Bama under Saban has set the standard for being ready, but you do you Brenton Cox.

These things very seldom, if ever, have any influence on the games outcome.

These things very seldom, if ever, have any influence on the games outcome. It never bothers me. I don't know if some think they should say they expect to lose or what. Guaranteeing a win is dumb. What this player said is nothing other than his excitement for the upcoming game coming out, the way I see it.

These things very seldom, if ever, have any influence on the games outcome. Exactly! But, do you want your players, coming into the game, believing that they can win? Or, would you rather have them believing they are going to lose before the game ever starts? You really have to be a dumbass to criticize this player for having confidence that his team can win the fucking game.

Sadly, the goal is to get to Point W, as in WIN. Talking publicly, and possibly without real context of the statement made, others may see such as trash talk and provides bulletin board material. Why one wants to provide motivational material for your superior opponent is beyond my understanding, but here we are once again with a Florida player speaking out and now has to back up his emotion. Get blown up or out...and social's media is going to have fun with it, just like the player is having fun. If you choose to play the game...don't be surprised if it gets thrown back in your face. Win, and the glory is yours. And, I am not wishing either of these teams any good luck. Hell wit' both of 'em!

I don't think either team needs any motivation to playing the game.
And I am with Tony on the statement of wanting your players believing they can win. If one does not believe they can win a game - IMO the game is already lost.

It is like when the Florida DB said some stupid chit about Georgia last year and then proceeded to get his bell rung up by the player he popped off about.

If anything I was on the player's side for talking up. But now he puts the onus on him and his teammates to show "they are ready". If they succeed? The glory is theirs. If they fail? Some chit will be said about the attempt. If you take any more from that aspect of it, do not know what else to say. Something tells me you are missing my point.

Pretty sure I had my years mixed up. May have been Chauncey Gardner game. Someone mentioned something about slants and then got lit up by a WR on one of those slants. Something along those lines. Time frame estimates from me are simply that, estimates, as I think I killed too many brain cells for proper recollection.

I just hope it's a good game. Should be, I have a feeling Florida is going to throw the cleat at us.

This may be shocking to most of you, but I was never really an athlete.
I played intramural sports in and maybe shortly after college.
So I don’t even know what I would brag or boast about.
Me to another un-athletic fan -“Hey you, the team that I follow and like is going to plaster the team you follow and like, because my team is sooo much bigger, better and stronger!”
To boot, I’m usually pessimistic when it comes to my team. As philosopher Michael Scott says, “I’m not super-stitious, I’m just a little stitious “
I mostly try to not get down and dirty and get in other’s face.
For instance, I thought about posting some of my thoughts about this to certain fans around these parts.
I deleted before I posted it, because I though I probably shouldn’t post it.
This is what I thought about posting:
In retrospect I’m glad I didn’t post it because it really wasn’t too relevant to the topic, other than to show Dawgs how they are hypocrites, as we all are.
