Looch was right on the money as usual. He should have brought up the directors cup standings. Florida athletics pale in comparison to A&M athletics.

Seriously? A&M is a great all around athletic program, but this is far from accurate. UF is the only school that has finished in the Top 10 of the Director's Cup every year since some version of it started 28 years ago. Not to mention a 4th place finish this year, making it 3 straight years in the Top 4.

Yeah, Florida is a great all around AD. I actually went to graduate school there. A&M's AD is really good now. Florida's has been for a long time.

I have trouble believing that Standford isn't on that list.

A&M's overall athletic department has improved GREATLY over the last decade--ironically at the same time that our football team has had perhaps it's worst run ever. From this point forward I don't think it's a stretch to say that our athletic department is on par with Florida's.

He is truly a piece of ****, but at least he is a d-bag to everyone.

I have a link, but it is to the UF official release, not sure it will make you believe it anymore. http://www.ufl.edu/athletics/

Like I said, I have a lot of respect for A&M and think they will compete in the SEC. But the comparison to UF is a little early. It was only a few years ago we were coming off a run of 2 NCs in basketball and 2 NCs in football all within 2 years of each other. I think this is why you get comments like that from Finebaum.

Yes, and we are the 2 time defending national champs in BOTH men's and women's track, as well as being the defending champs in women's BB. And we won the title in Men's golf a couple of years ago.

Florida clearly has us beat in the money sports, but if we are talking about the overall athletic department, then we are on par.

OK. I'm just a bit surprised. Standford must be slipping. They used to own that competition.

We may get a better football team to compete with them, but they will never compete with us on any other scale. Except maybe tree killing.

You forgot about Cut...we definitely win in the tree killing department

why listen if you know he's a tool?

You guys don't seem to understand the Finebaum is just like the majority of radio host in Texas in that they have an audience and they're going to play to that audience.

Florida has an outstanding athletic department and had a great run recently, but let's not get carried away. When was the last time Florida won a National Championship in a big three sport? It was several years ago. A&M won one several MONTHS ago.
Finebaum is just worried about A&M dominating his favorite school.

When I lived in Alabama I used to listen to him for comic relief. His basic format was baiting trailer trash into saying outrageous things. Some of his regular callers were very funny, in a pitiful sort of way. Most were Bama zealots. Imagine my surprise turning on Sirius 91 recently and they carry his show in the afternoon! Capitalism is amazing...
