Teams Currently ahead of Florida in recruiting

[Volz4lif3]

Pretty sad we can really only talk smack with Vandy.. Hope that will change very soon..

 

[99gator]

You sound like our fans back when we had beaten Bama 7 years in a row under CPF or maybe the Michigan fans back when OSU couldn't beat them ever.

Things change.

Sorry guy, but with FSU and Miami getting stronger your team just doesn't have any hype now. Your hire says a lot about who you are now.

The last time Tennessee beat Florida.....

George W. Bush was President and running for re-election.

Bill Haslem was the Mayor of Knoxville.

Phil Bredesen was the Governor of Tennessee.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was the #1 movie at the box office.

"Goodies" by Ciara was #1 on the Pop Billboard charts.

"Days Go By" by Keith Urban was #1 on the Country Charts.

In 2004, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

Facebook was launched in 2004. Twitter didn't exist. Neither did instagram.

Windows XP was the most recent program. Windows Vista had not been launched yet.

Playstation 2 was the most up to date video gaming system available from Sony.

Jim McElwain was the WR coach at Michigan State.

Butch Jones was the offensive coordinator at Central Michigan.

Josh Dobbs was in the first grade.

Tim Tebow suffered a broken fibula during his junior season at Nease High School.

Peyton Manning turned 28 years old, won his 2nd NFL MVP award, broke Dan Marion's record for most touchdown passes in a season (49) and had yet to make it to the Super Bowl.

The New England Patriots were Super Bowl Champions.

The Detroit Pistons were NBA Champions.

The Boston Red Sox became World Series Champions and won the World Series later in 2004 for the first time since 1918.

Plenty.

How much stuff has happened in over the last 30 years and Florida has owned the series?

Coaches, stadium turf, seating capacity, school logos, players, etc, etc, etc, have changed and in some cases on numerous occasions.

There's a lot of "lol" going on about what's going on at Florida and if you want to take a shot at a guy who's had the job all of 5 minutes.....that's cool.

All I know about Butch Jones is....(a) he couldn't beat Florida when Georgia Southern could (b) couldn't beat Florida when coached by Will Muschamp (c) was dumb enough to start Nathan Peterman over Josh Dobbs not once, but twice.

Well now hold on just a sec. Miami is not getting stronger. If anything they are going backward. FSU has been incredible at recruiting. But there are some other shoes yet to drop up there. Don't be surprised if in 2-3 years they are in major turmoil.

As to our new coach, you've not been in a position to talk smack about that. We'll see how he does. And this class, even if it comes in so low, is hardly his fault.

Post-season recruiting smack in the face of a 10-game losing streak.

Brilliant.

It's all we have

Awesome sauce.

It will almost be refreshing when UT fans can taunt UF fans over something other than losing to teams not named Tennessee, lunatic head coaches, poor recruiting classes or two linemen blocking each other.

I mean damn...you have to beat us one of these years right?

This is all valid points to bring up in this thread about your embarrassing recruiting class. I'm glad you took the time to point all this out since so many people were arguing about whether or not Florida is on a winning streak against UT......

Embarrassing is never beating a Will Muschamp coached football team in four attempts.

Hell, Georgia Southern only needed one.

We call this a "straw man" argument

This entire thread is made of straw then.

What's the point of ripping a rival's recruiting class when that rival's winning streak against you is old enough to be in the 5th grade?

It's like Whoopi Goldberg ripping Heidi Klum for having a bad hair day.

Let's flip the script...Tennessee's beaten UF 10 years in a row with some of its worst teams in recent memory.

A Florida fan, coming off 3 straight losing seasons and a bowl win over an Iowa team with less team speed than Brentwood Academy, starts ripping into UT's recruiting class.

How do you respond?

[joevol33]

So was Team 118 lol

Yea, but with team 118+team119, that's team 237 and together they'll end the streak!

 

[ArmyVol697]

Just checked rivals and noticed the Vols are ranked no. 5 and that the Gators are at no. 99. WOW.

Does anyone ever remember the vols being so lowly ranked? Even with all of our coaching turnover, I don't remember any such time we were that low.

Two programs moving in opposite directions.

Florida will get guys and move up. The best thing for Tennessee is fsu being good it hurts florida.

Thanks, im gonna throw up now.

 

[jkleno]

I am ready to settle this on the field. I could care less what Florida is ranked. I just want to beat their *sses!

 

[FLVOL_79]

Have they hired a new coach yet or what?...

It's obvious you don't know what a "straw man" argument is. To make it easier to understand for you, you're trying to derail the point of the thread by pointing out something that is completely irrelevant. If you knew how to argue, which I doubt..... because I'm assuming you're from Florida.... you would see how whiney and butthurt you sound and how illogical your rebuttal is.

As for my response if the "script was flipped" I would probably try to find examples of when my team had poor recruiting classes in the past and still managed to get by. Or other programs that rarely recruit well but stay relevant.

You chose the butthurt route instead. Explain to me how your 10 year winning streak against the worst decade in the history of UT football has anything to do with your pathetic recruiting class, which is undoubtedly the first major indicator of the dumpster fire that is soon to be Florida Gators Football.

I am hoping they hit triple digits myself.

 

[VolnJC]

Michigan is #101..right below Wyoming

I have felt their pain for a decade.:cray: Bama is next, I'm hoping

They will crack the top 30 by signing day. The name alone will pull top 30. If not, they need to go ahead and fire Whatshisname and start over because FL should always be that high at least just on reputation alone.

But if they don't, I certainly will not feel sorry for them. Reptilian Bastards.
