Yeah guys like Scheyer and Golden might make the NBA jump if things don't settle down with NIL and portal
It's why May left
I would say jealous of UK hoops knowing LSU hoops realistically will never win a NCAA basketball tournament
I've enjoyed LSU's run in football since Saban took over, never thought I would see LSU win a football natty in my lifetime
Obviously wouldn't trade LSU baseball success for anyone else
Maybe Arkansas track and field or Oklahoma softball programs

Idk, I think Florida has proven we can be quite successful in both at the same time. It isn't necessary for one program to suffer for the other to win.

Cool story. It's just that 2008 seems a little further off in my football world.

Yeah, we've sucked for a minute. Has nothing to do with a successful basketball program.

I'd argue, historically speaking, it has everything to do with the all-out pursuit of the "Director's Cup." Florida didn't have a gridiron pulse until the 1990s, and Spurrier left still in his coaching prime. In blows Urban Meyer for a cup of coffee, and he too was gone. Historically speaking, that's it for the last 125-plus years of pigskin glory. If you feel compelled to now discuss the Charlie Pell era, please don't.

Florida's success in the Directors Cup is honestly mostly the result of location. Much easier to attract talent in the non-revenue sports when you're the flagship school in a state with a massive talent pool. It's not a coincidence the school sports programs started taking off in the 90's with the demographic changes in Florida during that time.

This fluff-stuff cost money. At the height of the Urban Meyer era, the Swamp was starting to look just like its namesake. That stuff cost even more money.

Amusing an LSU fan started this thread and brought up basketball rather than the most obvious example of envy in college sports which is LSU of Bama

UF’s spending on non-revenue sports is in line with other SEC schools. We’re not doing anything crazy in these sports, just easier for us to recruit.

Have you heard about this thing called NIL?
It is going to be very expensive now for a school to be elite in both football and basketball at the same time.

To be fair we’ve been to the mountaintop in football 3 times in the past 23 years. We are basement dwellers in basketball with zero Nattys in the modern era. Every other SEC program not named Bama or UGA would take our football success in that time period and not think twice about it.

I’m not jealous or envious of any other program.
