Give him a break. When your average win total is 3 wins a year you look for ANY way to put a positive spin on things. I’m still looking.

The good news is UCFs quarterback transferred he tore us up…
You do realize that if they skip a bowl, they are skipping for the 2022 draft which means they will not be on the 2022 team right?

I was taking about the other poster's point of UCF being essentially fully loaded vs a UF team that wasn't motivated. Just pointing out that UCF was also handicapped.

Actually he is transferring to UCLA. He was injured for a a part of this past season. See this Sports Illustrated article:
Former UCF QB Dillion Gabriel Announces Transfer to UCLA
UCLA will add a veteran QB to its roster in 2022.

Unfortunately for us, they are getting a 4 star 6'5, 233 lb transfer qb in from Kentucky. I'm sure we will make him the early leader in the Heisman race.

Where did you see or hear UCF was missing starters? I haven’t found anything that shows UCF missing anybody from last night. Gabriel, their “starting” QB only played in 3 games this year and went into the portal midway through the year. Florida’s QB lost his starting job at the end of the year and then went in the portal, but still for some reason played on the bowl game. The guy who took over the starting role had knee surgery and was out. Florida was also missing 4 defensive starters via the portal and draft opt outs. Don’t know anybody from UCF that didn’t play. This was also the same Florida team that gave up 52 points to Samford, and 40 points to a South Carolina team averaging 21 a game, 109th in the country.
Then honestly what’s the point in even watching or caring or posting on this board anymore. I couldn’t imagine sitting around being a titty baby all the time

Here are the rules for the CFP for this year.
The College Football Playoff Management Committee announced Wednesday that semifinal games will not be made up if a team does not have enough players available due to COVID-19 cases. If a team is unable to field enough players, it would forfeit the game and its opponent would advance to the College Football Playoff National Championship.
If both teams in a semifinal are unable to play, the game will be declared a no contest and the winner of the other semifinal will be declared the national champion. If three of the four CFP semifinal teams are left unavailable due to COVID-19 issues, the lone remaining squad would be deemed national champion.
"If one team is able to play and the other is not and the game cannot be rescheduled or is rescheduled and cannot be played, then the team unable to play shall forfeit the game and the other team shall be declared CFP National Champion," according to the official CFP policy.
Finally, should national title game fail to be rescheduled prior to Jan. 15, then the championship will be declared vacant.

From the broadcast of they game they mentioned missing players and who they were, I'm not going to look it up for you.
I'll always be a GT fan, that means I'll be very happy when success comes, and critical when there isn't. Can't deal with it? That's tough luck for you, just hit the ignore button if it bothers you that much. I personally enjoy debating this stuff with you guys, even if it's discussing the shortcomings.

Sounds like UCF didn’t actually have anybody of note out then if I can’t find a source that mentions even 1 player out, and you can’t be bothered to look it up. So we’ll go back to a fully loaded, high intensity UCF beat a bad, unmotivated Florida team with no coach.
All saying UCF will be beatable means that if we come out and get blown out of the stadium then the staff did a horrific job of prepping the team and changes need to be made. There’s no reason to go into the UCF game expecting them to play like UGA, because there should be a way to win the game. But being critical is one thing. Being just an all around miserable pessimist is another. I know you don’t like Collins. I get it. So does everyone else. He sucks right now, and Georgia Tech football sucks right now. But looking at next year’s opponents and seeing teams we should have the ability to beat is just such a weird time to bring in your hatred for Collins. But you do you boo boo

I know that some people go to work no matter how sick they are, and the only way they would miss work is if they are dead, but that is never a good standard if you want to practice good community hygiene and avoid infecting the vulnerable in society.

Omicron may be the end of the pandemic. I am cautiously optimistic. But that is no reason to put other people at risk due to carelessness. If you are sick stay home. That’s been the advice for as long as I’ve been alive.

'Man go down, next man up': UCF Football navigates injuries
UCF has seemingly been plagued by the injury bug, with about 12 position players injured across 10 games this season.

Not that hard bro. They had several key players out.

That article was written on November 17th lmao. All it did was list every injury throughout the whole year. Multiple guys on that list played against Florida “bro.” It’s football, injuries happen throughout the year. If you want to play that game then you might as well throw out the last few games Tech played this year because we had guys out for injuries. One of our best athletes at WR/TE missed the entire season. UCF didn’t have guys out because they opted out for the draft or were transferring, Florida did.'Man go down, next man up': UCF Football navigates injuries

I just don’t understand why you’re trying to so hard to say UCF won’t be beatable next year. If anything it would help your argument against Collins to say we should absolutely be able to beat them. Because then if we don’t or get blown out it looks even worse. UCF was not very good this year, and they will probably be about the same next year. It shouldn’t be that controversial.
