Florida Gators HUMILIATED by Oklahoma! Where Does Jon Sumrall Go From Here?!

New week, same storyline. Florida Gators get dragged versus Oklahoma. Got a lot to talk about. Quarterback drama. Where do we go next? What's happening? What's going on? Is Buster Faulkner still there? We'll discuss it all today. Be sure to smash the like button, subscribe, and let's get on into it, baby. Come on. Boys and girls, good to see you. Welcome back to High Top Sports. Today is Sober Sunday Thoughts, and how this day works is we are able to sit back, relax, and have a sober thought about what happened yesterday. We have the call-in show right after the game where we're full of piss and vinegar. We were either fiery or we're upset. Yesterday, it wasn't really fiery or upset. It was just exhaustion. It kind of was the theme of the show yesterday. But you're able to sleep on it if you were even able to go to sleep after watching that performance. And then we come back and discuss it. We have conversations about it. Try to have a more clear-eyed vision on some things. And look, I've unfortunately have had plenty of sober thoughts right after the game because you get sobered up during the game. And again, this is an analogy. It's not like I'm actually hammered during the game and I sobered. It's just that high feeling slowly gets sucked away. And the excitement that you have for your Florida Gators gets killed. And you start to have the realization of like, we are just not very good. And here. I know the comments are going to say, hey, John's been telling us we're not good. I hear you, and I get all that, and I can appreciate that. I can appreciate the honesty, and I keep feeling like I'm still beating the same drum. It's the lack of adjustment. It's the lack of energy. It's the lack of change in certain areas that— Yes, you can suck. You may not be good in certain places, but there are things that I believe, and maybe I'm wrong on this, that you can have control on immediately. That's my thought. That's my opinion. And I think that that's a valid opinion because we've seen it. And we've seen it at the University of Florida, not just elsewhere. We've seen people be able to come in. We've seen it this year. We saw it against the game, the team we were going against. They fired their offensive coordinator a week ago. They had a tight end coach come in and call plays. Who was a high school coach just two years ago or something like that. And he had a, he looked like, he was out there looking like a $2 million offensive coordinator. Oh no, we have the $2 million offensive coordinator. Okay, I got the two confused. My apologies. And I do apologize. I know usually we come here for a little bit more optimism, more excitement. Today, we're going to be a little more bitter. Have some more frustrations. Try to have a clear eye and a clear vision moving forward. But, I'm frustrated, right? As I'm sure many of you are and are maybe looking for an outlet to express some frustrations. Obviously, the Colin show is always exciting because people have a different perspective of what they think it is. We've got, you know, a lot of the people are like, the talent was obviously a main concern, which I understand that perception. You've got Buster Faulkner, who just looks absolutely lost in the sauce. I think we have seen more than enough of him, but it's not just him. I mean, across the board, I think John is going to have to have a, massive self-reflection of looking around of what pieces are surrounding him. And we talk about these pressures and we've heard what he has to say about we're going to get better. I promise you we're going to get better. And look, I want to trust you. I want to believe in you. From week to week, I haven't really seen a whole lot. The defense, we've said, has been okay. Yesterday, it wasn't fantastic. It wasn't atrocious. It's kind of middle of the pack. John Mateer in this offense that has been absolutely abysmal comes out and marches down the football field. Scripted drives, but sure, this is, I mean, a first-time coordinator putting a long-term defensive coordinator and Brad White in an absolute blender. And if we want to look at talent for just a quick second, Florida's defense, that's where their strong suit is. That is where the talent is. Oklahoma, their talent is not on the offense at all sides on the defense for them. So it was a mismatch in favor of Florida on paper, right? And so that's where my head starts to get a little bit scratchy of like, how are we still, how are they just coming out into our field at our house at night? In the swamp. One of the most electric places to play. Still is. And that's the thing that kills me. We deal with a lot as Florida fans. And yes, can we be toxic? Can we be psychotic? Without a shadow of a doubt. But as I've always said, what comes with that is the great fan base that it is. And I saw it again last night. Five and three. Backs against the wall. This place is thumping. Like it was right back to, I told you at FAU music's going, this place is rattling around me and it rattled damn near an 85% of the game, right up until they scored that last touchdown to go up 20 to seven. But you could, cause you could see the score. Like you felt that you were in it. Although the performance on the field, I felt that we were kind of out of it from, from jump street. Like I watching that game at a heart of hearts. I was like, we need a miracle to happen. Like, I don't feel good about what we have shown to make me believe like, okay, we're turning it around. We had some offensive drives. I was like, okay, maybe something's starting to click here. We're starting to find something. But as soon as we did, we'd come out and go three and out. And all the energy would be sucked out of the room. But to call this fan base toxic, as we continue to show up, give you 23 sellouts, it's asinine. So I'm sick of hearing about it. I'm sick of getting the finger pointed at us for how we react. I'm sick of it for the fans taking flack of like, oh, we're too harsh or we're too critical. No, look, I mean, everyone has their way of reacting and handling. I think that's the case. We're just tired of seeing ---- football. There's no reason for it. And I spoke with some former Gators that were there and talked to them about their conversations with the other Gator greats that were there. Obviously you had Jarvis Moss and Stephen Harris and just these greats that have come across these halls. And a lot of them were just blasting me. A lot of them left halfway through the game because this isn't the team, this isn't the Florida Gators that I know. This isn't the same thing. You know, we can't really put quite a finger on what it is or what it's missing either. But I was very intrigued to get their perspective on it, these guys, because they know what it takes to win a championship. And I think sometimes we take for granted Stephen Harris' perspective just because he is on the show all the time. And I think that he's trying to also find the good in these things, right? Versus maybe being always straightforward. I think he wants us fans for it to work as well. And being closer to it changes how you view things versus players that come in and haven't been around the system for a long time. It's much easier for them to come in with a clearer vision, right? And I've talked about that. When you're in it and you're talking about it every day, it's hard not to get lost in the sauce. It's hard not to get lost into the juice when you're talking about it from time to time. So talking to those guys and hearing them, it's like, yeah, it's just not there. It sucks. I hate hearing it. It crushes me. And I'm sure, you know, Families and parents hearing this may not like the sound of that, but it's different. And whether it's NIL, whether it's culture, whether it's lack of coaching, Coaching. right now we're all trying to find a person to blame or something to pinpoint. And ultimately, I've said this last year, right? For the first couple of games, you can point to players. You can point to this. You can point to that. But after a certain point of the consistency week over week, it all has to fall back on John. That's just what it is. When you sign up to be the head coach, it's very similar to the quarterback. When things continue to not do well, people are going to blame the quarterback. Other things may not be doing well. And that is also true. Both can be true. True. But. But here's the thing. Whether it was, maybe it may not necessarily be just in the middle of the season management. It could have been. The oversight of, and he's already admitted to this, the mismanagement of the portal. Not going after certain things that they are now realizing how much more they needed to go after. I think that he may have regretted some coaching hires. And that's going to be interesting to me. There's a lot of people, I think, on this staff that are going to have to get canned. And you're going to have to make a quick decision. You're going to have to just go in there, rip the band-aid off, say, whoop, made a mistake, and react. And I think that's going to be intriguing. Because we as the fans, we are more probably inclined, outside of a few, Looking at individual players because we're used to them. We're used to seeing them. We're used to seeing them not perform to how we think they should. So it's much easier for us to push out players. And I think that's going to happen too. But again, a big point that was brought up last night, we see other players that have played here that have left elsewhere and are having success. Now, are they still living up to maybe the expectations that we as Gator fans would have liked them to have here? Maybe not. But they're still playing and performing at a higher level than they were here. Well, and that doesn't mean they were a bust. You really can't say development because they've only been truly, quote unquote, developed after a year. It's just, it's coaching. Everything's surrounding them. It's the system. It's how it's being ran. It's understanding who you are. And that's my biggest complaint with Brad and Buster. I feel, and I thought that wasn't going to be the case, but it doesn't feel like they're calling plays to benefit the people around them. to benefit their stars. They're still trying to call their plays and squeeze their guys into their system. Last night, the offensive play calling looked completely different. Now, I don't know if the change was to try to try something new or because the lack of trust in Tramell Jones. I don't have the answers to those things and I don't think that we ever will. Or because maybe it was a lack of the offensive line blocking. I'm sure every... Honestly, you could say all those things. It all could be true to a certain extent. In all honesty. Like, offensive line sucks. So we've got to get some more quarterback motion, some more quarterback draws, some more quarterback reads, and some more rollouts because this offensive line can't withstand this defensive line that Oklahoma brings. So we've got to roll them out of the pocket. That's the only way we're going to be able to throw the football down the field. Well, once that goes away, then what do you do? Get the ball out faster. And these are some of the concerns that I had of Trammell early on in the season. Just the growth, right? Just him being very young. I think a lot of people were kind of frustrated with Trammell. I understand that. I kind of said it as it was happening. I didn't expect Trammell to be, again, blow anybody's socks off. This guy, people kind of forget. And this is, I find this amusing because I got a lot of flack for defending Philo, but I like to defend the players as much as I can. I mean, anybody, honestly. But when you perform at a certain level, it's hard to defend. But for Trammell, To his credit, probably wasn't dealt the greatest hand last year. And who knows how the hand's been dealt to him this year. Hasn't really, again, been dealt the biggest, you know, opportunity to be successful. Hasn't been thrown into an absolute fire, but still hasn't been good. Like both, again, both can be true. Everybody wants to be right in this situation. There is no right or wrong. The fact of the matter is that the team sucks. The situation sucks. And a lot has to get fixed. All right. And I want to talk about the quarterback dilemma before we talk about the possible portal stuff. What is intriguing about this quarterback situation, because we've all discussed it all season long. And then halfway through, we talked about going after a portal quarterback. And I remember comments saying like, you can't be selling on these quarterbacks. You've got to trust in these guys. Why are you guys even having this conversation? The conversation was brought up because Chris Carter mentioned that he heard that Florida would be going after a portal quarterback. Well, I pushed back and to say, we the fans and people that talk about it are questioning quarterback play from what we see. But how the coordinators and coaches are managing the quarterbacks, are calling the plays, are also saying the same thing. They're also saying, we don't trust our quarterback play. We don't feel confident in it because of how the play calling is going. So it's not just us calling it. We're just saying it out loud. We're just saying what they're showing us. And the coaching staff, the coordinators are showing, hey, we don't trust so-and-so to do this. Now, could the trust be warranted because they can't hit those throws, because they can't do those things. So they're trying to call things to keep it. And that's kind of how it feels, right? Both coordinators are calling it feels like Like, in coaching, scared and... Preventative. That's what it feels like. And we've seen it. Outside the Texas game, if we don't have a lead, we can't win the football game. Because if we can get a lead early, then everything shifts into our favor. Because our entire identity, especially on defense, is just keep the game in front of you. So we're not going to have any boom plays. We're not going to have any picks. We're not going to be big-time sacks for a loss when you least expect it. Because our entire identity on offense is to just keep it in front of you. Offensively, our identity, slow things down and try to drag it out and either get seven or three ideally is the goal. But when we're down and the defense knows that we're down, we all of a sudden this internal clock clicks up and it feels like the defense can just tee off on us. I said it last night too. I can't seem to figure out what it is, but if there is a tell, if the play calling is just that bad, I don't know. I couldn't tell you. How are you? It feels like they have our playbook at times with how they're able to tee off on a few things. It's not just Oklahoma. I mean, it's been everybody since Mizzou. They're able to just tee off. There is something that I do want to discuss as well, too. I was able to sit behind the end zone last night. I had a fantastic view of the game. Didn't like watching it at times because it was hard to see as I get further down the field, but you're able to see things that you typically wouldn't see. And I was sitting next to our guy from the Discord, Tendencies start to show through anybody. And they wanted to utilize tight ends. They were having John Mateer hit these little out routes just to kind of get him comfortable. Once you have tight ends, out route, and you're able to run the ball, and then he was their biggest rusher, him being John Mateer, that was a transition or an adjustment they made in the second half. They were more than just one-dimensional. They had it going any way which way they wanted. And it wasn't like this big explosive offense. It wasn't just razzle-dazzle. It was super just simple, complimentary, hit your spots, and execute. And again, that goes back to Florida not being able to execute or do anything, but it felt like Witten called to what he had versus trying to call what he thinks he should call, if that makes sense. So I've got a guy, a tight end coach, that learned to adjust better than it feels like our $2 million offensive coordinator. You could see when they were going to run the ball. I mean, it wasn't like they were, I would say, super secretive, but they were able to run it effectively. The tight end releases they had, them chipping off the blocks. We don't do any of that. Again, we're still not pressing on the cornerbacks, especially when they keep hitting us with these little out routes. Like, why aren't we jumping on it? Again, we're very reactive to everything, the defense. And again, that to me just, we talk about it not being dogs and not being killers. It's almost like they're not even watching film at times because nobody is seeing tendencies and going and communicating. There's a part where they're left on the left hash and they've got two wide receivers on the short side. So there's only so much those wide receivers are going to be able to do with the short side of the field. And what have they done to you all night? Try to hit you with out routes and maybe a little comeback routes. So they haven't ran too many slants. So the out routes are going to be very short. So you can kind of cheat on that if you want. And the comeback route, well, you're supposed to be a talented quarterback. Just do your job. So, what does that tell you? Okay, watch the tight end. You know, circle him. They're probably running here. Stacked to one side. They're probably running. They run the football. Next down, third and seven. They flip the wide receivers to the other side. They've got a tight end opposite other side. I'm like, this is going to be a tight end release. This is what they're going to want to do here because they're going to dress us with the little out route here and he's going to hit us up in the middle. Thankfully, I don't know what linebacker it was, caught it and played it. That's the point of like, okay, well, Brad's got to put us in the right position, and then the players have to notice, okay, here's what I've been seeing. Here is Mater's tendencies. Here's what they're trying to do. Quit worrying about them beating you over the top. Until they beat you over the top three, four, five times, then adjust. They're throttling your ass on the out routes, which we refuse to throw. We don't throw any out routes. We don't throw any tight end seams, zero slants. Thanks for your time, Lance. It's just, it's blasphemy. It's very frustrating with how things are rolling. At the moment. So let's talk about the portal. Congratulations, boys and girls, because this show is brought to you by PrizePicks. And I congratulate you because you finally made it to college football season, boys and girls. Yes, that is right. You can now get in on the action on PrizePicks with college football. It is time to get up after it. This week, we're rocking and rolling, feeling pretty good. But our guy, Micah Alahado from Hawaii. Then we've got, of course, King Miller with USC getting some rush touchdowns. I know we don't like FSU around these parks, but I think Ashton Daniels is going to use a little legs in this upcoming week for some nice football to get him more in his rushing yards.

Use the great features that PrizePicks has. to offer PrizePicks It is good to be around. And where to go? You know, we talked about this last night, and I know we've got a little bit to the off-season. We still have three games. Where this team has to figure these things out. And, I mean, I say find out who they want to be. I don't know who they want to be. The craziest thing I was thinking about before the show is we have to go into Kentucky and try to pull off an upset. I'm going to say that again. This isn't the basketball season. If I said that in basketball season, you'd be like, hell yeah, we've got to go into Kentucky and pull an upset off. That would make sense. Not right now, but historically, we would be okay with that verbiage. But now, here we are at football, and I'm talking about going into Kentucky and pulling off an upset. Oh boy, how the mighty have fallen. Okay. And. Here's the thing. As much sunshine as I've pumped and have enjoyed and be a Disney Gator and love, that's one thing I've always said. Look, we are not who we were 20 years ago. I've been fully accepting of that, I think, than most people realize. I still am a Gator and I still want to cheer and be optimistic and believe this team can find its way. And there's a clip I posted last night and we'll talk about it. We're going to show it later on tonight, I believe, with Steve. Outside of the game itself, it was a phenomenal day. It was such an incredible day to be there. The energy, seeing these Gator greats, the tailgate. Shout out to Ed and Flying Pig Media for making the tailgate for Hightop what it was. And all the guys, obviously, Dave, Boz, Hollywood, Kyle from If You Get An Integrated Podcast. All those guys. I mean, they're all great. Korn. Thank I'm probably forgetting some names. Kenny and Trav. Like, everybody that makes these things work and makes the day flow. Shout out to the wifey. We're hanging in there, being ready to rock and roll and hanging out all day long, pregnant as hell. So it was a great day. I had an opportunity to go onto the field. I was in the tunnel when the guys came in you. and I'm going nuts. Like, I'm like, this is, I mean, what more could you possibly want, you know, than being a Florida Gator, like, at night like tonight and that energy. Again, it felt like we never had it. It felt from Jump Street, we never had that energy. Oklahoma was running around with their head cut off. They were ecstatic to come into this hostile environment. They walked in knowing they had our number. As soon as they came down and they were chirping us, I was like, oh ----, they feel good. They know something. And we've heard John say that. I know when we walk onto that football field, we're going to win or not. Oklahoma walked onto the football field and said, we're going to beat your ass. And look, we talked about it last night. They hate when other teams do the Gator Chomp. Me, my sicko mind, I love it because I, for me, if I saw that, that should fire you up. That should make your blood boiling hot to where you want to shut that down. These guys are doing it from the first snap. That's how confident they were. Oklahoma was. They were unfazed from what we had to throw at them. They were chippy. There was a clip going around where Miles Graham got whopped, kind of knocked to the ground because the defender kind of just pushed up to him. People hated it. As a Gator fan, I hate it. Think about the major right clip. And I know it's a little bit different situation. He's playing in the game, but stick with me here for a minute where he talks about, I could have picked that ball off, but I saw, I decided to ruin his life because I wanted to let him and everybody else know that we're here. And it's just the head games, man. Like you can just see that the small things like that of like, I don't care. Give us 15. I'll bump you if I get called. So what? Like that was the mentality that I was getting from Oklahoma last night. I'm going to be honest. And we, and we lack it. It's almost like we're trying to be too cute and too perfect. I don't know, there's so many frustrating things that I witnessed. And to the Moneyball situation, because where do you go moving forward? And here's the fact of the matter, right? I've always been the guy that's, that's why I'm saying no more Moneyball. I'm a firm believer that you got to be smart with it, right? Because the last thing that people want to do is invest a ton of money and not get a return on it. Hell, I'm sure they're looking at themselves right now because this is one of the highest paid coaching staffs in the country. OK, so think about that. We talk about, hey, we got to go spend money. Well, they did. They may not spend it where a lot of us want, which is maybe on the roster, let's say. But it's still a very expensive roster. It's a top 15 roster. I know we want a top five and a top three roster. I hear you. But this is damn near sniffing a top 10 roster financial wise. Now, maybe the money wasn't spent properly. We can get into so many details. But it's the money is there, especially, again, from a coaching perspective. They spend a ton of money. on this coaching staff. And so you got a 15 million or a 15 ranked roster versus for money. I think it was one of the top three overall roster or coaching staff. Something should elevate something and nothing's clicking right now. So, you know, here's your options. And this is where it's going to tell me a lot and it's going to suck because I, you know, I don't want it to be this black and white, but I believe that it has to be. You got to go drop your nuts in the off season. You've tried to kind of patch things together and continue to build upon because these guys have stars. These guys have, you know, they are five stars in high school and there's a high possibility it's going to happen actually, where if you do kick some of these guys off that were five stars out of high school, they're going to go somewhere in there and ball. They are. Let's be honest. But for whatever reason, their time here at Florida has ran its course. And you've got to get a fresh start. There was somebody made a good point last night, too, about these guys, maybe they're staying and they feel this pressure. Maybe that's part of it. I don't know. I don't have the answers to you. But you've got quarterback situations you've got to address. The offensive line you've got to address. Interior defensive line, they talked about wanting to get a defensive tackle, couldn't find it in the budget. That's got to be something they address. Cornerback play, I think there's potential, but I still think that's going to be a place. Linebackers will be interesting to see how they approach that room, how many stay, how many go. I don't know if any of you guys have elevated themselves to be drafted, but how many will stay and ride through another year of what it's been. So a lot of questions. And so with that, if you want to... Really flip it like you're telling us. It's like, again, you got a three, four-year plan. I hear you. Florida fans, and they have the right to be like this, are not going to be patient. And I think Booster and I aren't going to be patient either. But you've got to send it in one direction. Trying to slow build this thing, you're just going to stay behind. That's a matter of fact. And I know they want to try to maybe have that Todd Golden approach of like, hey, show us and then we'll give you the money. You've put this football team in way much of a hole more so than basketball and I think that sport of basketball is a little bit easier to flip five players versus 30 plus, I know it's more than that, but 30 plus legitimate players and a much bigger coaching staff. You need a whole lot more to put this thing around. So if Scott Strickland and these guys in the UAA who I tend to have all the time are serious and speaking to the conspiracy, all they care about is selling tickets. I'm going to be shocked to see what they actually sell out for Vanderbilt. I wouldn't be surprised if they say we sell out for Vanderbilt. I'm going to call now. I don't believe that we will. If it does say that, it's only because of the tickets they had already sold and they're able to announce it. I wouldn't be shocked if that thing is half damn near full. I'm just being honest. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. We're on. And again, people always say that's all they care about. And look. The thing about Gator Faithful, man, they love this team. And I know the group that listened to this were a bit more of a junkie, more of a psycho about it. And so our feelings and approach to it are much different. But people still love the 48ers. And there's years and years of built love for this team that aren't just going to go away over a handful of bad seasons, 20 years of bad seasons. I'm just being honest with you. Not totally 20 years, but you get the point. And so, again, that's going to tell us a whole lot. Hopefully, this new president maybe can see this as well and see, okay, how serious do we want to be? Where do we want to go? Or where can we go? You've got to drop your nuts. You've got to overspend because you're going to have to beat people out. Like, this can't be wear a hat on the table anymore. You've got to make it to where, again, you're overspending on things. MSRP is $1.2 million. You've got to give $1.5, $1.6. Sorry about it. You put yourself into this position. If Scott wants to be mad, if the boosters want to be mad, you shouldn't have tried to half-ass it. You shouldn't try to have gone to the Dollar General and get, you know, shitty product. I learned that a long time ago. When building out, you know, a podcast studio or trying to do things, you can half-ass it, but more than likely, you're going to end up spending the money you would have spent in the long run to make up for the halfway crap that you tried to pull with the junk that you tried to get. So just get the right ---- from Jump Street. Now, as you get better and more experienced and you have your base, then you can learn to go, okay, I can go a discounter right here. I know that I can go a little bit less here because of the coaching that I have and the process that we have for this position group. We don't have any of that right now. We don't have any of that. So it's gonna be a long, again, a long three weeks. We've got Kentucky, Vanderbilt, FSU. You're back to not feeling good about any of them because we don't know, we still don't know who's gonna show up. We don't know. How the offense is going to respond. How the defense is going to respond. It sucks. It sucks. Um, no. Look, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer. We're going to be back here next week. We're going to talk about it. We'll preview it. We'll discuss it. We'll power through. I'm sure a lot of you will be checked out. Rightfully so. Respect your time. Enjoy your next couple of weeks and your Saturdays off as you will refuse to tune in. And I can understand your feelings. Rightfully so. Rightfully so. Look, the one thing that I will say for myself is a lot of people who come up to us and say, hey, say, hey, we appreciate what you do. We appreciate you talking about this and discussing this as it's through a ---- time. I still enjoy it, and even last night, you know, it was funny, because it sucks having these conversations. We stopped on the way home at a gas station right outside of Gainesville, and we took a little potty break, and I walk in over the radio. They're talking about the game, and for me, as somebody who loves discussing in the radio, and I've talked about this before, my passion for this is I grew up listening to the radio, Lex and Terry, those guys in the morning, and just... Hearing that, it kind of re-motivated me. It's like, we as people who talk about it, just got to get back on the saddle. You still got to keep talking about it. As much as it sucks, it's easy to talk about what you're winning. It's fun to talk ---- and do all those things. But this is the other part of it. You know what I mean? This is the part that is not fun. But a lot of questions are going to be raised in this offseason. I'm interested to see how John will respond, not from just a talent acquisition, but I believe a coaching. Change as well. Well, um, A few names that I have, I mean, position groups we have, I mean, edge rooms, corners, safeties, I think all those have to be looked at. A lot of people that have to be looked around, they're all making a whole lot of money. And the last thing that I want to hear, this is what concerns me too, I don't know what their contracts are individually wise, I don't know what's guaranteed, but we talked about this in the offseason too. Quit the guarantee bullshit. You're putting yourselves in these blenders. These coaches are asking for guaranteed money with what to show for. So. We'll see, we'll see what, uh, what, what John's got a big decision and his, again, right in here, make hard, tough decisions. You're at the university of Florida that again, I understand it takes some time at times. I I'm not still in the boat where I think some people are probably off the train. Again, that's, that's a tough one for me. Um, just because I, I I've always been in the camp of like, well, you at least got to let it go through the process and try something. Right. But it's, it's, I understand how people, why people are feeling a certain way. He's going to have to say a lot. And I think, again, all the good graces that he bought in the offseason, we talked about this, is gone. And for a lot of fans, it's going to have a lot of work to do. And look, everything that I'm saying isn't anything groundbreaking. Like, I'm not putting anything out there that isn't already out there or that John already knows and his coaching staff already knows or already feels. If they aren't feeling like that, or they don't think that themselves, that's a bigger issue in itself. If they aren't having these same conversations with themselves, Then what are we doing? And I think sometimes like people are like, oh, like I don't get this too much, but we shouldn't ---- on this. We shouldn't ---- on that. Our job is to talk about what we see. And I have been honest and told you guys sometimes a little bit harder because I have talked to these people and I have a connection. And that's me being fully transparent. But at the end of the day, I'm still a fan. I can still see when ----'s ----. Right now it's ----. And it needs to be called out. It needs to be held accountable. It needs to be fixed. I don't have the answers to be fixed. And I see people in the comments trying to go after Cody and all of us of like, you know, hey, you guys, you go do it then if you're so good at it. And I've caught myself doing that before. But it's no different. And I've told Cody, like, when people come at us about how we handle the show and how we talk over each other, we get criticized for that. And early on, I would go, if it's so easy, you do it. Well, here's the thing. That's, I'm doing it. And the whole point of it is for you guys to either love it or hate it and respond to it. I'm choosing to be in this light. And so I've kind of learned of like, I can't get mad at you because you're calling me out. I'm trying to sit here and run a true profession and do good at this. If you think I suck at it, that is as a fan, that's kind of your responsibility, right? Because we're putting on a show for you guys. No different than the football team. They're put on a show because when they're doing well, they want us to pat them on the back, show them they love us. Well, just like any true healthy relationship, when you suck, we're going to tell you you suck, all right? We're not going to keep patting you on the ass and eventually you're going to ---- in our hands, a wise man once said. Right now you're shitting all over my hand and then some, okay? Tired of getting ---- on my hands. Lock it in, boys. Figure this ---- out. We'll have, hopefully, a show tonight with Stephen Harris. That show, I think, should be way much more optimistic and more fun because, again, a lot of great stories from this past weekend or yesterday, I should say, and even off to Friday. I know the boys, I was able to run into Bob Suess, who was really cool yesterday. Hung out with David Davidson and Jackson Ballinger and Peyton Miller, great young men, you know, to be futures for the Florida Gators. So, it's all Grant Mertz. Really cool to see him once again. Got a picture in. DK was there as well. So cool to see all the stars were out last night. As a fan, it was incredible and a lot of great stories to discuss. So y'all be good. Have a great Sunday. Thoughts in the comments as always. We'll see you boys in the next one. Peace and love, baby.
