After making slow, deliberate love to a sixer of Jai Alai during that abortion of a game I'd like to acknowledge that I still want to die.

Let me be clear: the sweet release of death is preferable to watching another down of McElwain football.

UF flew to the mountains, engaged in a dog-and-pony show for the honor of buying out a 10M contract of an offensive 'guru.' He transformed CSU from 3-9 to 10-3 with an explosive offense, and it seemed like a good fit.

3 years of middling success later, I'm not sure it's workable. He has hitched his UF career to Doug loving Nussmeier, a man run out of Michigan for lovely offense. The team has regressed in every phase other than special teams, and even that is inconsistent.

Each of these "successful" seasons have closed with big losses to FSU and Bama in Atlanta. Year One had the bonus of a completely noncompetitive blowout loss to Michigan and their also-first year head coach.

Our OL was pushed around by the front 7 that was mauled by Troy a week ago. I just....

Our remaining schedule:
Texas A&M Probable Loss.
Georgia Definite Loss
Missouri Probable Win
South Carolina Probable Loss
UAB Win
Florida State Almost Definite Loss

A 5-6 record this year feels really loving likely, actually.

I'm not sure where we go from here. I don't know why the program is so broken. The playcalling is poo poo. Our players are made of glass. Our defense is talented but profoundly undisciplined.

A record that bad would likely torpedo our next recruiting class or two.

I'm at a total loss. What a loving unwatchable mess.

That seems like probably not a huge deal given the defense he was playing and the likelihood of Hail Marys working in general. Also Nebraska won a game that year on the Flea Kicker, which was both insanely lucky bullshit and against the rules, if you really want to play what ifs from 1997 (there is also a pretty decent chance they don't get enough coaches to change their minds and vote Nebraska 1st without Osborne announcing his retirement right before the bowl game)

Haha, I forgot about the kick thing against Mizzou.

I mean the likelihood of Leaf hitting the Hail Mary was minimal, but they clearly just drained the clock at the end and it was frustrating to watch as a 14yo 3rd party fan.

So honest question but why do some of you hate Urbz? Is it because he's a rival head coach and beat(s) you often or did you not like his reason for leaving UF or what?

I mean, if I'm a UF fan I'm hating him forever but that didn't directly affect me so I don't really dislike the guy, especially not when this sport is figuratively awash in a sea of coaches who are lovely human beings.

Asking just because of recent pages and also having a talk with my dad and one of his friends. They intensely dislike him, I'm totally neutral and if he was my HC I would loving love him because all he does is recruit like a maniac and win a whole bunch.

I don't hate him. I miss him as a coach.

If I'm bitter about anything it's that he made a big deal about quitting to spend time with his family and made a big enough deal that UF forgave his buyout, just for him to take a position at a similarly intense job a year later. Sleazy fuckin move.

Crouch got a career achievement award for being okish to good on a very good team for 4 years because Grossman was just a sophomore really. Thankfully I think we've moved past the "no freshmen or sophomores can win the Heisman" but it was a real thing forever.

There's no doubt in my mind if Grossman was a junior that year he would have won.

Crouch was egregious because he was an ok player on a team that backed its way into a BCS title game.

He won even after they were destroyed by Colorado. Nebraska didn't even play for their own conference title.

But yeah, I guess he caught a nifty throwback TD pass so GIVE HIM THE HARDWARE

I think this is definitely true with Carr, but Couch also got outplayed by Kelly Holcomb regularly so eh. I think him going high was at least in part a result of people not totally knowing what to do with air raid guys yet.

Weinke had better passing numbers than Brees across the board and was missing Warrick for the Heisman year. He was loving awesome. And Ron Dayne is still the scariest opposing running back I've ever seen; he was like impossible to bring down one on one. Trying to retroactively fit Heisman results to how players turned out in the NFL is a very annoying thing people like to do.

I saw someone describe Dayne as a 'locomotive made of butcher knives' once and I'm not sure there's a better description. Dude was loving crazy good.

And I agree—gently caress retroactive judgement of college players on pro results.

I've been wondering what would happen if Auburn loses to Georgia, but beats bama and then beats Georgia in a re-match for the SEC championship. Who goes to the play-off? Is there a chance Auburn could play two teams twice this year?

edit: I'm pretty sure the committee would put bama in over Auburn and Georgia.

Bama is highly-ranked enough to overcome missing the title game, but I'm not sure how far they'd drop after a season-ending loss. It'd probably depend on the records of the other teams behind them. If there are several 1- or 2-loss teams just behind them, they'll just fall to a 4 seed.

It's generally snout shape - Alligators are more of a U shape and Crocs are a V shape.

I think Gators are supposed to have more prominent teeth while Crocs fit more seamlessly but I may be wrong on that. Got it backwards.

Fun fact! Florida is also home to American Crocodile -- and Florida is the only place in the world where Crocodiles and Gators coexist!

Coloration is different too:

I remember reading as a kid that one of the live mascots from the 40s or 50s had its tail cut off by Miami or FSU students but I can't find any trace of it anymore--most mascot lore seems to be pretty kid-friendly.
