I watched every play, and to the bitter end. I don’t pause when I get up to refresh my drink or take a whiz anymore though.
I’ve also found that other college games don’t interest me. I didn’t watch any other games yesterday - I just don’t have an interest in seeing others happy with their football team.
I will only see a few plays of next weeks game, as I will be in the midst of bar hopping debauchery...but I will watch every chance I get.
Times have change for me. Part of it's getting older and having your priorities morph. Part of it's the dismal product on the field we've featured since 2010.
Saturdays with the Gators used to be religion. All the chores and errands had to be finished in time for a run to the store for beer and then settling in for three and a half hours in front of the flat screen. The games all meant something and you felt intensely involved even if the outcome was not in doubt. Could we run it up to 60 today? How good will we look in front of the nation? What are the pollsters and FSU thinking?
It's not as fun anymore nor am as sure winning needs to be as life or death as it was in my younger years. What I'm saying is, I'm more laid back with whatever comes. To an extent.
What I'm not okay with is how tarnished the brand has become. It's my alma matter and for me it's a matter of personal pride. I want to see us back in the hunt, in the limelight. I think it'll come with the next hire.
Seriously, sorry man! Breakups suck. Learn from this one and keep moving forward. Hang in there bro!!!I know what you mean. When I lose the greatest woman I've ever known (she broke up with me this afternoon), suddenly football seems completely meaningless. There's so many more important things than Gator football. And now I've lost the most important one of them all.

GatorJ, prepare to be attacked by a lot of people on this board. I'm not one of them, however. It's a sincere question.
I watch because if you cut open my veins, Orange and Blue blood will come rushing out.
I watch, because I can't not watch. Gator football is a part of who I am, what I love.
Most of my highest highs have been in some way directly or indirectly related to Gator Nation.
I watch, because Gator football was once my #1 love before anything else. And I look forward to the days when it will bring us all joy again.
Watching Gator football on Saturdays is like driving to work Monday through Friday.
It's just...life.
And to have been a part of Gator Nation for over 26 years now...is truly an honor and a blessing that will always be close to my heart.
That's why I watch.
Go Gators.

Welcome aboard! Post often and bring your friends.I WATCH IT All
Long time lurker. Joined today. You guys are my sanity this last year. Bleed Orange and Blue. Four year season tix holder.
I here you! It started a long time ago. Went to a Gator HS football camp in 1984. Got blisters all over from the God awful Astro Turf. Loved it! Graduated in 1991. Spent some great years in Hogtowne. Took my future wife in ‘95 to UF v Auburn the weekend I proposed. We married Oct 14 one year later. All six groomsmen are Gators. My son is there now. Gator Nation is a part of the fabric of who I am.
That sucks. A little off topic but after a few days maybe when you're head is a little clearer there is a humorous thread somewhere in the lounge about ex wives/lovers. Sometimes just hearing what other people like you(were all Gators here) have gone through will help make some sense of your own situation......I know there is no comparison between bad football and a love gone bad however part of the biggest reason I come to this board is to get a pulse of what others are feeling/doing about our current situation....almost like therapy I guess. Hang in there you're a solid poster and seem to be a good guy.....I know what you mean.

Youve been one of the first on the board to hand out dislikes en mass for anyone daring to criticize the program and staff. The realists on the board wear your dislikes like a badge of honor. So to sum up, thanks for adding to my tally today.Look over here Dirty. While I was fooled by Chump initially, I was one of the first to say it loud and clear that Mac was not the coach for us. And I still watch the games. And gripe about the product on the field.
So your correlation has at least one negative outlier. That is assuming the correlation even exists not just that someone poured water in your cornflakes.
Two reasons;Why do you all keep watching this garbage?
I stopped watching the beginning of November of last year. Then I think I watched the bowl game.
I don’t remember the last game I watched this year. But I don’t think I’ve even watched an entire game this year.
I understand going to games. But why would you watch this mess on your TV?
