"It's like Coach Muschamp says, he's going to do what's necessary to win each week. We are what we are. We're not an explosive team offensively. We're going to play great defense and special teams and grind games out. It may not be pretty, but the win at the end of the day is all that matters," Johnson said while people behind him yelled for him to, "get the fuck outta here with that shit."
Most fans, like Mason Porter, staunchly disagree with Johnson's view. "Will Muschamp is trying to turn the University of Florida into the University of Alabama. Tide fans love boring football, but we're Florida. We should be scoring 40 points a game and blowing everyone out. It's been the same story the last three years. Our offense stinks. And now we've got people like Art Johnson going around sounding like a damn fool by saying, 'a win is a win.' Muschamp's brainwashing these people. I want to punch people like Art Johnson in the face. I won't stand for this. Steve Spurrier wouldn't stand for this. And Gator Nation shouldn't stand for this."
The shift from the high-scoring offenses of the past to the physical, defensive mentality of this current Gators team has been jarring to some in the fanbase. Will Muschamp offered a handwanking gesture when he was asked if he felt his coaching philosophy was a good fit at Florida. Adding, "Get ready for a 21-0 win over Louisiana-Lafayette next week. Oh, and we're 8-1. You're welcome, motherfuckers."
Athletic director Jeremy Foley quickly jumped in and did some quick PR work. "What coach meant to say was, come on out and see an exciting homecoming game full of offensive fireworks as the team goes for their ninth win. Plenty of tickets are still available. Come live life in The Swamp. Seriously, we're 8-1, why isn't the stadium filled? Buy tickets!"
Notes: Andre Debose did not suit up because he felt his season wasn't quite disappointing enough...Jacory Harris filled in for James Franklin yesterday...Caleb Sturgis injured his ankle while sleeping earlier in the week because he's a kicker...Mike Slive said he's going to give Missouri one more year in the SEC, but if they only beat Kentucky next year, they're out and so is Kentucky football...Attendance was optional, apparently...Next game: Homecoming vs. Louisiana-Lafayette. I can't wait for the homecoming dance! I bet Jeff Driskel and Tarin Moses are going to win king and queen. I mean, they pretty much have to, right? I still haven't asked anyone, though. I'm thinking of asking Rebecca, but I'm sooooo nervous. She's so pretty and popular and I'm just the captain of the chess club. I know her and I have kind of become friends lately because we sit next to each other in chemistry, but there's no way she'll say yes to a dork like me. THIS IS SO AGONIZING! Ok, ok, get it together. Today at lunch, I'm just gonna do it. I'm gonna ask her to the dance and be done with it. Like a band-aid, just do it in one quick motion and get it over with. Wish me luck, everyone!
