Great job by Dan and the staff. The team has been pretty clutch. There's a certain toughness to this team that they haven't had in recent years. I know it's not beating Alabama but 2 wins in a row 2 weeks in a row over a good SEC West teams LSU today at 5 and O coming in is just tremendous. It kind of gives you a good feeling inside. But it is kind of stunning this is happening after Kentucky pounded the Gators in the swamp.
People need to stop acting like Kentucky was a bad loss...that streak was gonnna end sometime, and imo that loss did more good than harm,

Try READING my post again. Read it all the way to the last sentence. Then see if you post is germane to what I typed.
I just read it again. It was worse the second time - I didn't notice the backhanded compliments the first time.

It's going to be a miserable season for you. As for me, I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

I still believe we've got a couple of stinkers in us before the end of the year due to inconsistencies with the offense but we don't have a bunch of quitters that's for sure. This teams growing process began after getting gut punched by UK earlier this year AND it may have been the best thing to happen to them. Defense is showing huge improvements despite some shortcomings and although the offense is still inconsistent, at least they manage to mix it up enough to stay in the game. I'm certainly more than pleased at this point.

I’m most impressed by the response when things got tough and they were down. Neither side of the ball folded. Perine needs more carries and proved it. Franks did enough and didn’t fold after what could have been a back breaking int. They truly are getting better and it’s actually nice to watch and not be able to call the plays out ahead of time. Coaches on both sides of the ball came up with a good scheme this week.
It is so great not to see Franks play with his tail between his legs after a mistake like that INT.

The first time you read it you apparently:

1. missed the adverb TOO.

2. missed the last sentence as I don't think anyone can criticize much if anything after top tier SEC win.

3. missed I am the one that thought UF should win 10 games this season. Don't blame me for being right and claim the negative people here somehow enjoy being wrong compared to me enjoying being right.

So yes, I am enjoying the wins so far. I am enjoying that maybe the offense is making progress. I am enjoying that UF has replaced both kickers seamlessly. I am enjoying that UF's D does not seem to have fallen off like many around he worried that it would.

I certainly did not see this great start coming...This team was badly coached over the past three years. Mullen has managed to be miraculous getting this team to believe in itself and be as tough and competitive as it is. I'm deliriously happy and I'm going to run with this feeling as long as I can.

I damn sure didn't see us going 5-1. When's the last time we beat a top5 team? Everyone was on that LSU bandwagon . I'm pretty pumped right now. I scared the shcit outa my kids on that pick 6.

Wish I could find a replay of Mick Hubert's calls tonight. He nearly lost his mind on that Stewart pick 6. It was awesome....
