I think I’m out….

Thx for all you’ve brought to the boards AKA. I understand fully. I went from being a rabid watcher of all things sports, to gators only, to now just watching the postgame hilites and reading the threads about how things went. I found that I was to emotionally invested and that there were so many other things that I could make better usage of the time with. Still cheer for all things Gator, but decided to maximize my time in life.

 

Man, going to miss your posts but completely understand. College sports as we all have known and followed over the years have drastically changed, and definitely not for the better. My passion has waned and I’ve actually missed multiple home football games each of the last few seasons after missing just a handful the previous 30 years or so.

I did go to San Antonio and had a great time but now getting back to NIL and the transfer portal crap, the luster of seeing UF win another NC is starting to quickly wear off.

 

Don't leave us, Brent. I think change will come to make things more equitable. I'm frustrated too, but for me this drives up the rivalry with UK from mutual respect to HATRED. This was an obvious shot to weaken UF by them. They didn't need Zel. He'll contribute, but won't make a difference for them. The move is to hurt UF. We need to remember this forever and keep pushing for our team to take them down.

 

After you get tired of fishing please come back.

 

I used to be that way. I have found much more happiness in life enjoying the victories and not getting too down with the defeats.

 

and if you are like me aka...some of it is just about life itself. When I started watching Gator basketball I was a college student and then a young professional. Then I had one kid and it got a little harder to make time. More games on tv and less in person. Then a second kid....then a third. Now if you asked me if I'd rather watch my 12 year old's 7 on 7 football game or a Gator game it is an easy call. Go outside and shoot hoops or fish with the kids or Gator game? Another no brainer.

 

To me it seemed like coach Donovan encouraged at least one player to move on every year. Is that incorrect? Not sure....
