Has there ever been less interest in Gator football?

I changed one of those zeros to a capital "O." See if you can find it.

I bet 99% of the forum thought I was kidding.

Pretty easy to find. Notice the right margins for that line sticks out slightly more to the right. If you scroll through all the zeros fast, it's a quick find.

Yes that's how I found it after I posted and then went back to see how hard it would be to spot. I'm just laughing that anybody actually looked for it.

..... or NV edited Zam's post & put that capital O in .... you guys are Gators where fraud abides. :cool:

Actually you have this about backwards. Pell was the bigger cheat and that is how Hall got the job. UF was hyper sensitive from then on except maybe the Meyer years, and so Hall got caught up in one incident involving a player who had not paid child support and lost the job he got due to Pell's bigger problems. Hall had the better teams with Pell's recruits because Pell's teams played tight while Hall's teams were much more loose and relaxed in games.


I agree with you here. I watch all the games. But my interest level is way down, so I don't watch nearly as many other college football games, I don't bother to learn much about recruits and I am less interested in the up coming season the entire off season.

too much trouble. Just go to find "0000O000"

I was waiting at the bus stop last night after the clubs closed/after work. I overheard lots of students saying they weren't going because of how hot it would be. Nobody wanted to go sit in the sun and watch this terrible football for four hours. If they were lighting up the scoreboard and games were fun to watch, people wouldn't be talking about the sun and how crappy it is to sit out in the Swamp for four hours.

And a different student today. More of a "serious higher IQ" on average student. Getting into UF is harder now so many that do are bigger "Make the grade than make the party" types. And all the games are on somewhere on a very big screen. And their "phones" work better outside the stadium usually. what the hell,,,,,,,,,,,,,they suck and we were more into the gators and football than they are now...........My daughter graduated during the 04s and Timmy. Her and her crowd were there.

The '78 season was pretty bad. We lost of bunch of people on offense and people were sick and fed up with Dickey's front-running wishbone. We didn't win a game the following year, Pell's first, but we played FSU to a standstill and you could sense the fight in that team.

It got pretty bad after Hall was dismissed in the middle of the '89 season but that was a different situation. 2004 was bad and yet we beat FSU at their place at the coronation of Bobby Bowden Field.

It feels like two things right now. On the one hand, it feels depressing knowing that the offense won't get any better under Nussmeier. On the other hand, you've got one helluva recruiting class coming in if Mac can hold it all together.

IF Mac can hold it all together. Nussmeier's making his job twofold difficult.

Duh, just get rid of the guy, for the umpteenth million time.

You really think firing Nuss would change things, eh? It's Mac's offense. Period. Which is why he didn't fire Nuss last year, because he knows Nuss isn't the problem.

You're saying Nuss is just a yes man. That seems like a stretch to me. Can anyone pull up stats on how often Colorado State ran on second down or the same for Bama back in 2011?

I do realize Mac tabbed Nuss because he felt they were philosophically aligned, but no two playcallers are alike.

That said, our problems run deeper than playcalling, and that's all on Mac.

I'm damn excited about Gator Gymnastics starting practice. Natty #4 on its way!

OX, I have been making this point since year 1, but the majority of our fan base thinks Butters does not have any say on either side of the ball. IMO, he calls every play. He knows and hears every call. Butters should have on repeat: "What? You called What? I don;t think so. I will be changing that!"

But the problem goes way beyond the actual play call. You have players who are not fundamentally sound at all positions that it makes the QB look worse than he might be. I will be interested to see if LDR lets the plays develop more as he appeared to during his time against UK. FF threw immediately whether it was 5 yards vertical or 30 yards horizontal. B/C that is what they taught him to do or he had know trust in the line or he could not read the defense. Either way it is lack of development there. Then you have a line who can't protect, causing rapid release of the ball. or you have RB's who can't pick up blitzes. or you have WR running poor, lazy routes. Today will show me if the QB development in combo with the other offensive issues is contagious. Either way, Butters is the problem, but he has taken to letting the fan base dictate their ire and will succumb to firing NussNuts to make himself look good at the end of the year.

I think what you're really trying to say is Nussmeier calls every play and McElwain approves or checks off. That's gotta use up another couple seconds between each play.

I think like most offensive coaches he hears every play call as it's happening and certainly has the ability to change it or at least dictate the flow going forward. He's also the one preparing the entire offensive game plan leading up to the game and implementing it in practice.

He's saving Nuss as a scapegoat for the end of the year. It's too early to fire him now.

Don't you think it works that way with most college offenses unless the head coach is more a defensive specialist and has agreed to delegate 100% of the playcalling to the OC?

On the other hand, Spurrier delegated nothing. He called the whole damn game from the sideline, part of it scripted, most of it scribbled into the dirt. Man could that guy scribble.
