    Unfortunately I had the same hunch.

    How many of you are actually going to watch the games that you know we’re going to get slaughtered. Do you sit in front of the television or do you just have the game on in the back. Would you brave the heat to tailgate?

    I'll always support the Gators, however the next several Saturdays my involve other things. I wish it were not so. The bottom has fallen out.

    I’d brave a great tailgate and enjoy the awesome company but never actually enter the stadium. We’ve seen the embarrassing product on the field, we know it’s not going to change anytime soon. Nobody invites me to tailgates so I just watch on espn 7641 and it’s basically just background noise/amuesment. I love the Gators and I’m not picking on us but this shitshow has been going on for so long and is so embarrassing and ultimately very, very sad. I don’t know what to do anymore other than laugh. Remember when two of our offensive players were blocking each other towards the beginning of this spiral like a decade ago and what a national joke that was? Our offensive linemen are so bad now they couldn’t even block each other now. Marinate on that for a moment.

    I will watch every game until I think it's out of reach. I watched every horrible second of the Miami game, but nowthe rest of the season, I'll only watch us until I feel we have no chance to win the game.

    You owe that to yourself, family, and friends especially if you happen to live near a cliff or deep water.

    Yeah the thrill is gone. It'll be nice if we win but really so what? It won't be like old times when the team is good but rather the other team is worse and we didn't screw it up. I'll be happy for the kids of course. But it's like a failed relationship. It's over. Might have a good day here or there but you just don't believe in it anymore.

    At this point if we had to pick an sec road game we are most likely to win, this would be it. Any other sec teams we are confident we would beat at this point? Yes that is a serious question after what he have witnessed.

    I think Florida will win this game rather comfortably. Miss State is not very good, especially on defense. Much like Samford, just what the Doctor ordered. A win here and the can gets kicked down the road 2 more weeks.

    Cmon man. They said he got hurt in practice. It is really crappy of you to sit out here and speculate that one of our best players is just sitting out with nothing to support it except, well, except nothing.

    Then when presented with the fact he got meniscus surgery you still want to sound it into something.

    It is a really crappy thing to say about Trey. But there's always someone in the crowd to defend a wild ass conspiracy theory.

    I never said the injury wasn't genuine and am not defending anyone's theory. We live in weird times and kids now "opt out" in ways unthinkable only years before. I mean no disrespect to Trey and impugn no motives. I simply raised the point that both statements could be true, not asserted that they were. It's not a wild conspiracy that pro players make business decisions about how and when they participate. In this bold new world of NIL and portal, I don't know what college kids think anymore.
