The point is simple - every win recognized by the NCAA is counted... for both... period. It's a non-issue.

Thanks; that's pretty much what I had gathered via context, but until the glossary gets published, I didn't know for sure. :)

TC, sounds like the same guy that was having trouble understanding an invoice to pay, so he called his secretary and said since you're a ATM grad...if I gave you $ 2,000.00 minus 14%..how much would you take off....she said " everything except my earrings "

Sorry Kev, no more off the subject lingo.....

I'm going to assume that Kevin was not singling me out when he requested we stay. "in line with the OP". I could be wrong, but I'd at least like to think he expects everybody to follow his rules, and that he doesn't play favorites. So until such time as the OP is about which current college football team in Florida is the runaway winner in numbers of players arrested, that is the time your Florida Gators can legitimately enter into the discussion.

I'm gonna ask you to PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF PUPPIES stick to the topic at hand in the OP. I don't know how you got so far afield as to sully the three most notable football programs in the state of Florida... but that is not in line with the OP.

If you have more to contribute about the original post... have at it

Olde:

This may come as a surpirse, but not only am I a UF alumnus, but...

...my BROTHER is a UM alumnus as well (that's why I'm so well versed in picking them apart--sibling rivalry!)--so as much as I may berate "da U", I actually happen to like the 'canes...

Now, to your point: Yes, as an alum, I am concerened by these trends which basically began under Zook. A big part of letting Zook go and going after Meyer, was the former's lack of control, versus the latter's reputation for discipline and keeping his kids in order. It has been an unpleasant surprise to hear our players continuing to get into trouble, but no matter how you slice it, you have to take each kid and each case indivudually. There have been a few incidents where Meyer gave 'em a 2nd chance where I didn't think one was warranted (e.g. R.Wilson); a few panned out well (Tony Joiner, CI); a few have not (R.Wilson, J.Hornsby).

So yeah, UF has a problem; but I think Meyer is handling it fairly well, if not as well as desired...and ultimately, you have to defer to the Coach--and when a Coach brings a couple of SEC rings, NC's, and a H'man trophy---well, that builds up the Coach's good-will with the Alumni and boosters, and increases his margin of error.

That's life; you reap what you sow, and all harvests will have their weeds, and the like. The one's that poison the take though, are the one that WERE NOT WEEDED OUT before the harvest, but allowed to remain with it--and in some cases, over power the very nature of the harvest itself...

....which brings us full circle to your gripe about the U's image, and why I mention the "iconic" figures associated with each program: fortunately for UF, many of our "thugs" have been lost in the light of the good-will built up by the likes of Steve Spurrier, Danny Wuerffel, Emmitt Smith, and Tim Tebow--unfortunately for Miami, many of their character guys have been lost in the shadows cast by the likes of Ray Lewis, Michael Irvin and J. Shockey.

In other words, it's not necessarily the frequency, nor even the gravity of offenses which occur within a program--nor the quality or quantity of merits--but the prominance of the characters responsible for either, which carries the greater weight in defining the "image" of a program.

Se la vie.

GO GATORS!!

If you are actually an alumnus of UF, you should be concerned that your school's football program has far and away, more thugs than any college in America , and that you have a coach who fosters that type of individual.

Old-E:

"...I know as a Gator, your vocabulary of multi-syllabic words is limited...'

Don't you wish it were so.

You haven't impressed anyone with your mastery of the English language; you've only impressed with your vitriol and immaturity.

(how 'bout them "multi-syllabic" words, prof?)

LMAO!!

Look Zac Bowden could coach my team if he wanted- whats really funny about all this stuff is that I personally think that Jimmy Johnson is one of the best ever- college or pro- Johnson vs Switzer? Johnson wins air attack vs grind it out on the ground.

Hey Buddy and I mean the term lightly- I do not condone any inappropriate behavior-period. I have a very high standard of ethics and morals. Look some teachers or tutors helped some boys with some danged on-line music lessons- big frigging deal. so what
The coaching staff was probably not aware of any infraction- contrary to what you might what to believe. Once the minor infraction was discovered the university did everything it was supposed to do, and reported the so-called violation to the NCAA- Big Deal ?? no I mean it aint like stomping on peoples heads on nationwide T.V. actions which you try to defend- appalling.
Look man I don't have a dog in the fight and could care less- You obviously have somekind of thing against coach Bowden- which is okay by me I dont give a sh-t. Why don't you bring up one player that committed serious crimes twenty years ago- ya that might help your argument- Is That the best you can do -give it a break dude
Adios Hookem God Bless coach Bowden
