Mary's just going to bed and I'm getting up, but we agree on lots of things. A few stats from the Knoxville newspaper: Gator Bites: Florida's 31 points were its most at Neyland Stadium since a 35-29 win in 1996 . . . Forty-one percent of the Gators' travel squad was either true freshmen or

RE: [gatortalk] Expectations and stuff

Good thoughts Mary! I think one of the things we forget is that this is supposed to be a rebuilding year. In years past, we would be tickled to have a 14 point win over Tennessee at Knoxville. The problem is that we measure everything on the field right now with how it contributes to our

RE: [gatortalk] Take off your orange and blue glasses

Well, I said all along that I expected another 2006 game. I was preparing myself to be behind going into the half and then playing catch-up in the second half. I fully expected to win, but I thought the score would be closer. Note: I was disappointed in the coaching, but happy with the progress

Re: [gatortalk] Take off your orange and blue glasses

There is a noticable difference in attitude between us older generation Gators who can appreciate the development of a football team over a season or two and the entitlement Gator fans that are convinced that something has been stolen from them if the Gators don't blow out every opponent. It is

Re: [gatortalk] Take off your orange and blue glasses

I think it's time for a history lesson: In 1996 we struggled against Vanderbilt (we won by 7 points) and we LOST to FSU and we still won the national championship. In 2006 we struggled at Tennessee (we won by ONE point) and against South Carolina at home (we won by ONE point) and still won the

We are suppose to have one of the best QBs, offensive lines, WRs, and RBs (or so we have been told all year). Granted, after only three games (but it's better than using stats after just one game) Plus - remember this has been a span of three relatively easy (tune-up) games. The

On the third Saturday in September 2006, we came from behind to beat UT by one point (21-20) in Knoxville. Not very impressive, but remember how our season ended? By destroying Ohio State 41-14 for the National Championship. A little trivia: Our 31 points in Knoxville this past Saturday was the
