The Goat Pen

I was just thinking how we seem to be getting better on special teams, at least punts/kickoffs and returns. Then we bust through and run off a good return which [seemingly] confirms what I was thinking. However...

DO WE NOT HAVE ONE PERSON ON THIS TEAM WITH BREAKAWAY SPEED?! That could've been a TD. I haven't seen it all season.

That 4th down play didn't make sense at all. One guy goes to beyond the 1st down marker but then stands there.

LSU just has some fast players. The only one we have who could have made that play is Young. And he's not fast enough to outrun LSU's fastest guys. We are probably still 2 recruiting classes away from replenishing our depleted roster with top-calibre talent. We need help on both the OL and the DL first and foremost. Malik Jackson has to be our most over-rated player since Michael Munoz.

We suck. That is all you need to know about that kind of shit. I hate it, but that's the truth.

...and it doesn't matter anyway, because the guy who was standing at the first down line couldn't catch a cold. Even if the ball would have been thrown to him, there's no way in Hell he would've caught it. His older brother played WR for us, too, and neither one of them is worth a shit.

I don't necessarily think we "suck". We simply are not good in the sense we don't have the players to beat an LSU type team. What we are seeing is the result of inexperienced, young sophmores going up against older, bigger, more experienced teams.

I would like to think in two seasons, with this teams experience, if every player gains an average weight of 5 lbs in muscle, the team speed improves .02 seconds in the 50 yard dash, we avoid bad injuries, we dont' have players bolt for the NFL (yeah, right on that...), we pick up some solild recruits then perhaps we can make a serious run at something.

For the time being, it sucks to watch this happen though.

I'm still concerned about our lack of speed though.

We still can't always line up right. We have a QB who ignores open receivers and receivers who can't run routes correctly or catch the ball when it hits them in the hands. We have a center whose every snap is an adventure. The rest of the OL is a work-in-progress. Our defensive backs are pretty bad. Our DL is worse. The only consistently good part of our special teams is Devrin Young. And even he has had problems holding onto the ball.

Face it, dude...we suck.

Young has the speed. He has SEC speed.

The LSU guy had the angle and he still almost got through.

But we don't have very many, if any as fast as Young.

The only suck part I see is the lines on both sides; clearly they aren't getting it done.

I'm not thrilled with our DBs either. They are taking bad angles when going after ball carriers. I would like to think that will get better with time.

We just need better DBs. Losing Janzen has had a huge impact.

Of course, so has losing Lathers...and Hunter...and Bray...

I think whenever they beat somebody, somebody is at home.

Not always. But the only real question this time was not if but by how much

efz

Well...either Bammer is better than LSU...or we are better than Ole Piss.

...or both.

Either way, we're in for another shitfest next week.

Good afternoon.

You are better than MississiPi. They quit.

UA is still gonna whip UT ass next week. But you are better than MississiPi.

You should wish for another opportunity at Florida now.

Nah...we would find a way to fuck it up again.

I said from day 1 The Gators would go 8-4. You were doing homework.

I've got some of the most retarded neighbors. I've got to move. Anyway...

'bama is going to tear us apart. They are a good team. We are not. We will be on the road; we aren't getting it done on the road.

In the 4 game stretch, I personally believe we need to show something by beating one team. Carolina is our best and only chance.

The Gators may even lose to Georgia. They do that about once per decade.

With Lattimore out, you are right.

We give our all for Tennessee in the 1st half - not so much the 2nd. 5 out of 6 games this year..

Damn Rex Grossman. Him and his 4 ints today. Cost the Redskins big. At least they finally came to their senses and benched his dumbass. Stinking Gator QBs aren't worth a damn.
