Checking back.
Still true:
"We should have WON this game!"
Look at the stats: Once again, we had every opportunity. Yes, it has been a classic "Home called game", but still: I maintain a decent Head Coach finds ways to WIN these kind of otherwise "close ones".
The more I surrender to the overwhelming frustration, squarely face the REALITY of the evidence, it becomes more and more inescapable: We are on the road to more and more losses.
Even NOW we have the time and talent here to pull this one out...but we won't.
The very real "certainty" I feel is precisely why I am now at this sunken emotional point.
Do ANY OF YOU feel something different, anything akin to, oh, I dunno...HOPE?
Never mind "confidence"...we all lost THAT quite some time ago. But maybe we ought to deserve some small spark of hope?
Deep down I still WANT to...nd I HATE myself having to admit that. The rest of me screams "CUT IT OUT!!!"--It only sets me up for more disappointment and frustration.
I feel stupid for inflicting it upon myself again.
This is what being a Gator fan has been reduced to. Is that fair?

Unless we actually cone back and somehow nip this one at the end, it won't be remembered properly--ie. As a game we SHOULD have won, if not for our Coaching weaknesses.
Our players, though they made mistakes (too many, AGAIN), are NOT the reason we will have let this slip through our fingers (also, AGAIN).
No, I won't keep repeating the obvious.
I'm sick of it too.
Sick of me.
Sick of Billy.
Sick of "just not quite enough", of EVERYTHING.
Sick of watching us lose games where "woulda/shoulda/coulda" is ALWAYS the postgame theme.
Aren't YOU??!

AND WHY DO WE NOT GET TURNOVERS???!!!
It isn't that we give UP so many...we just seldom get them ourselves!

Fuck.
I really hate being correct about THIS.
It HURTS. I TRY to be ready for it. SAY I am.
But come the reality, truth is it hurts just as much.
And I am SICK of it.

ETN whiffed on pass protection. That is going to get the QB murdered one of these days.

Now we go against FSU with "SOME HOPE"--but only because they are down and hurting with the loss of their leader. NOT the scenario we necessarily cared to face as a last ditch, rise-to-the-occasion/save-our-season last home game situation. Of course, at this point we'll take what we can get, but right now I just feel dirty.
That is how these last few Gator games have GENERALLY left me feeling.
I actually LIKE our team...but I feel for them:
They AND us are being MISUSED!

Nice. ETN sucks ass at pass protection, but he can run. Touchdown, ETN. Smack with the PAT. 28-30. 7:39 to go.

Sorry. I'm not even watching the game anymore.
(Am watching one of my History/Military channels--much more reassuring).
I figure you will let me know if something positve were somehow to (surprisingly) happen...

So we are back within 2 points AGAIN?
Somehow, we just cannot get over that hump; and if we do, they just break one out and retake the lead. This one's likely to end like Arkansas...

Alright...I'll be sorry, but I guess I'm gonna retune-in, see the end of this thing.

4:44 left in the game. This offense usually takes 5 minutes to score. Back on FLA38. 62 yards to the endzone or 20 yards to Smack’s field goal range. 2 timeouts.

I really feel a FOOL for letting myself be SUCKED BACK IN this way!
You have to KNOW what I THINK is gonna happen--yet here I AM.

The ONLY way this goes OUR way is if we somehow get a big big play for a TD...otherwise it's Arkansas all over again.
And we are injured EVERYWHERE...Our O-line, backup QB, EVERYWHERE.
But Brown is doing it.
BILLY: DO NOT PLAY FOR THE 3.
