Need to bring that back.

Gaypier recruited a bunch of Boy Scouts like DJ Fagway and we went 4-8/5-7 every year with a Gasparilla bowl ceiling

Foley is a bitch for cheaping out on our future stars while Bama et al were buying them escalades.

Cam Newton was having to steal laptops to get bread while Trent Richardson was driving around in an escalade.

Cam's father even said he wasn't doing it for free this time, implying UF wasn't even handing out the usual McDank bag with cash in it

We need a few of them back....it is scarier for the other team if you know someone on the opposite side will literally kill you.

It was scary how dominant that team was from the second half of the Arkansas game onward. It also speaks to the leadership of men like Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes, who were able to keep that team together and also keep Aaron Hernandez from killing people.

So Meyer was able to get the U type players up to Gainesville when Miami was a disaster and wandered in the desert for 15 years

This is true.
Foley enjoyed status as "premier" AD during the Spurrier years and Donovan. The Gator homers radio jocks used to crow about how gifted he was.
In fact, he sucked. He didn't hire Spurrier and Machen had more to do with Myer's hiring than Foley.
In fact, Foley's hires were Zook, Muschamp and shark fricker.
He basically refused to upgrade football facilities because he thought Florida to be so superior that they didn't need to the bells and whistles. After all, it's the University of Florida. Arrogant prick.

Not accurate. If you spend any time talking to Meyer he will tell you as much. Machen and Meyer's time at Utah didn't overlap as much as people think.

People don't blame Machen enough for this. Machen actually required the athletic department to cut the budget significantly despite increasing revenue and shut down a master plan that was going to reshape the facilities because he didn't want the AD to finance more projects. There were some big things in the pipeline that disappeared.

It’s sad that an lsu fan understands the issues of the UAA and Jeremy Fooley a lot better than the Disney Gators do
