Mertz says we're trash there's no need to get ready

[fraggle]

I’m not scared, just being realistic. Teams improve the most between Week 1 and Week 2. Florida’s best chance to beat a Miami is in week one. Our offense with Ward will continue to mesh as the season continues; the only real variable is how well it has meshed during summer camp.

Miami’s roster is stronger on paper than Florida’s, and Ward gives us a significant advantage. Our likely weakest point (DB) is not as likely to be exploited by a Florida team that can only field a weak passing attack.

Florida passing game is their strength:
Graham Mertz: YDS 2,903 TD 20 INT 3 QBR 69.3

The running game is weak and their best RB portal'd out.

And that would be different than any other Gainesville Tuesday night in what way?

Yep, total cluster**** over there. That doesn’t mean we should be ****y and approach this game in a supercilious manner. We haven’t earned the right do so. We haven’t proven anything to anyone under Mario.

And yet, confidence and ****iness are two distinct traits. The expectation is that this year, we’ve finally got some real toys to play with. Who knows, we’re probably not done adding talent to this roster.

I truly expect to win this game by 10+ after a feeling-out process early on, and we start the season in a high note.

Until proven otherwise, we need to take every single game seriously including vs. decent FCS and mediocre G5 opponents. Every snap is precious, every win is the most important win. And there is no greater motivator than going up against UF to open up the season.

I also expect to win this game by more than a TD as we pull away in the second half. Not having the game come down to the last series would be a nice change.

Florida is a bunch of bums and I think best case for them will be like the A&M game. Should be like UGA FSU.

Sound approach. Set expectations so high that even if we win soundly that's not good enough.

So then they pass all over us and we seek to win 45-43. Barring portal additions, CB is the Achilles heel.

And **** the gators!

We also have safeties and linebackers back there. Likewise, he'll need time to pass it.

I'll be happy when Popo takes Mertz's knees out....

Mario put these expectations on himself. Convincing the world that being a loser is okay because he's building. It's time.

I guess I missed the part where Mario convinced the world that being a loser is OK. Can you provide a link?

I guess I can link to all the Mario defenders on CIS that boast about progress in the face of losses, coaching disasters, and subpar play.

Since when?

OK, but wait, you said that Mario convinced the world that losing was OK. I’m looking for that part. Not for his defenders on CIS.

 

[FtLaudCaneFan]

This game will define Mario from here on out

He has already defined himself to me as a stubborn blockhead with a side of meathead. I’m hoping he can turn it around as all UM fans hope for. This could be the start.

 

[Schnelly'sPipe]

Mertz speaks that way to our boy J Harris!?

You do it again.. l'll stab you in the face with a soldering iron... Does your mother sew!?? BOOM! GET HER TO SEW DAT!!!
