Yeah, I gave Urban a call and asked him to say that. I said I had this
discussion going and it would really help me out if he'd make those points.

offense plays even when we get the win. Here's today's theory. I look at the

Well, in one little stat, that is won/loss the new inexperienced and
incompetent offensive line coach is 9-0. Mullen never accomplished that.
Let's get rid of that idiot and get someone in there who can throw the ball

This is strange.
I don't read or hear a lot of complaining. Heck, I'm thrilled.
Is something reading the message boards and thinking that a few
cranks speak for the entire GatorNation? Heck, a lot of those posters
are fans of opposing teams, and post only to create a tempest in a
teapot.
We're terrible!! Only 19-0 since last season.

Vanderbilt, like Tennessee seemed to slow down their offense as the game
wore on. They seemed almost happy to get a loss of less than 50 points.

You may be onto something there. Personally, I'm thrilled to beat an SEC team
(ANY SEC team) 27-3. The only guy at church last night who agreed with me was a
Bama fan. All of the Vol fans thought if we (gators) didn't beat Vandy by at
least 45 points, then we were in trouble.

Vols hate Vanderbilt. I don't understand why, because they're no match in
football. That's probably some of what you're hearing from them, Randy.

Gator fans want another national championship, expectations having been
raised by last year's performance, Tebow and Spikes coming back, the polls,
media etc. I don't hear fans complaining so much as worrying that the grand
national championship plan will not come to fruition if the offense
I know you are right, Helen. The fans are expecting another BCS National
Championship and are holding their breath until that happens. Nothing will be
good enough until then.

No, it wasn't. It's much more fun now. When you get Bama fans so
intimidated they think they've got to taunt you about the upcoming SECCG,
that's fun!
That's just one of many reasons it's more fun to be a winner.

I didn't think the crowd was particularly subdued, but I think it's perfectly
natural not to get riled up quite so much for Vandy as we would for some other
more threatening opponent. Quite frankly, I was COLD so I was trying to jump
around as much as possible. ;-)

Easy boy, it's called an analogy. I'm not calling him incompetent, I'm
saying he's inexperienced as an OC calling plays, which he most certainly
is. I was commenting on a specific theory that maybe we're holding back our
'real' offense in a clever ploy to hide our plays from future competition. I
Interesting point, Zeb. I think there's no question, but that a good coach
does that and Meyer is a great coach. We see his conservative background in
the way he directs the games. I think the difference this year is in the
interaction between him and Addazio. I recall several times last year
One of the reasons I quit Gator Country (other than financial) was it seemed
as though the undefeated record trumped everything else and to suggest
improvement was needed in certain aspects of the game was often treated as
heresy and with derision. True you can't have a better record than
Ok, I'm sure many of us have thought it, but just haven't actually voiced it.
Try this on for size and see what you think.
I've been thinking for some time that we have become the masters of the vanilla
offense. Everyone thinks our offense is struggling, but I think we are doing
just enough
Randy, I think there is more right than wrong to your theory. My *very*
cynical and critical husband started saying exactly what you're saying early in
the game yesterday. At first, he was so frustrated, saying, What the heck?
Why are they going back to this when they saw in Jacksonville how
No way, no how do you keep an offense vanilla all year to keep game film
away from offenses. They all have seen what we can do when we open it up
and there is plenty of film from last year to view. I think it is
conservative playcalling and lack of execution. I think 3 of the sacks

This is such wishful thinking. It reminds me of the old adage, never
attribute to conspiracy that which can be easily explained by incompetence.
Addazio and Meyer aren't holding anything back. We simply have a new OC who
happens to be an offensive line coach and who calls plays like one. As was
