Before we hang Foley or anyone else...lets pause and think. Antonio might be exaggerating this a tad? I dunno and some guys will voice things because of built up past and their perceived dissing. Not saying it isnt true but I would like to have this verified before jumping to conclusions.
True that we were slow to improve facilities lately...but Foley wants UF as strong as possible, but maybe the drive to excel in other sports programs caused this? Not an excuse, I am just thinking out loud?

This is total and utter bullshite. Does anyone remember the vans that drive around campus that say things like 'UF Physical Plant' on the side? Here's a nice bit of information - UF has plumbers, construction personnel, general contractors, welders, carpenters, electricians, and all sorts of people on the payroll. They ride around in those vans AND THEY FIX shite ALL OVER CAMPUS!
If there was a plumbing issue that wasn't resolved, there was a reason.
I just want to know this from these players:
Exactly what improvements in the facilities will put a stop to you getting your shite pushed in by Arkansas? Which improvements would prevent you from embarrassing the university when playing FSU?
Which improvements would have allowed you to play a full game against the Vols?
Please, Gator Players, let us know how many more millions of dollars and how many more millions of man-hours of labor it requires for you to be more than the 120th ranked offense in the nation. Clearly, your sense of pride isn't enough.

I was a huge Foley supporter when he was here. I still am deep down, really. The reason he was so great was because he was able to do what was necessary for every sport to be as successful as possible on the field. The downfall of that, and what hurt Foley in the eyes of the fans, is that he was too worried about those other sports to get facility upgrades for football. You can't ever lose sight of the fact that football plays the bills.
We have to stop acting like our football program is LSUs or Tennessees. We're not broke like them. Hell, they're broke and STILL do facility upgrades. Facility upgrades help in recruiting, they help in the psyche of the team, and it gives players more resources to get better on the field. I wish we would invest in our football program fully. Stop blocking hires of guys like Locksley, let Mac hire huge support staffs, oversign our recruiting classes. We want to be a powerful and dominant program like Bama but we don't have the administration that's willing to do what's necessary to compete at an elite level, despite having more money and resources than any program in the country. It boggles my mind.
