I love the 'enormous demographic advantage' excuse. there are two other all-time top 15 programs in our state. you might as well cut the florida into thirds. and each cut would be considerably smaller than, say, the state of tennessee. a solid number of recruits also come from out of state. and many recruits in florida, believe it or not, go to school out of state. what's next- floridas high amounts of sunshine coupled with steady summer rain is the reason florida hs kids are great at football and thats unfair to the rest of the SEC?

A) You could cut Florida into three pieces and each of them would still have more people than the states of Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Georgia's the only other SEC state that has even half as many people.

B) Miami and FSU have conveniently sucked out loud for Meyer's entire tenure.

C) I'm not saying this as an "excuse"; I'm stating a fact. Bear Bryant famously called Florida a "sleeeping giant," and that "when they find the right coach down there, the rest of us will be playing for second" (paraphrase). This was back when you guys were awful and high school football hadn't even taken off down there. He just recognized that the demographics were such that Florida ought to be a whole lot better than it had historically been.

I'm not saying that you guys are destined to win every year or anything, merely that Florida produces so many good high school players that it would take a really crummy coach for you guys not to be competitive every year. And that's not likely to happen while Jeremy Foley's still alive.

I'm not sure what the discussion is about, this is the same thing that any of us would say after a big raise at work. And just like the rest of us, i'm sure he would listen if somebody else came calling with a bigger money bag.

You are growing on me. I think there might actually be a rival fan worthy of intelligent exchange underneath the verbose, obnoxious exterior. I get glimpses of it from time to time.

Genital warts grow on you, too.

You realize there is not cure for that, right?

Kind of like there's no cure for being a Florida fan. Well that's not entirely accurate. There is a cure, but Florida fans are just too dim to want it. :) But yeah, you're probably the number two most "liked" gator fan on the site. (After lawgator of course)

Yeah well I'd rather have these two guys around than some of the Florida fans I've seen. :crazy: At least they stir up some stuff from time to time and give us an opponent's perspective. :dunno:
