First I would like to start by saying this...

NOBODY IS frickING OKAY WITH LOSING TJ

YOURE JUST SUCH A frickING PETULANT NEGATIVE frick THAT YOU CANT SEE WHATS HAPPENING IN FRONT OF YOU. PLAYERS ARE WIDE frickING OPEN AND APPLEBY CANT frickING HIT shite. THE DAY WE GET A frickING QUARTERBACK THAT ISNT A PUSSY AND SHITTY WILL BE THE DAY WERE CHAMPIONS. frick YOU. YOU REVEL IN FLORIDA LOSSES AND YOU SAY shite TO GET A REACTION LIKE THIS OUT OF PEOPLE. frick. YOU.

Now that I got that off my chest,

The play calling sucked at times. But the coaches had a good plan and you could see that. It was a plan that could win the game. You can't turn the ball over if you wanna beat Bama. We spotted them 16 points because Appleby just simply isn't a Florida level quarterback. I thought that was a 38-14 type game that appeared worse than it was. Don't get me wrong, they whipped our asses, but it wasn't nearly as bad, especially at halftime, as the final score indicated. Hell, we should've made it 33-23 midway through the 3rd quarter despite the turnovers, and who knows what happens from there.

But you cannot shite on the coaches for this game. This game sold me even more that Mac has a brilliant offensive mind. He needs to either replace Nuss or take over the play calling because Nuss makes some major WTF calls sometimes. Mac got too aggressive on the fake punt and should have called it off when we had to burn a TO before the play. I'd rather him be overly aggressive than to be a giant pussy though. He was playing to win and I respect that. It was poorly executed. We need to make a change with the special teams. They are clueless. Burning two timeouts because the special teams can't get their shite together is unacceptable, especially in a game of this magnitude.

At this point, I'm sold on Mac's vision for the program, commitment to improving the facilities and the organization, and his offensive mind. He needs to make some tweaks to the staff, namely the special teams coach, and perhaps the OC and the OL coach. I'd also like to see Mac turn the momentum of playing for a championship and winning a lot of ball games into recruiting momentum. I think recruiting will pick up when the offense gets more fun to watch, and I think throwing for 261 yards with the shite were throwing out there at QB right now shows that we're going to be fine on offense once we get a QB. The OL pass blocked well considering who we just played and the running backs ran hard. You just can't line up man to man with them and run on them. They're too good. All in all, we got a look at where we are vs where we need to be. They are the gold standard and this was more of an example of what we're building our way towards. I'm proud of the way they fought and I'm proud to be a Gator. Losing sucks and is never acceptable. But I am excited about the future and I'm excited to watch our program grow. We'll see them next year and get another crack at them then.

Go Gators!

I thought the gameplan was probably the best put together game plan the coaches created all season.

The usage of Powell on 1st downs to get positive 4-5 yards, putting Callaway in 1 on 1s with Minkah, the throwback screen (why the frick hasn't this play been run since Tennessee?), the usage of TEs, etc...

Its sounds kinda strange given the fact we lost by 38.

But the offensive gameplan was spot on. The execution (fricking Applebees missing WIDE OPEN WRs...) was another story.

Yep it's my fault we've been outscored 85-29 the last 2 Games. That we're averaging 29 yards rushing the last 2 games. We're basically a poor Texas tech. Your anger should be directed at Butters for this shite show.
