So I've been gone about a year. Early last week, just to see what's happening, I checked in, and saw a bunch of birthday wishes. Needless, to say, unlike the wins over LSU on Oct 7 1996 and Oct 7 2006, this was not a real happy birthday. I thought my birthday "luck" vs LSU would continue.
Wow! Checking in again today, I didn't know what to expect. I'm as upset as anyone else, but I just didn't expect this amount of vitriol. (although I expected angst - we've been living in angst since the 2009 season, well, including 2009, b/c so many on other boards were upset b/c we weren't winning by enough, even though we were #1 for nearly all of the year)
Some quick thoughts - (1) I don't think Franks processes the play and the checks fast enough to ever be effective, and I don't know if he ever will (2) I think Trask is still injured (3) maybe Zaire should play, but I don't know if he would process each play any faster. One thing is certain - I've never been one to "try to" lose to get rid of a coach. And I'm not gonna accept defeat just because it's a "rebuilding year". But I don't know what the solution is. And I'll tell you this - UF isn't going to can Mac after this year, no matter what happens.
