Some of his posts are just so egregiously wrong and negative it’s sort of beyond the pale.
He enjoys getting other members riled up. It can be fun, I admit.
At any rate, thanks for posting. There are plenty of pumpers here along with the dumpers. The back-and-forth that goes on as a result is some of the most entertaining stuff on the internet. When backed into a corner, always throw out that your opponent is a "Butters lover" and "backed the Chimp right up to his firing", stuff like that. We have 1,000+ daily lurkers on the Chatter for a reason - they often end up snorting coffee through their noses and ruining keyboards. I'll give you an example - it's "R" rated but you get the point:
Slevin: You remind me of a kid that got caught sucking his own dick in the girls bathroom. I’m going to go ahead and assume it’s you.
Bait'n Gator: I can guarantee you one thing, if my dick was long enough for my inflexible ass to suck it I wouldn't spend nearly as much time on here.
Now, we all know there isn't another Gator message board that would offer a hilarious back and forth like that. You can't buy entertainment like that.
However, some people can't handle the discourse or being disagreed with, I get it. There are many lurkers reading this right now nodding their heads. I just wish more would give it a shot. Even our biggest jerks mean well and don't want to run anyone off. Come give your take and see what happens. Who gives a crap if Swamp Donkey disagrees with you? This is the guy that tried to embarrass anyone who even implied Trask should play over the last 3 years. Does that humiliation keep him from plugging along? Of course not.
Someone else made a great point: if you want it to be a more positive board, then come help make it one! You can't do that by lurking.
My $0.02 on the topic at hand. I like Dan Mullen. I like what he's done since he got here, and I didn't want him at all. I became physically ill when he was named the head coach. However, in hindsight he was probably the best choice at the time for getting UF football out of the gutter and more respected nationally.
Saying that, it's fair to wonder where we go from here. I was extremely disappointed with the coaching in both of the losses this year, and the recruiting has been unacceptable, which makes me less patient with all of it. It all depends on your perspective as a fan. For those that are happy with 10 wins and NY6 bowl games, Mullen has been like a dream. For those that think UF should be winning SEC and National championships, nothing has been accomplished yet, and there's a lot of fear nothing ever will under Mullen. Too many of our competitors are light years ahead of us, and continue to pull away due to superior recruiting. It's a legitimate concern.
UF didn't even win the division this year. I personally don't consider it a successful year.
