Alligator Alley

When I know we should lose, like the Bama/LSU games last year, it takes about 2-3 days. Games we should win, like last year's Auburn game and Georgia game, all week. And I can't watch CFB Live or Sportscenter either.

True that. Wish the Finals aired on TNT. Magic, Broussard & Barry suck. I like Wilbon. They can't touch Chuck, Kenny and that other guy. Shaq sucks, though.

2 - 3 days unless its to uga I don't know if I ever get over a loss to them! I mean I live in Ga. Their fans just will not let it go!

I hate losing games where one play made a difference. I replay that ish over and over going "what if". For example, what if Driskel didn't overthrow that flea flicker in the Barner game?

It messes with me for sure, but I've had to make an effort to not let it have an effect on the next few days. I would get comments from the lady about how I'm miserable to be around when Florida loses etc. I just got to the point where I realized that it wasn't fair to those around me for me to be an ahole because of a football game. Do I still get mad, and does it still sit with me for days? Yes, but I've gotten much better about not being a jerk to everyone else because of it, and it's one of those fake it to you make it kind of attitudes....the more you act like it doesn't bother you, the less it bothers you. Don't get me wrong though, when we lose to UGA, or FSU I generally want to break things...repeatedly.

2009 SECCG = one of worst feelings i had in a long time.

The CBS announcers still haunt me until this day

Popped/smoked/drank to many things that night.. terrible night..

Yeah, it was a bad night. Even with all the trim we had over and then hitting the bar after and raging, I kinda faked not being in total misery. Tebow crying was the worst image in the game, followed by Javier Arenas picking off Tebow in the end zone...

Unfortunately, after that Bama game, I've become pretty numb to the whole deal. Nothing worse than having that helpless feeling when you know your offense just can't score.

Losing is one thing, but being such utter pansies on offense is another. Having Brantley look scared out there the last two years, and having two scat backs getting arm tackled by their ankles behind the line of scrimmage against any defense with a pulse has just made me physically ill. It's actually hard to watch. If our guys are playing a decent game, giving it their all and not being physically dominated, I can stand a loss.

Sometimes the other team just makes the plays or we have an off day. That was generally the case during most of the SOS years, and most of the Urban years when we took a loss, until that Bama game.

These last two years have been a pathetic display of coaching in 2010, QB play, REAL RB play, OL coaching, and on and on. I'm so desperate to be excited and proud of our team again. I felt proud after our bowl win against OSU, especially the way we grinded out the win and produced first downs running the ball in the 4th quarter.

We're going to take a couple L's this year, but if we do it while being physical, looking like we're properly coached, and not looking outmatched and scared, then I'm good. IT hurts, but I get over it.

We can't lose to both UGA and FSU this year though. We need to beat one of those teams to really feel good about the season. When we lose it ruins the rest of the days games for me. I can't get excited. I don't watch the highlights, Sportscenter, none of it. This better not be another miserable year.

It doesn't have to be a 10 win season, but we need to show that we've got some semblance of an identity, plan, and are making strides. We NEED one exciting win against an FSU/UGA/LSU this year. We as Gator fans CAN NOT get used to losing. Once we start accepting it, we become UTenn. We should still expect to beat the South Carolina's, Mizzou's, UT's, of the world.

Vern kills me:

(Rainey tackled) "Oh dear..."
(Brantley sacked) "Heavens! This is not good for the Gators..."
(Demps fumbles) "Ohhh boy..."

Just awful! I also can't remember the announcer but during the Kentucky game, the guy wouldn't shut up about how Rainey looked hurt. That was awful.

Me and my lady damn near broke up that night. As soon as we got back to the hotel, I started packing up.

She really thought we was gonna kick in the ATL til Monday after that. Vick was returning the next day too. That was my first experience with Bama fans.

They all crazy like Updykee,imo. They even got some crazy black Updykes.

Yes the way we lose sometimes is pathetic.. HARD to watch..

the last two years I realized I got happy when we got first downs..

When I watch other teams they make 1st downs look so easy.. we struggle for 10 yards.. its just bee hard to watch i guess that's why i get so mad

Idk whats worse.. when we cant get a 1st down or a rb just running it str8 up the gut 10 plays str8 and we can't do nothing to stop them..

helpless feeling
