Big raise for coach Urban Meyer
http://www.wptv.com/content/wptvsportsheadlines/story/urban-meyer-florida-gators-raise-football-college/auMdZahYZ0ihTVYcgHOsSg.cspx

Florida football coach Urban Meyer is getting a $750,000 raise.

The school said Monday that Meyer signed a six-year contract worth $4 million annually, up from $3.25 million, after leading the Gators to two national championships in the last three seasons. The new deal also makes Meyer co-chairman of a university scholarship program.

1. So that's why he wouldn't officially deny he wanted to go to Notre Dame!
Wanted a bargaining chip...greedy, SOB. Hell, they can afford it...the money must be pouring in with all those illegitimate national titles they have.

3. Oh my, someone needs a math lesson...2003 is not 2004, nor is it 2007...
...what logo do you have? Doesn't look familiar. is it of a team that never won anything?

5. You're right, I'm sure all the effects had just "worn off" by then.
Though Manny still seemed to be experiencing roid rage last year when he threw the Red Sox traveling secretary to the ground.

Anyways, nice change of subject there. While it's well known that the Eagles have never won a Super Bowl, that's a long ways from never winning anything. Why don't you go ahead and tell me how the Gators championships weren't legit?

6. Playoffs!
Utah was the better team last year...and ASU was better when they gave Florida a patsie to play in their bowl game...can't recall the one in between those two...there was an undefeated who got screwed also.

11. So which NCAA Football champions *have* been legit?
You'll never hear me argue that the BCS is a better system than a playoff system would be, but it is what it is. Florida deserved to be in both those games and they deserved to win both of them. Complain all you want, you're not going to convince me otherwise and you're not going to change the results.

7. Yeah, and I guess when Clemons and Petit was confirmed to be on roids
on those Yankee championships, that doesn't seem to matter. Oh, and no other team had guys on roids in 2003, not one, only the Red Sox.

12. Hey, fuck 'em all.
At least I haven't heard any of their fans have the nerve to complain about the Gators not being a legitimate champion.
