GameDay Gators vs Gamecocks

The ol ball coach

TEBOW!!!!

Loved being at the swamp today. Hope you guys enjoy the pictures

@awebbf5,
Just nudgin 'ya here, Gator:
Lookin' for some more shots from earlier today at the Swamp...Sorta "photo journal" sequence, from hibachi through the growing crowd and game sorta thing, maybe?

Meanwhile, WEIRD day, weirder than ever on a weird day in a WEIRD WEEK! They say "misery loves company"...Can't say I "LOVE" it, get that much satisfaction from most of these outcomes (not as if OSU lost again, for eg.--in fact, 2, 3, and 4 losing only reopens the door to the playoff for them)--but most of them don't exactly sadden me, either.
Some don't give US any comfort at all:
The Arkansas team that shut us down completely just got blown away by our NEXT opponent, LSU. And this time it's at their place AND they've got a fullly healthy Fournette playing a big role. Yeah, "Hope springs eternal..." and all that--but I'm afraid we're gonna get creamed.
I mean, even if our fine D is up to it, they might do all our scoring too, but the offense will have to manage a few drives long enough to give the D guys some rest along the way too.
Oops!...and look what came in just as I was bout to send all this in:

@awebbf5,
Man, thats the best set of pics I can remember here.
And what a day to do it: Senior Day, SS AND TT both there. Gave me chills. Still smiling. And you're there--back in the middle of it WITH YOUR FAM.
Does it GET any batter?
Thankyou so much!

A lot of positive for the offense. Idk how it looked on TV, but the offense seemed to look good. Austin was impressive with his throws and reads, I was also impressed with him and the reason option. Muschamp got a lot of stuff yelled at him including me doing it lol. A older couple from SC sat behind us ,and was saying that's uncalled for when people would chant stuff towards muschamp. I was like I defended that baffoon and you will get tired of doing it also. My son was so impressed with his first trip to the swamp. We spent a ton of money at Walmart buying gator gear. Was a great trip and dread going back home tomorrow , but was pleased with the entire trip and happy with the outcome of the game.

Perfect, man, in every way. Espec doing it w wife n son: HE'LL never forget it. Talk about "the making of a lifelong Gator"!
Heck, it was an experience like that (in my case, a whole season of home games with MY dad--the only time we spent together during that time of my childhood) that made the difference for me. I could have gone to ANY school I wanted to when the time came: My mom wanted me to go Ivy League, my dad of course dreamed of me graduating "the youngest graduate, top-of-class at the Air Force Academy" in Colorado Springs, HIS dad was ready to "pull some strings" and get me an appointment to West Point--so I went and disappointed/pissed off all of'em without thinking twice...Why was this a surprise? How could there be any doubt? I'd never wavered since that fall-winter driving up from Clearwater all those Saturdays with my dad: Always a GATOR! So don't YOU be surprised...
(Nah, you're lookin' FORWARD to it, right?)

Meanwhile, best I can say for THIS team and/or the rest of this season is, well, we ARE BADLY beat up...whatever chances we MIGHT have had timing, rescheduling, injuries and the relative healths of our team and those of the teams we'll be playing just pretty well preclude anything but MAYBE a shot at FSU. Otherwise we lose out, I fear.
You're right about Applebey--not sure how or why, but he's the better of the two "experienced qbs" now. Still think it's a good time to begin getting Franks some reps, but "saving the red shirt" seems to be a big factor in all of that --and I've discussed elsewhere already why I think that's no longer a truly relevant consideration.
Oh well...as things stand, can't help but watch and hope--but let's face it, "it'll ne through hands half-poised over our eyes, "almost can't look", emotionally speaking, when watching this next one at the Tigers' place. If only...aw, stop it Dru: is what it is.Be glad y'all were there, at the Swamp, THAT day, THAT game aweb. But I'm sure you know that, feel that way already.
