    Let's keep the discussion on Gator football and today's game. We have a lot to celebrate from today's 2nd half victory.

    That is 3 times more injuries than any other team who has a game today in the SEC. Snake-bitten, to be sure. Frustrating to see it happen to a quality guy like CBN, but he is handling it pretty darn well!

    I thought this was a post game thread.. It seems every thread all the talk is about replacing CBN, which SS already said isn't happening. Hence my previous use of the R word.

    He has about 8 million reasons to handle it well

    Teams not good. Enough of the participation trophies. We look like a d2 football team who got paid to play Texas today. It’s embarrassing. We got crushed period. Game was over at half.

    And we can pretend that Texas didn't empty their bench in the second half. Ewers was discussing wealth management with Matthew McConahey with his baseball cap on. Face facts. Even if we had a healthy Mertz/Lagway and a sound defensive secondary, Texas would have beaten us. We are not an elite team or program.

    I've been a Gator fan for over 50 years and a Gator since 1982. We were an elite team from 1983-1985, 1990-2001, and 2006-2009. Aside that, we were just another team with occasional flashes of greatness. Since joining the SEC in 1933 (91 years), we had 20 seasons with two or fewer losses. Georgia had that since 1971. Alabama had that since 1991. Ohio State hade that since 2002. Texas had that since 1963. Tennessee since 1960. Clemson since 1971. Notre Dame since 1965. FSU since 1980. Michigan since 1980. Nebraska since 1973. Oklahoma since 1980. Penn State since 1973. USC since 1969. And no, don't rationalize it by saying "but we play in the SEC."

    I'm not bad-mouthing our Gators (and my alma mater). We had some great runs under Pell/Hall, SOS and Meyer, and had some great solid teams. But to say that those eras are our minimum standard and that we are a top tier program is not only inaccurate, but is also insulting to the greatness of the coaches that lifted us to that standard during the time they are here. If Pell, Spurrier and Meyer are the minimum standard, then we delegitimize their extraordinary accomplishments at Florida.

    Save Lagway for the semis. Don't think they can beat LSU or Ole Miss.

    Our secondary is decimated right now. 4 DBs out today. What did you expect? I expected exactly what happened.

    I understand why the mods like turning every thread into a cbn thread.. traffic goes up, posts go up, revenue goes up. SS threw a wet blanket on all that.

    I'd still rather keep CBN for another year and have the new president clean house with a new AD who can make the hire, if that is the direction he/she goes.. rather than a half assed firing and search this year by SS.. So keep whining about cbn if it makes you feel better.

    If only we could fight for 4 consecutive quarters in the same game. Have we played a complete game under Napier?

    Sarkisian went for it on 4th and 1 from his 25 yard line. We attempt a FG on 4th and 2 from their 6 yard line and miss it. The difference in aggressiveness makes me wonder. Napier is playing with house money, so to speak, and he still plays it conservative. FGs were not going to win this game.

    He was complimenting the team and wants to keep seeing BN progress and you are riding him. The only person talking about get rid of Billy is you.
