David isn't too smart, regardless of being in a coma for the 2025 season. He also really needs to learn when the hyphen (or is it an en dash?) is appropriate.

No real stadium? Hosts CFP and natty games annually, as well as Super Bowls. Not that Gators ever play in any of those games.

A soccer[-]field practice setup? I wasn't aware that soccer[-]fields cost $100 million and included a 162,000 sq. ft. football operations center and two turf fields.

A two[-]decade relevance drought? Speaking of relevance, why are the last 20 years of mediocrity relevant? If you want to discuss non sequiturs, why would the Gators get any recruits when they've had six losing seasons over the past two decades? SIX! And they've fired four coaches in a row! FOUR! Why would any recruit go there?!?

An off-campus environment that makes downtown Atlanta look like a retreat unless the direct deposit is elite? So that's why College Gameday came to that environment last year? They haven't visited Gainesville for a football game since.... *checks Google* ... 2019. And I know there was some other big college football game played there too. It broke records for ticket pricing because the demand was so high, but I can't seem to remember...someone want to let David know?

Since 2019? That's even worse when you consider the company who produces CGD also has $$$ invested in the same conference the Gata plays in.

I didn't even understand what he was trying to get at with the last bullet. Coral Gables is paradise. Not only that, you are a six-minute train ride from Brickell and a 20-minute uber from one of the most iconic vacation destinations on the entire planet. Just say Miami is "too urban" or "they don't speak English" and we'll know what you really mean.

He is 100% one of those people who are afraid to go anywhere that isn’t 99% white and believes any area with the slightest bit of diversity is some kind crime infested **** hole. You know, the people who never visit cities but always have an opinion on how bad they are. He should probably look at the per capita crime statistics of Gainesville and compare them to Coral Gables before he makes any more comments about the “off campus” situations.
 
Also, I know some of them have to understand how the recruiting score works. Teams with more commits get bigger scores. So UF technically has the higher rated class simply because they’ve loaded up on three star players.

I know this is Gator Tears, but since we are all CFB fans, I have a great story from that day. After the Gameday show was over, we were walking from the stadium back over to our MBA tailgate by the main library. Two things y'all need to know: 1) Gators were playing South Carolina, and 2) yes, I was wearing Florida MBA gear (Y'all can hate all you want, I think you know where my loyalty lies, but I lived my MBA experience to the fullest and enjoyed my two years there, and I also was one of those types of students who gets very involved so I was on the tailgate committee. I also made it very clear to everyone that Canes always came first and wore tons of Canes gear around Gainesville.)

Anyway, as we're walking, two very tiny elderly women came up to us, looking quite hesitant and wide-eyed. They were adorable but had to be at least 85 years old. Probably 90s. They were completely decked out in Gamecocks gear, head-to-toe, with tons of Gamecocks accessories, jewelry, handbags, and everything. We asked them if they needed any help, and they asked, practically in a whisper, "Can you please take us to the Steve Spurrier statue?" We laughed and said of course we could, and they got so excited that they hugged each other and started giggling like two little schoolgirls.

So we walked around the stadium with them and took them to the Spurrier statue, and offered to take pictures for them. I'm not sure I've ever seen any older women that excited in my life. It was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen. They couldn't stop thanking us over and over and hugged us too. It was so wholesome and a really great memory that my husband and I still talk about. 😍
