    Say what you want about Shadeur, but that dude ain’t soft. Took some big hits and kept on going. CU biggest issue is the gap b/w their best players and the rest of the team and as a result he takes a beating.

    I am one of the few that believe you are entitled to your thoughts on the current state of Gator football, but please stop with the over the top strawman arguments.

    Gator fans are overwhelmingly not “okay” with 4.5 wins, any real Gator fan understands that, and we also are aware that none of us can possibly be sure Napier would or would not still be our coach if he had finished the year with 4 or 5 wins… or less, because he ended up with 8.

    You could have chose to say that “some” Gator fans may be satisfied with 8-9 wins and at least been accurate, but you choose to go with a patently absurd ( and false ) statement just to be over the top.

    It doesn’t bolster your points, it does however, make the notion of you trolling seem more and more likely.

    My apologies. I could have been more articulate. The 4.5 win comment was in response to his comment "When we beat the expectations..." Referencing the Vegas expectations coming into the season (4.5 wins) and certain fans spiking the football because we "outperformed expectations." I didn't mean to infer Gator fans were okay with 4.5 wins, but apparently some Gator fans are okay with 4.5 wins being the Vegas number coming into the season, as they love using it as a benchmark to brag that we "outperformed."

    We dod beat a couple decent teams but we do understand we are a mediocre team. They didnt beat anyone worth a damn and its a huge hypetrain. Dion was really, really good at football but hes way too arragant for what hes done in coaching which is not much.

    Bs, the majority of us had no problem with him being fired after the A&M game and winning 4 games agaist a couple decent teams has only cooled the flames a bit. If he starts next year the same way, it should be over for him and theres no big cried of support for tgat scenario. He almost doubled his projected win total and he didnt end the year getting bitchslapped by a barely ranked team.
