It’s a weekend watch. Don’t try to shift the focus front the fact that I picked a bucket of some of the best looking strawberries ever. I hope every one of your pavers cracks.
I’m seriously considering replacing our concrete slave driveway with a paver driveway.

I don’t necessarily agree with you, but gave you a like anyway for responding and doing so with candor.

While I don’t like to think I was one of the posters who was/is constantly negative, I could never get annoyed with those who were as I sympathized greatly with their sentiment. We may have gotten spoiled as Gator fans by SOS and Urbs, but they also validated what Gator fans had known for years: UF could be a consistent powerhouse and compete for titles every year.

Once one knows both emotionally and intellectually that this is true, it becomes hard to accept mediocrity (or worse). None of the last three hires before CBN excited very many folks. Sure we all started optimistic, hoping for the best, and that maybe our instincts were wrong, but as the cracks started to appear, well, we knew what we knew. So sure, the negativism comes quickly to the surface. Once a coach starts circling the drain, there’s no point in doing anything other than moving on. And truth be told, it’s not really negativism to say UF should never lose to (over even have a close game with) an FCS school; UF should never have an offense that has trouble scoring, or UF should never have average (or worse) recruiting classes; it’s reality.

The majority of the posters here obviously speak their minds and it sounds negative, because, for the most part, the last 10+ years have been below the standard. To claim anything else insults our collective intelligence. If CBN turns this thing around, this place will be sunshine and roses and be as pumperish as the other sites. If not, it won’t be; but it will be honest.
Truth!

What is a “UF style of offense”?

I’d say that the 3 past regimes tried to cram the wrong QB into the style they wanted. Zero ability to adapt to the players actually on the field. Hopefully Napier will design the schemes around the PLAYERS
That's the key to any great coach...understanding how to best utilize what you have.

No, it matches is Members Only jacket.

I still have one. Couldn't find my other one last winter and wore it. The hell I caught from my own family was brutal. I used to have watch when I went diving. Haven't worn one for years. They have this thingy called a cell phone now.

You should have gotten a :facepalm: for calling Poly a "scary place," when you have no problem stirring the pot with the rest of us over there. It's your birthday week, though. :grouphug:

I've stirred the COVID pot almost exclusively. And if you haven't noticed I've given up on that. Everybody's made up their minds.

Nah. This is America. If you did a big enough survey, at least 1% or higher would answer “not sure” , another 1+% would answer “no opinion”, and another 1+% would say “not familiar with the issue”.

I thought this was a KKK/Proud about Swastika hanging forum? Did I miss something?
