re: Gators in 2010

Interesting take on it from a Gator fan saying 3 losses. I got into an argument on here the other day with HarnessedInSlums who said the following:

You don't have to buy what I'm telling you. You wouldn't have bought it before last year's game and you won't buy it before this year's game. In your mind, LSU is right behind UF, just a year away. But the truth is you should prepare yourself for at least two more years of uncompetitive beatings and hope UF recruiting falls apart for one or two years. The gap is that big.

And I'm not a homer. I just call it like I see it. Florida hit the recruiting jackpot between 2006 and 2008. They got lucky in qualifying their players, in the number who panned out, and in the small number of transfers and busts. Even some of the lowly-ranked players that Florida fans lamented signing turned out to be all-stars (Brandon James and Ahmad Black, for instance). UF is on an uncommon sort of run evidenced by title runs in 2 out of 3 years, and likely 3 out of 4.

I'm actually doing you guys a favor by telling you this. Instead of getting your hopes up based on faulty information, I'm actually giving it to you straight, so you can keep your expectations in check. It is painful as a fan to believe the hype and then find your team losing game the pundits say they shouldn't be losing. That's going to be the LSU fan's experience against Florida for at least the next few years.

Apparently even without Tebow and many of your Jr's who can declare, the rest of the SEC may as well not show up. Brantley and all the current backups will be as good or better than the current starters. LSU, Bama, and UGA haven't recruited as well as UF. frick it. I'll guess we'll just give up now....
