I'm oddly not as bothered by the loss as I usually am

In the past I would've been livid to lose like that under the circumstances, but something just seems different. Obviously, you never want to lose, but this game stands to serve as a wake up call. We've now been put into survive and advance mode.

It feels like I've been teleported to 2008 again when I was still 75% Gator. Yeah, losing that game sucked, but I knew something great would come from it. The LSU game is starting to feel the same way. Sure, some of you are upset with Bo's comments, but believe it or not he's right and if Freeze is all in he'll trust his senior QB to go out and win instead of handcuffing the offense. Freeze needs to get back to the aggressive style that we all know this team is built for. Let our offense loose and stop calling plays not to lose. The screens to Quon and wheels to Walton need to be put back in.

We're going to be okay. The sky isn't falling.

I am with you. My wife and Dad were pretty mad, but I just went with it. This season has been above expectations so far and in my mind we are ahead of where we all thought we would be.

We win at least 1 out of the next 3 SEC games and that puts better than the previous 2 years and a winning record in conference play. We have an outstanding chance to win 2 more and might even get them all.

Losing to LSU was not the end of the world, the way we lost was a huge bummer.

This season is far from a WAOM season.

I'm pretty meh about the whole thing right now. If Freeze keeps up the conservative bullshite I'll be mad.

The differing comments from him and Bo have me worried. If there's tension between those two then it will permeate the locker room and our team will melt the frick down and we will only have one win left on our schedule.

I'll either be all in afte Saturday or giving up on the season. We'll see.

The only thing I'm mad about is the injuries and their direct effect on this upcoming game...

My biggest concern is Freeze lack of ability to get his best player the freaking ball. He couldn't get Moncrief the ball last year enough. This year Treadwell is a big zass decoy. I don't see why we can't move him around. There is no way he should have less than 10 targets a game. No way.

This game this week is the biggest game of Hugh Freeze career. Why? This team could go from #3 to a two loss team who then feels they have nothing to play for. Going to the Cotton Bowl doesn't feel anywhere near the way it did in 08 if we only won 2 of our last 5. This program needs this win.

I'm bothered by how we lost more than the loss itself.

I agree with everything you said. Gotta go back to the bubble screens. I know freeze wants to be balanced but, frick that. The pass can open up our run game and the bubble screens are essentially runs.
