Here it is again with their crazyass obsession with Miami. This guy is going to stop watching college football ONLY if the Canes get good. His beloved gators were on top of the world in 2006-2008 and had been the dominant team in the SEC for almost 20 years when suddenly Nick Saban and his NCAA cheatin' buddy Emmert come along and almost instantly and brutally smack the gators off the top of the mountain and proceed to flaunt it in their face, cheatin' all the way for the next 12 years. Meanwhile, the hated dawgs, recruiting the same way, also rise to dominance, further pushing the gator to irrelevance. But after enduring all that misery and humiliation for years, it's only IF Miami becomes elite that he'll stop watching college football.

Right now there are 6 current and future members of their own conference that are ahead of them in the recruiting rankings, but Miami getting talent is where they draw the I-can't-take-this-anymore line.

The object is to win games, not recruiting titles. I get it that acquiring talent usually leads to winning games but there’s quite a few teams that have been recruiting at a top 10 level for a long time that have won nothing. You need to actually coach teams too. What good is signing recruits if you’re not actually winning games?

But I’ll leave it at that since this isn’t the thread for this topic. Let’s keep winning the off season and enjoying gator failure.

Texas has had three top 5 classes in the last 5 years. Two were ranked #3 overall one was #5 overall. They have an overall record of 38-23 over that time period.

Texas A&M has had two top 5 classes over the same period including the top class overall in 2022. They also have finishes 6th and 9th during that time period. They have an overall record of 39-21 over that same period.

You can recruit at an elite level and still be a very average program. I’m not saying recruiting doesn’t matter because of course it does. I’m saying good recruiting + poor coaching = mediocre results.

I appreciate your post, but the turds have never been dominant in the SEC for a 20 year period. Like ever.

In fact, their history is one of abject futility, only interspersed in the last few couple of decades, with finally winning some championships, in conference, and otherwise, in the most talent rich state in the country.

What? They were like 100 years in the SEC before they won their first SEC conference championship, again in the most talent rich and fertile recruiting area in the country. As the biggest and most well-known university in the state. It’s an absolute joke, they should’ve won 10 times what they won with the talent in this state.

They are the very definition of futility, and have no match in being chronic underachievers.

Maybe I oversold it a bit in trying to contrast how a gator would feel about those years compared to what's happened since, but from 90-08 they were best in the sec 9 times. No one else had more than 3 during that period, so their subsequent fall into irrelevancy has to have been harsh to anyone who'd convinced himself that those years were some sort of natural order of things. Because as you say, they've certainly underachieved before and since.

Name another school outside the SEC that’s consistently had top ten classes but have sucked

Now name a school that’s consistently recruited poorly and had good coaching but continued to have poor results on the field

Genius claims Cormani was second guessing Miami and reached out to UF but they turned him down. Pretty sad at this point, I ALMOST feel bad for them. F*ck em tho.

I mean we’ve had some pretty delusional moments over the years. I can’t imagine even thinking, “Dalvin Cook regrets his FSU decision and reached out to the staff, but they turned him down.” That’s next level crazy. Yeah, let’s turn down an elite CB because our feelings got hurt. After spending thousands over the years to recruit him. Makes sense.

Man this salty delusion is reaching new heights. Any further and they’re the cyber version of a battered loon at the psych ward staring out the window all day, fidgeting a Gators coin and muttering “Ruiz!” and “Flagship!” erratically.
 
Man I’ve Been out for a couple days dealing with stuff including tornados bouncing all around me but having read the last 8-9 pages I want to thank GordonSolie for all the screenshots (I’m sure RVA appreciates the help and the break ) but especially the **** fans cause they never fail to deliver stupidity to the enth degree of delusional belief that the universe revolves around Hogtown USA.

Can’t wait for ESD cause we all will need scuba gear cause the tears that are coming that day will have us all swimming in 15-20 ft of tears….make preparations fellas cause it’s only 5 days away.

I wouldn't use Texas and Texas A&M as examples. You recruit in the Top 5 constantly, you win games. Sark improved Texas from year 1 to Year 2, and I expect them to run the Big 12 next season. This was Ewers first season in the system, and if he isn't any good Arch is taken over. Texas A & M has the same problem LSU had before hiring Joe Brady. Old tired offense that played slow. If Jimbo gives up play calling, and go more modern, A&M will start to destroy teams. They beat LSU and competed with Bama despite playing 1950's football. I don't see how we lose, recruiting like this, and playing modern football.

Bad offensive line play (Texas at times) and bad quarterback play (Texas for many years prior to 2022) can hinder an otherwise good team.
