Florida Character

[TerryTate]

Breaking news: Freshmen Ronald Powell, Dominique Easley skip Tuesday's practice, threaten to transfer - The Independent Florida Alligator: Football

These kids are a freaking joke.

 

[military_irish]

thats funny, some kids just think they need to be entitled to everything.

ahhh, High school Superstars are now just another player, that must be a culture shock, like you said what a joke

 

[Rizzophil]

I heard they were back at practice today.... They have alot of growing up to do, however.

 

[iamtrulyblessed]

You aint lieing.........it just doesnt surprise me one bit.

 

[GreatGolson]

ugh, i know its not us, and will never be us, but that there is a REMOTE POSSIBILITY that we could play a team like this sickens me.

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I don't give a crap how good these kids are....this is BS. If Urban had any guts he would suspend these kids.

 

[BGIF]

I don't give a crap how good these kids are....this is BS. If Urban had any guts he would suspend these kids.

Amen.

You reap what you sow - and fertilize.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Not sure who needs more of a wake up call...the kids, the coach, or the parents???

All sick, but still hilarious

 

[mgriff]

I love how our society has evolved!

 

[irishtrain]

Honestly- you dont think there is trouble on the horizon for that outfit in Gainesville.

 

[TerryTate]

I'm awaiting the UF version of the 7th Floor Crew mix tape

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Production is on hold....their AK-47's haven't come in yet. Hopefully by next week's end.

 

[military_irish]

i think that would explain the health issues Meyer now experiences, but hey if thats what he wants on his team then he'll have to deal with all the baggage that comes with it

Irish--military is right it takes its toll. He wont stay there for the long haul like he wants too. It cant be done.

 

[HereComeTheIrish]

Don't kid yourselves, folks. Championships cure all... This sucks now, but once the winning starts, this shit goes straight out the window....and these pains in the ass go on ice... Slimeball Meyer isn't even giving this a second thought. Trust me.

 

[tankjeep]

what's disgusting is watching a high school all american game and seeing these high school athletes acting like they are God's gift to this earth.

i just watch a few plays and end up changing the channel. but i got to watch that easely play, what a beast of a player....but again, it doesn't give him the right to be a douche bag. urban's made his bed with these types of players......he can sleep on it and deal with it.

They get that way because people kiss their asses to no end. I mean, really, what kid doesn't want to be the leader of the pack, the most popular dood that every one wants to know. Unfortunately its their ego and the people that feed the fire.

 

[GEORGIA DOMER]

Dear Devil,
I have a soul that can be bought very cheap!
Hit me up in Utah.
Yours truely, URBAN

These kids go through two or more years of being recruited and having coaches around the nation suck up to them and telling them how great they are. It's a big jump from having Urban Meyer and his staff talking these kids up and complimenting them to having the coaches yell and ride them all day at practice. They are 17-18 years old and do not have the emotional maturity to fully understand the recruiting process and often let these things go to their head.

 

[Ben E.]

institutionalized at 18 or 19...sad!

 

[iamtrulyblessed]

Well, I have went thru the recruiting process several times, I was fortunate, so I tried very hard to prepare Aaron in numerous ways to handle different situations. Not only that, my job as a mom is to prepare him for certain situations, whether their good or bad. I must say, at times it's not easy, but you can't give up. I'm sure their has been times Aaron said to himself, "Damn, I wish she would stay off my back", but you know what, that's ok, it's called, "hate me now, love me later". I try very hard at being as understanding as I can, and at the same time, I have to be hard as nails. Why, because I want him to be smart in any situations, choices, and decisions that comes along with the journey of the man he's becoming and will become. No regrets!!

i agree, but at some point.....when is a parent going to kick 'em in da arse and wake 'em up???? imo, a kid's character reflects that of the parent.

amen to that, well done.

 

[Blue N Gold]

Gator fans gasping, the kids threatened to transfer out. hahaha

Powell, Easley return to practice after skipping Tuesday - The Independent Florida Alligator: Football

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

These two dipshits should have found all their stuff packed and sitting on the front lawn of their dorm with a one way bus ticket out of town. Call their bluff and send them on their way. They get upset when the coaches come down on them in practice? WTF?

"Rogers Hornsby was my manager, and he called me a talking pile of pigshit. And that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me play the game. And did I cry?" - Jimmy Dugan

 

[TerryTate]

I don't think these kids understand that there's a new Lebron, Wade, and Bosh every year. Then it becomes "what have you done for me lately"

 

[Irish Man3]

Don't kid yourselves, folks. Championships cure all... This sucks now, but once the winning starts, this shit goes straight out the window....and these pains in the ass go on ice... Slimeball Meyer isn't even giving this a second thought. Trust me.

Agreed. Easley Powell and Floyd are going to put together an amazing defensive line. Theres a lot of winning still to come in Gainsville. More winning=less stress. The real culture shock for these kids will come when SEC play begins and they see what college football is all about and that they are no longer the best athletes on the field. Meyer wont have to say anything about it.

As one of those kids who sometimes resented my parents for always pushing me - I'd just like to say thanks on all of our behalf. Mothers like you are the reason why sons (and daughters) can achieve so much.

 

[Irish.Ca]

Isn't this an oxymoron?
