Game Thread: Gasparilla Bowl: Florida vs Central Florida (ESPN 6 CST)

[TideEngineer08]

and as I said in the other thread, Army was the favored team against Mizzu. gators are the favorite in this one but they have no coach and I am starting to think they only practiced for us and no one else the rest of the year.

He certainly invested too much effort into it.

So did A&M.

It's great to beat us but if you haven't built the foundation of your program, how much is it really worth in the long run?

Yeah, it looks like Gus decided since he was now in the Sunshine State he could abandon Grecian Formula for Men.

Well he’s making $2.3mil a year vs $6.9mil. He had to make cuts somewhere and we know it wasn’t going to be Kristi’s hair budget.

Well, at least the melt thread(s) on SwampGas will be fun...

I remember Florida in the 90s was just an intimidating team. Even though Meyer won 2 NCs to Spurrier's 1, I never really felt that way about those teams.

This is just not the Florida I grew up with. Not even in the same universe.

If UF QB could hit some of the wide open receivers this could be a different game. I think they've missed like 3 sure TDs.

Well ole Urban once got outcoached by Mike Shula.

True. And DuBose got SOS twice. But that was admittedly as the Spurrier run was waning.

Yeah, Jones has been terrible tonight

He definitely costed him a National championship shot that year.

 

[81usaf92]

I’m half tempted to ask Dub if a 46 yarder is academic.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Again I say... not a good sign if your kicker is wearing an OL number.

 

[81usaf92]

Yeah, Jones has been terrible tonight

Im trying to remember him being good

 

[B1GTide]

Im trying to remember him being good

I was very disappointed when he chose FL over Alabama. Boy was I wrong

 

[81usaf92]

Welp there was a mullet sighting… it’s official that Florida is playing

 

[REBELZED]

How in the world did we almost lose to this garbage team?

 

[81usaf92]

How in the world did we almost lose to this garbage team?

Offense went cold, and defense got gassed.

 

[TideEngineer08]

They are a shell of what they were that day and they weren't great then.

 

[DawgAlum2054]

absolutely no way that Emory Jones doesn't throw an interception on Florida's next possession.

 

[OSUTideFan]

Florida will look a lot better than this next season, Jack Miller will probably be their next kyle Trask.
