No need to apologize Tommy. This team just is not good. 1 better than average player on both sides the ball (Cooper and Moore)and pretty good special teams. The rest is just very average at best. They have yet to play an entire game like their tails are on fire. I would think at some point pride would kick in, they’d get mad and come out guns blazing but I guess maybe this team is just not capable.

I don’t think real tiger fans were quiet during the Coot’s 5 glory years, we still had good seasons and most of us don’t judge the success of our team by whether or not they beat the Coots. Sure, that is icing on the cake to go along with a 10+ win season, but I don’t mind eating cake without icing every once in a while.
I don’t think it’s a matter of “guns blazing” with that team. When you have a roster full of .22LR going up against teams with rosters full of .308’s, .300WM’s and .500 Nitro’s, you aren’t going to win many games. Moore and Cooper are the only players you have that would be considered high power, they can’t do it alone.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

I guess you only read part of my post huh?
Guns blazing is an expression, it means really try hard. Maybe they are trying their hardest. I just know they have had some really good quarters and some really bad ones. I’d be less frustrated if they could play one entire game well. There’s no shame in getting beat by a better team if you left it all on the field. I just don’t see a full game effort.

No, I read all of your post. Mine was in response to the fact there is zero real talent on that team with the exception of Moore and Cooper. Games ebb and flow, from what I’ve seen you’re getting all they have (since Elliot took over), they just don’t have the ability when other teams decide it’s time to quit messing around and play or figure out how to get around the chicken game plan. It also is apparent that coaches are not adjusting during the game, especially on defense.

What do you expect from a team when their hall-of-fame,head coach quit on them?

Florida could have brought their c game yesterday. What a brutal performance (or lack thereof) to sit thru. Going to be interesting to see what the next coaching staff looks like.

Down here is where a signature goes but they can confuse and anger some people so I don’t have one.
Coot fans are hard to find in public these days. Hopefully you get someone other than me to respond.
Florida better hope they play better against SC than they did against Vandy. This might be the only time in my life that I’ll actually be pulling for the Gamecocks. It makes me a little nauseous thinking about it, though…

Plenty of us in public. We are just drowned out by all the obnoxious purple and orange bandwagon rider's. Might be the first time that we don't see Clemzzzon stuff in the clearance racks.
