In homage to the struggling Gators, I was initially thinking of composing a mail riddled with glowing grammatical errors and spelling misteaks (…), but after consideration I thought I would spare the sarcasm and vitriol following yet another crushing and, in this case, infuriating loss. Really, what else can you say other than this is a team in disarray and in need of quick dose of leadership. Sum total for the month of October: SEC Gauntlet (4 wins)/Orange and Blue (0).
To think that a game against Vanderbilt at home this weekend could have such consequence and be so in doubt is simply surreal. Not only is Florida on the longest losing streak in 23 years, they are in jeopardy of not making a bowl game. Huh?! Failing to qualify for a post-season game in these days when every hack business sponsors their own bowl is frankly difficult to do!
I was going to close the mail by saying “let’s hope” the Gators rally, learn from their innumerable mistakes and right the ship against the Commodores. However, “hope” hasn’t helped over the past four games. Florida players and coaches need to demand better execution and more heart from one another if the Gator Nation is see some light at the end of this very dark and lengthy tunnel. We may not have a great group of players (I have heard the expression “the cupboards are bare” quite a bit of late in reference to our squad), and the coaching staff may be exhibiting growing pains, to say the least, but I think we all agree that we are much better than the way we’ve been playing.

Go Gators!
