    Threat #1: Passes past the line of scrimmage but short of a first down.

    Threat #2: Passes behind the line of scrimmage.

    Which ironically are two reasons why his pass completion % is so gaudy.

    Muffed extra point and missed FG didn't help.

    In close contests, ST will continue to cost us games into the next season as long as we continue to ignore it.

    So face it. We wouldn't want to be more optimistic about freaking anything so let's face it. I'm hoping we won't hear any chit from you until after those 2 years pass. Now that you've issued your proclamation, please tell me thats what you mean.

    We didn't get the right breaks. It happens and it's hard to accept but Arkansas was a disaster unfolding. Our fan base will do their best to make sure we never recover but that chinese fire drill I saw on that last drive before overtime had me thinking - this kind of stuff can't happen anymore. I can't support Billy if this kind of crap keeps happening. Even if I know what that means for the next few years or decade. I still have hope he will turn it around. I really believe he will if we give him the time. He burned a lot of margin today.

    It is good to give up so early. I hope when we lose you won't feel the need to post anything afterwards. I hope you don't bother to watch the game. And if we somehow win, I hope you won't feel the need to post about how wrong you were. Don't bother watching next year either because I'm sure you know we will crash and burn there also. I'm looking forward to not hearing from you until you want to trash our next coach.

    I'm by no means a sunshine pumper, but... LSU's defense is BAD. We can score on them. And Jayden Daniels was hurt tonight, unsure of his status but Nussmeier finished the game.

    A lot of folks posted comments early in the season about Armstrong being the man; I had some doubts mainly because we are such a poor tackling team this year. It is shocking how horrific a tacking defense we have; it is too reminiscent of Grantham. Of course, today, we were so out of position on defense, you just scratch your head and ask why?
    Frankly, I could care less about a bowl game; sure, it’d be great for the players to attend one but the team knows the requirements to be eligible well before the season starts and will likely miss this year.

    In my opinion, Nussmeier is a damn good QB with a strong arm. He will be ready if he has to go . I just hope Billy makes the right moves in the off season

    You do know that Zook never had a losing season at UF, don't you? And you do know that Zook's recruiting dropped off from the 2003 class to the 2004 (and then to the 2005) class, don't you?

    It is hard to recruit top players to a team that can't make it to a bowl game.

    It's hard to recruit top players to a team that loses at home to a 2-6 team.

    It's hard to recruit top players to a team that looks like it is poorly coached.

    It's hard to recruit top players to a team that is coached by someone who does not seem to learn from his mistakes (such as not having a special teams coach or an OC).

    Wow, so you hope not to hear any chit for two years yet in your very next post you say you can’t support Billy if this keeps happening..


    Dude it’s been happening over and over, sorry you were blinded by a bunch of coach speak and the hope that the system would right the wrongs of the past.

    Then you seemingly blame the fan base, the ones who keep giving money and going to games. The fan base isn’t the reason Chump, Mac, or Mullen got canned.

    I’ve been optimistic all year, but eventually you need to see things for how they are not how we wish them to be.
    22 games of optimism and little has changed.

    For the long term we need to hope the class holds together and they can figure out a way to upset one of the next 3.
    We have never played well at Mizzu, LSU is well LSU haven’t played well there in forever. Noles at home and perhaps we can pull some 97 magic.

    Since it was a botched snap/hold, the ball was never kicked. Crawshaw picked it up and ran and was tackled, thus it turned into a failed 2 point conversion because you can't run it in for an extra point. It was reported on all services like that. Check yahoo sports, fox sports, etc.

    So blame yourself for not knowing the rules of how it was scored.

    All I said is you proclaimed it last year. You're so smart you said it last year how all this would happen. I'm just hoping that now that you think your proclamation came true, you won't have any need to spout anymore. Is that too much to hope for? Apparently so.

    Sorry, none of us like the current results.

    Skewing posters who have pointed out obvious issues for not supporting the team is silly.

    You can always scroll past on decide to live in an echo chamber where you only see things you like.

    The crappier the coach, the more elite talent that is required to make up the difference

    Pretty much our situation right now
