How quickly they forget.

Chris Rainey, who’s never lacked for a good quote, has a couple of things to say about the Gators’ new offensive coordinator.

Rainey on Charlie Weis’ excitement working with Florida’s pool of talent: “The first thing he said when he got here was that this is the most athletes he’s ever been around, so we felt good about that.”

Rainey on what to expect from the offense: “Fans are going to be happy again.”

No doubt Tom Lemming will be shocked, hurt and disappointed to hear about the first.

But I’m really digging that “again” at the end of the second one.  I figure that after a couple of years of Weis’ ego working on the Gator fan base, there won’t be a Florida fan left standing who doesn’t completely credit Corch’s success to the GPOOE™ and Percy Harvey.

    Then again, Richt’s 2-8 against Florida, to think Richt will be Florida is mindless.

    • You’re right. Richt will never be Florida.

      If you’re gonna troll, at least be grammatically correct.

      How mindless is it to think that Richt will ever beat Florida if it’s already happened twice by your own admission? Time to go up a few sizes on the jorts, they’re cutting off circulation and your brain is starving.

    Just like a UGA blindman, 2-8, is a great record against Florida. How do you spin 2-8 into anything positive?

      I love the fact that you’re counting a Super Bowl championship that the Giants won while Weis was an assistant special teams coach. Show me Weis’ championship totals when he’s not standing in the shadow of Bill Belichick (or standing really, really far from the shadow of Bill Parcels).

      Or, show me Weis’ championship totals as a college coach. I’m sure he’ll be just as great with John Brantley as he was with Tom Brady. I really don’t know why you didn’t say that Weis had 5 championships… they beat the hell out of Hawaii and won the Hawaii Bowl Championship at Notre Dame!

      Bobo’s got two SEC Championships as quarterbacks coach at UGA. Weis has an elevated cholesterol level and pants that I could use as a tent, and he’ll be defended by a coach that we thrashed on a regular basis when he was trying to figure out how to defend Auburn. You’ll have to forgive Georgia fans if we’re not losing sleep.

    If Florida fans don’t engage in this speical kind of selective amnesia, then there will certainly be an inordinate number of rival web sites that do, if for no other reason to egg us on. No doubt not the least of which will be my favorite UGA website.

    Let’s see here and do some Blutarsky math:

    top defensive mind in Muschamp, + top offensive mind in Weis + 17-3 record against Georgia over 2 decades =
    Advantage Georgia?

    Sure Senator. Thanks for the laugh. Hear it every Spring.

    3-17 record.

    • Top defensive mind? Since when?

      Again, Charlie had sooo much success as the top offensive mind at Notre Dame. And, you just lost the last “top offensive mind.” Do your coaches become the top offensive/defensive mind when they sign a contract at UF or is that a prerequisite for employment?

      It’s actually a 47-40-2 record.

      Of course, it’s probably been tilted decidedly in Florida’s favor ever since you graduated… oh wait, you didn’t go to the University of Florida. You just like the team because you think the players are handsome and the colors are pretty.

      dont forget to plug Muschamp’s number’s as a DC versus UGA in there, or his team’s W/L record. You’re never going to lock down a gig at the Elias Sports Bureau if this sloppy effort is an accurate picture of your skills as a sabremetrician.

    So what does it take to drop the banhammer around here? If Doug were being constructively critical that would be one thing, but he’s just a pest. I know that there’s probably a strong disincentive to ban folks, so I understand if the request is denied. His shtick is just getting old.

      My guess Sparrow the cutline is: 1) when the poster continually, and incessently, hammers a single theme ( one trick pony) with the intent to disrupt dialogue, while never making a valid point to contribute to a discussion and, 2) can only speak with profanity and becomes so offensive to run the regular clientele away. In this guy’s case, it almost is like a referee needing to stop a fight, this poster is too retarded to defend himself. I second your request to ban him, not for having a different opinion, but for not making a point above the K-1 level. Kind of like trapping us in a small room with a 3 year old having a tantrum. The only other poster I recall being sent packing was Thomas Brown….showing it isn’t just rival fans that can annoy.

    Maybe the troll there has created a diversion, but are we going to ignore that Weis has coached two NFL offenses? I’m pretty sure he’s been around better athletes before.

      That’s actually what I was going to say when I clicked on the comments and got distracted by GED Doug. Give me Tom Brady and I’ll let you have John Brantley. I’m willing to bet my house on the results of the game.

          People seem to forget that Brady was not a great QB before Weiss was his OC. Isn’t that really the point? Weiss takes good athletes and makes them good QBs. I promise you Brantley will be better this year.

              Agree HS. Seriously couldn’t be more right. I really was shocked Brantley was as bad as he was last year. Can player performance be assessed by the ‘regression to the mean’ principle? There is no way he couldn’t be better even if he continued to play in the system that didn’t fit his game. I fully expect him to be decent this year, even one of the top 6 SEC QB’s…..is this what you’re going for Seriously…seriously?

    I deal with Dougs all day long, typical Florida fan. They can name maybe 6 players and 3 coaches on the current team, all they care about is W/L and MNC’s since Zook.

    Last year was classic, the sea of UF flags in my neighborhood that usually fly day-in and day-out all came down after the LSU game . When they were ass-raped by FSU, all I heard for the next two weeks was how they have dominated FSU for the previous six years. I didn’t even have to bring up the FSU game, that’s just what they babbled about constantly.

    Weischamp better deliver, there’s a sea of UF egos on life-support that are counting on it.
