Re: [gatortalk] Stirring the pot
I think you may be correct... this seems to be much more of a chemistry thing, and you may have nailed the causes. I also understand that he needs to say something, and he certainly knows how to work the media. But, if it was such an obvious fix, why wait so long and do we really think he did wait so long? I'm sure he saw this weeks ago, and if it could be fixed he would have started fixing it weeks ago. I think the past 2 weeks will serve more for 1. Getting healthy and 2. a team meeting and a heart to heart where everyone wants to be a Gator. To put all our problems on bad practices after UM has been quoted as saying we have had good practices is week. This is probably his snowstorm and we have serious internal problems which Ken eluded to. I am hoping that there was a little family bonding the past 2 weeks.

Re: [gatortalk] Stirring the pot
Sounds good to me... but I can't believe he didn't see this til a 3 game losing streak. Is he that out of touch with the practices. That's the part I am having a problem with...
