I feel your pain man...as a Gator fan who just had to endure the Ron Zook era, I know the frustration of mediocrity. I think it's unrealistic to expect a program to be elite every year (by elite, I mean a legit MNC contender), but I expect at a minimum for UF to compete for the SEC every year. There is NO excuse for them not to. I'm not saying they should win it, but they should be playing in November with the chance to go to Atlanta.

I think the thing that frustrated me the most about the Zook era was that the talent was there, but the coaching/game management was so inept. We couldn't win a close game to save ourselves. When your team is underperforming for the talent that is on the roster, that is when it gets frustrating.

In Miami's case, I'd give RS another year or so before I get really PO'd.
