Can one simply hate everything gator and talk vol football? I feel this might be the place for that. If you are a rival poster there is most likely some evil intent or why be here? If you feel unjustly attacked, I suggest leaving. Next question...
Lurtz, I've seen you rally the troops and be active consistantly for Jackson and I'm curious... what is your connection to this kid? Do you know him / are you connected in some way? Or, do you just think he's an incredible talent and that we really want him (as do I)?
FYI - not trolling or starting something. Just genuinely want to know. Either way, I think its great and absolutely necessary in this case.
:salute:
It sounds like you don't even know what a troll is.
You really have that big of a problem with other fan bases posting and sharing thoughts/opinions? So, you'd rather sit here sunshine-pumping your team all day?
We're most likely losing 2-3 to the draft in Roberson, Purifoy, and Watkins after this season anyway. Plus, we can use Jackson in a Purifoy-type role and have him switch offense/defense.
Personally think it's going to be a UF/USC battle. Track is a huge factor for him, but his parents are moving to Cali, so they might have the advantage. Regardless, none of our DBs have any effect on his recruitment.
Well it didn't really help his case that he discounted UT's progress with Adoree. You cant expect your post to be well received on a rival site when you put them out of the race. I think having Adoree come here on his own dime and enjoy his visit puts us in the thick of things. We'll see if we get an official other than the UT - Florida game, but I definitely dont hate our chances.
I expect rival fans to be fair and balanced on our site, otherwise theyre just asking for it. - JMO
So? My main board is on 247. We let other fans post as long as they don't troll and talk football/recruiting. I don't understand why what school you went to/root for should really matter when discussing a mutually sought-after recruit.

No connection, I have a few reasons. Sure, he's a 5 star cornerback, and he probably has the most pure athletic potential in the class, but what gets me interested the most is that this guy has shown genuine interest with our school, and I have stood idly by as players like Bell, Lawson, and so on went to other schools, and I'm tired of it! For once, we, the fans, have an ability to truly help our great football program on a day to day basis in a POSITIVE manner, and who here doesn't want that? I sat here in Adoree's thread and have seen it at least twice go into "give up, he's a gator" mode, and I will have none of that anymore! No more "Battered Wife" syndrome. We rallied, got interest, rallied again, got the unofficial, and it is apparent to me that we are having a significant impact on this man's recruiting! I'm setting Adoree's recruitment as the example, and want to use this style on all future "Big Fish" recruits, and feel even more proud of my team on Saturdays when we can all look at Mr. Jackson returning that big INT for a TD and being able to say "I helped bring him here!" We are constantly listed by recruit after recruit as the best fanbase, we should help the coaches and organize our attack through the social media outlets, which have proven effective, and go outrecruit those damned Gators! I am SICK of the Streak! I am SICK of the Swamp! I am SICK of Tim Tebow, Arrogant Florida fans, and this repulsive mindset that we just can't beat these damn Gators! It stops NOW, with Adoree! To hell with the Gators, and let's go get us some top football players and GO VOLS!
I don't have a clue what a troll is so i am sure that other poster is not the only one lacking in that knowledge - im over 30, have a job, this is only message board ive ever been on, graduated college without a cell phone, so maybe im just a dinosaur
i try and fit in time to come here and get info on the team i care about - never understood how people find the time to go to rival team's boards but if i ever retire i might try it out - might be fun to piss off some gators or bammers
That is always fun, just want to do it on the field again and send the Tennessee born wagon jumpers back under the floor boards with the COCK roaches where they belong. Thank you...Thank you very much! (Elvis Voice)
People on here don't like rival posters because we've had so many obnoxious trolls post on here over the last few years (and the majority of them are gators dawgs). So after a while you just don't care to see any new ones posting. There are a few examples of rival fans who are accepted and liked on here (gator dep. comes to mind) but most come on here only to troll. I'm not saying that you're one of them bc I haven't seen many I your posts. But that's why people are so quick to throw out the troll label and especially to a new gator poster.
It is my understanding that that's what all gators are!
