The 5 stages of grief - where are you?

[Lake Gator]

I’m squarely in the “there are many things in life that matter more than football” category. I’m usually upset about a loss until I wake up the next morning and move on. It makes life a lot less stressful. You guys should try it sometime instead of obsessing.

I'm in the same category as Sas although life is a helluva lot more fun when Gators are winning than losing.

Sadly we've been through the 5 stages with two separate coaches.

Acceptance - Fans have have no say in this matter. I know my place.

Our place is to boycott.

I used to root for the Reds, decades ago, until they decided to do the Marlins thing for most of the 80s. They ran off their fans and the next generation never watched them. If you see a Reds hat now, even near their area, it is more likely to be a Crip than a Reds fan.

There is almost no recovery from those lost decades.

Fooley is getting what he wanted though. He isn't in the arms race.

Is one of the stages of grief “watch WVU squeak by a winless team and jerk off into a tube sock”?

Come back when you get better material.

Is that any bettrer or worse than watching us squeak by terrible teams if they are kind enough to not remember to play pass defense?

Need an apathetic choice

 

[-THE DUDE-]

I'm in the stage that the most exciting thing to happen to Gator football in the past 7 years is the possibility that butters will be removed (or walk away) and never be seen again on the Florida sidelines.

I started the grieving process the night Dunlap got his DUI. I was in the bamboozled stage after the Michigan game. Quickly went to acceptance/apathy. I'm just afraid I'll miss the firing announcement or ... at that stage, true apathy and not give a damn. It's been a fun 30 + years.
Maybe I need to grow up.






After we beat the leghumpers.

I gotta hand it to you two and Ox. When you band together on an agenda, you defend each other to the end of the world and back. Having said that, it’s abundantly clear which stage of grief you’re at.

Despondent.

It is one of those times when we aint up there with big boys...........We had a great run there and now the pendulum swung hard the other way..............except for bama no other SEC team can claim the success we have since 1990. NONE. But we will get back. We have too many things going for us. It will happen and we all know it. Hell, a decent QB the last few years and we are in the top 10 easily. Maybe not able to hang with bama but still much better.

Agree, I'm mostly in the meh stage. I'll watch and hope for the best, but expect the typical.

 

[Renard904]

Accepting.

Everyday I wake-up and periodically throughout the day, I check the news feed looking to see that Mac has been let go.

I know everyone thinks Mac will stay based on the economics, but I really can't see a scenario where he's still employed here beyond Bowl Season.

Should have also included the "Wait till Next Year" stage.

There are almost none of those left, even in the old fart 0-10-1 crowd. The ones that are still there are "Wait til two or three years" now because they claim we have to wait until the 2017 class are juniors to judge Fat Azz ....... bc Muschimp.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Gator losses used to bother me all day on Sunday and into Monday.

They just roll off of me now, this is what the last 7-8 years have done.

Funny stuff dick in the dirt!. I'm still scaling 1000ft bluff facings as part of my work life balance program. I'm one of those ole 10-0-1 farts Fire Mac & Co now while the life boats are still usable.
