I've heard a lot of rumors, some may be true, some may not be. At this point in time, a fake rumor is just as damaging as a rumor that proves to be true.

Think about it, if Billy Donovan is recruiting right now, Florida is already an easy sale, but what if a kid says "It's down to Florida and Arkansas".

If I'm Billy D., I'm spinning like a madman. "Arkansas, really? Well, last I heard, most of their class was transferring, one kid's been suspended twice, one kid once, another kid was kicked off. But hey, yeah, Arkansas, good call".

I'm not coming down on anyone posting rumors here, most of them are interesting, besides who's gonna take a bunch of anonymous people on a message board seriously? But a lot of times where there's smoke there's fire, and at this point, since we've had so much trouble, more people may be prone to believe it.

Dude our program is pitaful to start with right now.  Pel can't cut it and he has lost all control over this team.  He is going to protect his buddy's and continue to drive this program into deeper waters.

Our only hope is Long sees the light and cleans house in the next week or so.
Lebron raised money for kids... Rotnei stole crap from the equipment room

Do you think that Billy Donovan would put a knife in the back of John Pelphrey?

In theory, no. First of all, I don't see why a recruit would even have a decision to make if it's down to Florida and Arkansas now, it's a slam dunk.

But let's just say that there is one. If you want the kid, you do whatever it takes to get an edge. I would expect no less, I would expect Pelphrey to do the same.

God, don't tease me.

Losing a head to head recruiting battle with Florida would be a step in the right direction.  Lately we have been losing recruits to Texas A&M and Baylor.
Sometimes wrong, but never in doubt

Why is the phrase 'sh8tcanned' funny? I mean just funny how it sounds.

Say it to your self, "Shi(canned"!

It's a great crude phrase.

Fla doesn't have to say all of that. All Donovan has to say is this: "Ark is 2-14 this year in SEC. That program has won one NCAAT game in last 10 years. Fla has won 2 NC's in last 5."
I don't want you to agree with me because you're weak. I want you to agree with me because you know I'm right.

Agreed, Florida was a bad example. Texas A&M then. If it's down to those two marginal teams, the A&M coach would just have to play this card and make us look worse than we are.

Get real.  All Donovan has to say is "Florida".

Long didn't hire Jamie Dixon. He was hired by the AD before Long was there.
