Toss in the media slurpfest of Heisman winner Tim Tebow and right now everyone outside of Gainesville is sick of all things UiF, so it’s almost my duty to point out any anti-Florida nonsense I come across.
Everyone’s least favorite coach Urban Meyer had some choice words after Michigan upset Florida in the Citrus Bowl on New Years Day. Steve Babik of the Gator Network attempted to interview The Myth about this being the last game for the 2007 senior class, their impact on the program and how hard it is to say ‘goodbye’. The Myth responded with the following:
“Well, for those guys who just put in their time and didn’t make any real contributions, it’s time for you to go. It won’t be hard to say goodbye to some of those guys who just went through the motions. Now for those kids who actually bought into the program, and who made some sacrifices and contributions – you know, like Bubba Caldwell….he’s a graduate of UF and had a great career – you’ll really miss those guys. But just because you’re a senior doesn’t mean you have any value.”
Hey Urban, tell us how you really feel! Seriously, I can almost ‘get’ where The Myth is coming from regarding frustration with kids who were recruited, on scholarship four years for football and failed to produce on the field. That has to be a big time frustration of most coaches in the game.
Now all that said, those comments should be filed under ‘innermost thoughts’. Shooting off at the mouth and speaking the unspeakable a month before Signing Day? File that one under ‘moronic’.
UiF recruits, there’s some proof regarding how your future head coach values you if you aren’t a superstar Gator. Screw your education, you have no ‘value’ unless you dominate on the field. Perform consistently or you’re deemed worthless.
Sounds like a hell of a way to spend the next four years.
Stay classy, Urbie.
