I think our Secondary is over hated as of right now. Every pass we had vs ISU was pretty tight coverage except for 1 or 2 plays. You would think we just got torched for 300 yards vs them... I'll hold off judgment till Saturday

I think it's the lack of trust we have in Martin. I believe Abernathy would be a better corner and wish they'd put him out there. But what do I know?

We need to give this guy a scholly. He's online apologizing to Butch asking for another chance. Our linebackers are not good. This kid wants to be here. Give him a shot.

Can't be any worse than signing Wiggins at this point... our LBs could use help.

And on that note, We should be going full throttle, all in on the top JUCO DT and LB for next year's class right now and telling Emmons to come on down!

So was there a confrontation between Wiggins and Butch on Saturday?

You are so quick to try to run with rumors. Even if its an asinine rumor, you run with it. It could be that aliens came and punched John Kelly. You would be shrieking to fahr Butch and say that he isn't a great coach because he didn't stop the aliens.

You are completely ridiculous. The bad part is most of these rumors have been false but you bite every time. Hook, line, and sinker.

Yeah right. Butch been preparing his excuse all summer with the 3 in 13 talk. 100 percent blood bank guarantee if we lose this is first thing out of his mouth

We have a lot of individuals hurting inside that locker room. I think a lot of individuals don't recognize how grueling 3 games in 13 days can be for a young football team. Before this road trip, only 57% of our team has been on a roadtrip to Florida. I understand there are high expectations here and nobody has higher expectations than me. We need to remember that we've won 3 consecutive bowl games here for the first time in many years. We've come a long, long ways as a football program and I refuse to let negativity enter this program. We talk about 63 and eye discipline. These are two aspects of our football program that takes 6-7 years to get implemented.

I'd take Les to coach this team over No Stones Jones. Don't think people would be on board with that hire though.

And when Miles got here, you'd give him 3 games and start shrieking for his replacement.

You remind me of one of those Bama fans who wanted Saban fired for losing to Clemson in the NC.

Dude Les is DUMB in game. Man tried the same strategy year after year to beat Bama. I-formation on a defense built for that. He blew more talent than Butch is currently doing. How do you have OBJ and Landry but get beat with ease? If the coach doesn't have the potential to challenge Saban then don't hire him.

Nah I've been pretty patient with Jones. I'm not completely out of it, but if he takes a defeat to this gator team on Saturday, the tank will be almost empty.

Yes we could have, but no we didn't... apparently the staff doesn't buy into the 3 in 13 day grind. Someone earlier said that it will be the first thing/excuse out of Butch's mouth if we lose... And I will proceed to LOSE it if he does... He chose to make that statement true by playing starters in the second half last week... No excuses Butch... they will probably be down most of their suspended players, they've only played one game, they've hardly practiced... if you lose this one, boy oh boy... You think the media is harsh on you now, you haven't seen anything yet!

I'm in no way for hiring Les Miles. Just saying I'd take him over Butch Jones coaching this football team. He's loose and not afraid to make a mistake. Also has a couple conference titles and a national.

Yea I think Jumper is staying on the field but I swear it was said they wanted to keep Jumper at Sam for Ga Tech since he was going to play there before Kirkland got hurt.

That's how I remember it being portrayed before the game. When smith went down, jumper went back to where he was originally playing before DK injury.

Okay, so looking like game on for Gainesville --- still think many players will be suspended... We have no excuses not to win this thing.

One player that we are still not getting solid info/intel on is Austin Smith, unless I am missing something... they say his knee is dinged up, but I haven't seen anything specific. The latest is he is questionable... This would be the game to power through if it's only "precautionary", wouldn't you think?

Sprained knee, I believe was stated. If it is a light sprain, 1-3 weeks, but recovery can take up to 3 months if more serious. It's been about 3 weeks and he is listed as questionable, so would expect to see him, if not this week, next week.
