Thanks Gators!

Thanks Beav. Yesterday I took one of your posts wrong and fired back - by the time I realized my error the game thread was locked (which it always is after the game is over). So thanks for posting here today.

This is a real low point for our program so you’re catching us at our worst. Not used to watching our team play this bad - but 3 bad coaching hires over a 10 year span has done it to us and the dude we have now inherited a total rebuild project. We’ll be back but it’s gonna take time.

You guys on the other hand are rolling. You have a very fast and disciplined defense that kept us from even getting close to scoring until the streak-saving FG at the end. I’ll be looking for y’all to stomp the Ducks and rough up the clowns in California.

Hopefully we’ll get another chance to play down the road. Thanks for your contributions here the last several days.

 

Beav-

You guys played one hell of a game. Very impressive. I didn't expect your defense to be that good. I was also was expecting more from our team. But, as Skink said, we're gonna need time. We've dug ourselves into a hole and it'll take a minute to shrug off a decade of sub par recruiting, coaching and play on the field. With that said, I still love our kids and new recruits and appreciate their efforts.

You should have been matched up with a top ten team for a bowl game. Congrats on your win and stop in from time to time. We appreciate contributions from our respected rivals and you are now one of them.

Be well. Merry Christmas/Happy Hanukkah/Happy Holidays!

It's great to-be a Florida Gator.

Go Gators.

 

Classy post!

Thank you and congrats on a GREAT season, @nuclearbeaver !

 

Thank you for the post. It is better and more optimistic than many Gators fans have posted post game. As a life long Gators fan, I hate to say this, but you deserved a better bowl game and opponent. Good luck in the future, and I hope the Beavers have great success moving forward.

 

Congrats on the win and on the ten win season. I hope we give a better accounting for ourselves if we play you guys again.

 

Damn - I was hoping I deleted it before you saw it

No my Beaver buddy, my comments were not appropriate. I mean if someone is being a butthead then sure the gloves come off, but that wasn’t the case.

For some reason I’m still trying to understand, I was in a foul mood yesterday afternoon. It got the best of me and I apologize for that.

Congrats again on the bowl win and a 10-win season. Run the table next year Beavers

 

Skink you in a foul mood and giving somebody the business? Say it ain't so!!!

 

A better match-up would have been LSU, honestly, but that wasn't in the cards. Regardless, the Bevs were for real and are worthy of respect and the long, slow road taken to respectability - and in this crazy environment we have now. Best of luck going forward. I'll keep an eye out for you guys.

 

Nuc,

congrats on a big win and your team is fun to watch. You can tell your coach is very disciplined and knows what he is doing. Your execution was impressive. Also nice to see that “want to” from your program. Your Coach has an intensity that seems to have rubbed off on the players.

Apologies if some of our fans were less than hospitable. You were classy from the start and the response from some of our fans in general was disappointing to say the least. Best of luck.

 

And thanks to the OSU fans in Vegas. Everyone I talked to at the game was friendly and obviously there to have a good time. I even had one lady thank me for coming "all the way to Vegas" to support my team. Another guy told me he was upset they couldn't get the shutout since we were starting our "12th string QB."

 

The OSU fans I met were really nice. The only grief I got was at breakfast on Sunday from an NC State alum, whose husband, a UF grad, would not come out of their hotel room.

 

Really wish we had had a better showing. Wondering if UF will ever take bowl games seriously again! The level of opt outs and subsequent poor preparation is insane and really a disrespect to the boosters, fans and the University that funded your education and development as an athlete.
