I haven't watched film on any of them. I did not see the AP game because they didn't show it up here. I would say tossup again. That was a close game with Western Michigan. AP and Western Michigan are closer to Nicholls than any are to UT. Toledo is probably in between. If we are only as good as Toledo, we aren't beating anyone in the SEC but maybe Kentucky. I don't see UT as that bad. I realize they are not good this year.
What point are you trying to make. I think if UT plays their best, and Florida doesn't, it will be close. If both play their best, UT gets beat by 10-14. It UT doesn't play their best and Florida does, 3-4 tds.

AP wouldn't have a chance against any.

Anyways, my point was comparing scores is silly.

Arian's scholarship took care of food. He had the opportunity to dine at the team training table just as all other scholarship athletes.

Florida will be loading the box all game anyways. They'll leave the Corners by themselves as usual. Our WRs will just have to win.

This is precisely why UT will struggle, horribly, against this UF team. Our offense is not dynamic, from what we've seen, and running the football is going to be very difficult. Our WRs are just not good. North is young and hasn't been involved enough, Pig is limited by injury, and a young, promising WR in Jenkins is out for the year. Croom is an option, but he just needs to step up and make some plays.

This game is similar to last week, IMO. It's one of those, "too many things have to go right in order to have a chance," type of games.

And he chose to live off campus and pay rent. Live in the dorms for free, and you've got all that rent money for food. If you don't have enough money for rent and food and have the option to live rent-free, then do that and buy food. That's called making an adult decision.

I'm not saying I agree with the way the system is set up, but don't try and make it sound like you had no other options.

Said it before and I will say it again. They sign a contract (in conjunction with their parents) that says I will play football in exchange for a shot at a college education valued at around 100-200 thousand dollars. Playing for free? Hardly. If you don't want to play for the scholarship, don't sign up for it.
The money made by the university on football generally pays for all other sports, because most of the rest of them lose money.

200 might be a tad high. If a low income to moderate income student goes to a state school the cost is not near that high

A basic degrees actual value on the other hand IMO would be under current cost

60k would be my max value number. Seems irrational to pay any more than that to come out making about what u can at a restaurant waiting tables

And honestly that might be a bit high

Yet no mention of the adult decision the coach made that gave him the money. Typical.

Agreed. I haven't taken a side in the argument to pay student-athletes, but this is just silly.

All of these guys have meal plans, and it's all taken care of with their scholarships. Food is just not justifiable here.

My athletic meal plan was better than normal students, and that was Division III.

Depends on the state and the school. Doesn't change the basic premise of my argument.

I'd definitely feel a lot better if Pig was 100% and North had gotten some reps other than showing off his catch radius while Worley sailed balls all around him. I'm still cautiously optimistic though. If Peterman plays and sparks the offense, good things could happen.

How big of a legend would Peterman become if he could lead us to a win in the swamp ending the 8 year drought.

It would be a thing of greek mythology.
