I don't know where YOU live, Gene, but I haven't seen the sun since Saturday.
Oh, and it's STILL great to be a Florida Gator! :) Randy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of GatorGene Sent: Monday, November 28, 2011 1:30 PM To: GatorTalk Subject: [gatortalk] Optimism? The sun came up yesterday, and to prove it wasn't a fluke, rose again today. Sigh. So, the world didn't end Saturday nite, it only felt that way. I can't be depressed forever, it's Monday, and life must go on. Certainly, the bills will still need to be paid. But, what can I do to lift my mood? What are the positives that I can focus on? --f$u had not had less than 100 yards of offense in a game since 1957, before I was born! (Barely before I was born, but well after Oliver got his certificate of attendance at High School) --We caused 9 punts, and only allowed 6 pass completions. --Greg Reid repeatedly proved the criminoles are still thugs, making me glad to be Gator, even if on the short end of the score. --We had 13 tackles for loss! --We held the semi's to 2 of 15 on third down. --After 46 rushing attempts, the Gator D gave up a total of only 30 yards! --We didn't get shut out. (Okay, I'm reaching, but not getting shut out IS much better than getting shut out) --The Gator D looked like a Muschamp D. The athletes played the coaches schemes, and the result was near perfection. I can hardly wait for next year! (At least defensively) (And maybe our O won't give away a bowl shutout) --The hit(s) that took out Brantley were helmet to helmet to helmet, yet again justifying my belief that the Gators are the good guys, and the criminoles are still thugs. (Has anybody seen a picture on the Internet that matches the paused screen shot on my DVR, that is, Brantley's helmet being 'touched' simultaneously, on both sides, by criminole helmets?) --Gator fans are intelligent enough to have words in our cheers. More...?
