Bama has plucked several top players from Florida's backyard, so why should not do the same? Tailbacks are prone to injury as they are guaranteed to get hit and hit hard virtually every play. I can envision a UF running game that stays the course with fresh legs. I have no doubt that Bo would make the rotation from the get-go. His contribution would be an awesome plus for the Florida Gators. Come to Gainesville, Bo, and stay 3-4 years. You will never regret it! GO GATORS!!!

Especially look at holding. Do you remember the last time a Gator opponent got called for a hold? I think we had one this entire year. Do you expect me to seriously believe that none of our opponents ever held us? I don't think so. With the sideline antics I was just bringing personal experience in. I was saying, while my coaches weren't quite Muschamp level, they still could go crazy. However I never even came close to getting a personal foul penalty or anything like that. And believe me, I got very frustrated plenty of times. Trust me, the personal foul penalties have nothing to do with how Muschamp acts on the sidelines As for the Bowden comment, I was straight up calling Bowden a dirty coach and saying I pray that Muschamp isn't taking that route. I don't think he is, but if personal fouls keep popping up then that can be an indicator that you have a dirty coach. Again I don't think Muschamp is, but then again I didn't think Meyer was a liar and he proved me wrong.

You start out with a conspiracy theory that ref's are out to get the GATORS. And how others are not as bad as WM on his side line antics. Then the players personal fouls having nothing to do with WM's sideline show. and what a player is taught in practice and the attitude of the players and what type of players we have.I think we have good players, MOST PERSONAL FOULS COME FROM FRUSTRATION. And the Bobby Bowden comment, just went over my head. Go for one argument at a time and be concise with it. I'm not being critical of you , your post is just confusing.

I know this may sound like a whiny fan grasping for straws, but I'm not. I admit when the penalties are good calls or when the refs missed a penalty they should've called on us, and I don't blame the refs for any loss except the 03 debacle and that was just obvious. But watching the game, I see most calls don't go the Gators way, and this year seems even worse. I mean when's the last time anyone see a Gator opponent get a holding call? I mean really our opponents just never hold?? Ever? And just one example for this year, the refs are trying to tell me that FSU didn't do anything penalty worthy until late in the 4th and yet Florida had like 12 penalties?? It's insane. It's messed up. And the players don't deserve that. That's why I like that Muschamp doesn't put up with it. And I bet if this crap continues he'll do more about it than just yell at the refs. He'll make sure it gets brought to light. And that's what the players deserve. They deserve a coach who will go to bat for them. As for the personal foul penalties, I think that has nothing to do with Muschamp's sideline behavior. He probably needs to make more of an emphasis on playing smart and the players cleaning up their act, but I highly doubt it has anything to do with his sideline behavior. I've had coaches go crazy on the refs, get in my face, chew me out, yell until they were blue in the face (not quite Muschamp level but still) and I never committed a personal foul penalty in my life. Never got caught up in a fight. Heck I never even talked trash to another player (I mean like fighting and telling him how I'd beat him up or something. Now talking trash about how we were a better team, or that he'd never be able to block me, or such now that's just part of the game and an extremely fun part of the game! haha). Personal foul penalties and stuff like that is affected by the attitude of the individual player and how he's taught every day in practice, not what he sees on the sideline. Muschamp can go as crazy as he wants, but if he has good guys and teaches them right then personal fouls shouldn't be a problem. Now if you do see a problem then maybe you should question what time of players we have or what Muschamp is teaching them, which I pray he's not pulling a Bobby Bowden!

IF you PISS off the refs and they think you are trying to show them up, They can call many infractions that we don't see(or even they don't see) if its close there is NOTHING that will be said because the league knows these are split second JUDGEMENTS sometime. He can tone the Bullsh... Down. The REFs will not make your team perform better. The thing that he was arguing about they showed several time were the TWO PERSONAL FILES were committed. Both NO BRAINERS. GO GATORS!!!! GREAT POINT Tampa Gator!

But out of curiosity, what does the process look like for something like that? Can anyone report that? And when? And how long would (hypothetically) something like that take to go through to the NCAA, even though I'm sure it would be a very minor slap on the wrist if anything. Just curious about the NCAA process really. Even when we've had our doubts about Clemson, this question came to mind. Thanks Zach.
