I set the bar pretty high when I joined a month or so after Ox started the board:rotfl:....These f vckers threw everything but the kitchen sink at me for about 3 years before deciding they couldn't find a way to get rid of me...It's probably a good thing there wasn't a "Dislike" button at the time.....
Come to think of it it's probably a good thing that there is a "Donation Button"....

I could tell by how thick your skin was you were a Gator!

Nobody here I wouldn't drink a beer with.

While on the topic, if our computers were set up like a DUI convict's car, needing to breathe into a tube in order to post, posting would immediately drop 95%.:lol2:

So I post here very rarely but I lurk fairly often on this site and a couple others. I’m generally a bit of a glass half empty type Gator, but I’m literally angered at the negativity by some on this board. I could list names and posts but it would take a long time and it wouldn’t change anyone’s opinion anyway. I do have to almost wonder if there is a backstory behind Swamp Donkey that I don’t know. Some of his posts are just so egregiously wrong and negative it’s sort of beyond the pale.

I guess I’m just confused and frustrated. We all want the recruiting to pick up, but you’d think we are recruiting in the 20s and winning 6 games. We literally were one frustrating game against UGA away from Atlanta with a decent shot at the SEC and the playoffs. Facilities yes we want them yesterday, but they are coming and they will be nice. Recruiting yes it isn’t top 3 but it will be top 10 and I think Dan knows based on past experience what talent is needed to get there. There was literally NO coach available that was going to come that would have done ANY better than Mullen.

I will freely admit I wanted Kelly first and Frost both over Mullen. And I was a bit disappointed when we got Dan. But I was wrong! I mean crap I truly think there are some people on this board and one of the other boards that are happier when we suck so they can be proven right. The reason I’m posting is not to change minds because I doubt I will change anyone’s mind. But my guess is there are others like me who would like to contribute more but are just beat down by the overwhelming negativity.

I’m very happy where we are at. And yes I scratch my head when we don’t have our pick of the crop of FL kids right now , but I also believe that we realistically have the best coach we could have and that it will continue to slowly get better with a staff tweak here and there, facilities, continued high performance, great fan base support etc.

Anyway thanks for listening and Go Gators

Post more please. In all honesty, this is nothing. Seriously. As a former card carrying negator...you missed the worst of it. This place has balance. It's not all puppy dogs and rainbows. But it's NOTHING like Butters last year. NOT. EVEN. CLOSE.

All opinions are welcome here. Hope you find your place and stick around.

Hahaha... advising someone to not give a f*ck about what others thinks got me a dislike from my old buddy, Law. I swear, you just can't depend on anyone these days. Good thing I don't give a f*ck! :lol:
That was probably a misfire.

Normally, we have rules about this stuff, but Ima give you a break since you haven't been around much lately.

You're new enough that I will give you the standard like, and welcome aboard.

Bring your friends.

We have plenty of people on this board who love losing and watching the other teams on the field in Atlanta next week. You guys should hook up some time.
Some things are constants in the universe. One of those is...

Douchekey's gonna douche!

Not everybody can make an honest living restoring toys and exploiting Message Board Idiots.

On the other hand, that Christmas Meme is pure comedy gold. So Crete kind of owes you some of his wife's money.

There are lurkers right now reading this that are on the fence about making a post on this topic. Look into my e-eyes: MAKE THE DAMN POST.

Ok. It's threads like this that drive me crazy about GCMB. I come on here to check recruiting and transfer news then make the mistake of wandering into this discussion and spend 30 valuable minutes reading every post. Ugh.

I'd probably be considered a dumper because I find myself agreeing with their take more often (but maybe just because they have better or funnier delivery and not necessarily better logic). But I'll have to agree to disagree on Dan Mullen. I wanted Kelly because he was the "it" name but Mullen would have been my 2nd choice. I'm pleased with where we are. I'm enjoying Fall Saturdays instead of dreading them and I want to travel and watch the Gators for the first time in years. I know we aren't there yet but really who is? Life at the top is fickle and short-lived. Enjoy being "2nd tier" and hope to make next step in 2020.

Go Gators!!
