    I’m pretty sure we had more hurries and sacks on Hooker than they did on AR.

    The "chatter" was that some of our last staff members encouraged players to leave before our new coaches got a chance to fully evaluate them.

    Tyrone Hopper, family member from NC football team, also transferred to Missouri last year for final year of eligibility. Closer to their family to watch them play, is what was stated at the time. Perhaps Tyrone from UNC was not a fan of Bateman during their time together?.

    Seems odd to me that they would trust their 4-8 staff for advice.

    Well... let's not get to deep into this subject, but we let them coach our team for the UCF game too. That game should have been declined and the coaches sent on their way right after the FSU game. Then to add insult to injury we let the worst coach out of the bunch play head football coach for that bowl game.

    I felt like they were letting us lose that game and had no intention of going out winners. I remember the post game discussion. Some thought otherwise but I was convinced Knox threw the game. He was standing there watching his players lose, arms crossed, barely involved. Look where they are now.

    Just saw today that No. 1 5 star LB recruit Anthony Hill Jr. out of Texas, has announed that he is decommitting from Texas A&M..... I tried looking at his status on 247 and to me, it seems that Texas and Alabama may be potential landing spots for him. Was wondering if anyone in the know has any info if Coach Billy is after him now? Heck we are light at LBer and this kid could probably start from day 1..... Just wanted to ask.

    GO GATORS!!!!

    The chatter is LSU is all over him. But who really knows where he's transferring to.

    Go back in time and pay Harold Perkins whatever that monster wants. Man, it hurts to watch him play.

    Anthony Hill would be Big Time get if UF could pull that off. 5 star monster linebacker AT a position of need and quick PT I'm sure.

    Money tends to flow when you re-allocate it from academics.

    He sucked as our running backs coach, and he sucked in the bowl game. Nothing you say can change my opinion.

    You were unhappy with the play of Perine, Malik, Wright and D Pierce? I would consider that propbably the top performing position group of the Mullen era. They had great YPC, they caught the ball well out of the backfield, very good blocking/picking up blitz. What about our RB's sucked?
