I've got some news for you guys: this is a typical bye week schedule. Starters rest basically the entire week while the backups get some practice time. That's about it. As a starter in college, I participated in exactly one bye week practice. One.

I'm sure Meyer and Saban use their byes this way. #winners
Edit: See below response. I now believe there was another reason to schedule the bye this way.

No, they shouldn't. A bye week is exactly that, a week away from football. These guys have been at it nonstop since the beginning of August. Like I said, every single team uses their bye week like this.

Yes and it is particularly that we do exactly what everyone else does. No thinking out of the box for UF. That is certainly the thinking we want at UF.

Beating the sh*t out of these kids this week will do absolutely, positively NOTHING to change this season. You guys can scoff and b*tch and moan at that all you want, it's the truth.

After the FSU game last year Butters said this bullsh*t in his post game presser
"That's why you go play the game, you go out there give yourself an opportunity." How the fu*k are you giving yourself an opportunity when you can't even score a damn offensive TD.

I definitely do NOT want to run the legs off these guys this week. My suggested schedule of some extra special teams practices in light of recent games does not mean that they need to be either long or contact practices.
I just do not find it a reasonable argument to say the reason to follow this schedule is:
1. that is how we did it when I was a boy (and get off my lawn too.)
2. that is what everyone else does.

I am no longer angry and disgusted Just found email from friend. 500 extra police are in Gville tonight with national guard expected tomorrow.
Spencer of Charlotteville fame is speaking on campus and my friend wrote the town is expecting 50,000 people, i
m assuming that is 50,000 white supremacists to this ticket event. School buses have been rerouted. People are being cautioned about being in bars and clubs, and out in general.
I believe it was prudent to hopefully get the team out of town for this. Mac and the UAA are trying to protect players and reduce likelihood of getting involved in trouble. I am glad.
I knew the churches had been coordinating on talking to people and cautioning them, and that Gov Scot had declared a state of emergency a couple of days ago in order to get the extra security presence. Didn't know it was gong to be Charlotteville size event. I naively thought he was just giving a talk to whomever showed up from the school or local community, not from all over the country.
School bound by law to allow.

Considering my senior year of college was 10 years ago, my perspective is pretty damn relevant. This is the week the starters try to rehab any nagging injuries they may have and get their legs back under them. At this point in the season, the rest is the most important thing. The team is thin enough as it is, don't need anyone getting hurt or exacerbating existing injuries for a worthless bye week practice.
