You aren't young enough to say they've been competitive unless you are 17 or under.BAD BEHAVIOR wrote:Until Spurrier, Florida was always a 2nd class program. Without Spurrier, it is fast returning to its former status.
MD , I hope you dont actually believe that. Meyer is a very good coach and I believe he will continue the winning tradition at UF. Again , I hate that I dont have the wisdom of age to know when UF was a second class program, but as long as Ive been alive theyve been very competitve. I could very easily say that UGA hasnt been a force since Dooly but they have had some good teams in the years since. We had our Zook, ya'll had your Goff and I think we can both be happy we have who we do as they are both fine coaches and should keep the rivalry a little more competitive in the years to come. Its refreshing to see UGA win again, now maybe I can keep my tickets next year instead of donating them as maybe UGA will be more competitive! I so look forward to next year.
We owned Florida under Dooley. We were not competitive under Goofy with anyone. We were competitive under Donovan, who would have been a good coach if he just understood discipline and scheduling, such as making sure Florida didn't always have the bye week before our games.
First there was Pell...oh well, he was pretty goofy in trying to get away with all the cheating and he still wasn't all that competitive. Then the evil genius, Spurrier. Spurrier out coached our coaches from the game scheduling (he started the bye week for Fl before the UGA/FL game) and during the games. Spurrier owned us. Zook was way better than Goofy...in fact, Urban success has been with Zook's players, not his own. It is for this reason it looks like a slide is coming....again.
Remember...2 out of the last 4 and one of the two loses was a gimme (by only a few points) because Shockley was hurt and could not play at all. All of the facts show the tide is turning against the Gators.
