This is big boy football, people.

Even with the Gator football fans feeling like their hearts have been ripped out last week from the Auburn War Eagle Tigers, Florida travesty.... there is still hope!

Whether your hurting-

-From the shafting of the season second only to the Oregon Oklahoma game...
-From the defining example of "home- cooked" officiating...
-From the realization that one bad half, even with a stellar defense, can lose you a game in the SEC...
-From the feeling knowing you were the better team on that Saturday night and you win 8 out of 10 times even in Jordan-Hare...
-From the feeling you know that game may have been a blowout played on a neutral field or The Swamp...

it hurts still the same.

The SEC is the toughest conference, and I wouldn't have it any other way. "It's a tough-ass conference," says Urb. It's why I respect the lowest team on the SEC totem pole more than the highest team in the Big 12 or PAC 10. If you live for this conference, you understand.

Onto a brighter note, and an optimistic viewpoint. Some in the MSM still think Florida has a chance.....

"You say Southern California; I say the best team in the Pac-10 is one-loss California, and the Trojans are a few short weeks from finding that out. You say Michigan; I say it doesn't matter — one of those two teams from the Little Nine will be done Nov. 18 in Columbus. You say West Virginia or Louisville; I say the winner of that Thursday night throwdown in two weeks will lose to either Rutgers or Pitt later in the season. You say one-loss Texas; I say, please, the Big 12 blows. You say one-loss Notre Dame; I say the Domers wouldn't last a month in the SEC."

Which leads right back to Florida....

Do your job Gators, and all the cards might fall back into place...just like the 96' National Champs.
