U lost to georgia southern lol How can u even talk crap? Yeah us losing that game looked pretty bad but not as bad as losing to Georgia freakin Southern lol its ok...breathe. U dont have to put down ur rivals every chance u get. I promise u will live if u dont lol
Dont be such a seminole fan
What does Georgia Southern have to do with the 2008 Florida Gator football team? Didn't somebody say the 2008 UF football team lost to a bad opponent that kept that team from going undefeated.
Reading comprehension is obviously lacking among many of you.
The whole discussion was about good teams losing to mediocre to bad teams. The UF team that lost to Georgia Southern wasn't any good.

It's interesting how polarizing Trickett is. He's definitely had some good OL's here. 2013 was one of the best in the country. 2010 was good after Datko came back from injury. 2014 was good after they moved Cam to center. 2012 was solid for the most part. The 2011 and 2016 OL's were absolutely terrible though. It's almost unimaginable how bad they were. My 2 biggest gripes with Trick are:
1. We always seem to run block wayyyyyyyy better than we pass block. I get that run blocking is easier because you're dictating as opposed to reacting, but our pass pro is always significantly behind our run blocking. Even in 2015 when our OL wasn't any good we were 17th nationally in yards per carry. Couldn't protect the passer though.
2. He has a habit of benching upperclassmen and rolling out some young pup. Starting Rick Leonard last year against Ole Miss blew my mind (that's on Jimbo too). I get that we don't see practice but experience is absolutely crucial at OL and QB. You can't just throw a kid into the fire like that. I have a feeling we'll do the same thing against Bama with Baveon Johnson. We'll bench the RS-JR and start a FR against Bama because he looks good in shorts. Then he'll get eaten alive and we'll hear about how we're young on the OL. Yeah, we're young on the OL because you don't play the veterans. Drives me crazy.
I dont think 2013 was one of the best in the country. We had Jameis, who made them look better than they were. Look at the 14 line, absolutely horrific and there was only one starter who was different and it was the center. Until they moved our LT over to Center, poor Jameis was getting ABUSED. That didnt happen until the 8th or 9th game so calling them good is just not accurate. In 13, the Auburn game, same thing. We never seem to have an o line that plays well in big games.
What ticks me off about trickett is that we seem confused on who to block even when they are right in front of them. There was a highlight circulating after the wake forest game last year when they rushed 3 people and our RG and RT both just stood and there and got split because they got confused.
It is that kind of crap that has been happening for years. Look at the 13 NC game, on the game winning play to KB. Bobby Hart straight whiffs his guy but Jameis makes a quick decision and wins us the game. Had that been SMag we get sacked and lose. My point is, Jameis masked a ton of o line problems for 2 years.
Yes it does seem that we run block better as of late but is that becuz the o line is better or becuz we had Dalvin Cook the last 3 yrs? I know it works both ways but Cook helped them out a lot. Think about all the 3rd and 1's or 3rd and 2's that we cant convert. WHy is that? WHy did we have to run a reverse on a 2 point conversion against Ole Miss this year? Our o line is not that great. Trickett needs to move on, he is old and i dont think he has the energy for it anymore.
Back to the original topic...
I don't know who will win. I assume Bama, but that's strictly from habit. What I will be rooting for is a blowout. Either way, dont care, just want one team or the other being exposed. Well, actually, it's more what I don't want, which is a tight game where both come out still in the title hunt. Actually, what I REALLY, REALLY want is to beat Michigan, and eff what everybody else is doing.

I disagree on the '13 OL. They were definitely one of the 3-4 best OL's in the country. I think people have an unrealistic view of what an elite OL looks like in modern day college football. The days of dominant OL's are pretty much over. The caliber of athlete playing DL nowadays is just insane. OL are pretty much always outmatched on that front. People talk about Bama's OL like they're always dominant but when they won the 2015 title they were 46th in yards per carry and 59th in sacks allowed. That's just the nature of the beast now. OL is the hardest position to be consistently good at.
I don't think you can attribute all of our ground success to Dalvin. In 2013 we were 10th in yards per carry. 4th in 2012. 28th in 2010 and we played a ton of good defenses that year. With the exception of 2011 we've run the ball pretty respectably as of late. We give up way too many sacks though.
These are the gator posts I miss. F what the conference rival do it's all about your own squad. With that said, we better bring our A game messing around with Bama
just because the SEC has the best overall team for many years, that doesn't mean those people care about the conference just because they are stating facts and their team is in that conference too... It happens because non sec fans are the worst from trying to talk down the better football teams yearly... Ohio State fans will never get that dick out of their throat from ten years ago...
I've never been much of an "S-E-C" chanter myself, except, of course when Florida was winning it, and that was more of a "we're the best, in your face, rest of SEC" kind of a thing. Never seen the point of reflected glory. However, what I DON'T like is when other teams trash the SEC, because we're part of it, so we are being trashed as well. So in general (except for Georgia) I root for SEC teams in interconference and bowl games. Not because I like them, because I don't, but rather that, given the choice, secondhand glory is preferable to secondhand derision.
SEC fans root for other SEC teams in bowls and games now because of how badly the rest of the country hates all SEC teams and tries to down the teams like they aren't the best, the way people talk about the conference says it all to begin with and the dominance each bowl season...
Can't be a sig bet...JD locked mine down and the entire Rivals technical staff can't figure out how to fix it.
Greatest home smearing in the history of the program.
It got rid of Jeff Bowden!
And got us Jimbo.
Ty Wake!
Which is a testament to Jimbo Fisher's coaching. He is good for at least one shitty game a year, unless he has a #1 draft pick leading the team.
For us it was the MSU game with Zook. I guess it was the USCe game with Muschamp.
Then name your stakes. BTW, this is a tacit admission by you that you indeed annoy us on purpose.
That's dependent upon your interpretation of my post. I'll clarify, then you can decide if you'd like to maintain your stance.
- I post on this board 2nd only to the Locker Room on "my" board.
- I only post in the LR and TC at WC and I'm assuming you still post on the smack board (which I haven't been on in a year).
If I were to lose, I'd lose the forum I post on 2nd most along with some intelligent discourse. If you were to lose, you'd be giving up the troll board which I'm certain you would barely notice.
So, in short, you'd be ridding yourself of me, but I not of you; not that I'm even seeking to do so.
Igloo, you are by no means the worst FSU fan in that regard. But own that fact that you do participate in the practice.
And why does it seemingly mean so much to you to post on our board?

Yes, admittedly from time-to-time, but normally only at the expense of certain posters. It isn't the norm nor the primary reason for my participation...and even then it's usually in jest. Take notice, there are many regular posters who are never on that receiving end and my dialog with them is fairly straight forward.
I've explained that fact ad nauseum.
