I remember once, you were very drunk, and you posted something passably witty about ox's mom in the chat.

Is Johnson gone after this season? Not sure this bowl is worth risking ETN’s future or us having him at 100% next season.
sofla, exactly, and give the staff some excuse cushion if it gets ugly.
Would be nice if the staff also demonstrates some management improvement.

On your first point, we can’t knock players for sitting out and then make our own choice to sit them if we deem the bowl unworthy. I get your point, but then where does it stop? Spring game? Final regular season contest?

Well, it would be optimal if our staff and team has a great game and none of our players are injured. We need it. Less optimal is that we get hammered and our staff looks like game show contestants whose names were pulled from a hat. The result will probably within those ranges.

This semiaquatic rodent swimming helplessly on display in an aquarium proves the old adage, “there’s no such thing as free beaver”.Come on ya'll. Nothing wrong with playing with beavers.

A lot of injuries happen in football as a result of missed assignments, imperfect technique and just inexperience. A team that plays well is less prone to injury than a makeshift team where the most experienced players sit out. Sure injuries will still happen: football is a collision sport, but before a coach puts a team on the field, he must consider the well-being of that team. Fielding a team just to play a game could be disastrous.
That being said we are scheduled to play a bowl game against a team that would like nothing more than to take down the mighty Gators. The beavers are 9-3 with only losses against both teams in their conference championship and a 10-2 husky team. I know we will be without a lot of players who entered to portal or left for the nfl, but to limit injuries we need to play a quality game with the most experienced players remaining on our roster.
Additionally, the Gators may field the youngest team ever next year, so it would mean a lot to the program to end the year with a winning record. It may also be important for ESD.

Awesome. We can't play for shyt at 11AM CST, how the hell is the team going to do at 11.30AM PST. Yes spare me the time I know it is actually later, but all this does is give the knob slobberers and Kool Aid drinkers another excuse.

Yeesh. We’re getting bumped and pushed around like it’s a dodgeball tournament quarterfinal. Don’t be surprised if this thing ends up being played in a high school gymnasium.

Favorite exit on the planet is in Detroit... and no, that isn't photoshopped. Useless trivia, Big Beaver Road is "16 Mile" in "Detroit speak"

Take a breath. It's 2:30 pm Gainesville time. Whatever happens, don't blame the time of day.

I don't think you get how this works. It's a 2:30 eastern kickoff. It's OSU that would be getting the shaft from the early start, especially because they typically have games with late evening kickoffs, so called PAC12 after dark.
