| Oh, thank God, a UF-UT thread. It's about time! One can only hope this will be expanded to an additional Kiffin-Meyer thread so we can all finally discuss last week's matchup. Yay. | ||

| I think the obvious point you're missing GH, is that Florida returned a lot more guys than UT did, so naturally you would expect to be better. Also, the game was at home this year, another thing that you would think would swing the advantage to Florida. Anyway, regardless of the outcome, or whether or not UT is on the right track with Kiffin... I'm happy to be 3-0 and that we're having to make excuses for wins. The bottom line is that we're still unbeaten and have every opportunity to play for another SEC and National Championship. That's all that really matters to me, regardless of whether or not UT is coming back. | ||

I think what most Gator fans are missing that Sabanocchio is there is a lot to be excited about up in Knoxvegas. That pretty much sums it up. I mean, surely he wouldn't be sitting back screaming, "hahahahahaha you only beat us by 10," would he? | ||

You didn't look at the stats? I'm not grasping, because I'm not caring. I'm not making excuses, because again, I don't care. I would be happy if UF won by 1 point. Think about it, Ole Miss beat UF at home last year. If UF wins every game by 1 point, I'll be happy. Do you think 2002 OSU was upset that they won close games? I don't think so. | ||

Regarding playing Florida, Kiffin said, "When I got here, that's something they told me about, that you better get your team ready to go play them, because we've been scared of them in the past. I think it was obvious Saturday we weren't." Can you believe this shameless self-promoter? You couldn't even give the guy a compliment or a pat on the back if you wanted to, because you'd have to interrupt his praise for himself, and there isn't any more room on his back for another hand because both of his are already there. In any event, I thought that was pretty shi**y; so I pointed out that Fulmer, the coach who won 152 games, 5 division titles, 2 SEC titles, and a NC for UT, actually WON HIS FIRST 6 GAMES as the Vol coach, including 2 wins over UGA and 1 over UF. He then lost 1 game, and went on to win the next 8. Kiffin has already proven he doesn't measure up to Fulmer... the guy he likes to keep bashing. See, that's what somebody does when they know they aren't anything special, and they need a scapegoat for their lackluster performance... who better than the previous staff? | ||

| I don't even care about the stats of last years game. That game was over in the first quarter. It was like 17-0 before you can blink an eye. I had a friend come into town with Cubs/Cards tickets and I could not see the game as I was at the Cubs game. Friends watching the games texted me scoring updates. By the 2nd inning of the game it was 17-0. Later I watched the tape. We sucked big time last year and the only similarities between the two years was that our defense kept the score down. Also, last year was at home and we were supposed to be a good team just coming off a SEC championship appearance. This year we were playing in the swamp coming off a losing season where we fired our coach playing the defending champs. Nice stats, good post, and good thoughts, but WRONG. | ||

| The Vols played very hard and had a good defensive game plan but, they played keep away on offense in hopes they wouldn't get blown out but, on the flip side of that, it was Florida's job to stop them too. This rivalry is going to become one of the most heated in the country, I think. | ||
| Meyer possibly when he got the Kiffin News  | ||

I know people that have been shouting for Bowden's head for the better part of a decade, and I think that's pretty classless, because if it weren't for Bowden, FSU would be nowhere near the national attention getter that it is now. I know that UT is different because they're the historical second power in the SEC, but they weren't as competitive as they old Neyland days. Sure Majors and Dicky put together some good teams, but nothing compared to what Fulmer had put together. I think Fulmer's second biggest mistake was not living up to the times. He started to get an "entitlement" complex about recruiting, "kids want to come here because we're Tennessee." Well, we all know in the world of recruiting that's probably only 25-50% of it. Facilities play a role, and so do the relationships that are built with the coaches. (And really so do the lies that all coaches tell their prospective recruits.) Had Fulmer hired a better OC, or at least played to his players, and paid better attention to recruiting, we wouldn't be having this discussion. | ||
