how does UF not already have one of these, a IPF or athletic dorms? The east needs to get its shite together.



We have an academic center and it is very well thought of, we are just expanding it.

Going from this:


To this:


We have athletic dorms as well, the only thing we don't have is the IPF which is coming very soon.

Who can argue with a proven method. It worked at LSU, almost worked with the Miami Dolphins, has absolutely proven itself with Bama.

We are that far behind, it gets blown out of proportion because we don't have an IPF. It is something teams in Florida are just getting around to doing, hell none of the pro teams have them either.

There are little things that need to be done since the last upgrades in 2008, but outside of the IPF we don't need anything major.

Correct. I haven't kept up with NFL football for about 5 years now. I was an avid Phin fan for over 40 years. In fact, I'm Boycotting the NFL. I can't stand their arses. Politics and football don't mix for me.

You obviously don't know squat about the Gators vs girls school series...we have owned them and will always own them. They are in the backseat here in Florida...check out how many license plates are sold with UF logos and girls school logos....guess who is dominant? Merchandise sales?

Upgrades starting on those sub-standard facilities. Thanks to the booster who invested this money in the program!

Florida quarterback Treon Harris is facing a second-degree misdemeanor charge for operating a motor vehicle without a valid license.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




According to court records, Harris has never had a driver's license. His arraignment date is Jan. 15 in criminal traffic court.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




Treon Harris’ attorney, Huntley Johnson, said Harris is in the process of trying to secure a driver’s license.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




Johnson said once Harris gets his license, the misdemeanor charge likely will be dropped.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




According to UPD, two small bags of marijuana were found in the car Treon Harris was driving. He was not charged because the car is not his.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




According to UPD, two passengers were in the car with Harris, including true freshman cornerback Jalen Tabor and another UF student.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




Harris was stopped on Stadium Drive for going 10 mph over the speed limit on Dec. 13 at 11:29 p.m. Smell of marijuana coming from the car.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




Actually just realized that the third passenger in the car with Harris was true freshman DB J.C. Jackson.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




Harris, Tabor and Jackson could be facing discipline from a Student Conduct Board, which will investigate the case.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




Still waiting to hear from UF if this will impact Harris and Tabor in terms of playing in the Jan. 3 Birmingham Bowl.

— Robbie Andreu (@RobbieAndreu) December 19, 2014




The car Harris was driving did not belong to Tabor or Jackson, either, thus they also were not charged with possession of marijuana.

Just paying for a lil house cleaning

12.5 million is an interesting number that was donated

975k for Idaho to cancel their game
6.3 mil to fire Will
3 mil to buyout McElwain
2 mil to CSU for a future game

Robbie Andreu has the biggest hardon because he did not get an interview with Coach MAC.

In Gainesville the cops do their jobs, in Tally they cover up.

Or it is half of the proposed $25 million expansion of the academic center, the other half of which has already been raised.

Sort've like you laughing at LSU when we do the same to your program? While in response you start dumb threads about Speedy Noil?
