With just baseball and track left to count. If track has a decent four days, and Duke and Arky don’t go completely crazy, it looks like the top 10 streak will survive. Duke losing last night in baseball really helped. Michigan didn’t make NCAAs in baseball so we are ahead of them right now. UVA didn’t either, and they aren’t great at track. We will net 37.5 points on them both for baseball. If all goes well we will pull 100 points in track and Arky can’t catch us. That would seal it. https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/...ments/2025/6/8/24.25DI_SpringOverall_6.10.pdf
Top 10 Streak = Yes. Top 5 Streak = No. Maybe the Gators will overperform in the Outdoor T&F Championships moving UF up the list. It just doesn't look like top 5 again is possible.
men down some this year, top 15 likely, women are sneaky good, top 5 at worst if all perform up to qualifying
T&F still going om? I thought we were done and resigned myself to watching the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup finals and the CWS. Still can’t sit through an MLB game unless live.
Scott Stricklin's mediocre leadership is allowing our slow slide from athletic elitism that Jeremy Foley established, IMO.
I think UF has been in the top 5 of the Director's Cup standings every year since Stricklin has been with UF until this year. That combined with a top 10 finish, final ranking TBD after Outdoor T&F, is not a slide into mediocrity. My only concern is how the football team performs in 2025 after finishing strong in 2024 after a vote of confidence for CBN by Stricklin. I didn't like CBN's hire, thought he was too conservative offensively to please UF fans, but now that returns are coming in, I'm okay so long as the football team starts making its way back to being elite. HC Todd Golden was a knock it out of the park hire, duh. HC Ryan Theis has the potential to be a CTG type of hire. I'm just not unhappy with Stricklin at this point. Let's revisit this again after football season. I want to see the vote of confidence payoff in results. It'll get interesting if CBN doesn't produce. However, the interesting will likely be for Napier, not Stricklin. I really don't see any new university president hire being in a rush to change out a UF AD who has been getting such good results in all sports.
SS has also overseen significant facility enhancements that have put UF back on an elite level in several areas. He has also retained the coaches that are key to success....only big loss was Shelton ( nothing you can do to retain a guy going to coach his son) and the recent retirement of Wise.
Most of the vitriol with ADSS is his handling of the WBB issue and of course soccer. Still not sure we have it right with soccer but willing to give KRF another year at minimum.
It just makes me laugh. There were many "fire Foley" threads on here. I guess the "all sports school" just hires lousy ADs.
Thinking UF could finish as high as #7 if the women do well today. Top 10 is locked, but the top 5 streak is over. UF should get Beach Volleyball going for a chance to get more points.
We aren’t quite 100 present safe, Duke, Oklahoma and UVA could still technically pass us if we collapse today and leave us in 11th…Oklahoma having a crazy good day yesterday left the window barely ajar. Maybe 98 percent good, women just need a few points today and we’re safe (with a number of great chances), and if we didn’t get them, Oklahoma would have to have an even more insane day today than yesterday. But amazing our two biggest streaks will likely survive this year. The DC streak and having at least one natty every year since 2009. Thanks Todd!
