This post is laughable on many fronts.

I don't recall anyone here trying to say USF had come close to what UF has done to date-- we haven't. What we have done is pretty **** good-- regardless of the troubles this and last season.

Any fan worth a **** understands that you are not always going to be successful on the field every year. As long as we keep our core values intact, continue to recruit the best we can, and hope for better results on the field-- not much more can be expected from a program seriously lacking the coin the larger schools already have and continue to add to.

To me-- the problem is our guys just aren't getting it done on the field. You can be an offensive genius but if a player can't catch a pass or a QB can't throw to an open receiver or your defense has lapses in coverage/tackling-- well-- you are going to lose. The fact is that despite having some fairly bad performances this season, we have been in all games except for two. Those two were against highly rated teams IMO. The difference between now and three years ago is WHO we are playing on a consistent basis along with the talent level/experience of the players we are putting on the field. We can bash the lack of QB recruiting until we are blue in the face. It won't help matters much to revisit that situation and if you believe we haven't taken care of that by attracting some nice recruits in Carlton Hill, Matt Grothe and even transfer Denson-- well-- have fun with that.

I would much rather focus on what lies ahead of us-- a tough schedule all things considered. Our team needs to get itself back on track and just go out there and get the job done. No excuses-- we either perform or we will lose more games this year. I'm certain the palyers and coaches understand this.

For the person who started this post-- I can only guess you are a troll for two reasons. Most Gator fans could care less what is going on at USF and those that do care probably would not use UF's past success as some indicator that are head coach is not getting his job done as best as he can. Leavitt would be the first to admit that he is not happy with the results this year-- as he should be. But as long as we are keeping it real here-- how many of us really htought this team was going to dominate a bunch of games based on last years offensive output and the many leaders we lost on defense?

Anyway-- someone will no doubt make some bold statement about how I'm telling people they can't ***** about the team. My point is that some folks just have a skewed vision of what is going on with the program. They are not looking ahead to how this experience only helps us going forward in terms of the young talent getting on the field and gaining necessary experience.

The reference to criminal behavior is flat out ridiculous. We are by no means very bad in that respect compared to other schools IMO.

ok-- slam away MikeG haters.

For the record . . . UF football is defined by a long legacy of mediocrity.  With the exception of the Spurrier era, the Gators have always done less with more than most other schools.  All these 'bandwagon' Gator fans seem to forget their history of sucking.  I saw the Zook era as a return to normalcy.

By the way, I consider the 1997 Gators to be co-champs.
