re: What will it take to be impressed by UF's offense in Game 1?

I've said it before, even made a thread here. Foley is a great AD but also overrated and could improve. UF should always win annual cup challenges. Look at the demographics in the south and Caribbean.

Some areas for improvement:

Facilities - This is a big one for me. Our facilities look like shite compared to other SEC schools. Foley is a noted tightwad which I think has hurt the overall image of UF sports. I talk to recruits and I've heard them say it. An old Odome, crumbling BHG, no indoor practice field, poor baseball facility, etc.

Poor coaching hires/fires - he mismanaged the Urban Meyer departure. Even gave him $million dollars on the way out. Let him stay a year too long because he didn't have a back up plan, which really started the decline of Gator football. Zook, Muschamp. Lucked out on most all the successful coaches.

Poor image - UF became the poster child of college athlete arrests. Serial killer, rapist, violence against woman, robberies, etc., and many of these transgressions were from the woman athletes. There was a lack of institutional control for a few years.

UF Sports attendance - We suck in attendance to most sports at home and on the road. Foley has done a poor job to attract fans to athletic events.

Improving UF national brand - The success that UF has had, UF should be a national an international brand. We are still a very regional brand. You have to work hard and spend money to expand your brand into other regions. Foley hasn't really tried.

Most people just look at the wins at UF but if you think about it, UF should always dominate athletics. UF did very well before Foley.

Well, maybe you are smarter than Foley on this one.
