Man, the headline pretty well sums it up: I was thinking the very same thing word-for-word just before signing in here tonight.
As for LSU's patsie, well, it's more a scrimmage than a real test, but I'm STILL glad and prefer we have the bye this weekend, given how banged up we are--though Muschamp's point about the danger, "on the other hand, of losing our momentum and sense-of-purpose" by having no game at ALL makes a certain sense also...normally, having a bye this early would be ridiculous, a cause for some concern, even outrage, at the scheduling, but it does work for us this time I guess, as it turns out. Would have been nice if the Tigers were facing a tough one, preferably against a bruising SEC opponent instead, but that's not happening.
All in all, though the IDEA of a "relaxed weekend" at this point, with nothing at stake for us, in the abstract might have SOUNDED attractive a couple of weeks ago, the reality in now facing it is one of let down: like you say, Tenn./Ga. is about the best we have to look forward to, and the overall outlook is pretty boring. Tense and nerve-wracking as it may be (especially with THIS Gator team, this year), it's still best to have something on the line--a Reptile in the fight, so to speak...
