Count me in the chosing positivity camp, if for no other reason than the fall is supposed to be the most fun time of the year! I really do believe that hoping for wins is alot more fun than expecting failures. And besides, its in everyone's best interest if this staff figures out how to flip the switch. Way better for the program than changing coaches again and being another 3-5 years down the road of a rebuild.

you guys are reaching for straws. nothing positive about butters and nuss
Except some people like getting together to root for the Gators. And those that do are going to have an absolute blast this weekend, aside from the game. I can't wait to see friends.

Let me share with you why I hate UT.

I am a lifelong Gator fan. I moved to Florida when I was 4, and was immediately enamored with anything UF. When I graduated from UF in 1991, my first job took me out of the state, and my climb up the career ladder had me move to Tennessee in 1996. I expected it to be a 2 year stint.

21 years later, I am still here. This is where I bought a home, the only one my family has known. We live in a great town, suburb of Nashville with good neighborhoods and great schools, good enough to get my oldest daughter into UF. She is a junior this year. It's really almost perfect.

Listen...my hatred for Clown College and Leghumper U is appropriately at a level so deep, so dark, that you would never speak of it at cocktail parties. Women and children weep. But living here for 19 years has elevated my hatred for UT to similar levels, despite the dominance we've had for most of my years here. Why?

First, that ****ing orange. It's everywhere. Shirts. Hats. Trucks. Hair. Signs. It's just hideous- the putrid, pumpkin shade of orange you only see in those little 4-pack of waxy, useless crayons made in Korea that kids get at sh!tty restaurants. I drive 10 miles to Lowes instead of 1/2 mile to Home Depot just to avoid that.****ing.orange.

Next, their fans are morons. Not garden variety idiots mind you, but the fat, ugly, smelly, truck-stop hat wearing, cross-eyed, yellow-toothed, spittle when they talk mentally-defective imbeciles. They usually have sh!t all over their face when they eat. The men wear overalls, and the women muumuus. They talk sh!t all year, convinced that this is the year when it turns around to their former glory. I've been flipped off, honked at, and yelled at (in an unintelligible string of grunts) for having a gator plate on my car.

But finally... and really the reason bigger than all others...


That ****ing song.

They play it everywhere. EVERYWHERE! At the grocery store, in the elevators, at the high school games, in the parades, at funerals. It's nails on a chalkboard. You'd think it was the gap-tooth national anthem. The hillbillies stand at attention, with their crossed-eyes staring off in space like a dog hearing a high pitch whistle. I hate that ****ing song. When it comes on, my wife hides all sharp objects for fear that I will jam them into my head in an attempt to burst my eardrums.

My only salvation has been the winning streak that, each year, makes these half-witted prairie dogs go back into their holes to lick their wounds. I need 3 more years. When daughter #2 graduates, we are putting this place in our rear view mirror, never to return. Not because of our town (we will miss it), or our friends (from Vandy), or our home we came to love. No, it's because of that song.

That ****ing song.

I am coming down Saturday for the game, and will leave without a voice, which I'll leave in the stands. If I hear any hint of "that song", hide the pencils.

Go Gators.

And before anyone says "how is this positivity?"....I positively hate UT!

ALWAYS a worth while read this time of year!

Nuss sucks, Mac pisses me off... but damn it! GO GATORS!!! BEAT ut !!!

:sigh:

I remember when the stadium used to be that loud. All the time.

On the Forehead pick, the crowd takes it up about 10 decibels at the point George breaks clear. Awesome.

Either way, barring a complete meltdown or Mac having to take the fall for a team credit card scandal that gets much bigger than what we know about now, there is no way he should be let go before having at least 4 and more likely 5 years. It will be harder and harder to attract a top candidate if we become known as a school/fanbase that consistently has an itchy trigger finger in canning head coaches.

Tapatalk still won't give me the 'like' option, but this might be one of the best posts about ut I've ever read! Thanks for the laughs - there's probably a few commuters on this ferry who think I'm nuts.

Go Gators!!!

Youre crazy. The nation is laughing at us for hiring clueless fvkks who can't even manage to pull of the slightest whiff of an offense.

There are also coaches at every school that ISN'T the flagship university in talent rich states of Florida, Texas, or California who scoff at the thought of being TOO GODDAMNED LAZY to even manage to recruit, to think you can sit on your fat azz and expect that the bluechippers in your state will come to you then flip the second you finally get around to contacting and offering a scholly 2 to 4 weeks before signing day.

If you think watching Butters do this shyt again for another 30 games is helpful to the program, there isn't much to help you (or people who think like that).


Sorry if I missed sarcasm. I read it twice just to see if I was missing something.

Yeah...I've been posting pumper posts from other sites. It's hilarious. At least you hated it. Good catch but it's not me.

True story: drove through Knoxville last year. Had my dog with me known to some as Jen. Jen took a crap on the campus in front of that building. Did not clean it up. Felt good. Wish I could have done the same.
