    How can any self-respecting Florida fan root for a Missouri team that disrespected our team? Some of y'all need to get your heads checked. Screw the conference chest beating. Drink is a dick.

    So... the only SEC team to ever lose to OSU in a Bowl game is.... Alabama.

    Texas A&M is 0-2 in bowl games vs them but both came before they joined the SEC.

    Yeah, that is a technicality since they were not an SEC when it happened, but that is still quite a record against the B1G's best team. Don't you think?

    I don’t know about others but it just seem to me there was no excitement from either Team in the game, they felt no reason to be there I guess.

    which equals Drink’s win total HIS first two years as well. And his third year he had a losing record as well. Patience can pay off sometimes — as well as hiring an OC to call plays.

    4th and 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And I have to believe that is one of the biggest reasons we have a new DB coach.

    Blows my mind to think a stop on 4th and 17 and a made Field Goal and we are 7-5. Although this team was as sloppy, unprepared and undisciplined as just about any Gator team I have watched since I started following them more than 50 years ago.

    Correct. If it was Florida:
    • They should have fired Drinkwitz after Year 2!
    • Missouri would have been better off sticking with Mullen!
    • Should have stuck with a big-league hire!
    • Etc.

    Unless rules are enacted to stop the team hopping, I am beginning to believe that each year that goes by, I'm going to take one more step away from college football,

    Urban was 2-1 vs. Nick in games that mattered. Absent a bad esophagus, Meyer might have become the greatest coach in modern college football history.

    Before the game I got a MIZ text from family. I replied ORY based on their recent bowl success and it didn't go over well. In the end everyone in the family, wife included, was happy with the outcome. To be honest, if I went to Mizzou there's not much to dislike about Drink. Not liking him would be like Gator fans not liking SOS and running him off......wait......

    I miss this game. I thought OS was a good team not great but better than Missouri. Hate I missed it but glad for SEC

    I find myself in the unfamiliar position of pulling for some SEC teams.

    Had to pull for Mizz over Ohio State. I’m no Missouri fan but even less of an Ohio State fan. Enjoyed that game last nite

    Can’t really explain why, but I’m pulling for the Kiffins over the Franklins

    I hate Georgia but I hate ref$u more than anybody else. If I could just get that meteor

    Well, that and a distinct lack of the ethics gene. Of course that might be a positive in the current landscape.

    Just saw the score and am pretty shocked to see Mizzou won. Buckeyes must not have the depth I thought.
    Mizzou and their coach have quickly risen in my dislike list.

    Hopefully they return to their normal mediocrity next season., tho they have one of the easiest schedule in the sec in 2024.
