To me, the nice thing about being a fan is that I don't have to stress out about every detail of each player's performance. That's the coach's job. When I get to see a great game and watch my guys thump another team (and look good doing it) then I'm happy. I'm really happy right now because that team last night was the Gator team I expected to see before the season started. Not perfect, but using their assets. That was just flat-out fun to watch. Okay, so Thompson dropped a pass again. So what? He caught a bunch more. Do I think I care more about that dropped pass than he or his coaches do? Not a chance. This is really hard stuff they do and they're not going to be perfect, but they and their coaches will take care of trying to improve so I don't need to spend the week agonizing over it. Odds are that we won't beat Alabama next week, but the cool thing about this sport is that what happened in earlier games won't really matter once they're facing off across the line on Saturday. We are totally capable of winning if our players play to their potential, if the coaches have a great game plan and call a great game, and if a few breaks go our way. When Saturday comes, I just want our kids to go out there, play hard, play well and have a great time. If they do that, then I'll live with the result. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy both the win over UK and the anticipation of what could be one of the best games of the entire regular season. Go Gators!

However, I doubt they are accepting that level, which is why all of their quotes and those of the coaches always talk about getting better. They are not complacent. Why should we be in voicing concern? They are trying to fix it, trying to get better, and working hard. Go read all the quotes... but an open forum generally allows people to speak their minds, and I don't want to accept that level. And don't think the team wants to either.
