Lol, exactly.  Well done Resin.  Some major flip flopping going on.

Who is flip flopping?

Maybe I misunderstood. The Michigan team we beat wasn’t the same team that lost to Ohio state. 4 starters didn’t play and the team as a whole didn’t care about the game.  It was eerily similar to the ucf auburn game. But, unlike ucf, no gators are claiming a NC. It’s just a win in a bowl game that doesn’t mean much

Did you see this?

...And beating an auburn team, at the end of the year, that had given up on the season doesn’t count. 

I stand behind this

I'm not busting on you salty. Just making a point that it was said by many that Auburn gave up before the game was even played

I hear you resin,  I was absolutely one of those people. I believe the same about Michigan except for a few players that showed up.  If we played 9 more games on a neutral field, I don’t think we beat them that badly again, and probably loose more than we win. It meant a lot more to us than it did them. Very similarly to the ucf auburn game. I’m also not sure how motivated LSU will be, but hoping that they won’t be let down by having to play ucf.

 Games over. Happy for the win. UMi probably felt beat down after that OSU debacle. I think the hangover was pretty big from that. At least we weren’t bowl less with a losing season and a questionable future. Been there done that lately

I am glad Harbaugh got upstaged on the national scene. Go Gators!

It was easy to see who wanted to win. 

Unlike the gators Michigan had their eyes on a playoff spot when that vanished ,it was obvious, they had no interest in being in the Bowl game. 

As you would say , the better team won. 

No they didn’t. The better team wasn’t interested in playing and laid an egg. 

The better team on game day always wins. That “didn’t want to be there” stuff is a load of crap. If a team goes on the field not caring if they win or lose, then they are a bunch of losers to start with. They were playing in a major bowl on national tv. They got their a zz haded to them. If that doesn’t humiliate them, they shouldn’t be playing next year.

To the Gator fans, congrats on a pretty dang good season. Hopefully my guys will be a little more competitive with y’all next year. 

Do you feel that way about UCF vs auburn last year? 

Didn’t really care one way or the other. I won’t lose any sleep over the result either way this year, either. Ill be driving home from my lease while they’re playing, so I won’t see any of it or hear it on the radio. Even if UCF wins, I still won’t think they should have been in the playoffs. They’re the higher ranked team, they should win. And beating one decent team missing 4-5 started isn’t what folks mean when they say play a tougher schedule.

Keller, since you quoted me why don’t you do a search and find anything I posted about AU not wanting to be there. Have a good time trying to find anything. After you fail, have the nads to come back and say you were wrong.

My comment wasn't directed at you, but rather at those who agreed, given they clearly didn't agree when it was about UCF.

I doubt that those 4 starters would have made much of a difference. Look at the stats. 
 Maybe Florida would have only won by 14 points? And maybe a dozen yards less?

  Didn't Florida have a bunch of players on suspension when they played Michigan that one year and lost. Guess the excuse doesn't work both ways?

I must of missed something? I don't recall any UF fans beating their chest after beating Michigan. It appears many including myself are pleased with the progress Mullen has made with this team. Unfortunately with today's entitled athletes having your team motivated and "inspired" to play a game this time of year is half the battle. Obviously Mullen did a better job of that than did Harbaugh. UF was the better team that day. Just like UCF was the better team the day they beat Auburn.

No worries.  I should have been more clear in my post(s).  I can easily see why you read it the way you did.
