    I think our only chance is if the Beaver's entire starting 22 get arrested for soliciting....

    Maybe the defense will have an epiphany and dominate! The keystone cops thing on "D" has been amusing but depressing. All I can say is help is on the way. Might take a minute. How long has Michigan had their coach? What about UCLA? We've been underrecruited for years. Fortunately, we've had some decent players, some bad ass ones too. But they can't make up for the sheer lack of numbers.

    I wouldn't count us out. Regardless...we will have fight to the end.

    Go Gators. Beat (who?) Oh, YEAH, Oregon State!o_O:p:)

    Hopefully, they are so disappointed that they truly do have a major letdown on the field.

    I guess you’re right. They could be even less interested and motivated than our fans. Good point.

    Well … I am going to a Christmas party that night and I’m probably not going to be checking my phone either.

    Silver lining: we won’t be losing to UCF.

    Like the 1962 Gator Bowl game. Penn State (9-1) had to play a 6-4 Gator team (the "best" team that was still available). The Nittany Lions had a big letdown and lost 17-7.

    You bring unique enthusiasm to our threads. Surely you have considered the fan transfer portal? LOL! :)

    The SEC bowl tie ins often end up like this. A team lower in the SEC playing a team higher up in another conference

    Well you people still living in the south can whine and complain about what a lame bowl it is, but I’m glad we are up on a Saturday and not some noon PT weekday game

    This is great for us west coast people that normally have to travel across the country and use PTO to see a game.

    If the Gators are going to play in a meaningless game, I’m glad it’s one I’ll actually get to go to. First UF game for me since 2007 against WKU. First UF bowl game ever for me. So I’m going to be excited and look forward to this experience.
