Florida at Mizzou

[MurphyVol]

It's pretty simple and already been stated... the one time the game was played after November 1st .... Tennessee won. It would be nice to have a larger sample size to see if there is a correlation.

I don't understand why every SEC season schedule has to look the same. Why not mix things up a little? For decades, Tennessee's schedule was unfairly top heavy... but then too soft in November. That is at least starting to change.

It is simple....at least my explanation is. In 2001 UT arguably had the most talented roster in history.
Two all pro NFL tackles.

Two receivers that made NFL rosters, one with a long career

TE that made hall of fame

Linebacker that started for Dallas

DB that started in NFL for better part of a decade.

Most other years UF simply had better players and coaches. Some years we choked. None of that had anything to do with calendar voodoo.

In 07-08 the combined scores were 89-26. The last 4 years it's been 150-57. Not sure November would have helped us those years.

Let's look at the year after the "magical" 2001 win. Before UF we played Wyoming and MTSU. We played Rutgers right after. Doesn't seem like that's enough of a murders row to make us lose to UF by 17 points.

In fact, the last time we beat UF, we lost to Vanderbilt in November.

Next year we play Ball St, a Pitt team that losing two dozen seniors and Akron before the UF game. If that's unfairly front loaded then just cancel the UF series. The game is scheduled for 9/24. Be ready or don't, just don't blame the date.

If I was Florida and if they fire Mullen I would look at Matt Campbell or Luke Fickell.

Eli Drinkwitz, Missouri troll Dan Mullen after overtime win over Florida

This is a little silly, but I'll allow it when at the expense of the gators

Mullen may not survive this weekend. Wouldn't surprise me to see a FL announcement tomorrow.

I think Mullen's future is bright. I'd put it point blank to you. If you were getting $12,000,000.00 for getting fired, I'd say your future is bright as well.

He could follow the Jerry Green approach and buy a big boat and call it like 12&6Zeroes

Damn straight and Mullen knew what he was getting into. Win, more wealth. Lose, more wealth.

 

[Orange_Scooter]

LOL @ UF.

 

[Jax_Vol]

The Florida AD is a Mississippi State guy and brought Uncle Eddie with him.

Hopefully, they will both get a nice extension.

 

[VOLnMiami]

But, but, but ... Schiano!

Good fit!...I mean he only lost 28-0 this week...I see massive improvement!

No Birmingham Bowl for us…

I’ll say this, LW…you’re a class act. A lot of posters here could take a lesson from what you bring to the board.

I can’t stand the Gators, but I’d hoist a beer with you. Anytime, anywhere.

Go Vols.

 

[wmcovol]

Fla bringing back Mullen another yr is best for the rest of the SEC East.

Thank you for the kind words.

As I said to @Orangeslice13 earlier in the season, this isn’t life or death, it’s just a football game.

I too include you among my imaginary friends.

They aren't going anywhere.

Don't use logic. It's far easier to look in the mirror and lie to yourself

I was watching the game with my FIL and we were pretty surprised he didn’t try to play football with 1:09 to go. when we saw news he was fired he said “I would have fired him just for that.”

Especially when you aren't able to rub everyone's noses in how much and how often you beat their ass. Then... it's just a game.

Not saying YOU do that... but there is a lot of it from gata world

I think you may have confused me with another UF poster.

 

[Orangeslice13]

I agree.
Other than the 0-12 stuff I find you to be reasonable
Plus you’re fun to trade barbs with

 

[VolStrom]

You do have some snarky gator look a likes that like to poke fun of TN. I suppose that since FL has joined the fire a coach every 3/4 years club, your clan can take the reciprocal fire?

I should have bought a lottery ticket yesterday
