Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs FSU***

[oxrageous]

WTF could he possibly say that would satisfy the fans after a bad loss? We have this romanticized image of the angry coach storming around the podium, picking up chairs and slamming them against the wall. Declaring in a loud voice that by God, no team of his is EVER going to play like that again! Rooowwooroooorrr!

Puh-leeze.



I think you view head coaching as to what you see in the movies or commercials. Maybe you're thinking of that Cheeze-It commercial where he fires up the blocks of cheese. "I woke up feeling the cheesiest, coach!"

What attitude? Muschamp was the one who threw himself around, screaming and acting like an idiot. You want to see that? It really helped him win, too.

 

[oxrageous]

As I've said and will say. Year 2 tells me what I need to know.

You can't have it both ways. First you say he's a worthless idiot, then you say we won't know anything until year 2. So which is it?

Muschamp has entered the chat.

None of us have the slightest clue as to how he treats the players behind the scenes. I'd be willing to bet a testicle he isn't some passive "aw shucks" dude coddling players in practice. I'll bet they're afraid of him. He's the kind of guy that would never berate a player in public, however. NEVER. I'm pretty damn sure the players respect that.

You want open theatrics, like when Butters dressed down Kelvin Taylor that time. The coaches that do that are doing it for the fans, not the players.

Dude, you don't have a clue what college football players respond too. I mean that it the nicest way possible. There's certainly things that I think are fair to be critical about but how he's handled himself in anything isn't one of em. The dude has been a class act and has held himself accountable. I don't wanna see anymore retard up there after these games like the last 3, he'll even Meyer sounded like a politician, that got annoying.

Napier thus far had handled himself in a respectful way. Accountability is one of the many things he is trying to convey to these kids. But if we're wanting reactions and theatrics for these players, he's not it and I personally don't want that. If that is what these kids want they can go play for Coach Afflac Prime.

You know who plays Friday night games? Nevada. Mountain West teams. Bottom dwellers and now you all are defending this horse schiit.

We are rock bottom guys.

I don’t see how anyone could be asked to defend a decision that FSU made.
We had little to no input into the decision due to being the visiting team.

I think it’s a bad idea but I’m not a mentally challenged member of the FSU administration so I see no reason to defend it.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

It DOES NOT matter. We need the development. It could be the Rid-X Septic Tank Bowl playing St. Mary's School for Transgender Wayward Kids. We need the practice. We need the time.

It was clear we beat ourselves last week (Week 11 playing non-starters) It was clear our DEPTH is piss poor. It was clear our coaches need more experience. NOT going to a BOWL says volumes. Like last year.

Note: I hate meaningless bowl games. I'd rather expand the Play Offs. I also would not mind a few Pre-Season Exhibition Games instead or allow off-season practice.

The good news is, if we are playing St Mary’s School for Transgender Wayward Kids there’s a very good chance that the College Gameday crew would be there.
ESPN would promote the game so much that it would become a national story. It could even become such an event that Emmitt Smith would show up, in a brand new gator shirt with the tag hanging on it still.
Try to see the bright side of things.

Florida would have had to agree so they are just as much at fault.

And you really believe that UF had any leverage at all in the discussion?

Disney/ABC and FSU against UF?

Again, what the issue? The Iron Bowl is ok on Friday, but this game isn’t?

The double standard. We don’t play on Fridays.

 

[soflagator]

The double standard. We don’t play on Fridays.

Why would it be a double standard? A variety of rivalry games are routinely rotated to Thanksgiving day or the day after. Notre Dame and LSU don’t play on Sundays. But they have the past two years on the first weekend of the season. Again, it’s not some mid-Oct Thursday or Friday night.

Are you sharing these "sky is falling" butthurt thoughts on your podcast?

He's using GCMB to test his lines... like politicians do when they float an idea via a poll.
