Pearsall steals a catch from a potential interception. 17 yards. First catch of the day. Needs 40 more yards to reach 1,000.

 

[Escambia94]

3rd and 4. Receivers are not getting open.

ANOTHER game that we "woulda/coulda/SHOULDA" WON--But by now you can see it coming that we WON'T.
It ISN'T just "no talent", nor "all the injuries", nor even "all the penalties, misused tackles and get set all lack of discipline in a very young squad";
"IT'S THE COACHING, STUPID!"
(That ISN'T aimed at anyone here--it is a reference to a political commentary from an election long past--but the reference is applicable here!)
It just isn't any FUN.
TOO MANY games spent with a tight stitch in my gut, leaving me pacing the floor and generally PISSED the rest of the weekend.
I am very close to being DONE with it.
I HATE where college football is going--and if I cannot enjoy Gator games, any facet of them anymore, WHAT'S THE POINT?

 

[Escambia94]

Max Brown pulls the zone read and runs for the 1st.

 

[Escambia94]

Wilson looks angry.

 

[DRU2012]

I can't watch right now.
If someone out there wants to tell me if something POSITIVE happens, I'd be obliged.

 

[Escambia94]

The middle of the FSU defensive line is stout.

 

[Escambia94]

Brown playing for field goal position.

 

[DRU2012]

Has to be either touchdowns or turnovers (both OURS) to matter now...

 

[Escambia94]

Smack Attack. 37 yards. 15-14, Gators. 6:05 in the 3rd.

 

[DRU2012]

Brown playing for field goal position.

THAT RIGHT THERE is the problem!
Just about the worst thing you coukd say, in my view.
Only POINTS, a BUNCH of 'em, can save us now.

 

[Escambia94]

Still not optimistic. Gators temporarily take the lead 15-14 at 6:05 in the 3rd.

Yep. They had some momentum to ride.

Here comes another friggin' "loss/moral victory".
I HATE it.
Our Coach is a chickenshit LOSER.

Don't like the kick, the "positioning for 3"...
But I do AGREE with your summation.
This game is already lost.
THAT'S ANOTHER ONE ON OUR COACH.
Sorry. This is why I need to shut up and get outta here...I appreciate you guys--and commend you on your loyalty and "clinging to last hopes"!
I just cannot lie--to myself, nor to y'all.
Unless whole team pulls a Houdini here, I will leave and not return.

 

[Escambia94]

Great sack by Desmond Watson.

 

[Escambia94]

Shane Matthews: “We have great field position. Did we do something dumb?”

 

[Escambia94]

Gators get the ball on the 30-yard line instead of the 45 because they are shitty football players who can never follow basic rules.

 

[Escambia94]

What idiot is calling these plays?
