CUM's contradiction about Hospital Visit

[volfromfla56]

When it happened to me I drove myself. . . on a bike.

When it happened to me, I walked to the hospital. Because I don't want to come off like a ***!

awesome, you caught him downplaying his situation. so what?

It’s already started. At last Sunday’s presser Meyer said he checked himself into a Gainesville hospital for chest pains after the SEC championship game on Dec. 5. Thanks to some good reporting by ESPN, we now know that is not true. Meyer’s wife, Shelley, called 911 at 4:30 a.m. on Dec. 6. The head football coach at Florida was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Does the man not know that 911 calls are a matter of public record? Did he think that nobody would check it out to see if he was telling the entire truth? Does he not feel obligated to tell the truth in that kind of setting?

When you hold a press conference like the one Meyer had in New Orleans, it is your best opportunity to get the entire truth out. It is your chance to get ahead of the story and control the message so that others don’t do it for you. Because if others shape the message you’re not going to like it.

But if you start leaving out details because they are uncomfortable, then the media starts digging deeper to see what else you’ve left out or potentially misled them about. And once the media catches you in a lie or a half-truth, you’re toast. The story takes on new life and will last for as long as there are new facts to find.

Uncertainty about Meyer, Florida program, is just beginning | Mr. College Football

And UF's scoring defense was averaging somewhere around 10-11 points per game.

Against some awesome offenses, no less.

Look back at it, hordes here said that UF's lack of any downfield threat and weak passing game would doom them against UA because UA can stop the run. That game was a matchup disaster for UF. Too many limited talent squads played UF well, including ours.

I don't doubt anything you said.

I was merely pointing out that UF's defense gave up less than the 13 points we scored against Bama. They took the night off against a Bama offense that didn't exactly set the world on fire all year either....very disappointing effort.
