Pathetic Gators Lose to Small College 26-20

So my University of Florida football team has skidded so far down this year that they just lost to a minor team, Georgia Southern, 26-20.  This was the "extra" game on the schedule after the regular season limit was increased to twelve...designed for Florida to have a breather as they prepared for their annual rivalry contest against Florida State.  Instead, they have now lost six in a row and have a 4-7 record and a guaranteed losing season, making them bowl ineligible.  Why, though, anyone would care to see them in a bowl after this dismal season is beyond me.  But for some reason there is no blame coming to the coaching staff from Athletic Director Foley.  Back in 2004, Ron Zook was fired mid-season as head coach for a much better performance...but current coach Will Muschamp seems to have entranced the Florida A.D. somehow in spite of the mediocrity he is showcasing.  Sure, the Gators have had their share of injuries, but so have other teams...who somehow seem to have been able to fill in the gaps with players off their bench.  With Florida though, it's all about the injuries and not about the coaching philosophy, strategy, or decisions.  I see little hope for improvement next year under Muschamp, but sooner or later the clamor by the fans and alumni will be too loud for Mr. Foley to ignore...
