Who knows what happened here. If they can't charge the guy with anything then what should happen to him? What do you think should happen to him? Lack of evidence is lack of evidence.

More to the story. I'd say there's some significant improvement.

**Not trying to harp on this arrest issue too much, but considering we've documented Florida's legal troubles, it's only fair to provide a couple of facts for background. Most of these facts were provided by the University of Florida.

● Only three arrests from the last three recruiting classes (including 2009)
● At least 14 of the charges were dropped in the 24 cases
● 14 of the 24 player arrests have been from players he did not
recruit or were in his first recruiting class
● The 24 arrests represents 19 different players
● Arrests by recruiting class
Six did not recruit
Eight in first class
Seven in second class
Two in third class
One in fourth class
None in fifth class

And by the way, I'm not an apologist for the problems they have encountered. They should take serious action against the thugs when encountered. Some of them have already been dismissed. Others should be dropped like a hot rock. In the 'olden' days of Spurrier, he would have shown them the door. I think that's the right move rather than 'giving them just one more chance'.

While I'm 100% in agreement that different coaches look for different qualities in their recruits (see Thug U's recent 'inner city' recruiting trends when Shannon took over the reigns), but you can't ignore the fact that all of these arrests happened under Meyer's watch.

Good lord... I've honestly never thought we'd see a RB quite like Barry Sanders again. Well, it appears his son is here to surprise us all. WOW! I can honestly say that Barry always made me think that the reel was playing at 1.5x speed and now you see the same thing with these highlights. HOLY CRAP!

But there is very significant improvement as I've posted. I don't think it's fair to hang the 1st year stuff on him or maybe even the second year stuff. I can only hope this continues. I don't think Urban is going for Thug U. At least I hope not.

My hope? That he has zero arrests next year to go with the championship he's going to win again.

I don't think he's going for Thug U either, I have a lot of respect for Meyers. But I *do* hope this will maybe quiet down IAM4UF and a couple others here who are always crowing about what a clean program Florida has and how dirty everyone else is.

I hope you're right about (the first half of) your hope.

Was he the head coach the first two years? Then he is ultimatly responsible for his players actions.

Yes he was. And yes he is.

Crowing about a clean program can only come back to haunt the one doing the crowing. There are no clean programs. Only 'cleaner' programs. I've always thought that UF was a cleaner program (yes, I'm biased) after Spurrier arrived. Before that? No, UF was not a clean program. They suffered through multiple investigations in the 80's.

It seems that some schools, after winning a championship, tend to get a little lax. It appears that UF falls in this category. I really hope Meyer can get them back on track.

If UF wins their 3rd championship in 4 years, I think that the hatred and the licks against the Gators will continue to come. However, let's face it, Gainesville is close enough to everywhere in Florida that it's a great place to be. The weather is great nearly year round. The girls there are some of the best looking in the nation bar-none. They have a winning tradition going on right now that is equal to or better than the 90s, imo. Recruits are lining up so much that the staff is having to turn away some top-notch players. I don't hear of any bad things going on that could land the team on any sort of probation. The article above hints at the fan base getting tired of the arrests, but honestly I don't think that is the case.

...I'm just glad that Auburn won't have to face Florida in the regular season this year, although we did have the Gators' number in the last two matchups...

They're on a nice run. Many of the sports programs are top notch lately. The UF mens track team came in second recently in Arkansas. The womens softball team made it to the finals. We are enjoying it while we can. It won't last forever.

And I'm glad we're not playing AU as well. Especially at AU. That is always a hard fought game. Has been over the last 25 years or so.

HAH!

Hey Otto, have you seen the latest top 100 list on Rivals? If AU even gets 10 percent of the guys listed, they will have a great class. What is AU doing to attract attention from all these guys? Are they pulling a Kiffin?

UF has the 5th ranked guy committed. And is listed in many others. And judging from the schools listed, it looks like the SEC will have another banner year in recruiting.

Amended after looking at Rivals top 100.

Kiffin put together one of the best recruiting staffs in the nation. I would say that Auburn ranks darn near close to them in the conference. When you can recruit to Knoxville or Auburn, it says a lot about those staffs. Keep in mind that Coaches Luper and Trooper really know how to talk to recruits and they're two of the best in the business (and they can really, really coach, which is more than what most of Kiffin's staff of recruiting coordinators can say). Following the dead period (although the head coach still couldn't be included), we road around the state of Alabama as an entire staff (sans Chizik) in a Hummer limo pulling up in front of high schools to talk with the coaches and potential recruits. It says a lot when two coaches show up in a recruits home. Now imagine seven of them showing up in a limo in front of your school to talk with you (and having all of your friends see that attention being given). Sure, we could hand out money or cars (or scholarships for girlfriends) like the Tide does (LOL!) but lots of public (and legal) attention can also be a home run, as well.

...plus I think it helps that this staff actually cares, which is a huge plus. Considering that we're the current leaders for the #2 and #4 recruits in the nation, both of whom are being recruited by Luper , I believe, I'm quite happy with the potential for results. We were happy with being mentioned by Bryce Brown or Reuban Randel just a couple months ago and now we are atop a LOT of people's lists. Throw that in with a fairly loaded team, a great coaching staff (albeit unproven) and the potential for early playing time in the SEC... we have quite the gold mine on our hands, imo

Ok, so it's not football related, but at least it's sports related. Ana Ivanovic is very hot.

Interesting. Not sure if I agree with all listed. And Bo Jackson should be in it somewhere.

Texas' Vince Young, Earl Campbell*top college football Thrill List - Austin Murphy - SI.com

LOL! Otto, check out Crimson_Fried's comments! Sixth from the top.

Meyer could leave Gators after season | Truth&Rumors | FanNation

Imagine if he would have been put on the CFB list as he should be? He made it on the NFL list and the MLB list. That would have been quite the accomplishment.

7. Bo Jackson

What's a career .250 hitter doing on this list? Bo Jackson had to be seen to be believed. He climbed outfield walls, broke bats in half with his bare hands, ran over catchers and hit baseballs ridiculously far for someone who spent a good chunk of his career playing in the NFL and was rumored to have leapt tall buildings in a single bound.

4. Bo Jackson

How awful if you're in your late 20s, a huge football fan, and never got to see Bo run. The speed, the power, the change-of-direction ... breathtaking. The anticipation before one of his games in a way-too-short pro career (38 games, 515 carries) with the Raiders was scintillating. Too bad he dislocated his hip in 1989 against the Bengals. Like Sayers, he too, would have been an all-time great.

Completely agree. A consumate athlete. All natural. And he pancaked that asshole from OU. For that I am grateful. There's a story about what George Brett said about him in the locker room one day. I can't remember how it went, but it was a supreme compliment from one of the greats of baseball. Yes, too bad his career was cut short.

well whos seen the Erin Andrews video?

Yeah, I could see that being popular (and I'm sure they've approached her about it). I'm not sure what combing or curling your hair have to do with checking out your own but, but that was kind of humorous.

I think the more interesting thing about that article is the idea that coaches don't fill out their own ballots, whether it be for All-Conference Honors or weekly Top 25 ballots. I think this may end up causing quite the controversy. The Coaches Poll has already been bashed enough due to the fact idea of how can a coach keep up with what's going on elsewhere in the country when their own team is typically playing on the same day.

Completely agree. I was surprised by that as well. Everyone knows that Spurrier has a lazy streak, but he could at least fill out his own ballot. Or check it a little closer. I could imagine that filling out that ballot. however, could take a good bit of time and is something that can be delegated.

Lol! The writer says at the end ....or at least made it bigger.
