"++regspot::HungaryGator++Too bad I'm an atheist"

Or I would feel truly blessed that I get the chance to go to our home games and enjoy them for the exciting, fun events they are instead of having to read the bitching and moaning and complaining and whining and crying and insults and threats and overwhelming buzzkill that so many of our fans bring to the table here. Sure things aren't smooth on offense, and yes the defense got moved on toady.  Play calling sucked at times, we needed a triple cock block to win, the defense never came up with a three-and-out, etc., but fortunately I don't get the awful blast of negativity until I'm home after I've already had time to celebrate a win. 

I had a blast today.  I got an aide to stay with my mom and snuck out for 8 hours.  I drank a couple of pitchers of Newcastle with my best friends as we watched Auburn get it Dawggie style and then went to the Swamp and saw a very, very entertaining game that the team I love the most in the world actually won!  The emotion and electricity was fantastic.  It was exciting, it was in doubt, but for me the good guys won.  That was soooo cool.  It was FUN!  The players went nuts on the field, no one left the stands until 10-15 minutes after the final whistle.  EVERYONE sang the alma mater. I was actually proud to be a Gator, at least for a little while.  I'm not blind to our shortcomings and weaknesses, but neither am I blind to 9-1.  This never happened before the loser of today's game was our coach.  It's the first time it's ever happened when he wasn't our coach.  I'm sorry we haven't done it in such a fashion as to make everyone ecstatic, but the fact remains we've done it.  And despite the bad mouthing and hand wringing we're going to be 10-1 after next week's game.  Ask the fans of Cal, or Auburn, or Tennessee, or FSU, or Georgia, or about 110 other D-I teams if they'd like to swap places with UF.  #badword# style points - how'd that work out for Louisville?

I'm going to keep enjoying the wins and not dwell on how they could have been better.  I'm not going to worry about how we can't play like this and beat good teams.  I'm going to cheer like mad and hope that maybe, just maybe, this team will play well enough to win out.  I watch Gator football because it's fun, I don't watch it to find fault and show how right I was by pointing out my team's failings.  Close wins, improbable plays to seal a victory, come what may I'll enjoy the Ws and walk away with a smile after each and every one.  Forget blonds, Pollyanna has more fun.
