    SIAP but I saw on the other site tonight a peaceful protest is currently being organized on campus to be held this week protesting for the removal of our HC and AD. Any truth to this? These aren't anything new (Michigan, Tennessee and others have done this in the past), but I guess Gator Nation feels compelled to do something at this point.

    Trying to find more info like when/where, but please bump if you happen to see more details released in coming days

    peaceful = no pitchforks and torches?

    hate to see it come to this, but it's probably a nothing-burger.

    It’s like you have to have a cheat sheet of acronyms at your fingertips to understand what you’re reading. I prefer to have no acronyms, but that’s just me. I guess it’s just the way the younger generation communicates.

    As I said many times, the only power you have to make a change is to stop going to the games.

    I always wonder if these people don't have class to go to or a job to go to. Who the hell has time to stand around with a damn sign.

    To be fair we all spend a lot of time on the internet. UF would actually be better off if we cut our postings in half and physically protested with the time saved

    A change is being made. It may not be yesterday like many want it to be but Napier won’t be the coach in 2026. There are a lot of moving parts behind the curtain. The biggest of which, is $. Boosters want a bigger seat at the table this time around and everyone wants to be aligned. It may not be on the time table the fans want it to be, but I’m certain it’s happening.

    Forgive me if I do not share your optimism.

    I have seen NOTHING that would inform such a brazen prognostication. I am biased but I think it might be different if we had our past UF President (Sasse) who showed a willingness to push his vision in the face of conventional wisdom. But we have a lame-duck/too-weak/too-new administration and a feckless AD that prefers comity with the SEC, others over leading his function.

    I'm middle aged with my two oldest kids in college and understood what SIAP meant. It has been a message boards standard for years.

    Hint: our kids don't post on message boards. ;)

    Keep up boomers

    Wrote this in the thread that got deleted but here goes....

    There is no way its not a foregone conclusion that Napier is gone and back channels aren't being worked. Ill delete my account if napier is here next year and thats even if they somehow won out the rest of the year. It ain't happening.

    I think Florida fans would be better for packing the stadium and supporting the players who haven't given up and keep playing their assess off despite being hamstrung by a stubborn, egotistical and deficient head coach. Showing out for the players isnt support for the coach and anyone considering the position would see that it isnt the fans that are the problem.

    Pie in the sky scenario but I think it would make UF look better than contributing to the turmoil and clown show that we have become.

    I'll remain consistent. Lack of leadership at the very top means the knock-kneed, spineless people we have at the top are too frightened. But always support the kids...
