"Saturday's additions gave Florida the consensus No. 1 recruiting class..."

[citizenerased]

The story is indeed bunk.

Tim Tebow is the guy that had the dream.

When Tebow is involved it is no longer a dream, instead it is a prophecy.

[Sportsbuck]

Shariff... this was reported on a South Carolina blog.

I found it hard to believe at first, but if there was one coach I could see pulling a stunt like this it would be Meyer. First off, let me make it clear that I really like Urban Meyer. He is a schematical genious, he really cares about his players, and he wins. But I wholeheartedly doubt that he did not mention religion... just like I doubt that Ohio State doesn't negatively recruit. Think about it here folks. Urban Meyer talks all the time about how Tebow has made him such a religous person, etc., and he doesn't mention religion at all when talking to one of the nation's top recruits?

And quite frankly, I don't care if you aren't going to Ohio State, and a speak for a large portion of this fanbase. Would it be nice to add a 5* DT to the mix? Of course. But we missed out on several top 50 dlineman in 2007 and "settled" for Cameron Heyward... I think Ohio State's gonna be fine.

Sportsbuck,

The whole thing was made-up. Why believe any of it? And besides,

Quit being such a bitch.

[FirstTimer]

Quit being a gullible, hate-filled, jealous cunt.

Gullible? I never even said I believed the story you fucking moron. I was joking about it.

LOL at me "hating" Urban Meyer. When did I ever say that? I think the guy is a dirtball coach. That doesn't mean I hate him as a person or am hoping he dies on the sideline as you sarcastically mentioned in another thread.

I'm not jealous of a thing Meyer has done or accomplished at Florida. I have better things to do with my time than pine after championships another coach has won.

Jesus, anyone says anything about Meyers and you get a dick in your ass about and act like a fucking bitch and come rushing to his rescue "debunking" a story that whether it's true or not...and who gives a fuck if it is or isn't...doesn't change the overall assessment of Meyers of those who have an issue with the way he has built his program and with the type of players he has done it with.

Let it go and quit being such an oversensitive fag.

Florida football won't matter in 100 years anyways when the entire state of Florida is a swimming pool because of global warming.

[FirstTimer]

You did believe the garbage rumor.

Really? You know what I was thinking? That's odd. I never even said anything about the rumor other than clowning on the logic behind it and clowning on Tebow being God.

I did those for the LULZ.

Again, quit being an oversensitive fag.

STFU.

You are jealous of a successful program while your team blows and you hate Urban Meyer.

Not true on both counts. LOL at me being "jealous" of Florida's program. Congrats, you've won three national titles and have three Heisman winners. Consider me "impressed". I'm not jealous of Florida's program because I have faith in my program to again rise and be a major player on the college football scene. You Florida fans crack me up. I could name about 10-15 other programs nationwide I would be "jealous of" if I had to choose one before I even got to the Gators.

Again, I don't hate Urban Meyer. Keep telling yourself whatever you need to. Simply because I think Meyer is a dirtball coach doesn't mean I think he is a bad person or that I "hate" him. I have more important, evil people to direct "hate" at.

Quit being a fucking idiot.

[FirstTimer]

You thanked that post. Yeah, you thanked it because you disagreed with it.

Do you know why I thanked it?
Did I ever say I believed the story?

Because if it was true he would have been 100% correct in his post. I never came out and made a serious post on the subject because I know better than to put all my eggs in the blog basket when it comes to recruiting news.

If I felt strongly about it or believed it was true I would have come out and made a post saying so...instead I just clowned on the story.

Then you groaned me when I said we should wait for better facts. Yeah, because you agreed with me on that.

I groaned you because you were taking a fucking blog post way too serious and treating it like some big deal whether it was true or not. "Hint" It's not that big of a deal either way because the story didn't change my feelings about Meyer one way or another whether it was true or not. You were being a fucking bitch. Which I told you to knock off....and you still haven't done.

Don't lie. Own it. You believed some junk on a SC blog because you wanted to believe it. Then you threw a hissy fit when I found out it was made-up.

LOL at you trying to determine my mens rea from some "thanks" and "groans" on an internet message board.

Good work Bugliosi.

[FirstTimer]

You clowned on Meyer, not the story with anonymous sources.

Actually I more clowned on God than Meyer.

I expressed doubts on the story before it was found to be shit, not you.

*NEWSFLASH* People have the ability to express doubts without informing the VSN NFL/NCAA Football community of those doubts....but they do have the ability to clown on the story/Meyer/God.

Again, quit being a moron.

You agreed with that, and now you lie and spin. Just admit it and be a man.

I never "agreed" with anything. It was a good post. I give out "thanks" to good posts to people I disagree with pretty regularly. Just because I thank or groan a post isn't the "Firsttimer seal of approval and agreement with everything contained in this post". it was a solid post assuming the story was true. Then again I didn't take the story all that seriously because..and read this very carefully: It has no bearing on my opinion of Meyers one way or there other. It wasn't going to tip the scales either way.

Quit dry humping your cardboard cut out of Meyer and quit being a clown/wannabe internet detective. Stick to things you are good at like........well..I'm sure you'll find something.

[FirstTimer]

And of course the fake story you believed didn't tip the scales into your hate zone; you hated Meyer before you read the story.

Again incorrect....I don't "hate" Meyer. LOL at you still continuing to believe that I do.

And you thanked this because you disagreed with it. Laughable.

Yeah because it's not like in the Warner for HOF thread I wasn't thanking well thought out posts by people saying Warner was a first ballot/no brainer guy when I don't think he is personally.....oh wait............

Quit being a simplistic asshat.

NAHSTE13 didn't preface that post with "if this is true, then...". .

Ok....? Too bad for him then. Then again that doesn't mean that when I read his post that I couldn't have been thinking "If this is true..." and thus thanked it. Again LOL at you trying to analyze what people are thinking based on their "thanks" and "groans".

[FirstTimer]

At no time did you express any doubt over the story.

Incorrect. Just because it is not typed here does not mean it did not occur. Can you comprehend that?

Thanks, groans the English language and dozens oh Meyer hating posts aren't hard to interpret.

Again. I don't "hate" Urban Meyer. Never have. So your entire basis for me wanting to buy into some story is beyond flawed.

Now if you excuse me I have to go put another pin in the heart of my Urban Meyer voodoo doll.

[Sportsbuck]

It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to read this thread or have doubts in a unsourced story. And of course the fake story you believed didn't tip the scales into your hate zone; you hated Meyer before you read the story.

Given all of the past questions about Meyer's recruiting tactics, this was actually a pretty believeable story.

This is a man who told then UF committ Jevan Snead that he was recruiting Tebow as a LB.

He tried to tell Terrance Tolliver that LSU was bad academically and that they don't graduate their players. In addition, Patrick Peterson alleged that Meyer was part of the reason his ACT score was flagged by the NCAA, delaying his enrollment at LSU.

Many recruits have referred to him as the biggest negative recruiter they've had in the process.. Nu'Keese Richardson reference this as a big reason as to why he ended up at UT.

Is Meyer alone in negative recruiting? No. Am I biased in this argument? Probably, but I'm also a guy that has a ton of respect for Meyer based on what he's accomplished and him being a former Buckeye fan and holding a degree from tOSU doesn't hurt either. But Meyer's questionable recruiting tactics isn't exactly new on the street.. go ahead and google "Urban Meyer and negative recruiting" and have fun with it.

Dont forget Florida has Andre Debose : )

I thanked this post..

O shit...but I don't have a ton of respect for Meyer so I disagree with that! How can I thank a post I don't agree with????

OH NOES!!


I just gave my Meyer voodoo doll AIDS. Expect that to break on ESPN soon.

[NAHSTE]

Yeah, Urban definitely did flag Peterson's ACT score, because he decided to go elsewhere. It cost him the entire month of August and he didn't get to start right away as he should have based on his ability.

Meyer has a penchant for douche behavior, which is why this story was so believable. The fact that such a retarded story could even be close to sounding plausible is an indication of how slimy Meyer's recruiting tactics are known to be.

[NAHSTE]

I'm glad this is all cleared up, and Meyer isn't promising to die for recruits.

Now if he can just stop flagging opposing players' test scores, snitching on other programs, negatively recruiting, accepting players who end up using their roommate and teammate's dead girlfriend's credit card 2 days after she died, or reinstating players specifically for big games only to kick them off the next week (Marcus Thomas, anyone?), I'll respect his tactics as a coach, and actually believe he's a man of character.

That's not even mentioning the time I had to hear him speak at an Atlanta Alumni scholarship banquet for my sister (she's a UF student). After arriving 2 hours late, Meyer spoke for 1 minute about the scholarship, and spent the next 40 minutes breaking down each aspect of his depth chart, including a 5 minute rant on how good Cameron Newton would be, funny because Newton got arrested for stealing laptops about 2 weeks later.

Then, the whole crowd stood in line for another hour to get his autograph. Boy, I was thrilled. What a privilege it was to hear him speak.

[FirstTimer]

A predictable quasi-ex post facto move, but that doesn't even make sense because you applauded a post that mostly took Meyer to task. Moron.

Then again it shows I don't have to agree with an entire post or any part of a post to thank it. Fag. *Warner for HOF Thread*
