Georgia won a couple during the Spurrier years. Kirby is not unbeatable.

---

No he is not, but UF is not at a level of program that will be able to beat GA regularly. When was the last time GT beat UGA? UF is in worse shape than the nerds.

quote:

---

How about: Florida will win a couple over the next few years.

---

Unless you anticipate that Kirby retires after this season and is replaced by Butch Jones, or if by "next few years" you mean 30-35 years, I don't see it.

Yep I am not that motivated anymore to attend games

---

Same. I am seriously trying to talk myself into getting motivated to attend some games. I do have season tickets for this year but if Sumrall proves to be another retard (and that can be hard to determine in year 1 but my patience is gone with this program) I will not renew next year. If he can show me something, anything, to get excited about this program again I will renew. It's hard to say what that would be, but it's something that can be felt. For example, year 2 of Golden's MBK we lost in the first round of the tourney, but you could feel a buzz building around the program. I had high expectations for year 3 and they were surpassed with a Natty Run. For now, lots of off-season hype and "this year feels different" talk but I've been hearing that for a while now every off-season and none of that shite moves me at all anymore.

Some of the fanbase is either mad or have given up it seems. UF Football has to win them over now. Not many are like us, huge Football fans. The casual fan makes up 90 percent of all fanbases in all sports of every team.

---

I know a guy who was a season ticket holder for 44 years and went to nearly every game, home and on the road.

After this past off-season, he did not renew his tickets. He said he'll go to a game or two each year moving forward, but that's about it.

Another guy is from a multi-generation family Gator boosters and said that they're all done with the program now.

quote:

---

How much did it suck if your team lost a game in October and it meant your season was over. There are now more meaningful games.

---

In some ways yes, and others no.

There are more meaningful games in that a 1 or 2 loss team still could make the playoffs, but a lot of late season games between undefeated or 1 loss teams mean a lot less now since both are likely shoe-ins for the playoffs. Especially if they expand to 24 teams :yack:

quote:

---

, it seems like there's 10-12 teams that can win it at all.

---

Is there? :confused:

Looking at last year's 12 team pool, how many had a real shot?

JMU, Tulane, Texas Tech, OU, Bama...zero shot

UGA, Ohio State: probably had a shot based on talent but were flawed as a team in other ways. I'll count them as having a shot on talent alone.

Oregon...no. They had a favorable route to the semis and got routed by an actual contender.

That leaves IU, Miami, Ole Miss (With UGA and OSU getting eliminated by two of those 3 in earlier rounds).

So last year, 3-5 teams had an actual shot of winning it all.

---

Is College Football better now than it was 10 years ago?

---

In some ways it's better, in others it's worse.

I don't mind the portal or NIL, but the expanded playoffs has taken a lot of luster off the regular season, particularly rivalry week.

Overall, that alone has made me a lot less interested in watching CFB.

quote:

---

if he screws the pooch, fans may be finally done with Florida football.

---

I was very close but I'll admit that he has won me over a bit. Enough to give him a chance. But if he is also a bust...yeah :wah:

quote:

---

Are you thinking of ULaLa? Cause Tupac had just died and our players were depressed.

---

I was thinking it had more to do with them having future NFL QB Jake Delhomme and for some weird reason you guys travelled to play the game at Cajun Field :wtf:

quote:

---

That's a lot of words to tell us how you really feel about Mullen touching you.

---

Or I could've just said that he's not that good of a coach.
