I'll take these bad nights along with the good ones. As long as I'm a Gator, life is good. A few thoughts on the game, kind of responding to all the posts I've read tonight... This is what a lot of us were worried about all year and why we didn't think it was good enough to just squeak out wins in our other games. This is the same offense we've seen all year, but we finally found a team our defense couldn't handle and we really needed an explosive offense to offset that. We wanted to see domination on offense against the mediocre teams because we knew that eventually we would be in a game like this where the offense would have to carry the defense. They didn't and we lost. Alabama was simply the better team tonight in every aspect of the game. They have my congratulations and I hope they dominate Texas just as thoroughly. Four MNC's in a row for the SEC would be awesome. The news outlets all say that Cincy will play in the Sugar, so I think they'll be our opponent. It's an interesting story line that Urban will be coaching against his alma mater. I think we'd better take them very seriously, because they're a good team and we could easily do like Alabama did last year if our kids don't get their heads on straight. 13-1 would NOT be a failed season!!! I'm in agreement about needing a new OC, but not just because of tonight. It's our defense that performed below expectations tonight; our offense was what it was all year. In fact, I would say we were outcoached in every aspect of the game. If I had to complain about any coach over the season, it would be our receivers coach, Gonzales. How can our receivers go game after game dropping balls that Tebow puts right in their hands? They've been doing that all year. We're losing a lot of talent at the end of the season, but I am very optimistic about next year. If we get a good DC, and if the D performs reasonably well, then we'll do okay. I think we'll see a more productive offense than we saw this year. We could easily be in the hunt for championships next year if a few things fall into place for us. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy the anticipation of this team's last game in the Sugar Bowl. I'll be sorry to see Timmy go, but I'm also excited for him for all the new adventures he has ahead. Go Gators! Beat Cincy!
