    Losing the game, but talking about "fight" is the definition of moral victory. Sorry.

    If you’re sorry, then delete this thread. I can only imagine how much fun the pood fans on Mama’s Dish — or whatever they call their equivalent site — are having with this.

    Truth hurts...moral victory it is for now. I hope we win next week so we can get back to real victories. Go Gators!

    We appreciate the way the Florida team fought . . . we appreciate the way the Florida team never gave up . . . we appreciate other things . . . but we do not recognize, much less celebrate, "moral victories" at Florida. That's what most are getting at.

    The Florida Gators play for championships, not moral victories. We will be back.

    As SOS said, there are no ugly wins and no pretty loses.

    I was really worried that we would go in the tank in the 2nd half. Very pleased that didn't happen. It shows that Napier has the team's attention and they will give 100% effort for him and themselves regardless of the situation.

    This wouldn't have happened under the previous regime.

    After this many years of crappy coaches and bad recruiting, a moral victory is fine. Seeing our players fight tooth and nail to the end of the game vs giving up early is worthy of our applause and appreciation.

    Going forward, no morale victories are fine. We identified the problem, hopefully fixed it with Napier. Applaud the current players as long as they give it their all.

    At least it didn't take us 4 quarters and 4 overtimes to get to only 12 points against a crappy team....(and I dont care if they won).

    Zook was a great recruiter. Look what happened after he was fired. Napier is a great recruiter…

    Yes we did 17-14. So if this were a Pre-Season Jamboree in High School
    we could beat our chest and say we beat the #1 team. LMFAO. In addition, what a cheer from the crowd in the closing moments of the 2nd qtr for achieving our 2nd 1st down. We are the boys of Ole Florida
