re: Was last Saturday Florida's Greatest Loss in Program History?

Hmmmm. Not what I am seeing or hearing:


“Losing (is) NOT acceptable, especially in the Swamp! I have to step it up as a leader but I still love this team over Anybody Every Saturday,” tweeted Elam.

Elam later elaborated on his early-morning message, saying his tweet wasn’t directed at anyone specifically, but rather anyone commending Florida for its effort level in spite of defeat.

With the Gators having trimmed the margin from six points to two when it came to the team’s recent losses to the Crimson Tide, Elam simply wanted to put to rest the notion Florida was in any way satisfied with defeat.

“I feel like we shouldn't have any sympathy just because we lost by fewer points,” he said. “Even though we were projected to get mopped or whatever, but I feel like, I'm just telling the guys, like ‘listen, like what we did last week is over with, like, we have to play a lot better’.”

"I just really wanted to make a statement to not only Gator Nation, but to my team that a loss is unacceptable,” Elam said. “I just didn't feel good about us just being proud of that. I just feel like we just need to focus on winning. That’s all I want to do, I just want to win and help my team win.”
