Yeah, only fix seems to be a major overhaul, which seems highly unlikely in the near future.
Agree, it's not a good forecast.

Thing about this article too is Will, the guy who runs that site, struck me as a bit of a sunshine pumper during the end of the Mullen years.

I like how he puts effort into his takes and articles, but I noticed that he used a lot of statistics and would try to use them to fit his personal take, or hope, on the outcomes of games when predicting them.

To me, it was clear Mullen was done after they lost to a bad LSU team, and we'd probably lose out under him (nearly did if it weren't for Samford) yet the Read and Reaction guy would take some random stats and use them to predict a win nearly each week (except for against UGA).

Now he's pretty pessimistic about the outlook of this program. If guys like that are leaning negative, that's a sign that this operation is on life support with the plug about to be pulled.

Hal Lewis and people like Hal are the reason UF I'd where it's at.

Every fan that walks into the swamp could give $20 each that would be approximately let's just go off of 80000 a home game times 7 home games
Which equals in the neighborhood of 11.2 mil a season from your everyday fan.
Realistically what would that accomplish in the NIL world of college football today?
But I have said this and I'll keep saying it.
That is Florida Victorious set up a booth in or around the Stadium on game days fans would give. Especially on big game days your Tenner, LSWHO, TEXAS,ALABAMA,FSU ETC!!!
I really believe they could bank a pretty penny on those days.

But I certainly do not trust the UAA or most of the Bul gators like Hal Lewis for anything but a statement of let's put our best 22 out there and give it our best. That is like saying my wife is 5'3" and weighs 250 yes I'll pimp her out and see how much money I can make?
