See that's the point. Yes they are passionate Gators fans that are calling it like they see it. The words "only been" is the problem.
They, along with a few others, take it a step further by insisting that everyone see it exactly as they do. If you fail to fall into boot step with them then they go ballistic with anger and personal attacks. They insist with profanity filled tirades that anyone who doesn't agree with them is a worthless moron.
Therefore, they have a lot more invested in being correct. When you insist that you are absolutely correct to the point that everyone not with you is the enemy, then you can never fully admit that you were wrong. If you did, by definition, you would be one of the worthless morons.
That's why even when they admit something went well, they always have to put something negative in at the end.
