Of course Bama fan sides with A&M after their whiny arse coach was embarrassed on national TV last weekend. Get beat down by UF so we'll commiserate on how their coaches say mean things about us. :wah: :wah:

Players taking cheap shots. Talking shite the whole game while getting their arse kicked. Golden and this team don’t play around and put up with nonsense.
Gonzaga lost to Portland this week. That is going to be tough to recover from. Horrible horrible loss for a team with that schedule if they want a top 3 seed.
re: Field of 68 ranks SEC Men’s basketball jobs

t's a poll of the coaches, what do they know? Absurd, Indeed!
The idea that a bunch of coaches sat down and ranked all major conference jobs from top to bottom is as absurd as the list.

The issue with Florida is the UAA, that negates many good qualities about the job
And yet few schools can match UF this century. Must be something pretty good about the job to foster that level of success.
At the end of the day, if some of these other schools truly have that much money and that much support, then why aren't they producing?

it was from a poll of current coaches so it’s based on that.
I'm sure a bunch of coaches took time out of the middle of basketball season to fill out random polls on other jobs. :lol:
I just don't buy it. Maybe Goodman talked to a few of his buddies, don't know but any list that lands with UF at #5 should immediately throw up some red flags. Results speak for themselves.
It's such a random thing to throw out in the middle of conference play. I've seen them do this kind of thing before. Stir something up to drive people to their podcast.
An absurd ranking. To not have UF top 3 is absolutely insane. One of the most successful programs in nationally pre and post NIL going on 30 years now. Field of 68 up to their normal rage baiting.
I see him testing out the NBA waters at some point but I think we get 10+ years out of him at least, he is still so young. A very long career ahead of him still.

Probably not a popular opinion, but our student section fricking sucks and has for a long time.
They didn’t fill all of the student seats in the upper sections for a ranked opponent…. And they never get very loud when they should.
The renovation neutered the student section. The number of students court side was drastically reduced by putting in chairbacks and then shoved the band in there too to take even more. It was a big mistake, one of many with the reno.
Sooner we can get into new arena, the better.
It was the perfect response.

It is so damn hard to know what other schools are spending. There's so much gamesmanship that goes on. Hell, the revenue that schools like Texas and A&M report has been filled with all kind of BS for years for appearances sake.

How many is Florida been to total in the big three sports since 2000?
It was posted earlier. 10 - 2 in Football, 4 each in basketball and football.

That you need to keep adding the "return to college" is already a good example of the strained logic inherent in allowing some previously professional basketball players to play but not others.
Not to jump into this argument here, but how is this "strained logic"? That's kind of the whole point, this is a novel situation. The kid went pro and left college ball 2+ years ago? On the surface think pretty much everyone agrees it's not the kind of thing that should be allowed to happen.

I wish we knew what the actual breakdown was. Saw a comment in the UF BOT minutes where they expect to be around $25M-$30M this year football.
Gives some idea of where we are at I guess. I know LSU was talking about $25M+ for Kiffin.

I agree with Golden, but I wouldn't say this, even though it was at a local radio show broadcast at a restaurant just to get the fans fired up. I don't want to give the other team a reason to get fired up and play harder. I am from the Saban school of thought on this topic, but he probably wants to create an atmosphere like Auburn has created at Neville arena, and the best way to do that is to get your minions fired up by saying stuff like Bruce used to say that the fans love.
I'm not sure he's all that concerned with the crowd for the game, maybe wanted a fun soundbite for those in attendance at Gator Talk. The O'Dome is always sold out, and always raucous especially for SEC games. TG doesn't hold back his thoughts, always forthright in his interviews and press conferences. Don't think he's a fan of the situation and let it be down.

Florida wasn’t a powerhouse by any means last season.
Not sure how you came to this conclusion, but it flies in the face of all the metrics and results on the court - including a national championship.
quote:
Anyone know why next weeks Bama at Florida game is on Sunday instead of Saturday?
The league started doing that to maximize viewership since it is the Sunday before the Super Bowl and there's no pro football games to compete with.
