It's Miller Time - Oregon State (-8) v Gators...

Players skipping bowl games has nothing to do with NIL or the transfer portal, the trend of bowl game skipping was increasing before either of them came to be.

As for selfishness, let's play a meaningful postseason game and see if anyone walks away before we start calling people out. The truth is, if you had a chance at millions and were asked to risk it for something completely meaningless, you'd say no as well.
If it’s completely meaningless then why risk anybody, why play it at all?
 
Someone said it before, but it's less hard to deny that the problem is less to do with the coaches laying eggs....and more to do with Stricklin.

Don't get me wrong, Napier deserves a couple more years to show something.....but this year declined, not improved.

I hope he makes it but if he doesn't get things working and go 8-4 next season it might not work out. I dont think he can afford another 6-6 with a freshman QB and survive after the next year - year 3.

In retrospect the defense played pretty well until the 3 and out out offense wore them out.
 
It doesnt matter who played QB today they wouldnt have stood a chance, Offensive line is terrible, play calling is terrible, talent level is terrible. Where do you start to fix the Florida Gators. Sad we have to kick a damn field goal to protect some streak. I dont blame the fans for booing cause it was comical as hell. I wish I really knew what Spurrier thought of the product that we are putting on the field.

Just the facts/stats ma'am...

Miller Time:
Passing - 13 of 22, 59.1% for 180 Yds, 0 TD's, 0 Ints, 4 Sacks
Lucky that 2 Ints were caught out of bounds....
Rushing - 13 for 45 yds, 3.5 YPC, -- 39 Net yds, 1.2 YPC

Etienne 1.8 ypc
Johnson 1.3 ypc
Pearsall -2 ypc

Receiving
Pearsall 4 for 65 yds
TC-Bowman 2 for 53 yds
Douglas 2 for 25 yds
Odom 2 for 24 yds
Etienne 1 for 9 yds
SeDaros 0
Johnson 1 for -6 yds

And they needed a FG in the final minute to preserve UF's no shut-out record....
==========

OSU
Passing -- 17 of 26, 65.4% for 189 Yds, 1 TD, 2 Sacks
Rushing -- 39 for 190 Yds, 4.2 ypc, 3 TD's

1st Qtr 7 Pts - 2nd Qtr 3 Pts -- 3rd Qtr 13 Pts - 4th Qtr 7 Pts
1st half = 10 Pts -- After the half time adjustments 20 Pts, missed x-Pt.
==========

Great Coach
Great QB
Great DC
So don't change a thing....

Watched my 13th Gators game today and still DID NOT see Maxine on the side line. I am really beginning to wonder if Brownie is ON the team. Maybe Brownie is the manager of our SEC Champion Volleyball team. I did see Engel for a brief moment handing Miller something to drink so he must make the Gatorade for the team.

Brown wouldn't be ready to play for 3-4 more years,,,,, under the current QB coaching....
If Max was lucky, he missed the plane... (or your head/eyes are in the usual place you keep them)

Tebow,

I suspect, that since SOS has been around such a long time & has had to walk through the fire so many times, that, unless you knew him extremely well, all you would get is "Coach Speak."

But as the Ultimate Gator, I doubt he is very happy with this year's performance.

He is probably getting numb to it since Meyer left.

If there's anything that Spurrier sucks at, it's hiding his feelings.

Spurrier would have put in the 3rd string QB after that shameful first half performance. A lot of people have forgotten how Shane Mathews and Danny W became starters and all conference and Heisman Trophy winners. Playing players that you hope won't embarrass you is not a recipe for a successful program. Throw the next ones in line in there and let them have a chance to succeed. What an embarrassment Miller was.

Ah yes, my reading comprehension is so poor I don't know how plurals work.

Right?

But if you want to edit your quote, only highlight the things you want to acknowledge, be bereft of humor, and call me Dunny, then you should probably reconsider your life choices, Instalite.
 
The “talent” excuse is a bill of goods we are being sold.

How have Oregon State’s recruiting classes been ranked?

You are either a good coach or you are not. Nobody can argue that we didn’t regress this year…we didn’t develop talent…we wasted it…we are a worse program today than we were under Mullen…we have no identity…we have no heart…we have no leadership…

That is the truth…

There is no objective measure you can use to say we are moving in the right direction…

I am holding out some hope there was a former players issue and it's year 1 only things. Some things do stick out though with how we lost some of these games.

I love you, we've been in the trenches for 15+ years, but good lord.

I can't BELIEVE I'm the one who has to ask you to lay off the bourbon.

It'll be okay, it really will.

But maybe I've softened in my old age.

Agreed 100%
 
Sorry guys but if you’re going to judge a coach with a boatload of players who abandon ship the way a lot of these guys did then Napier deserves better. What was he supposed to do? Run most of the team off and use walk ones? Just show a little patience.
 
We had little talent before all the opt outs, so not sure what anyone expected today. Kept it close, but the fake punt and the blocked punt opened the flood gates. We need trench guys desperately.

Trench guys, wide receivers, safeties, linebackers, etc., etc. It will take a lot of effort for us old guys to learn all the names of the new guys on the team next season. Going to be an interesting off season and it needs to be very, very active and productive if we're going to do any better in 2023.

I think you're probably right Ocala. From the 22 that started today my guess is roughly 8 or so will start next year.

No other team in the nation makes excuses regarding “talent” gaps like we do. Everybody else seems to absorb losses or work around them just fine, but not Florida…if. we lose one good player we are immediately non-competitive…

sadgator has had “patience” for like the last 13 years and past 4 coaching regimes…sadgator is tired of being bamboozled and being sold promises and optimism and catch phases and rationalizations…

You want to win sadgator over…put up or shut up…don’t blame the situation…if you need to scheme around lesser talent…figure out a way…

Everybody else seems to be able to do it…except us…because we have to be patient…
 
And feel free to give us a Team Class Ranking comparison with LAC-12 OreSt....
Apparently some coaches can do more with less, while others can do less with more.... (I'll leave it to others to decide which is which)
 
Y'all realize Danny and Navi got more fire than the whole team put together? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That said, Im with Sadgator. I've been putting up with shitty football, with the exception of the Kyles, since Tebow left. Show me something or go away. You can start by hiring an OC and finding a competent DC.

Buddy I need you to back me up on ridiculousness.

What tattoo do you need?
 
Running out skin brother... :)

That's what I feared.

Your skin was an inky place my fiat could find no purchase

(For the record, Navi, that's what drunk, one more gin and tonic and a cigarette while listening to Pavarotti and Sinatra sounds like, and it's still gold).
