College athletics play with monopoly money. None of them live in the real world.

We are dominating the SEC Cold War
cue beastie boys music


I can't stand it I know you planned it
But I'm gonna set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rocking when I'm in here
Because your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this fricking thorn in my side
Oh my Good, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all it's a sabotage

Don't know who you guys expect to get if you're ready to can McElwain already. No coach is going to want to play for a team that fired a guy that won his division the last two years. Let the season play out at least.

Some bandwagon Gator fans are showing their a**es this week. They need to calm down, it will be OK. Sure changes are needed but calm down.

That is a lot of coin. I bet he could by some of the finest, loose, fin-splitting tail in the Atlantic.

He was probably thinking, jeez, I guess I should put some protection in place so that the head coach isn't run out of town by the fans after one bad game...

All joking aside, UF is stuck with this a-hole for 2 more years, so you might as well just start hoping for the best.

That's why he felt confident enough to finally buy those gold teeth he always wanted.

This guy staying at my hotel over the weekend was outside at 2am drunk as piss. He was telling me that the boosters are obviously very upset with the progress of the offseason and they are actively looking for funds for a buy-out. This guy's dad is apparently a high flyer within the organization.

Are you guys really ready to pull the plug on a coach with back to back SEC appearances? Nuss is a dumb arse regardless of how you cut it.

My sauces have bravely provided us with this transcript from McElwain's contract re-negotiation.

McElwain: I'm gonna need a $15 mil buyout.

Stricklin: (laughs uncontrollably for 4 minutes), Tell you what, you frick that shark, you've got a deal.

Many Bothans have died to bring us this information.

They clearly went to the Texas A&M school of contract negotiation.

Y'all could come up with the money if y'all could hide from the public that y'all were spending that much to fire your coach that won the SEC East twice in a row

This is what we went through at the end of the 2015 season. It's all about optics

When the guy comes out and says he can win with his dog at qb and we're in year 3 still dealing with the same shitty offense, he deserves all the criticism he gets...Bobby Stoops 2018

It's one game without your best players. Damn there is some over reactions going from week one winners and losers.
