These people who relate sports and politics suck. It's sports. Not politics. People are psycho with politics and will ruin everything they can by injecting political views.
Gators coach Dan Mullen has become Donald Trump of college football | Commentary
Florida Gators football coach Dan Mullen has become like one of those frustrating, filibustering politicians who says and does inexplicable things that make you question his honesty and judgment.www.orlandosentinel.com
Don't ruin gator tears with politics.

'Very disappointed': Spiraling Gators routed by SC
A deflating 40-17 loss to South Carolina on Saturday dropped Florida to 4-5 -- the Gators' first losing record under coach Dan Mullen, who in his brief postgame remarks said: "I didn't see it coming."

I get point the writer was making...I just hate how EVERYTHING has to relate to some form of political pontification.
Florida continued its downward spiral on Saturday night, losing 40-17 to host South Carolina -- its worst loss to the Gamecocks in school history.
Florida coach Dan Mullen said afterward his roster had been depleted during the week because of the flu, noting that anywhere between 20 to 30 players missed practice during the week. He said quarterback Emory Jones tested positive for the flu on Saturday morning, and the Gators had several players not make it off the team bus to play because they felt sick.
Regardless, Mullen expressed his disappointment in the result multiple times and seemed deflated in his brief postgame remarks. Florida made nobody else available for comment.
"I didn't see it coming. I'm obviously really disappointed," Mullen said. "Wasn't seeing the game play out this way, so very disappointed. I know our players are very disappointed."
But this performance against the Gamecocks might be a new low. South Carolina went into the game averaging 20.9 points per game, and started FCS transfer Jason Brown at quarterback -- his first start in an FBS game.
Once again, the Florida defense did little to slow down the opposition as South Carolina gained 459 yards. But the Gators' run game, among the best in the country, mustered only 82 yards on the ground. And Florida turned the ball over multiple times, including a fumble by Jones that led to a scoop and score touchdown to give South Carolina a 30-10 lead just before the half.
Mullen said he thought his players kept playing hard, even after the game got out of hand at halftime.
"I certainly don't think we gave up," he said. "I give our guys credit. They faced a lot of adversity and then continued to battle.
"They're going to work, they're going to fight and they're going to give everything they have, and we as coaches got to do a better job to put them in the positions to be successful."
When asked how they would do that, Mullen said: "It's not one little thing. If you go look throughout the season, there's a lot of little things that have gone wrong. We're not doing the things you need to do to play winning football. We did that early in the season, but you can't not control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball and then you're turning the ball over in other situations. That's not a recipe for success."

Florida has now lost three straight games and four of its past five to drop to 4-5 -- the first time under Mullen the Gators have had a losing record.

Say we beat FSU and FSU beats UF. Does that help us win any recruiting battles? I'm thinking specifically of Graves, Bissainthe, and Tolan; but there might be others.

the first problem here is giving bianchi a click. he's an awful writer. the fact that he's still employed says a lot about modern sports media.

****, that was bizarre and indicative of how disconnected he appears from the team. Didn’t see much energy from the players as well. Pretty much what we saw against USCe. He appears to be just living in his personal space right now.

It’s ridiculous though I still haven’t had better Vietnamese good here than in the DC area or even Richmond. I need to find the places I guess.
