    How is Florida any different than any other big time program? Boosters fund the programs and HANDLING BOOSTERS is part of the gig everywhere. If you can't do it then you won't last long. The dogs will come for you the second they smell blood.

    Sure, I guess it's more toxic in some places but I never thought of Florida being that kind of place.

    Florida is just a different animal in the extreme. It takes someone who is the extreme as well to get them straight and pulling behind a coach. They have only had 2 really successful coaches in their history which they believe is a national blue blood. Just as you stated, the perception is they are a big time program and Bull Gators believe they are on par with Bama. Until Spurrier they were middle of the road SEC team. A little above that some years at best. Sure you have to glad hand at any program but their booster factions are just beyond extra. And Florida has factions within their booster network, big time.
