re: The Most Loyal Fan Bases in the SEC, ranked 1 through 16
Posted by brambo on 5/6/26 at 7:17 am to Old School Tex
Somehow Florida is on a 18 or 19 home game sellout streak during the worst coaching tenure since World War One. That has to count for something.

re: No troll...UF fans how do you feel about Jon Sumrall? He's an odd guy

I like him. I hope he does well. He's not like Napier at all. I would describe him as something between Meyer and Muschamp. He doesn't give the impression that he will be like McElwain/Napier and just say "Aw shucks! At least we tried" after losses. He's certainly committed.
He's also the first coach since Meyer that looks like he could end up screwing a few people's wives, if he wanted to, before his tenure is up. It is an energy that hasn't been around the football program in quite a while. The previous three Florida coaches all looked like they got bullied in school.

The Director’s Cup is what it is. But in a perfect world it would be weighted. It won’t be, but there is no way the average fan considers women’s rowing or tennis to be as important as football or basketball. But the directors cup doe
I agree. The fact it wasn’t weighted is why Florida AD Foley decided to autocastrate the athletic department to plow the football money into nearly meaningless sports. Trying for the cup is a vanity project no one cared about except him and half a dozen other athletic directors around the country. But, those are his peers. Killing football is a small price to pay if you only value the cup.
re: How Much of Miami’s NIL Fund Is Drug Money?

They certainly did. None of those schools were relevant until the late 70s. Between 1950 and 1975 the three teams combined for zero 10 win seasons, zero conference championships, and zero national championships.
Between 1976 and 2000, they combined for 36 10 win seasons, 25 conference championships, and 7 national championships. Florida won 8 conference championships and 1 national championship. Florida State won 9 conference championships and 2 national championships. And Miami won 8 conference championships and 4 national championships.
Maybe it wasn’t causative, but there sure was a correlation between the rise of the cocaine cowboy and Florida based college football.
The football and the drugs are all downstream from the land rush caused by air conditioning becoming affordable.

John Ruiz has been their biggest donor as the CEO of LifeWallet/MSP Recovery. His company had a 32.6 billion dollar enterprise value. The market cap is currently half a million dollars and has been delisted from Nasdaq. The share price is 0.0360 as I type this. With all the reverse splits, in 2021 the share price was over 50,000 dollars. So that's a 99.9999% reduction in share price. I don't know how he isn't in jail. But, the other SEC investigated him and nothing came of it.
As everything crashed and burned around him, he kept paying for athletes using his company. So, there's the blueprint for you guys. Just create a 32.6b EV company, spend all the company's money paying athletes, and let the shareholders get railed as it crashes and burns. Then, walk away seemingly without penalty.

They’re too addled by politics to know or care what the difference is. The timeline for the film Idiocracy was overly optimistic.
I don’t know how to quantify and rate things like this. In 4 seasons I don’t believe Napier ever won a road game against a team with more than 4 wins on the year. But, he definitely upset some much better teams at home. So I’d say the stadium has effectively “won” some games they shouldn’t have.
re: What kind of celebration is this, Gators?

They need to eject or suspend people after they do things like this, or it is just going to keep getting worse. College sports are still a family outing for the most part.
Wisconsin has everyone down here beat and it isn't even close.

I wish I gave a shite about basketball to fully enjoy posts like these. The person counting sounds pretty mad.
It required some luck last year, and it will require some luck this year. But it is at least possible and that is about as much as can be hoped for.
re: RIP in Peace Gus Bus
Posted by brambo on 2/2/26 at 12:10 pm to AshleySchaeffer
Gus had a very positive impact on the FSU offense. Passing went from like 180 yards per game to 250. Rushing went from 2.9 per carry to 5.2. Gus probably saved Norvell just as much as the buyout did.
Next season is going to be hilarious.

re: NCAA Lied about NIL. College Sports are More Popular Than Ever
Posted by brambo on 1/27/26 at 11:29 am to Old School Tex
College football can get more eyes while still rotting away the foundation. It's like a catapult hurling a stone. After launch the stone keeps getting higher, but theres no longer an upward force being applied to it. These players are using facilities that guys 20 years ago effectively paid for. No one is giving anything to the future anymore. We're in the reverse mortgage era of college football.
This point in the sport reminds me of baseball during the home run record chasing steroid era. It is a spectacle, to be sure. But, it's also the death throes unless something changes for the better.

sending family to scout places out, etc.
Sounds like he was given an ultimatum before the season ended. So, sending family out to look at the options seems extremely reasonable to me. It kind of reinforces the point that the rules were different for him.
I don’t care who wins as long as it isn’t Miami. So, I guess that just leaves Indiana.
You guys don’t want the 25 year dormant Miami fans showing up again. They’re the worst group in the sport. You remember that video from earlier this year when Louisville spanked their arse? Some Miami fan got cheapshotted by people coming at him from all angles. They did that to their fellow fans, they’ll do it to you too. Just Canes things…

It took so many decades for the NFL to realize the importance of OL. People want to watch their multimillion dollar athletes go score points. They don’t know how to mentally model a reward mechanism for watching open running lanes and clean pockets.
Half of people are always going to be dumber than average. That’s been Florida’s lot for a while. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

I think this is honestly his most pathetic frick up to date
But he’s 33 now. A&M has stood behind him. That’s his community.
Well now they have an entire offseason to think about what was, what could have been, and how Manziel couldn't even bother showing up after agreeing to. I think this should be the final straw. If I were a fan/booster that had stood behind him, it certainly would be for me. As far as fanbase psychology goes, big losses demand a villain, and he is a candidate. His lack of presence almost certainly didn't affect the outcome, but fan is short for fanatic.

Putting aside him being a Gator homer, he sucks.
If he is, he hides it very well. If anyone gets a pass in the state, it has been Miami in my experience. But I have purposefully avoided him for a long time now. He's just terrible and whenever I see his name mentioned it is always attached to something stupid.

Are you competing for dumbest poster? You do know the coach put together the roster, right?
Anyhow, I think the roster was far better than 4-8.

I've heard nothing about Baugh. You have any source?
That would be the first misstep of the Sumrall regime. He hyped Baugh up in his first press conference. You don't hype a guy up and then let him leave unless the price was extremely higher than his value.
