re: Looking forward: UF @ Texas A&M

With today's win, I think one of the very few things Muschamp could have done to be on the hot seat (at least among anyone whose opinion matters) has been avoided. There seems to be this opinion that a coach deserves three years among athletic departments and coaches, so without something extremely excessive, I don't think you're going to see anyone fired after two for fear of looking too willing to throw a coach under the bus, hurting prospects for new hires. If today becomes the standard for the season, then he will be coaching for his job in 13.

I'm going to A&M next Saturday, and I am definitely nervous. I want to believe that they knew they could win today one way or another so they were just using this game to screw around with things to see what would happen before dealing with more serious talent. The key word there is want.

I do think Driskel looked worlds better today than last season. I can still remember being able to see his eyes like saucers from across the field last year when Bama spanked our arse. He actually looked hopeful at times today. However, worlds better than useless is not necessarily, particularly good. We shall see.
