole. I got banned because you bitches couldn't handle the facts I was laying down about ole country crock. It's no secret I think Mac backed into the SECCG game twice. That he can't recruit at an elite level or he he's an average in game coach and doesn't know how to fire Nuss and his staff is in disarray. He's learning on the job. That shouldn't happen here. The Seider hire is great but why wait so long? Not having an OL coach cost us Herbert.
