It's been a bit of a difficult year for the board. Perpetual difficult seasons have caused more rifts and infighting among the Gator faithful, who in the end all want the same thing. However, here we still are, trying to lean on each other the best we can to avoid going crazy over something we can't control.
My November donation drive drove home the point that this is a very special, generous group of people. I was overwhelmed with the generosity, and extremely thankful. I have to focus on the fact that so many of you feel you have a place to get away from real life and express yourself, and that sometimes gets away from me. My personal difficulties at times have a tendency to be taken out on the people here, and I have to work on that.
So Gators, I am thankful for so many things, and Gatorchatter is one of them. Hopefully this holiday season we (and definitely including me) can focus on being a little more constructive and turn on each other a bit less, as we're on the same team. We're sitting in the back seat while other people drive the car, and those people have no business being behind the wheel. We've just got to deal with that.
Spend time with your families and be grateful we live in a country where the ups and downs of a football team matter enough to be important to us. So many others around the world have much bigger concerns than the outcome of a game. We are extremely blessed.
