Not really.
Ox is right, we could have won that game. A few plays here and there and one less holding call. Mullen said in the presser that EJ had a sure TD on the 3rd qtr drive but a receiver ran the wrong route. Previous to that was the holding call drive. Then the Trask interception in the 4th. Would've made the final drive mean something. Even with the defense shytting the bed. We were in the game but everything had to go right and it didn't.

That's what made it considerably more painful. If UF had just gotten blown off the field and was never in the game, it wouldn't feel as bad.

Im not saying that we couldnt have won the game, what im saying is that everytime we lose a game we could have won the game, the difference between victory and defeat being the very things that made us lose. I dont think ive ever seen the Gators lose a game they couldnt win going into it nor have i seen people after the game dismiss the things we did to lose the game because we couldnt win it from the outset in their minds. To get upset because we could have won it aside from the mistakes that made us lose it could apply to every loss is all im saying. Its a non statement. If you guys want to quibble over semantics go ahead, ill just leave my statement as is.

I'm guessing you were as happy as a clam after this loss? I'm still not sure what your point is - that we shouldn't complain when losing big games?

We needed a takeaway or a pick six to change things. LSU had to make a mistake to give us a realistic shot. They never did, and as they gradually adjusted to our gameplan, we were trapped.

No i was yelling at the TV with every defensive failure. I hate losing. Im with you.
You said that you were upset because we could have won if not for mistakes of our own doing or something to that effect, I just pointed out that it applies to every loss so making the point is moot. Thats all.

Did Buster Douglas knock out Mike Tyson because of what Buster Douglas did, or because of what Mike Tyson didn’t do?

Complain? Yes. Speculate? Yes.
Act like a hysterical whiny bytch wanting to fire every adult involved whose decisions didn’t meet their expectations? Not so much.

Sometimes you don’t win not because you made mistakes, but because your best wasn’t good enough. That’s what happened Saturday. It sucks but it’s reality right now for this program. The good news is that there’s still hope even for this year, if we can get key people healthy and continue to develop to our full potential.

Its like you read my mind and then go post it.......But on to Tyosn ....I was a big Mike Fan. He was a student of boxing and when the old man died it was downhill. My wife and were watching that fight and it was a huge WTF moment. He had been so dominant till then.

Ox seeing his wife put both his balls in that 2.5 Oz Gerber baby food jar after the Auburn win has been really rough on his morale.
If we get Zuniga and Greenard back for uga I predict we win out. Then we meet back up with LSU in Atlanta and break some D off in them as well. I wouldn't be surprised to see bama lose to LSU and Auburn this year. This may be the worse defense and rushing attack Saban has had since there.
