Florida has some work to do to climb into the top 10, as Florida and Stanford are the only two teams to be ranked top 10 every year of the award.

Jum Morris
Tom Petty
Ray Charles
Ronnie Van Zant

Just to name a few

No HS football player is making an NFL roster without going to college.


Eric Swan was ruled acedenicly ineligible to play in college. He never played a minute of a college sport and was a frist round draft pick, number 6th over all and 2 time pro-bowler.
I have been blessed with a great father who loves sports and has taken me to so many great games. I am now taking him.

I have been to all of the Gators NC winning games. Almost 40 years of Gator home games so have seen, Tebow jump pass, cock-block game, Swindle in the swamp(that changed college football forever), so many last minute wins over the Vols.

Game 7 of the 08 ALCS to see the Rays go to their first Workd Series. A couple of Lightning Stanley cup games.

But the greatest moment for me was watching a young gymnastics lady who broke her back be able to come to the gym I was a coach at and do a cart wheel once again. The joy and tears will stay with me forever.

Prayers need to go out to all on FSU campus and connected

If you can please consider donating blood in the next few days.

You are wrong on little programs liking it. The 25 to 50 is programs maybe but the rest no. You think 40 years ago Brett Farve would have stayed at Southern Miss or would he have bolted to Bama OSU or the like?

You think FAU basketball liked loosing all 5 of the final 4 2024 team starters to the portal? If so you are insane. They all wanted the money and FAU could not match.
The biggest problem is the portal with no repercussions. That alone is not a problem but that with the NIL has created a massive problem. We have the equivalent of the MLB players becoming free agents after every season.

Keep the four years of play but get ride of the 5 years to play 4 and put a year sit out if you transfer in the first two years. Have a free transfer after 2 years at a college and then you need to stay 2 years again to earn another transfer.

Then again you would need a board that had authority. NCAA has lost theirs.
One teams only trophy is eligible for Social Secuirty.
High end players will have schools by the short hairs. Teams counting on a returing QB and he wants more money will probably get more money.

You are correct sad state. It is like if the NFL was only allowing 9 month contracts and then free agency every off season. It is crazy.
Orange bowl not even close to being the biggest non SEC sporting event in Florida.

Daytona 500
Miami international tennis open
The pga players
12 hours of sebring

All have more attendance.
Like Pnahandleslim said, it depends on your age. I am old school Gator and can not stand UGA. How could we not hate a school who put their whole team on ROTC just to keep them playing and get a National Trophy when all other schools teams went to fight in WW2.

Young fans all will say FSU cause they do not remember the days when FSU was just the annoying little sister that we had to play.

What fan base I hate the most is Miami. They are scum who have zero to do with school other then wearing a U. Actual Minami alumni aren't bad, but their fans usually have a curfew to get their ankle back home.

21st Everything School

Posted by GobyGator on 4/9/25 at 4:52 pm
Been seeing a lot of talk about which school is the everything school lately. Usually, it is from Tennessee fans, but a few others, Alabama, LSU, and Arkansas, have chimed in. Compiled the number of National championship teams and academic ranking for all the SEC and a few other schools to compare.

(2000-2025)
University - Academic Ranking - National Championships(Major 3 Sports)
Missouri - 109 - 0 NC (I am usually a defender of Mizzou in SEC but that may end)
Miss State - 214 - 1 NC(1)
Ole Miss - 171 - 2 NC(1)
Vanderbilt - 18 - 6 NC(2)
Kentucky - 152 - 6 NC(1)
Tennessee - 109 - 7 NC(1)"A lots of talk for small amount of trophies"
Alabama - 171 - 13 NC(6)
South Carolina - 121 - 14 NC(2)
Texas A&M - 51 - 15 NC(0)
Arkansas - 189 - 18 NC(0)
LSU - 179 - 20 NC(6)
Auburn - 105 - 20 NC(1)
Oklahoma - 132 - 25 NC(1)
Texas - 30 - 29 NC(3)
Georgia - 46 - 33 NC(2)
Florida - 30 - 33 NC(6)

Compared to a few schools out of the SEC.

Michigan - 21 - 8 NC(1)
UNC - 27 - 24 NC(3)
Stanford - 4 - 52 NC(0)* Has 34 Teams compared to most SEC schools have under 20 teams)

Think Gators have a good argument as the everything school.
It is awesome and all thanks to our biggest rival Georgia for taking Mike White off our hands.

Not much, he has the most Minutes played by any Tiger basketball player over 1000 minutes played. Auburn has only played 254 mins with out him on the court all season.

Hang those preseason #! banner. Forge that Sears NCAA Elite eight ring, make sure you put 4 out of 20 made shots on the side of it.
Ummm, they are the number 1 overall seed. Bama was a 2 seed, rightfully so. Yes, they should have an easier run than Bama.
