Even by apolozing now... everybody knows that Emmit meant what he said. He probably realized that what he said was not good for team chemistry and he didn't want to impact that, so he apologized to Driskel, Muschamp and the team as a way to not be a distraction going forward. His tweet already did it's job, it doesn't hurt to smooth things a little after the fact.
You honestly think that comment is going to have an impact on chemistry given everything else that's happening? When you have your WR re-tweeting posts calling for a new qb, Emmitt 's comments aren't going to sway things one way or another. I have a feeling most of the team is over Driskel and ready for a new direction.

Aside from it being an adult that sort of takes an unsolicited shot at a "kid", I see no reason to apologize. That's the only angle I guess his people are taking. It's obviously how he feels, and he wasn't exactly disrespectful in his doing so.

How weak have we become as a society?

Driskel is a 21 year old man. And he sucks. Badly.

Actually, the classless part here is Muschamp informing the public that Emmitt called to apologize. Muschamp should have kept his mouth shut about any internal phone calls and should have taken the tweet as constructive, albeit harsh, criticism from one of the all-time Gator greats. Muschamp throwing out the "he called and apologized" card is chicken*** in my opinion, and it suggests he is trying to deflect or minimize the real issue here, and that's being called-out on Driskel's poor play. Muschamp is becoming the anti-Donovan. Billy D never seems to make a wrong step, Muschamp never seems to make a right one.

It appears that mushchump didn't learn anything from this past weekend. He just announced that he's sticking with Driskel, because "Jeff gives us the best opportunity to win right now." If he is our "best chance" then we have no hope to win at all.

I seriously hate this guy...

I'm sure someone in the media asked the question about what he thought of Emmitt's twitter rant. Doubtful he just brought it up.

"I’m sorry my tweet got more media attention than your new Roper offense; I forgot I have about 290,000 more twitter followers than you."

I can forgive #22 for not wanting to look like he's fanning the flames. He spoke the truth and it got amplified louder than he intended it to.

I've never understood how losing is the best chance to win.

Notice I used parentheses. He's a college student and Smith is 40+ adult. The perception is what I was saying might be the reason he felt compelled to apologize. I also feel there was nothing uncalled for or out of line, as I mentioned. Certainly nothing that would warrant a call to Muschamp. The oddest thing is he made this remark on twitter. Why not just apologize using the same platform?
