Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GASPARILLA BOWL GAME THREAD: UF vs UCF***

[Gatorraid81]

I knew we were doomed tonight the moment I heard Shane Mathews color commentating on the radio with Mick. The guy has yet to call a game we've won this year. Where James Jones? Lol

Knox lettilng the clock run out - little Mullen

2022 can’t come soon enough

This...This...This...

 

[AugustaGator]

I’ll ask this again. WTF with the money down guy jumping up and down? Did we get sued and have to do this for the last 5 years? It’s embarrassing.

 

[soflagator]

This is so bad.

We can't kick

We can't pass

We're undisciplined

And all with the new boss evaluating.

This is not UCF...this is boring Malzon's UCF

I doubt Napier is putting that much stock in anything being done under the guidance of a failed staff whose schemes and coaching have provided him a job. Effort is there on many of these plays(Elam’s chase down). They’re out of position and have been coached terribly for much of the last 4 seasons.

wow so my prediction lol, I was ridiculed for it and given dislikes and loonies for it and here we are. Wow spot on Jboss

This season cannot end soon enough

Clean House Billy!

 

[Ironhead]

I think that will do it for me.
I was feeling pretty good about the program and the new coaching staff.
I was actually pretty optimistic that we could see a fairly good season next year.

Tonight has shown me how far down we have fallen.
We don’t even have a playmaker on our entire roster as good as UCF

Undisciplined.
Uninspired.
Poor tackling
Weak
Out of position
And………
SLOW
Our Offensive line is not even Sun belt level.

Disgusting

It may take us three years to get back to the level of beating Kentucky.

I wish we never accepted this invite.

With all the turmoil surrounding our program and all these players leaving us and recruits jumping ship, I don't see any way that we win this game. UCF is going to come in SKY HIGH to prove that they belong with the big name teams and will look to ROUT us to the tune of something like 36-17. Our guys gave up weeks ago and our guys will probably sleep walk through this game like the Okla game last season.

I was given dislikes and loonies for this post and ridiculed for it lol

All of this could be summed up with one word - EMORY

There’s more on the way.

 

[Gatorraid81]

I’m just shocked by the lack of energy, the undisciplined play and overall coaching. It’s like no one realizes they’re auditioning for next year. Burn it down start over.

Have you watched this team and staff this year?

I get the frustration, but I think you’ll be surprised by the difference next season. We’re not there, but not nearly as far off as some think. Bowl games in general are meaningless. But the Gaspsarilla bowl and with a lame duck garbage staff against a competent team and former successful P5 coach? Don’t read too much into tonight.

I am hopeful that this is going to be a Zook / Urban Meyer transition.

99% of our problems this year lead back to the coaching staff.

 

[Marine1]

I really thought after 9 fairly quick carries DP was going to get 20+. By the 4th quarter he would be gashing them in big chunks. Then Mullen started calling in the plays from home.

Good news is after 4 years of bitching about this I can now STFU.

 

[soflagator]

Losing Shorter at the 2 minute mark of this garbage game would be such a fitting end to 2021. Can we just take a knee and get out of here?

 

[NavetG8r]

All I can do is agree with everyone else saying 2022 can't get here soon enough. Go Gators.

 

[Thought Criminal]

Timeout wtf it's cold out here

History tells us losing this game is a good thing. We lost the bowl game going into Spurrier's and Meyer's first year. We won the bowl games going into Zook's, Chump's, and Butter's first year. Didn't play a bowl going into Mullen's first year, but the last bowl game we played before Mullen was hired was a win. I know it's a stretch, but I'm gonna say this guarantees that Sling Blade will be an elite coach. LOL

14 for 36? - Why did we even let EJ and Copeland play?
