Good god,....now that Franks and the rest of the QB's have been tied to a Whippin' Post let me say this Ox is right and so are his detractors regarding Franks. Everyone is missing the point. McElwain and Chimp nuked our program. If you were a recruit all you know is here and now.....16, 17, and 18 year olds have no clue about UF legacy past a decade. The issue isn't Franks or the rest of the QB's, it's Coach Mullen. The issue is how he will manage them by putting them in the best position he can so they can perform with some success with the limited abilities they have. CDM is going to need to step it up on recruiting by either getting better at damn fast or go hire some mercenary gunslinger that can get it done. As for the rest of you on this board griping like the true professionals you are let's fire up the Allman Brothers' Whipping post:
[To the tune of the Whipping Post --the live version-- (for extended griping)]
I've been run down and I've been lied to.
And I don't know why, I let Felipe Franks 2019 expectations make me a fool.
He took all my spirit, wrecked my season outlook.
Now I'm with one of my good time Gator buddies,
Drinkin' my blues away in some cross-town bar.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.
The GatorChatter Board tells me, that I've been such a fool.
But I had to stand by and take it guys, all for lovin' the Gators.
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what my Franks expectations have done.
But nothing seemed to change, the pick sixes and interceptions keep on comin',
And I can't run, I'm a Gator to the end
Even though sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin' this season.
