Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Texas A&M***

If AtM had all their players, I don't think we win.

But, I love beating jumbo.

We just dismissed one of our best defensive players, and were missing Shorter.

Nice road win!

I celebrate for a few days but............

I'm not sold on a change of fortune based on one game.

I'd rather pluck chickens than watch this game.

Chickens are neked and my Gators won!

Big day on the farm!

Don’t be such a buzz kill. So they were missing some players. All part of the game. It was a quality in conference road win. Focus on the positive only.

It’s ok to review the game with orange and blue glasses in the immediate aftermath of a win.

It is okay to focus on the mistakes and poor game managment, but I agree with you totally about the players on the opposite side. You play against those that are in uniform. That is not within your control.

Serious credit to AR for his best overall game as a Gator as well.

I don’t think he’s had a turnover since the UT game maybe?

Pick against Mizzou.

Yup. Imagine owing Jumbo an $86M buyout. We thought Mac was a fraud with his $7.5M buyout, but I think even Mac could have a better record with A&M's loaded roster. Unbelievable.

Well here is what you will see at Dumbo's house the next 2 week pay day.

The biggest thing I hope both Napier and AR learn from today is that teams will respect his passing ability whenA) he’s accurate, and B) he’s a threat to run the ball. That long run changed everything.

I always eat my crow on here when I’m wrong so no need to be shocked. Of course I’m sure you didn’t have anything negative to say about the team during the entire game.

I had plenty of negative to say about the defense in the first half. If you had told me they would shut out the opposition (ANY opposition) in the second half I would have laughed in your face.

Fortunately, I will be working a fundraiser for needy kids all day. I say fortunately because I have tried everything from what I drink to how I dress to change the outcome of our games. The only thing I haven't tried is not watching the game!!!! So here goes.

I guess I'm relegated to not watching our games!

Remember people, this was a bad, flu bitten TAMU team.

Though I'm pleased and see progress, this will be a long journey with an impatient Gator Nation.

We need 1 more for a bowl.

But it's clear Napier's players are clearly better than Eddie's

And aren't you glad Jimbo ain't our coach.

You know damn well if the roles were reversed we would ridicule any poster that used the flu as an excuse. We won an SEC game on the road against a talented team (including a shut out in the second half). Enjoy the win.

Yeah, let's drop the flu/injury schit. We have injuries and the "Gainesville Plague" swept our campus this week (daughter had it) but our players were fine. I remember when we used to always use flu and injury excuses, it was pathetic.

Update: FFS... Michigan State suspended 8 players for today and beat 7-1 Bert.

 

[PaulDrake]

I like in the 2nd half we saw a lot of player we haven't seen before on defense. I like to hope that Napier had seen enough and put in younger players without playing time. It seemed to work and the defense looked more like a working unit than before. Flashes of good stuff but by no means am I saying one half of football portends a complete change in our fortunes for the rest of the year. BTW, AR had his best game so far. He looked confident and sure of himself. Nice to see Jimbo F*** get bent over.

 

[oxrageous]

I just hope AR knows it was him running all over the place that opened up everything else. If he stays aggressive with his feet, we are going to win out.

Absolutely. Let's hope Napier is in his ear, "Run Anthony, Run!"

So, it was an elite flu?

 

[Detroitgator]

So, it was an elite flu?

Only affected the Santa Fe students

Ive been really frustrated with the anti-AR crowd. He reads the field so much better than anyone gives him credit for and is not some Felipe 2.0. If he’s running more regularly then it makes his reads infinitely easier.
