Let's face it, with football on the horizon (and a product to finally be excited about again), everything in life improves. Food tastes better, those that annoy you seem more tolerable, etc.

For a while now, I've let some crankiness from my personal life ooze over into Gatorchatter. I've been more impatient and threatening than usual. For the most part, all of you have taken my abuse with good humor, and continue to faithfully support the board every day. This is one of those mornings where I'm struck with how much I appreciate this e-family and what they have done for me.

So, I just wanted to say thank you for sticking around, and I'm going to do my best to ease back on reflexively blasting people out of the water (although it's certainly fun). I couldn't be more excited about this football season and I'm thrilled to spending it with this family, both through the wins and the losses.

If anyone needs anything, please don't hesitate to contact me privately.

Go Gators!

How about a loan? You're loaded with ox bucks.

One thing I can say is my years of abuse have given this crew the thickest e-skin on the entire internet. You guys are invincible now.

How do we know that we now have a product to be excited about?

We have a mouth piece that at least says the things many of us want to hear and acts the part, but that alone does not assure a quality product. If offers a chance though, I will give you that.
Yeah, a mouthpiece who's been recruiting his ass off - who's also going to beat Utah in a couple weeks - and then go on to pimp slap KY jelly. And that's just for starters.

In Steve McQueen's Le Mans there is a scene where he's describing what it means to him to be a professional racer. The woman whose husband died in McQueen's accident in the same race the previous season was asking him why it was so important for him to race and prove who's the fastest. He responds (paraphrasing here) telling her that for him there is ONLY the race. The times between are just.....the waiting.

That's what its like for me now at this point in the pre-season. My wife doesn't understand what it means for me wringing hands as the first season kick-off looms. Two weeks out I'm just waiting. And between games when the season starts there is only the waiting. Right now I'm reduced to watching You Tube of past Gator glories while I......just wait.

What a genuine, heart felt, well written sentiment for the entire board… You’ve been doing this for long enough to know that this was not going to end well for you
