    I just saw a clip of the Miami players walking by the recruits at the end of the game telling them not to go to UF and come to the u. Why would we put them right next to the opponent’s tunnel? Based on Saturday’s performance, I could see it be repeating several times this year. Move them to the north end zone.

    Right next to the opponent’s tunnel seems like a very bad choice. Doesn’t speak well for UF.

    Exactly, been in the same spot for decades, and there is no room anywhere else, and that spot gives them easy access to the Gator room

    At least move them to the other side of the south end zone. Katy Turner was there telling the um players to move along. Sad she seemed to be the only Gator willing to stand up to them

    It is sad. Speaks volumes for the fight and enthusiasm of Billy’s Army.

    24 years as a season ticket holder in section D, I remember about a dozen Alabama players in 2011 having a lot to say to the recruiting section after the 38-10 beat down. Probably not as intense as Miami did this past Saturday, but that's just scUM being scUM.

    Yeah...it's happened plenty of times to some degree. Fsu has done it specifically

    May be a trend until change of HC occurs.

    I wouldn’t bet on that. Just in the past it wasn’t as effective because we used to win most games in the swamp.

    But the decisions we make all the time are horse crap. Any decision they make is the wrong one . I’ve always thought that that area was a horrible place and potential detrimental
