Oh, and like I said before, if your team's focus is on us, then they won't win a national title. There are way too many quality teams in this league to put all your eggs in that 5 win, 7 loss basket. |
I don't know... how much longer do you think he'll act like an immature, petulant child? Of course it takes more than anger to win; but I think most of the coaches and their players know how to focus that anger at this point. I could point to the last team that pissed Meyer off as an example, but we've covered that plenty... I didn't see too many mistakes in that vengeance game... not on UF's part anyway.
I'm not really sure what you mean by the second part, about if our focus is on y'all we won't repeat. We open with Charleston Southern and Troy; and despite the glaring mismatches, I'm sure an experienced team like ours won't be looking ahead. Besides, UT is our first SEC game, so that vendetta will be out of the way at the very beginning of the season, should we win it. We won't meet all those quality teams you're referring to until after y'all visit the Swamp, and all that's been settled on the field.
