If I wanted to find the hundreds of ways to say the word "bad" I would just come here. Every thread evolves into the absolutely same sh#t over and over. How bad our team, our former coaches, our former coaches from years ago, our players, our different parts of the team ST, OL, DL, Secondary, our band our staff some sportwriters, our former players and it goes on and on and on............for fck sake can we bury this dead event, staff , firing, etc before the collective suicide it must be leading to? If all of our players had quit out there the score would have been worse. They are not all bad kids. Most are young and if you believe all the words in here, poorly coached and devoid of leadership from said coaches. I have to think some of you, by your words have given up on this team and these kids. Have you put your gator gear and hats and shirts in the back of the closet? If so you are just a bandwagon fan...........no more no less. Real gator fans do not quit or hide their loyalty. That is why a guy name George got up MANY years ago and started leading cheers for our team. He knew the sh#T was bad but didn't quit. In fact he got involved. He cheered for his (our) team when it was at its worst. We owe them no less. You are either a gator (even now) or you're just gator bait.....................I know I have posted this quote other times but it always appropriate regarding athletes.............
T. R.It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
