Wouldn't that have been nice? Treon could have gotten more snaps, we could have gotten another win toward bowl eligibility, and the fans would hopefully have watched an entertaining game. Yet another wasted opportunity . . .

:facepalm:

Honestly, after sitting through last week I'm eternally grateful I don't have to watch UF play this weekend. I need a break.

They're 1-6 in the Sun Belt. Even Driskel could dispatch them.

I have long since moved on, but I took some shots for calling the cancelation of that game an awful idea. It would have given us another win which we clearly and desperately need for a bowl berth and more reps for players who need it. Besides, I remain convinced the extra week does NOTHING for us in terms of game planning because the coaches are poor at planning and scheming. It's sorta like when the Government shuts down, it's a good thing because they aren't screwing things up worse.

I'm surprised this isn't a poll

If you need Idaho to pad your resume, you need to be fired.

Kinda funny in hind sight. We didn't think for one second we'd miss a bowl so a piss ant like Idaho doesn't matter. Just like he came out and said we aren't going to play fcs schools anymore 2 months after losing to one.

I'm just ready for everyone to move beyond the Idaho game. I have a feeling some people will still be pissed it wasn't played in 10 years.

It is kind of annoying that it could possibly cause us to have a losing season

Maybe it is a blessing in disguise we aren't playing Idaho. If we played similar to our EMU performance, than the common fan would become irrationally optimistic about Muschamp and our offense.

I remember this quite well because I thought the same thing, we really needed that game.

And LOL at how true the Govt analogy is - Touche!!!

Have you watched us play this season? Do you think we'll have a winning season regardless?

I would have gone with my family and had a nice time. That being said, I'm looking forward to watching football all day Saturday without considering how the Gators will play. A needed break.

Not really.and I'm not upset about it. But I do enjoy the bowl game even if it's a ****ty one. But if you need Idaho to make a bowl you probably don't deserve one

:exactly:

And I'm just about over bowl season anyway. They've oversaturated it to the point it's really not enjoyable compared to what it used to be.

The extra practice is nice but come on, do I want to watch us play some random po-dunk school with a 6-6 record? Not really.
