Yeah but it's also a shot at early retirement if he makes it. Yeah but making it is such a long shot. He doesn't have generational talent by any stretch - elite speed, above average arm, slightly above average hitting, average power. He has some local contemporaries who do have such talent - the ol...

Ya that's me. Fort Myers bound, baby! We may end up doing a mini-vacation in FL before Christmas that will make the drive more palatable but there's no way we can be back for the Peach Bowl unless we leave Fort Myers in the middle of the night.

This whole baseball recruiting thing sucks anyway.

And now that the perception is Malzahn is captain of a sinking ship, it's going to be harder to get a top flight DC to replace him. The rumor has it that AU wants our DC, Charles Kelly, but unless they're willing to pay out the butt I don't think he makes a short-sighted decision to jump. FSU fans w...

AA, you're a prosefessional.

Shaddup and KYR, Rat.

The team that got punished by Tex-ass and damn near lost to the Vols? OK.

They inquired but there were no "negotiations" according to LSU. Doesn't matter, Jimbo stays where he belongs for now and Les wins the SEC next year.

True. A four-score victory by FSU is a struggle.

I remember our "down to the wire", 43-3 struggle over Wake Forest last year.

As much as it would pain me for UF to win the SEC (though it's sweeter after stomping them), I would love the SEC to get shut out just for the chaos (no offense, AA, I actually sorta like Bama). However I will say that I heard Todd McShay promoting the idea that UF absolutely must make the playoffs ...

Heard Eason is strongly considering following richt to the u I would be surprised if that happened. Richt is not Lane Kiffin and I doubt he'll be poaching recruits. UM also already has a highly rated QB in that class. I think Eason ends up at UF before UM, though it would be funny if UF's sudden pu...

It would work logistically but personality-wise it would be interesting. Pruitt has definitely burned bridges at FSU and UGA with his attitude and behavior; I don't know if he did the same when he left Bama. He's a good coach and a great recruiter but it seems he's kind of a dick. I think Smart => U...

I LOL'ed during the game when the announcers were gushing about our D-lineman reaching up to tip a pass, then in the replay it was obvious it hit him in the shoulder pads. Harris was awful in this game (he was pretty good against LSU, the only other Harris game I saw this year), but he can definitel...

2/3 of my post was about Franks...so thanks for the update?

We have a qb committed from Texas. Task I s his name. Anyone know anything about him? He has to be better than Harris. Hope he comes early. I know you picked up Feleipe Franks from Crawfordville, not from Texas. He's very highly rated, and was part of LSU's #1 class until he decommitted during the ...

Good win, Heels. I really thought NCSU would pull this one off but that UNC offense is downright Baylor-esque. Whoda thunk 3 ACC teams in the Top 10 (plus pseudo-ACC member Notre Dame) heading into December, and only one SEC team?

Treon was horrific. Taylor and the defense were excellent, but the offensive ineptitude led to the defense giving up in the 4th quarter which is when Cook got all his yards. That's the first time we've won 3 in a row in the Swamp. We are a QB away from being a playoff contender in '16...maybe Maguir...

Nailed it.

Hell, Miami fans loved to call Jimbo "Four Loss Fisher" before the run of the last 3 years. A LOT of it is luck and timing - UGA always seemed to have a great defense and no QB, or a great RB and defense but no QB, or a great QB and porous defense. Les Miles' problem seems to be so many ki...

Harris originally commited to FSU but at the time we had 4 QBs in that class so Jimbo encouraged him to explore his options. His father is the legendary HS coach "Ice" Harris, who Miami hired hoping he could bring Miami area recruits. It hasn't happened. Ironically, UF is now recruiting Jo...

I think we should, but we've been so unbelievably bad offensively on the road. It's like two different teams. Of course, two of the teams have been Boston College and Clemson, both of which are in the Top 5 defensively (using opponent adjusted stats). UF is sixth. And I feel much better with Maguire...
