Actually all 3 of you are wrong.You are both wrong.
The Blythe story is in like episode 3 shortly after the Normandy invasion.
I recommend that y’all try and watch it again during Thanksgiving holidays.
nobody is criticizing him for being clean; that was a straw man that auggie came up with b/c he has no argument for program positives that actually matter. having a clean as a whistle choir boy program is great.... when you are winning. it doesn't matter a freaking bit when your staff and team suck like a black hole.
nobody minds having good kids, and there's been no criticism of their gpa or off field behavior, but if those good kids/staff cant win, its time to move on. at the end of the day, its about winning.
thats the point.
Actually all 3 of you are wrong.
I recommend that all of you watch it again more closely.
Nothing quite like being proud of yourself for sharing a great analogy only to find out that you screwed it up.
Sounds like it’s time for you to watch Band of Brothers again.
Yep, they are professional mercenaries! BN is trying to mold a team based on the learnings he took form his HS coach dad. As much as I respect the high character threshold he is administering and the positive result that many of these young men will benefit from it does not fit in the current format of college football. They should not even have to enroll in classes, just show up, work out and ball out! It's a farce to call them student athletes. Yet, none of this matters as BN and staff have not shown they can coach em up. It has become another shyt show. I gave up my tickets for FSU today. I'm done spending a dime on this product.Last time I checked, the boosters weren’t paying NIL money for their GPA’s.
These guys are no longer amateurs and we need to start treating them like the mercenaries they are.
what's wild is mullen had multiple double digit win seasons, a heisman candidate qb, and made it to an SEC title game, yet was canned only a few games after that trip to atlanta. tater apologizers can point to the minutia that led to that firing in order to justify billy all they want but the bottom line is we fired a dude mid year after multiple double digit win seasons as soon as he had a season where we ended 6-6. tater's still trying for a winning record.Losing a game like UGA and LSU this year when we were just clearly out talented is one thing. We had no answer for Daniels and his running despite trying to contain him in the pocket. The fact that we were ahead in the 3rd quarter is remarkable. That can be fixed thru the portal and recruiting.
Losing to Utah, Arkansas, close games like Charlotte, USCe, etc., where Billy and staff just **** the bed thru absolute bone headed coaching at this level is not fixable. That level of bad coaching should not exist in the SEC.
We have to win 1 of the next 2 against top 10 teams to become bowl eligible is not what Gator football should be. There is 1 man responsible and it doesn't matter what his process is, it isn't working and he appears to believe we just need to give it more time.
If he somehow magically turns this around next year, great! We will all be happy. If not, we are looking at 4 losing seasons IN A ROW. As bad as we eviscerate Ron Zook, he never had ONE losing season and after being fired, went into Tally and beat f$u on the night they named their field after Bobby Bowden and was carried off the field afterwards.
And we need to give Billy another chance after what's looking like 2 losing seasons because he tells us he has a process?
We've been through this before... UF alum with money are not the kind of guys (or gals... there's that one lady who is the richest woman in South Carolina who is in the box for EVERY game) who throw money at things where there is no tangible ROI.Last time I checked, the boosters weren’t paying NIL money for their GPA’s.

What's the answer when a staff cannot manage games to win, and seem unable to train their players to play well?Losing to Utah, Arkansas, close games like Charlotte, USCe, etc., where Billy and staff just **** the bed thru absolute bone headed coaching at this level is not fixable.

Yes you are correct, I was thinking the scene above was in Bastogne but it was after Carentan. Thanks.You are both wrong.

2006. Frosh year for Tebow and Harvin. Harvin ran all over the hogs that game.What's the answer when a staff cannot manage games to win, and seem unable to train their players to play well?
Was it 2005 or 2006 we played Arkansas in the SECCG? Watch that game and see how Urban and Co played to win, made incredible calls(fake punt), and had play calls that won in a back and forth game. Awesome. That's what it's all about. Good memories.
The counter was GOLD! The punt our STs recovered was huge as well. Great great game, probably forgotten by most but a thing of beauty.2006. Frosh year for Tebow and Harvin. Harvin ran all over the hogs that game.
Working on merit badges apparently8:15-9:05 contains the fake punt and recovered punt for TD. Percy's counter is at 9:45.
They look so well coached, trained. That's what I don't get about this new staff. WITFH are they doing in practice?
I crave friendship. No, actually, gave me a reference from which to ask my favorite question.Working on merit badges apparently

Wondy is kinda like Jack Nicholson in the Shining... if you look close enough, I think he shows up in highlight film for like 9 seasons.The greatest play Wondy ever made...
And we all long for the days ST were an emphasis.
Ben,
Please immediately rid campus of Scott Stricklin and Jeremy Foley. Thank you.
