I, too, had to re-think the game while walking back to the car (in response to Mary and others on the subject). Everyone around me was disappointed with the play of the offense, particularly the O-line. It was my husband, a Gator by marriage (graduated from Arizona), who pointed out the obvio

BTW, did anyone else notice that the Miami cheerleaders' signs in the 3rd Quarter said "Beat the Noles?" We pointed it out to everyone around us. The 2 or 3 Miami fans near us just shrugged. Then again, before the game there were two young women walking around the stadium with a sign that sai

They may be old, but still sound incredible. My wife and I saw them at an outdoor venue in the Chicago burbs last summer and we were blown away by how good they still are. They recorded a DVD/CD set of the concert that night if there are any interested fans out there. -Sean On Sep 7, 2008,

It was really hot & humid. They announced the temperature at the start of the game. I think it was 86 degrees - at 8 PM. I have never drank 4 bottles of water at a game before, even at a mid-day game. I also had 2 bottles of water pre-game. The new band uniforms are sharp looking. They are mostly

Moore can do it if he gets some touchesfor some reason, Mullen (or Meyer?) gets too impatient with a regular running back attack. We are winning at the end.as long as we keep doing that, I am still OK., but the offensive play calling can improve A LOT!!! -BadMan On Sun, Sep 7, 2008 at 12

Yeah, I pretty much agree with Scott. Our defense did everything you could have asked against some really talented kids. No touchdowns, one field goal and under 150 yards of offense given up. What's not to like? Hawaii scored more points against us than the Canes. I think our offense was out o

I disagree with the assessment that there was very little energy in the stadium. I thought there was a LOT of energy in the stadium at the beginning of the game.

Another thing we need to remember is that our opponents would LOVE to beat us perhaps more than most other teams. As a result, teams will play beyond themselves when they play the Gators. We saw this with Hawaii and now Miami. I have no illusions that Tennessee will not be the same. The Gators
