I am thrilled to lose Driskel for the year. I hate that he got injured and wished he just wouldve been benched but am glad he is out. He cant keep cool, makes way too many mistakes (giving UT a pick six on a terrible pass today, for example), and just sucks overall. The guys dont rally around him or play with any heart when he is in the game. Murphy had some slips ups but still played better after almost no real game time, averaged over 8 yds per carry, and looks to be a much better passer. Most importantly when in trouble, he made far fewer mistakes and risky moves.
I cannot stand our coaches either, but at least from the time Murphy came in it was the first time I enjoyed watching the Gators play in a year or so. Last year even when they won it was mostly pathetic, low scoring, come from behind wins to barely beat unranked teams that they should be beating by 48 or more. Go Gators! |

I couldn't agree more - while you never wish this type of injury on someone, it actually looked like a real Division 1 team after he went out. I just hope Driskel isn't able to redshirt and get another year of eligibility. |

I'm pretty sure since he A) didn't play in 4 games, and B) won't play after game #6 he'll qualify for a medical redshirt. Doesn't he also have his first redshirt still available? He's got two years left either way. I was talking with my wife about it and the situation might resolve itself in a manner similar to Terry Dean and Danny W. If I remember correctly, Spurrier was always keen to start Terry because he looked to be miles ahead of Danny in practice, but when the lights came on Danny usually outplayed him when given the chance. I guess Spurrier finally went with the game day spark and it worked out ok. It'll be interesting to see how things progress the next few because let's face it, they could lose to KY or ARK but the unspoken focus will be getting the offence ready for Baton Rouge. |

Yes, he still has his first redshirt available. Funny you say that about Dean and Wuerffel, I was at the game and after watching Murphy run a few plays I turned to my friend and said that "Driskel may have just had his Terry Dean moment".... I wish the kid a speedy recovery, but I'm looking forward to see the results with Murphy on the field. I don't know how it's going to end in the win/loss columns, but it sure seems like it will be more interesting to watch than the Driskel-run offense was.

If you have to go to your back-up it's not a horrible spot to be in. Everybody knows you're the guy - no looking over your shoulder, no "who's job is it when Driskel comes back" because he's not this year. TM can just go out play like he's always been the starter. Next year will sort itself later. |

I wanted to have a snappy comeback for you, but... that game was just pathetic. I got nothin'. |

Quoted: That game was pathetic for both sides. Florida dominated and then gave it away. I like both teams, but there should have been no winner that day. I agree....it was ugly. Not exactly filled with Sports Center highlights, more a matter of a then Top 10 team losing to a then unranked team that was the only story from that day. It's not like the Canes will be shooting for any BCS game this year. |
| I'm not happy Driskel got hurt but I'm glad he won't be playing anymore this season. He was beginning to look like Brantley. Murphy might save our season. And how hard is it to find a decent offensive coordinator? Muschamps D is clearly ready but damn our offensive is anemic. |
| Our offense is coming around. This is only year two with Pease, and the O is showing improvement. When champ got here, there were some BAD issues with depth on the O-line... it seemed like champ fixed it with good recruiting, but we have been decimated by injuries this year. |

A U fan that speaks, or at least reads english. Color me impressed. It is cute though that you think 1 win makes you relevant after having spent a decade and a half in obscurity. Bless your ESL heart. Quick question for you. When FSU kicks the ever living shit out of your third rate program this year, can you promise us all that you'll fade away for another ten years? |
Opooopsie, my post made someone sad.  ^^^No need to be upset, though it did take UF 96 years of football to win a championship.....and in 107 years of football, gathered 3 whole titles....while the Canes have gathered 5 titles in less time.

Typical Miami fan, very selective in the truth...
We'll start with football. Bowl game record: Miami has played in 34 bowl games, going 18–16 for a .529 winning percentage. Uf has played in 40 bowl games, winning 20. The Gators have been in 29 consecutive bowl games, the 5th longest in the nation. Your bowl game record might be slightly better percentage wise, but that’s only because your garbage team is too much of a dumpster fire to even make it to a bowl game. UF has more wins, period. As for national championships, UF actually has 5. But only claims 3 of them. Unlike the U, Florida doesnt try and claim championships that were in any way in question. But Miami will take whatever they can get cough 91 cough. Lets expand our view though, because we all know football is the only sport played in college. UF has over 24 NCAA championships, U not even a dozen. Since 1986, the Gators have won twenty-three of the last twenty-six SEC All-Sports Trophies, recognizing Florida as the best overall athletics program in the SEC. Florida's sports program has ranked among the top five in the nation in twenty of the past twenty-eight years, and it is the only Division I program that has ranked among the top ten athletic programs in the country in each of the last twenty-eight years The U? Laughably pathetic. You're not even on the radar when it comes to sports programs compared to UF. No one even gives a shit enough about your program to even fund you your own stadium. That speaks volumes. UF is a powerhouse in EVERYTHING and continues to be every year, the U simply had an okay football team a decade and a half ago. But like I said in my last reply. U wins 1 game and think they are the shit. It's like Monika Lewinski thinking she is famous. No, you've only got attention because of your interaction with someone that actually is "The Big Deal." And for such smart guys going to UF and all the hype about "thug U", since 2005, UF had over 30 players arrested for various crimes just during Urban's tenure as coach, while The U has had 5.And to further this point, the ACC has the highest graduation rate of any football conference in the country....where the SEC, sadly trails the Sunbelt Conference in graduation rates. More specifically, UM also enjoys a higher graduation rate for its players than UF does, which was recently acknowledged by the NCAA. A real stunner for such "smart" gators, isn't it? Really? Might wanna check in on that basketball team of yours. Or ask the 57 football players facing sanctions. I dont even know how you could have said that with a straight face. Again, selective truth from the thugU fan. I'm not surprised. Overall, the Gators totals graduation rate among all sports at 83 percent. It was only in 2011 that the U finally broke their high 70% average, but then promptly fell back down. However it needs to be noted, you know those pesky NCAA investigations? Yep, I guess we know how you got that graduation rate. Oddly, in the list of the best colleges in the U.S. as published by US News & World Report, The U ranks #47, while UF is #49.
http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/09/10/3617519/um-ranks-47th-uf-49th-in-us-news.html (If you're a UF grad, I'd be happy to read you the article if the big words get confusing) This is, by far, the funniest part of your reply. But it is telling of the overall status of the U. The U made news because one ranking organization ranked you slightly ahead of UF. How sad is it that your “big day” is possibly only because you slightly edge a real university. But lets move onto the facts. ARWU Florida: 44 , Miami 69 Forbes Florida: 74, Miami 132 U.S. News & World Report Florida: 49, Miami 44 - it should be pointed out, this is the first year you’ve done this. Further note, in that exact same issue Florida was actually ranked 14th in the nation for Public schools. Miami’s top score was 44. I think it’s admirable (for a U fan) that you think comparing Miami’s best score to UF’s worst score is a valid comparison. Washington Monthly Florida: 24, Miami 157 Global Rankings ARWU Florida: 72, Miami: 150 Times Florida: 122, Miami: 172 Almost every single individual college at UF is ranked in the top 50, with dozens in the top 20. Hell, UF has more engineering school ranked in the top 10 than the U does for all of its academic programs. UF spends more on research than the U spends on everything combined. Hell, UF spends more on research than ALL other Florida schools COMBINED. The fact that you think the U and UF are even in the same league is laughable. So about that whole “help reading,” yeah; I think I can find you a tutor. Especially if you’re a football or basketball player. Probably get them to do your homework too. To put it shortly, you're not even on the same map as us. More National Championships. Not even close. UF has dozens of more NCAA championship than the U. However in football you claim five. So I can kind of give you that. More NFL players. Winning "rivalry" record between the two schools. Sure. Higher graduation rate. Nope. You’ve currently under NCAA investigation for this one as well. Higher national ranking as a university. Bbbbbwwwwwwwwwhahahahahahah oooooooh lol jesus. Lol hahahahaha oh man. That’s a good one. Holy jesus. UF almost has more top 20 ranked schools than you even have students. Your school is a godamned joke compared to UF when it comes to education. Furthermore when looking at combined athletics/academics programs UF was ranked #2 in the whole nation this year. Far few players arrested for crimes in the past decade. Who doesn’t like barking at dogs? |

Who doesn’t like barking at dogs? ...and when I got to this I was laugh-crying. Well done. Truth with a touch of humor. |
| Which reminds me. I didnt address the whole "thugU" issue. You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the people of Florida call your college that because of your athletics department players. Right off the bat, that assumes that anyone in the nation gives a shit about your athletics. Yes I'm sure that you and 3 other guys get excited each football season, but no one else cares enough to nickname your teams anything. Everyone in Florida call you thugU, because of your students and campus. Jesus fuck, I felt safer when I was deployed than when I was on America's own little MogadishU. Which brings up another point about the whole education quality of thugU. Despite Miami being in the backyard of the recent robotics symposium I was presenting at, they didn’t have a single person from the school presenting research. I guess that's what you get when you have an engineering department that cant break the top 100... |

"Thug UF"....it has a ring to it, but I do understand why its upsetting to you. It's wonderful you follow all NCAA sports and require that math to tabulate UF accolades. I however follow football.....like most Americans....and the record stands is posted above. Its just that simple (for most). I do occasionally give a nod to other sports that matter, like baseball. The U has 4 National titles there too. How many does UF have, or should we punch up water polo stats now? And lest we forget, The U has a student enrollment size of roughly 16,000 students, while UF has more like 50,000. I don't suppose that matters to you, that disparity in student size should place UF WAAAAAY above UM in virtually all athletics...particularly those most people give a shit about. The student population, the sheer money available, the works. With a student body roughly 1/3 the size of UF....we shouldn't even need a conversation like this, UF should have an athletic history beyond compare...alas, not the case....at all. Oh the irony! Your hoops team v. The U, not even comparable...UF is quite impressive there....I'll give you that. So the rose colored glasses you view UF through doesn't erase reality, just your objectivity apparently. |

As an aside, I'd like this to be clear. I root for UM....obviously, but in the event another FL team makes it to a big game (Final 4, National Championship...) I always root for the FL team. I was at the title game when UF played and beat OU, and proudly cheered for the Gators. As a matter of fact, I had an enjoyable chat with Billy Donovan at a pre-game VIP party that night. Hell of a nice guy. |
