Can we now be glad we have Mullen and not....

Who is cousin Eddie? why?

Cousin Eddie was Randy Quaid's character in the original "Vacation" movie. there is a resemblance and Mullinz has been Cosuin Eddie since his arrival in 2005 and always will be!!! Clearly you are a youngster and probably do not know this classic film!

Thank you FF. I see the resemblance. Was that the vacation they forgot the dog was tied to the bumper?

THe best player on the field was one of their WRs. I would put the boy at RB cause he can run.

That was probably the true Freshman 5 star. That kid would have touched the ball every play if I was the coach.

I have him on ignore, so I can't see his posts, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Omar is here defending something FSU related again?

Correct. Coincidentally, I was just about to add to him to my newfound ignore function. Claims they have no OL or WR’s. He has a point about the OL. The WR’s, not so much.

I admire the fact that Omar takes nothing but abuse and rarely engages it. The guy isn't a Nole - maybe you guys should consider giving it a rest.

Maybe we can give it a rest when donkey gives Trask a rest.....

You be the judge. Compare our performance Saturday with our performance in 2015.

I will not submit myself to watching anything that has that waste of oxygen on the sideline coaching the Gators. It's like experiencing a blackout after a three day alcoholic binge. The point of the binge was to forget...

Kentucky is a must win for any UF coach in this era, just like a UF coach should never lose to Vanderbilt. There are always Must Wins, and to pretend there isn't is just fallacy.

If we lost a couple must wins like Kentucky and Tennessee but won most of our underdog games I would feel comforted. We would have to wait until end of season to see it all play out and that's hard to do.

 

[Silverback Gator]

I thought the Noles were recruiting SO MUCH BETTER than UF?

They are at the moment but that seems like it will change.

I am very impressed with the attitude and energy of our Gators--both the fans and football team. I understand the talent gap, but this is more about attitude, motivation, and rekindling the passion for the game--to just go out and execute, and have fun doing it.
These kids play football for a reason. Of course they are talented athletes, but they need coaching and motivation to fulfill their potential. And they need to have fun doing it.
That's what was most impressive to me, and I credit Mullen and the coaching staff for that.
Can they keep it up under adversity from more talented teams? I hope so.
I do know this: talent needs coaching. Look at some of those passes from Franks. Pretty impressive and nothing even the most die-hard pumper would have ever predicted.
Coaching, we all have witnessed the difference. Maybe we are better than we think. Or maybe we're just over elated to finally watch an exciting football game with a heartbeat. Either way, I think we beat Kentucky and UTooth, then the real excitement begins.

Take a look at the thread after the New Mexico game in 2015... then lets all pump the breaks. A great first game, but it's Charleston Southern... lets wait a bit.

Did you say the same thing when meyer got beat by Mike Shula and Saban by ulm .Chip kelly lost his first game to Boise. chill it's one game. The back end of year 1 and year 2 is where we'll know who has it. It's how i knew Mac sucked in year 1.

Neither Meyer nor Saban looked as clueless as WT did last night. And in Meyer's case, he had a wrong fit at QB, which accounted for 90% of our troubles, and it was on the road. There was literally no one who felt Francois was a bad fit for this offense. And it wasn't just that. The entire team looked like garbage. And you can't even possibly compare the talent level between VT and the noles.

As for knowing Mac sucked in year 1, Kelly gets a pass for losing to Cincinnati because he lost a QB. But Mac sucked for losing to fsu, Alabama and Michigan despite losing Grier? That makes zero sense.

No one has crowned Mullen. But I'm thrilled we didn't hire WT. He's an absolute clown.

Just watched a condensed replay. Franks moved like no Franks I'd seen before. Feieipe seemed to react & think like no Franks I'd seen before. His passes zipped on a rope. He fired it into very tight spots for TDs, much like a star QB would do. At least 7 of his incompletions his receiver dropped or the DB made an excellent poke-away. He needs to be a bit more dedicated to the run once he must, but he ran effectively.

The denunciations 'cause it was CSU do not diminish that he threaded the needle often. That would be the case regardless of that DB being LSU, FSU, MSU etc. the window is the same. Sure the better DL intrusion might cause Franks' nerves to effect his throwing, his decision-making but that onus is on his blockers.

What we really need to see is a vaunted running game. A run game that makes DCs sweat. Our OL falls short there. We've got good enough foes coming up to learn better on. So, let it unfold the way Mullencrew is teaching it. Remember, we took our foot off the gas in game #1 at halftime. Go Gators ... farther.

So far this season Trask leads the team in rushing TDs.

NO.

GATOR.

EVER.

SUCKS NULL CAWK. And he sucks every Null cawk. All the time.

Even if I had a positive thought about a Null, I wouldn't say it, bc I'm a GATOR. It is what we do.

Somebody has been watching film with Coach Mullen.....
