But Mac said he was proud of this team.

He should be proud. At the end of the year they looked like a team that had four OL for spring practice and looked like the disaster most analysts expected us to be this year.
Winning 10 vames with what was left by Duncecap was an amazing job.

Being proud of his players is good. They did buy in early on. Still sucks the way they ended..

Yep. Mac inherited a juggernaut with 5-deep at every position and totally choked. Shameful.

Funny how people totally make things up...we gave up on this game. No excuse for the beat down. Losing sucks but quitting is worse. We have more talent than what showed up in this game. Now, if you want to read more into my post, go back and read my history.

Yeah, I'm a big supporter of JMac too. And I feel he's got things headed in the right direction, but I still question his approach to this bowl game. It just felt like it was treated as a vacation reward for winning the East, as if winning the East was the only real goal we had. The defense sure didn't look like winning was any major concern to them. At the same time, being perfectly honest with myself, I also realize pretty much any attitude or game plan we had, we really had very little chance to win with Treon and our OLine anyway, so maybe it really was the best way to treat the bowl this year.

IMHO, this is the evolution of SEC-pride.(well founded pride)
1] Say 90% of the SEC teams won 80%+ of their games. They clobbered all their
OOC opponents.
2] SEC teams crowded the Top-10 in the nation.
3] SEC teams filled most the bowls & most won soundly.
4] An SEC team won (was awarded) the consensus NC so many years in a row.
5] The Sports Media started trumpeting that the SEC was beyond compare.
6] Except for very few hiccups here-there, the SEC has maintained that dominant sequence.
We, the SEC, made it too obvious for media to ignore, even in their complaining.
I approve of the SEC honing all its teams towards such superiority.

Make things up? You said "no excuses." Sure, we could've and should've played better, but what gave you the impression we should've won the game? Was it Harris' Hail Mary into triple coverage that inspired confidence? Maybe the bama and f$u games gave you a false sense of hope? I'm shocked we scored any points that wasn't a Calloway punt return. Even more shocking without McGee in the game. This was a hamstrung team when we started the season and it got worse as it progressed.
Also, lots of people here thought we should throw $7 mil a year at Harbaugh. He's a Michigan man, so I never thought that was realistic, but the dude can coach.
I don't completely disagree with you, but I don't buy the "no excuses " argument either.

No excuses for not showing up to play. We are better than we played. Even with our issues we are better than that. Players were lost on alot of plays. No sense of urgency. Thats what I saw. Looked like poor preparation.

Yeah, I'm more comfortable in the "go down swinging" camp, than the "oh well" we can't win so let's just enjoy the boardwalk mentality.

I'm glad someone gets it. The defense was the strength of this team and didn't even show up to play. The head coach absolutely has to bear some responsibility for that. We are the University of Florida. We should never get blown off the field by anyone. Much less 3 games in a row.

Here's more in an excerpt from an article a few years ago-
Another from a bulldog writer:

To the question of origins, which sometimes come from surprising and unexpected sources, I think a few old time Arkansas fans have a legitimate theory as to when it may have first been used. We simply need to find an earlier usage to dismiss this farthest back account:
There are yet others who claim to have heard it earlier though, fyi, so it remains a mystery.

Interesting read. So everyone on the board were pumpers before they became dumpers? Put another way, the only difference between Mac's pumpers and his dumpers is the date at which the flip occurred.
