Why do you all keep watching this garbage?

I stopped watching the beginning of November of last year. Then I think I watched the bowl game.

I don’t remember the last game I watched this year. But I don’t think I’ve even watched an entire game this year.

I understand going to games. But why would you watch this mess on your TV?

Because, unlike some on the team, we haven't checked out.

I get what you’re saying. That you’re making a dig against the team. But this is supposed to be entertainment for us. Are you entertained? Does it bring you joy?

I’m not trying to be hostile. It’s an honest question. Some people may still get joy out of it because they love cheering on the Gators. But I don’t see any joy anywhere on this board. Except maybe with coach.

If you don't watch now, you don't deserve to watch when we are winning again.

So I have to destroy my Saturdays and be pissed off all weekend from watching a poor product on the field in order to qualify to watch the good product when it comes back out?

Because I'm a Gator, "Through All Kinds Of Weather".

What does that mean? Does that mean you’ll watch them no matter what? Or does that mean you support the coaching staff and the team no matter what? How have you defined it?

By the way – this is not one or two seasons. We’re talking about a decade of horrible, horrible, horrible football.

I wanted to come full circle... started my Gator history with the 0-10-1 team... now this slop... honestly, saw more heart in the 0-10-1 squad than this pampered group of my daddy's not here, I quit posers. Just saying, my entitled opinion. Go Gators, some day.

My Dad never saw an SEC Championship. I'll cuss, fight, b@itc, contribute to fix the problem and put us back where we belong but he!! yes I will watch. We made a good start with Foley leaving and PB&Mac fired. The President can be next, it has been done before.

I went to Clemson last week and watched good football.

I quit watching yesterday mid way through the 2nd qtr and went to St. Augustine and took my wife to dinner at The Columbia.

2 of the best Saturdays I've had all season.

For sure. I think that’s an excellent way to support the program and to help usher in excellence. But what I am asking is why watch it? Why put yourself through the emotional toil?

I had it on but was doing other things as well...until about 5 minutes into the 3rd when we had the ball on the goal line and then buttered it up with 2 lost plays and a penalty to get push us out of range and settled for a FG...then i switched to other games. I'll probably continue like this through the rest of the season...games will be on but I won't be watching all that intently

GatorJ, prepare to be attacked by a lot of people on this board. I'm not one of them, however. It's a sincere question.

I watch because if you cut open my veins, Orange and Blue blood will come rushing out.

I watch, because I can't not watch. Gator football is a part of who I am, what I love.

Most of my highest highs have been in some way directly or indirectly related to Gator Nation.

I watch, because Gator football was once my #1 love before anything else. And I look forward to the days when it will bring us all joy again.

Watching Gator football on Saturdays is like driving to work Monday through Friday.

It's just...life.

And to have been a part of Gator Nation for over 26 years now...is truly an honor and a blessing that will always be close to my heart.

That's why I watch.

Go Gators.

Look I agree, and obviously been the guy who said stop attending, stop buying stuff, stop sending money til they fix this, and yet...

I'm a Gator and I still watch.

I am a Gator and I care. And while I am tremendously disappointed with Gators' performance of late, I would never ever call MY team "garbage."
