    Glad you've decided we need to lower the bar, but I don't agree.

    There’s no lower bar. We have to play the games though and the other teams aren’t chumps and are trying to win too.

    Florida football has had 8+ win seasons five times in the last decade. I don't think asking for 8 wins is too crazy. Unless you've accepted mediocrity.

    Yeah, I guess strictly speaking, Talkin' Season is over when Practicin' Season starts. So, for the team it's over, but, for us, I'll be happy when Swamp Watchin' Season starts...

    I didn’t mention it but, when I posted my comment I was thinking of the busted fake punt Kirby called against Bama when Kirby was still playing 2nd fiddle to Saban. A lot of fun was made at Kirby’s expense. Yes, having the highest quality players has helped Georgia overcome bad calls and other mistakes that occur on the field. Too bad Kirby hasn’t found an honorable way to deal with off field issues. If he doesn’t, it could be his undoing.

    The grammar police – calling out what probably is a talk-to-text misspelling…

    That's funny. My talk to text would type that as "you're confused" 10 out of 10 times. IOS is pretty good with the grammar. In any case, having such a mishap in a post where you're insulting someone's intelligence is something I've always found ironic.

    He doesn’t need to have an answer to that question as he won’t be anywhere near the room where that decision is ultimately made. Neither will you, but you go ahead and continue dreaming up every imaginable situation you can dream up that might result in the coach getting fired.

    Doesn’t take a genius to realize that you’re a dope. It’s so easy a fisherman can do it.

    It's no wonder I was making so many errors... I have no service to check my spelling or grammar. :eek:

    One more time... Can't we all just get along?

    How do you know our talent level is better than our opponents?

    8/31 Sat vs. #50 Miami (Florida) (0-0) - VERY close
    9/7 Sat vs. NR Samford - Clearly more talented
    9/14 Sat vs. #29 *Texas A&M (0-0) - Possibly less talented
    9/21 Sat @ #55 *Mississippi State (0-0) - More talented, but the game is at Cowbell Hell
    10/5 Sat vs. #49 Central Florida (0-0) - More talented
    10/12 Sat @ #16 *Tennessee (0-0) - Possibly less talented
    10/19 Sat vs. #33 *Kentucky (0-0) - Probably pretty even
    11/2 Sat vs. #1 *Georgia (0-0) @ Jacksonville, FL - Clearly less talented
    11/9 Sat @ #6 *Texas (0-0) - Clearly less talented
    11/16 Sat vs. #9 *Louisiana State (0-0) - Less talented
    11/23 Sat vs. #12 *Mississippi (0-0) - Less talented
    11/30 Sat @ #14 Florida State (0-0) - Probably less talented

    Remember, other teams ALSO recruit well and use the Portal as well or better than we do. To say we clearly have the talent to win, this means that (a) Jessies and Joes are greater than X's and O's, or (b) if we lose, it HAS to be because of the coaching.

    I've seen this movie before - many times...

    That was ONE play. Made Fields feel abused and he transferred. But still, only one play.
