I'm gonna come to the aid of Dru2012. I know he doesn't need my help but you asked to show us a post were you personally attacked some one. You stated " well said, atleast someone else on here is a TRUE gator fan!" . You may not be calling anyone out by name but you are suggesting that because we criticize a coach we are not " true gator fans". That sounds like an attack to me. Then you posted "waste their money? sounds like ur only a fan when we win. there will b big changes made in the off season u will see." now you are referring to some one being a band wagon rider. Then you state in a thread you personally started " When I first came to this site, I thought great a site to talk with fellow Gator fans, BUT now I see u are all bandwagon junkies " just who are you referring to when you state " you are all". How can you really say you did not " attack " any one. You called out any one who has ever disagreed with Meyer. According to you we are not allowed to question a coach if you are a true fans. Thats bull crap. Part of being a fan is being able to talk about the bad times as well as the good. It is so obvious that this team not right. You also sarcastically post " sounds like u have it all figured out. " when some one gives there opinion. You are trying to turn this on Dru2012 when you did indeed take it personal for reasons unknown when Meyer was questioned. I myself happen to agree with Dru on most if not all of his posts on this subject, does that make me less of a FAN? I really don't think anyone heres truly believes they can do a better job the Meyer. I think most people believe Meyer can do a lot better then he is doing now. You cant honestly tell me that Meyer looks the same. He has delegated so much responsibility for this team and it shows every Saturday. Most people here are pissed that the offense looks so bad. I wish people would stop using the " we are young" " we play 17 freshman". Most of our youth is on defense.Most of our freshman starts come on special teams. Demps, Brantley, Rainy, Moore, Thompson, Most of our offensive line, have been here for 2 or more years. No excuses on why they cant run a offense none at all. Our o-line looks like crap ( Addazio). Our offense looks like crap( Addazio). Who allowed this chump to continue running such a bland offense? Meyer. Who allows our offense to get worse week to week and show zero improvement? Meyer. Who allowed Pouncey to stay at center 5 games into the season when the guy couldn't long snap a ball and pick up blocks? Meyer. Who keeps giving us excuses every saturday on why this offense looks so bad? Meyer. Who is the head coach? Meyer. Who are we to blame? Who are we to question? Meyer is in charge of this team from top to bottom so when something goes wrong and he never attempts to make a change, I see a big problem with that. Addazio has ran a very boring offense for two straight years. He has been out coached so many times no one dares to count anymore. Tebow saved Addazio's ass last year and now that he is gone we see his true offensive coaching ability. InkedAdrenaline please stop taking things so personally. If I didn't know any better I would swear you were Meyer under disguise. Just encase you are could you please demote Addazio? and call off you wife Shortbus. Cant understand why shortbus is so worked up? If we really cant talk and express our personal opinions about UF on here with out people getting up set, then where can we people? Not every one is gonna agree with you all the time. Once we
figure this out the world will be a better place.
Well said, Gator.
While I am fine with standing up when right is right, it's good to know that others see it too--and are quick to stand with me when they do.
Since my first angry response, I tried straight forward reason (with each of them), now you've gone even further down that road. You see the response.
Don't know about you, but I can't see the point of banging our heads against the wall. Anyone here is entitled to their opinion--no one has the lock on "True Gator Fan" status.
Meanwhile, the news just keeps on coming. Lots to talk about, time to move on.
How do we find hope and confidence with the latest news coming from Meyer himself, that Addazio and Brantley will remain in their respective positions and the offensive scheme we've seen this season will remain essentially the same in 2011? I can't even understand why he'd MAKE that announcement now, let alone get my mind around all the things that it implies.
On the heels of "somethings missing...there's a Void", "the player's aren't executing", etc., that rather weird mixture of the obvious and the strange in the weekly presser, this latest response-to-questions has left a lot of us in a state of baffled exhaustion. Up until now there was always the certainty of eventual change--it was just a matter of what kind of change, when will it happen and how long will it take when it does.
Assuming Foley too figures the Head Coach gets at LEAST another year after THIS confused mess to try and make it work, do you think Coach Meyer CAN, in the manner in which he intends? Can a few adjustments, more experience, everyone healthy and some now-freshmen being more "ready to play" make all the difference? Or is Meyer even being straight about this "everything the same" stuff? Does he have some surprises in mind? Either way, is there a brilliant, visionary "Plan To Win" in his pocket even now, or is it just a certainty that if he could just have "everyone do things right" he could make the old plan work NEXT time?
I really mean this: where do folks in Gator-Nation now find hope for a return to competing at the highest level, and what kind of time frame do they consider realistic?
