Like I said, we let em catch up,now we're letting em at a chance to tie...Just GOTTA GET THE BALL. But no, it's coming apart for us just like I was afraid of. We are hanging on by our finger nails. Hope Mac learns his lesson here, at least: NEVER GIVE THEM AN OPENING--EXCEPT THEY FUMBLE IT!!! Aw, man, whatta break. They're challenging it, of course, gonna try and call it's pass, but his arm was going back...yep, Gatorball, Gator win--so we get the win AND maybe Mac doesn't make that mistake again.
Gotta say it again: This one was like watchin' a 2012-2014 (pick one, any one) Gator game against a shoulda-been outclassed opponent we managed to keep in the game til the end...I will get really angry, and pull no punches, if a LOT of the crap on display out there today carries into even NEXT week's game.
I will NOT quietly accept another season of sloppy mediocrity. I would honestly rather see our Head Coach SIT every smart ass prima donna showboat in favor of serious, driven-if-inexperienced back-ups, even if it means losing most of the rest of our games--if that's what he thinks and we can see it'll take to get control of this team's destiny--not just who and what we've got right now, but who we'll get, who and what we'll be in seasons ahead. Not so sure what a lot of those cheering drunkards in the Swamp thought they saw out there, let alone how they (or the boosters) could handle the kind of "hard medicine" that MIGHT be necessary, but that's how I truly feel. Note I did say "MIGHT"--not sure it'll need to come to all that, but tonight should warn us what an "up'n'down" season this is gonna be, REMIND us of all the things that were wrong coming in, how much has involved a messed up "mindset" and just wasn't gonna be fully solved in the between-seasons.
So we survived tbis one witb a win--and damn well have a bloody SHITload of work to do yet.
"One game at a time", more than ever. Another chance to "teach", Coach.
