When this “newsworthiness” has an intent to be disruptive or distracting to the organization I have a MAJOR issue with it, and I refuse to be an apologist for the media.

BFD – some of our coaches did something that really amounts to just a slap on the wrist. Aside from that, they were merely doing their jobs as well. We don’t live in a perfect world, after all. Yet the “Slantinel” would find it newsworthy to report one of them merely spitting on the sidewalk, or so it seems.

Let me throw something else back at you – Florida has the “Friday Night Lights” event coming up in The Swamp for potential recruits; reading between the lines, I somewhat suspect that Fowler has an alterior motive to do something disruptive here. It’s the timing of all this that I’m now questioning as well. Feel free to take an opposing view, but that’s just my opinion.

As Dana Carvey in the role of ’The Church Lady" would say, “How conveeeeenient”.

We DO follow the rules; note that we haven’t committed any major recruiting violations during that period the “Slantinel” demanded to know about. What some of our assistants did on Facebook pales in comparison to the circumstances surrounding the recruitment of Reggie Bush and Willie Williams that eventually led to scandal. What we don’t like to see are hacks like those writing for the “Slantinel” trying to instigate trouble over things that are trivial. We’re sick and tired of their constantly trying to stir the pot only to try and attract readers to their site.

Skigator is right – if it wasn’t for this fishwrap of a newspaper, there’d be a decline in all this nonsense.

It’s OK for you rival fans to throw this in our faces, but unless you really know what’s going on, you shouldn’t go knocking another fanbase. If UF was really breaking the rules, the NCAA would swoop in on us like buzzards on roadkill.
