No reports on whether this will replace the plaque or they're just going to wait until they do a statue of Gutsy Graham, but here you go, a little hump day pick me up: "Things have changed. It’s hard for you guys because we’re in it every day. For us it’s the constant messaging, the constant urgency that we have to have every single day of what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, why we’re doing it. I can see that every day. I think that it starts from the Head Coach down, and he does a fantastic job every day reminding us of what we went through, being able to use that experience on a daily basis. If there’s a day where you’re tired, it makes it a lot easier to not be tired when you think back to sitting in the locker room after the Arkansas game, stuff like that. Going to Death Valley, losing that game. Yeah, unfinished business is a big theme for us. It’s not too hard to find motivation these days." Source: gatorswire.usatoday.com/lists/florida-football-graham-mertz-spring-camp-performance/Be warned, this article includes several powerful quotes, so have a box of tissues ready. You're welcome, now if you'll excuse me I'm so fired up I'm going to walk slowly through an open door. |

Sounds like the same shit he said last year with a year of experience behind it. Win games. Period.
And can we stop with this “looks like an NFL practice” BS?? No it doesn’t. How many NFL practices has Mertz been to? Where is this bullshit coming from?? Win some games. Please and thank you.

They love their company lines at Team CWT, the stupider the better:
1) Unfinished business- That would make sense if Gutsy Graham the check down man had played all 5 of his years of college football (yay COVID!) at UF instead of 80% of them at Wisconsin which ended unceremoniously when a real coach (Fickell) replaced the so-called QB guru (Chryst) who got fired for insisting on playing Graham Mertz and immediately gave the job to something called Tanner Mordecai. He has no damn business to finish.
2) Looks just like an NFL practice. How many guys on this staff have legitimate NFL experience? The real answer is 0, but let's credit Harris (a partial season as an assistant secondary coach) and Sale (a full year as a HEAD offensive line coach). So 1.5.
3) We've learned how to practice. This is quickly becoming my favorite. To paraphrase Allen Iverson:
"(learned how to) Practice? We talkin bout (learning how to) practice?"
Seriously, in year 3 under Cajun Willie Taggert the guys have really figured out this whole practicing and watching films deal. That's something else. Right?

I am 100% ripping this off from Chris Rock. Losers always want credit for shit they’re just supposed to do. They’re always bragging about shit they’re just supposed to do. For example, they say stuff like “We’re learning how to practice.” What, you want a cookie? You’re supposed to know how to practice you low expectation having mother f-er!

I just saw it on YouTube the other day and it still holds up! |

If you look at the game, there were swings of momentum. I think that’s a good thing. I think that’s a competitive nature of a team to have that.
WTF does that even mean?
It’s hard for you guys because we’re in it every day.
I have no clue about this either.

Has anybody interviewed Tyler about the game yet? I'd like to hear his thoughts.

Tyler said "no one passed out and we didn't have to use the forklift to get Dez off the field at any point, so all good".

Wasn't it the Zooker who said "we are improving on improving"? Or something like that.
CWT must be a graduate of the Kamala Harris School of Gibberish.

If I recall correctly, the quote was "We need to improve more from where we are improving now, and then we will be improving." The exact quote is in the FRZ Museum somewhere. |

Wow fantastic! Thanks a bunch Mojave! Certainly belongs in the Zook Hall of Fame.
Cajun Billy has a long way to go to even get close to improving upon comparing the phrases, and only then can he continue to improve. He must study more.

He doesn't necessarily need to study more, just faster. Studying 4 hours really fast is just as good as studying 8 hours. |

He doesn't necessarily need to study more, just faster. Studying 4 hours really fast is just as good as studying 8 hours. Especially as you get older. Last year the coaching staff was also a year younger at least those who remained. So, this year they will be a year older. The guys that seem unqualified to be in their current positions now will also be a year older next year so we're definitely moving in the right direction. |
