I'm kind of ok with his comments, since the UF coaches and players seem to be a little insecure these days. In years past, teams like UF would have just laughed at us instead of having posters made for the locker room. I don't expect to pull out a victory on Saturday, but we really have nothing to lose and this is a must-win game for UF, so the pressure is there at least. Thoughts?

apparently stoops was not. in his teleconference today he basically said he was furious.
"I was furious. The thing is -- I was outraged; I talked to him about it -- but the thing is, he was trying to make light of some friends that he has on this program. But like I told him yesterday, 'You think they're gonna hear all that? They're gonna hear the last five seconds of what you said.' And I know the great pride of the players in that locker room at Florida. I've been all through Florida. I've been at Miami, been at South Florida and been at Florida State. I know personally quite a few of those players and the pride that they have, and one thing: it's not very smart to try to challenge their pride before you play them. Believe me, I know them. And so I don't think that was very smart. It's not something that I teach. It's not how we talk. And really, if you listen to his whole conversation, he was quite humble and really handled himself the right way until the end. But again, that's just not very smart on our part, and we'll get that fixed."

Stoops has to say that, and I'm sure he means it. But as a fan, I'm just saying that maybe it gives the whole team a little more motivation to back up their teammate on Saturday.

over on C.I., brett has posted that the gators have put it up in their locker room. made a poster with JoJo on the cover and his quote on it hanging the locker room. pretty cool looking actually. if we pull out the win ending the streak, i would pay money for that thing!

If we pull out the win, it needs to be hanging in the UK locker room! There's a picture of it over on KSR as well. Just seems odd to me that they would put all the effort into making such a slick looking poster of a guy on a team they haven't lost to in any of their players' lifetimes.
