I love Butch but he has lost to two consecutive Florida teams in years where he had more talent.
"A strong FSU and Miami has no bearing on our recruiting"
said every gator fan
FSU - 2
UF - 16
Miami - 18
Playing against and losing to a good FSU team does impact your total capabilities in recruiting and in Championship pursuit. You presently stack up in recruitimg more closely with Miami than FSU. Yes you could all be "good" but the better your peers get the harder the challenge.FSU signed 25 players today. 11 were from the state of Florida.
I think everyone would agree FSU has been the dominant team in the state since 2010.
Last season, Florida won 10 and played for a conference title.
FSU can't keep Florida from being good and vice versa. S. Manuel aside, FSU was not really a thorn in Florida's side this recruiting cycle
2009 - You didn't blow us out Gator! Moral Victory!!!
2010 - If that fake punt didn't work...
2011 - If Justin Hunter doesn't injure his knee...
2012 - If Sunseri wasn't our DC...
2013 - If Worley started instead of Peterman...
2014 - If Dobbs started instead of Worley...
2015 - Take your pick.
If Butch goes for two...
If Butch had blitzed on 4th and 14...
If Grier wasn't hopped up on cocaine, bath salts and Dianabol...
If, in spite of all that other nonsense, Medley makes the freaking FG...
