I hate to be the Daniel downer but I think we need to pump the brakes a little bit here. Getting to Atlanta is fantastic, but we have lowered the bar considerably if that is how we measure a season. We were run off the field by Tennessee and Arkansas this year. That is not what I consider great. We have beaten one ranked team and we hung on by our fingernails to do it.

We were not supposed to win either of those games, nor were we supposed to win LSU. We're in the Driver's seat for the East, who would want to play at any other school right now?

At Florida, Freshmen can make a difference.

It's one of the reasons we swung Eddie -- playing time. McElwain's recruits made the only plays on offense yesterday aside from Scarlett.

Who's to say we dont win in Atlanta? I sure wont. So when we win in Hotlanta will some of yous (My Cousin Vinny accent) get over it??

Of course Im not satisfied by just reaching Atlanta...and we shouldnt be satisfied...but it doesnt mean we have to be unhappy either....as long as we realize progress in the program is being made....and it is.

Dude, I'll say it again: We weren't bowling a few years ago and almost missed out on another.

Last year we ended on straight losses and it was tough.

That said: I'm happy to be in Atlanta. We hadn't done it for five years running and now we've done it twice and we're probably going to repeat next year barring an epic meltdown.

I'm happy with the product, and if we beat Bama then I'll be even happier, but no matter what:

I'm proud of my fricking Gators. Playing their hearts out, fighting with everything and coming out on top.
