Butler’s winter break trip to Florida was one to forget. In fact, it was one of the worst Bulldog performances in recent memory with the 77-43 loss. Bulldog fans were ready for the big game on Twitter, but by halftime social media was sad and angry.
pls
Can we play UC Irvine again?

There’s a joke about missing 100 percent of the shots you don’t take in here somewhere

Not looking anyone, or anything, in the eyes after that.

Apparently today’s game wouldn’t have made a good bowl game either…
Florida 21, Butler 0 – almost halfway through the first half.
This is a football game, right?

Maybe the Dawgs will score a touchdown in the second quarter. https://t.co/5REf7oHp5a

I didn’t realize Butler and Florida were playing a bowl game. https://t.co/WKVjFaralH

Bulldogs need to score some quick touchdowns before this really gets out of hand. https://t.co/UR4skbezWG

Apparently, #Butler cannot kick, either. Missed extra point. https://t.co/UXOZDcRoUj

That pretty well sums it up.

Oh.
This was Bulldogs' worst loss in 187 games, dating to 84-52 loss at VCU on March 2, 2013 https://t.co/aq0srfXmZG

Mhmm…
Lowest Butler single game total in recent memory was 2011 National Championship Game vs UCONN where Butler scored 41. Butler just passed that. Historically bad game for Dawgs

Ouch.
Only time I can ever remember a Butler team looking genuinely pathetic. Getting jumped by an energetic home team is one thing, but showing no fight is disgusting. https://t.co/hXp1ZbNQWT

Neither have we, Woodsy.
Rarely, if ever, have I seen a #Butler team that is supposedly good embarrased as badly as this. Florida leads 21-0 after 8+ minutes. Not only is #Butler 0-of-11, but five shots have been blocked.

A party it was not.

Yes, move on. Let’s do that.
Alright on to the next game
