    Actually SI did a story that showed of the top 25 teams in 2009 7% of the players on their rosters had criminal records. So for a roster of 105 that would be 10.5 that would be arrested.

    Nice try, but no. Players can acquire a criminal record before they attend college. You can't just take the number and weld it to your use. Also, you didn't even do the math right. 7% of 105 is 7.35. Another flaw in your already mislead Buckeye logic: if there were 7.35 kids being arrested per year, the percentage of kids with criminal records on the team would be a LOT higher than 7.

  • All of you Florida fans are completely delusional. Even if Urban knew he was coming to OSU when he retired the second time he was completely in the right by doing it. HE IS FROM OHIO after all. And while Florida may have some pretty decent talent for HS football, OHIO is the top dog when it comes to coaches. Bob Stoops, Urban Meyer, Jim Tressel, Les Miles, Bo Pelini, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler, hell even Nick Saban and Pete Carroll got their starts in Ohio.

    What is embarassing is Florida's loss to Louisville in the bowl game. They were completely destroyed by a team that has trouble beating Pittsburgh (who got beat by Youngstown State University) Additionally Florida should have lost to Bowling Green when they played last year also. Urban gave you two national championships, singlehandedly brought your program back to relevance and when he decides to go back to his HOME you blame him for your problems which are more aptly blamed on the moronic hire of Muschamp.

    Now you decide to attack Dave Biddle who exposed Matt Hayes for the dildo that he is. I really hope you are singing the same toon in ten years when Muschamp has won nothing and Urban's recruits are long gone. But your probably right, Urban was a horrible talent evaluator. He was dumb enough to sign Tebow and Cam Newton who both have a heisman to their name.

    By reality you mean the past? Before we had coach Meyer?

    To be honest, I don't really see you all (correct usage) getting to a NC game again any time soon. That's reality, bud.

    Reality is you can not beat us or anybody else in this conf.

  • My only true point for you Dave is, if you get paid for what you do, I think most would expect you to do it maturely and objectively. Which let's be honest, doesn't always happen.

    Having 7% of player on a roster with criminal records doesn't equal having 5-6 per year. You should retake your math/logic classes.

    105 on roster per year with an average of 7-10% attrition would make it about right wouldn't you think. I think my math is fine.

    Disclaimer: It's a bit higher at Michigan.

    Kidding.

    But yes, that is the average. If you want to do the research for the exact figures, have at it. I promise you 5-6 players per year is a good ballpark estimate. Everyone acts like Meyer ran this renegade program at Florida. Not factual. They were on top and it highlighted some of the issues, but their # of arrests were not out of congruence with the rest of major D-I/FBS football programs.

    "Ballpark estimates" don't cut it for a staff writer who works at 247. Prove it.

    Before Urban, Florida State & Miami were the class in the state of Florida. More titles, better head to head wins, better recruiting classes, and overall better national perception. Urban and his assistants changed this almost immediately. In his tenure, he literally owned Florida. Sure, other factors existed, Urban took full advantage while winning 2 Championships, top 5 recruiting classes every year, and he buried FSU.

    He didn't save anything, he took it to the highest level.

    while overall I see what you are saying, some minor things I want to correct you on.

    Under zook while the wins on the field was severely lacking, recruiting was about the only thing he was good at....and he dominated. You don't remember the "oh well Urban just beat Ohio State with zooks players" routine you guys and our rivals through out after 06?

    that entire team was zooks players minus percy/tebow and most of them were all highly recruited.

    So now UF wasn't losing out to FSU or UM on "better recruiting classes".

    FYI Zooks last year he beat FSU at FSU, on the night they named the field after Bowden which started the nickname "ron zook memorial field".

    Who cares how many were arrested when he was in FL? Urbs was loved by yall when he was your coach, you weren't crying when he was winning for you

    Yes! A Wolverine fan saying they have "no dog in the fight." Hilarity.

    Please, tell me where I said I "shouldn't be expected to write non-biased articles." The point was Hayes' article was clearly biased and it never mentioned he was a UF grad.

    PS: About 10 Bucknuts subscribers have PM'd me informing me they've been banned from this board in the last 30 minutes or so. Interesting. But Michigan fans are coming over here to flame. Nice.

    These Florida fans have different opinions than you do. They are stating their points, and you continue to "refute" them with your beyond obvious OSU bias. If you're going to continue getting paid by this site, I would recommend you stop being so sensitive and stick closer to your board. You're obviously causing an up-roar throughout this thread and you should be embarrassed by it. Just know when to stop, which was about 5 pages earlier. And don't respond to this post, because I know you'll read it, and that would just be too ironic.

    On with your nights Gator fans! I like y'all. Just don't try to steal another one of our stud OLinemen cheers

    So, him coming onto a website which is in the network that he works in and responding to a thread devoted to a piece that he wrote is immature and un-objective? lol Please. Journalism is evolving, most is done via the internet these days, so for a writer to interact with his readers is actually pretty progressive; but I'm sure you won't see that with your God-awful maize and blue blinders on.

    Most schools average 7-10% attrition so that is the logic. And I stand corrected it is 7.35, but doesn't change the fact that Dave is pretty spot on in his assessment of arrests.
