THE LAST WORD ON GEORGIA VS FLORIDA: NOT A MENTAL THING, ACCORDING TO PLAYERS. BULLSHIT, SAYS I !!!!!

I certainly hope all the ladies out there will not take offense to the comparisons that are about to be laid out. However, that being said, I cannot ignore what to me is an obvious comparison to the mental state of a domestic mentally and physically abused woman over a period of several years and the mental state of our players and coaching staff every Halloween when heading to Jacksonville to play the Gators.

As a Family Law Attorney for 33+ years I have constantly come in contact with women who have been mentally or physically abused for many years by their husbands or significant other, and the destruction of their mental state from these conditions. Over a period of time, they simply become accustomed to the beatings and abuse; do nothing to avert this treatment; only choose to remember the brief positive moments of the relationship and block out the negative; and eventually feel that they deserve the ill treatment and it is all their fault, and not that of the coward S.O.B. they continue to stay with.

Our Dawgs have lost to and been physically beaten so many times by the Florida Gators over the last twenty years, that they too have become accustomed to the beatings and mentally have been conditioned from recruiting class to the next to lose every last weekend in October. Let’s face it, it is not just the players and coaches but we fans as well. If truthful, many of you like myself, when this last game went in to overtime were saying to themselves, “How are we going to screw this one up, let me count the ways?”

The comments from the players themselves after Saturday’s game, obviously were an oxymoron and a revelation that they too have come to the point that they cannot see the truth in their own words: “This game is not a mental thing with us anymore, like it was in the past,” said Bulldogs sophomore wide receiver Tavarres King…”; “…I don’t think playing Florida is ever a mental thing, we always beat ourselves… We always put ourselves in a bad situation. We came out the first half and put ourselves in a bad situation – if we had started the game like we finished I think it would have been a different outcome.” Justin Houston declared; “It’s not mental with this game…” “….It’s just who wants it more. It’s one of the biggest rivalries in college football.…” “Minus a couple of turnovers today, I felt like we could have been easily up three or four scores.” said A.J. Green; “It was just the same thing that killed us here last year, the penalties and the turnovers, and not executing all the plays,” said Georgia sophomore tight end Orson Charles. Mr. Charles came closest to admitting and seeing the truth. (source of comments: BullDawg Illustrated)

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, a Psychiatrist, or a P.H.D. in Psychology, to see what these kids are saying. They are simply mentally rocked and beat because it is the “Florida Game.” Battered women, from my experience in my profession, continually enter into one bad relationship after another, not realizing that they are subconsciously, deliberately looking for the same wrong qualities in men time after time in a vicious circle. Their continuing losing battle against this foe will not change until they get to a certain breaking point. Unfortunately, at times this ends up in somebody getting killed. But other times, which we certainly applaud, is when these women finally stand up; force themselves to make a total change and start over; and succeed in overcoming the mental brainwashing they have succumbed to for years.

Our Dawgs will not start beating the Florida Gators until the same things happen. I don’t mean kill them! Unfortunately, that is not an option at all! But the entire coaching staff, players, AND FANS, must force themselves to overcome the mental brain washing that has now been going on for 20 years (that we cannot beat Florida no matter what!). It probably will take some or all of the following: Change the entire coaching staff; change the venue away from Jacksonville; or change the play date so we do not play the Gators every single Halloween (which may have its own supernatural connotations for this game, which is probably fodder for another blog down the road.)

Until we all realize and admit that losing the Florida game results from our own mental addiction to do so, same as alcoholics, same as drug addicts, AND YES, SAME AS ABUSED WOMEN, we will continue to lose to the University of Florida every October.
