I have seen losses turned into moral victories before, but I don't think I've ever seen

a 19 point loss turned that way. Especially not by a team that has been a top ten mainstay the past two decades. How the mighty have fallen.

It’s year one of Mullen, don’t confuse overall optimism for Moral Victories. We don’t have the players to beat you right now, we are hoping Mullen finds a way to get an uptick in recruiting. In my opinion if we ever get to even or close talent to you guys again, Mullen is going to coach circles around Kirby Smart. I think everybody watching that game took that impression away that isn’t biased. We will see if Mullen can find a way to close the gap in recruiting, because Kirby doesn’t seem like he’s going to slow down. We will see what happens.

They noted it themselves in the game threads, but of course everyone is a champion after the game instead of when we're playing it. It isn't a moral victory, of course we want to win, but there's plenty of reason to feel more confident.

Down three starting defensive backs and with Franks at Quarterback, we won't beat many teams. But when Mullen gets his Quarterback and players, I think it's brutally obvious who is more strategic.

What is bias? I'd say getting waxed by 28 points in your first head to head, and 19 in your second head to head, and your fans thinking you are the better coach.

I'd get some of this if these were close games. But they weren't. You had the lead in this game for about 3 to 4 snaps from scrimmage....by one point.

I get that you're a retarded meathead who can't even begin to understand nuance and context, but I'm going to try:

Feleipe Franks is a bad Quarterback that Mullen inherited. Behind him is a high school backup (who, admittedly, is probably better than Franks but isn't backed by the team) and a True Freshman. Beating Franks isn't hard, but it was more than obvious by the first play where our receiver blazed by your safety only to be overthrown that Mullen had called a good game. Literally the first play was a touchdown if we didn't have a potato playing Quarterback. So judging your defense vs. our offense is kind of silly considering it's not really Mullen's offense or team.

Defensively, we were missing both starting cornerbacks and our starting safety. It doesn't take an offensive genius to, you know, throw at backup defensive backs and eventually put the points up against an exhausted defense.

At the end of the day, if Franks isn't the Quarterback, we're probably beating you and pretty soundly. Florida ran very easily, surprisingly well against your defense until Franks potatoed.

tl;dr

It was 17 - 23 (one possession) in the fourth quarter with 8:39 minutes left to play until the defense gassed because of egregiously bad play from Franks that kept them on the field for longer than they should have been.

You guys won't be that lucky in the years to come when Mullen gets his own players.

That’s a lot of words to say I’m angry and think my teams coach is better even though he routinely loses by 20’points

Florida lost by 19. Just as inbred as your mascot.

That'd be Georgia you're thinking of -- like that one time they lost to LSU by 20.

Butttt...Florida didn't do it! Auburn beat them last year too! How did that turn out? The fact is, the Gayturds, are destined to loose to The Dawgs for the next SEVERAL years!

I’ll take the coach that wins over the coach that supposedly coaches circles around his opponent in a losing effort.
