You say this as you throw the team under the bus, hoping that they lose to make a couple of coaches look bad at the expense of a lot of hard working players.
I don’t think you understand the concept of throwing someone under the bus.
Shorter. I think he’ll have a big game.
turnovers galore...They might throw Malik Davis in the slot.

Well you disagree then. I’d rather get crushed in a nothing game if it helps to shorten Grantham and/or Mullen’s time hereI’m using it in a broader context. Undeserving people get run over in the interest of impacting (for good or bad) the people who actually deserve it.
I agree with you that Mullen threw players under the bus to protect Grantham (and by extension, himself).
But I disagree with hoping for a loss, in the interest of making Grantham and Mullen look bad, because the collateral damage is to the same players that you correctly accused Mullen of throwing under the bus.

And that line of thinking took the Jets out of the Trevor Lawrence sweepstakesYep, that’s just me. I never hope for the Gators to lose, no matter what is at stake. Every game means something to at least some of the players, especially seniors that may be playing in their last game ever, at any level.

The result of the game is meaningless, with or without a full squad. But being that we are very shorthanded, I think the result of the game is even more meaningless. But here is what I think is meaningful:
With the OLine in tact, and top 4 receiving threats out, are we able to run the ball with any consistency or do we even try? How does the OLine play knowing that we will probably need a good running attack?
Will the players on D know their assignments on every play? Will it be simplified like man to man under and cover 2 in the back? Something where less decisions have to be made?
Most of all, I think this is the type of game where coaching is evident, regardless of result. It is easy to coach a game/team with all hands on deck, but how are your management skills in a meaningless game (result wise) but not playing at full strength? Are you able to put a competent effort on the field both mentally and physically trying? Are the mistakes from effort or from stupidity? The one thing that haunts me is that Cousin Eddie, some fans and others will have built in excuses if the final score is not what most want. What I see on the field is much more important than the numbers on the stat sheets.
If my Panera sandwich looked half as good, I wouldn’t feel compelled to roll my eyes when I came to the point of having to decide whether to tip the cashier 50 cents or $2.00 for 30 seconds of effort.
Some of you guys sound like a bunch of pussy's. You same fuchers said we'd lose by 40 to Bama. Pitts and Toney not playing is gonna hurt but no where near as much as Marco not playing helps. We're pretty deep at wide out and TE, Mullen will have the offense ready, Fat Todd will Fat Todd.
Gators - 52
Sooners - 42
Whittmore, Davis both hang a 100 yards receiving on the Ok.
Gators win by 10
