fans head last left near team third time
The time I went there, they weren't near the team they are now, ... The fans left by the third quarter, I think, the last time I was there. A different environment, completely different. A different team. A different head coach.
alive atmosphere fans game
The atmosphere was wonderful. These fans were alive before the game and through the game.
dislike fans few heard insults might yell
I think they dislike Florida, to tell you the truth, a lot more than me .... A few fans might want to yell some insults at me which is fine. I've heard it all before. Hurl insults, just don't hurl bottles, and I'll be fine.
complain corny fans hear insulting joke somebody telling tennessee
He'd tell his little corny jokes, we'd tell ours. Fans laugh, no big deal. But you tell one about Tennessee they think it's insulting or something, ... You'll never hear me complain about somebody telling a little corny joke about our team.
achieve chance expecting fans good team turnaround wait whether
I think our fans are expecting some good things in the future. I don't know if they expect a turnaround right away. I do think we have a team that's got a chance to do some good things this year. Now whether or not we achieve that, we've got to wait and see.

again boo coaches fans feelings felt good guys hurt perform playing reason
If our fans felt like booing, I would have said they had a good reason to. To me, you only boo if the guys are not playing with effort, (and if the) coaches don't look like they know what they were doing. We were all in that category. The fans will not hurt my feelings if we perform like that again and (they) boo.
fans florida happy move moved time wonderful
I had 12 wonderful years there, and I thought it was time to move on, so I moved on, ... Hopefully, our fans are happy I'm here, and I think Florida fans are happy with their coach. Everybody's happy.

We just wanted to look around in the stadium and realize how fortunate we are to be able to coach and play in front of 80,000 people that love their team like we have here. Who knows if it does any good or not? We'll find out Saturday at 1 o'clock.
healthy improve stayed worry
We just try to improve and improve and improve. We don't worry about how we look so much. We stayed healthy and that's always, I think, the number-one priority.
ball block difference good quite tackle
We weren't quite good enough. We didn't block well enough or tackle well enough and that was the difference in the ball game. A little block here, a little tackle there.
books-and-reading catch pops record
We got Pops a catch for the record book.
everybody guys mostly played practice younger
We're going to try to practice everybody the same amount, but mostly the younger guys. Guys that haven't played much, which is about the whole team.
game maybe played sharp
It was there tonight. It was there to be had if we were real sharp and maybe played a little better offensively. It was a game where we had a chance, but we couldn't get it done.
