Semi-holed

There is a palpable sadness that afflicts me, and I believe I can say why.  This is an unfamiliar feeling, to be sure.  And, BTW, we suck.

Those Seminoles...you can't say enough good things about them.  No, seriously...there aren't enough good things to say.  Sadly, they were on a scoring binge Saturday and the Gators continued to stink up the field on offense.  This time it was the turnovers that killed us.  And whatever the offense has, it looks like the defense caught it too.  Of course, giving the Semi-holes the ball on our side of the field several times didn't help the D do its job.  What happened to their turnovers?  We didn't get none.

I am not as devastated as I thought I might be on those few occasions that I had entertained the thought of this tragedy occurring.... Tragedy? Say what?  I will quote from the tough but fair commentator/blogger out of Tampa known only to my EVO as Alligator Army (website) who poignantly said:

"...Florida had won six consecutive games in a series that had not had that level of domination in 20 years. Things happen.  Teams lose games.  In addition, it is not very flattering to be a fan and blow this game out of proportion.  There are a lot of tragedies in life and losing to Florida State is not one of them.  A tragedy would be attending Florida State, not losing a football game."

He also warns about FSU fans gloating (even though 1 out of 7 is not really that big a deal):

"Finally, brace yourselves for FSU fans taunting you for their 31-7 win when they fill your McDonald's order. (Ouch!) Kindly remind them that the numbers that matter are 30 and 51. Those are the differences between UF's (17, 53) and FSU's (47, 104) ranks in the US News & World Report rankings for public universities and national universities."


God bless you, whoever you are.
