This

I do think that the mopes are a little more extreme….(When we miss it's an all out race for grown men to run to a keyboard and just let every bit of hate and negativity spew post after post…So funny to watch) . But yup neither side is objective

Like think about it. People are actually being somewhat reasonable here. They’re accepting that if the NIL isn’t as competitive as it needs to be for players then there’s only so much Mario can do. And because the school isn’t being put on a pedestal regarding its NIL, these same slurpers are looking to attack people over it.

Like you can’t have a conversation without that threat? Nah… I’m going to clip them. They’re the problem.

So Is that how you see this? You see all these people simply saying only so much Mario can do? Cause what I've seen is cristobum & oh no we suck again & Mario getting put in a box & questioning if he was the right hire & if he's on the hot seat or should be fired after having anything less than 9 wins this season & it's all a foregone conclusion..... Granted we both know how I see these topics and I'm far more into the overall picture being developed here. But from my views I see far more people forcing negativity on anyone than I see slurpers forcing that agenda. But again maybe that's just me because I understand we're gonna have to fight and its not always gonna be amazing, so long as we're going about things internally the right way then I'm good with the lumps. Now focusing on today and Colin. Simply be present. The rest be damned. Let this kid have his moment and be glad we're this big of a part of it. No matter how you THINK this plays out.

This topic isn't simply that clear cut. You guys wanna say slippers are bullying yet no one will say the more are as well. It's simply well it's a fair assessment. No one is capable of objectivity. Even in this moment. Your down to top 3 for a top 10 recruit. Rather than enjoying the moment and the attention it gives the program the quarters of the comments wanna keep bringing up a negative take for THIS MOMENT. Like buddy saying even if we do land him it just makes us 14th ranked class in the country over and over... Like it's clear on here people tend to simply pile on one way or the other and to lump everyone in may not be fair as most simply stay quiet while it's the same group either way who keep posting. Well is it not forcing an agenda for either side then? Why is it only the slurpers that are at issue here? Seems like maybe impartiality is an easier approach. Maybe remember what this program has been since the Larry Coker regime and take the positives where you can. Fine you all haven't SEEN much positive in this cycle as of yet. Acknowledge #1 maybe more is at play then an nil budget. #2 you gotta walk before you run. Even getting eyes on this program IS A POSITIVE for us. It's necessary. Past that let's see how things play out. That's all.

Seems like this is addressed at me, so I’ll respond one time.

I don’t think I said anything wrong personally. I have regurgitated plenty of times that I would be ecstatic to land the #1 edge rusher in the country, a guy straight out of Texas. No one in their right mind should be upset about that.

And yet, I was responding to a poster that said he was going to attack everyone upset about our recruiting class to date should we land Simmons. What’s wrong with being disappointed about having the clear-cut third-best class in the state of Florida, less blue-chip recruits than UCF, and a borderline top 20 class nationally? We have the best recruiter in the state. Especially since you, and plenty of others with a reputation for having information close to the program, reiterates that our NIL is fine? That’s not supposed to be concerning?

I think it’s pretty reasonable, and I get that technically August doesn’t mean anything til December…but the stats showed last year, the summer mattered. A lot. I just don’t want to be left behind or playing catch-up late, putting added pressure on this year’s team to win or else the program is going to tumble back another three years.

So TLDR…Simmons absolutely matters and if we land him, it should be treated as the biggest win to date in this year’s recruiting class. But it doesn’t mean Mario has everything right where we want it to be - there’s more work to do at key positions. I guarantee if you ask him if he’s satisfied with this class to date, he’d give you an emphatic **** no.

Was Fong the one that put in the UT prediction?

No he was LSU from last summer. It was the team's 247 people that did it for each school. Then the LSU guy moved it to Texas. Now Ding Dong just said f it.

I will keep repeating it. Dingo Dong was wrong on Scott, Stewart and Bolden. They aint getting shyyt from the kids and handlers.

Simmons recruitment breakdown:

* D$ told us of fireworks this month and that LSU DL coach went out on medical leave
* Simmons and his mom LOVED Coach JT on OFV
* Wiltfong "nukes his CB" on the day of recruitment and talks more Miami smoke

1+2=3

Simmons is a CANE! 🥃

There's also the (supposed) leaked commitment video. Still think he goes Longhorn.

You are going against perhaps the top bag school in the history of the game with NIL and under the table "black gold".

You bring up a couple guys, one of whom pushes it to a degree, who make an idiotic point talking about a hot seat. I’ve addressed that point on the board. He’s here for the long haul.

Again, there are a few posters who say things that most on here think are ridiculous. So Address those specific posts by those posters when they say stupid ****.

Instead we have people broadly threatening anyone who raises any questions about what’s hurting us this year, like is it NIL? That’s normal. I get that you don’t like it or agree with it and that’s fine. As I said, they will be dealt with if they try us.
