    Piling On

    Just a note...I wasn't sure where to post it here. Was tempted to simply open a whole new thread, but it sort of fits HERE too--so I will tentatively leave it here to start: Upon my first look at next season's schedule, it was immediately apparent that our outlook for the whole YEAR will likely...

    Piling On

    ...and now come Saban's recent comments, his supposed rationale for suddenly walking away. Amazing ti find myself saying it, but those comments do NOT sound a whole lot different from my last post HERE (directly above)--His are only, if anything, more detailed and specific.

    Florida Gators hire Cleveland Browns OL coach Jonathan Decoster as OL coach

    Time to just line up and back our boys. Keep the background static to a minimum if possible (I don't care HOW "venerated" a figure of Gator lore you are!) and simply let them all, players AND Coaches, entrenched or newcomer, DO THEIR JOBS and GROW TOGETHER. All ANY of us really are focusing on...

    Florida Gators Men's Basketball 2023-2024

    Last second let down. Close--but no cigar. They might get to the Sweet 16, but then they'll likely fade, as usual. Baseball will likely, eventually go a bit better... But the penultimate "bottomline" will almost certainly once again be, "Nice little run, boyz...Now: Let's turn to Spring Camp...

    Piling On

    I agree completely--in fact, to some extent I am already "THERE": I am here (and continue to hang in, THROUGH IT ALL) because I believe this site provides voice and forum to thise who remain "Gators through and through, no matter the weather..." But SPURRIER'S latest public assertions really...

    Piling On

    A whole lot of folks circling a seemingly struggling Billy Napier in what are apparently blood-filled waters of late... Though I have been feeling some of those vibes myself, I tended to be dismissive, even somewhat disgusted by Trevor Etienne's desertion--and even more his recent wholly...

    Florida Gators Coaching Staff Changes from 2023 to 2024

    So now we FINALLY begin to see our actual "hand being dealt". All we can do from here for the most part is to sit back and watch what unfolds the first month or so of ongoing machinations and their practical consequences as the season begins and we witness actual game results. Oh, there'll be...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    Oh, come ON! I am not now, not do I have a pattern of "bashing Billy Napier at every opportunity". I'm not even BLAMING him here. If I am "blaming" anyone or anything, it is a modern world and system where one's word and/or commitment means so little now. This one hit us hard--especialy it's...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    How can it NOT be at least PARTLY "about Billy Napier, Gator football, or a contract"??? I know what you're saying here, E--, I FOLLOW your reasoning and it's "distancing from blame and/or emotionalism"--but it is SOMEHOW connected, and it IS going to affect us in its timing as far as ehat's...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    Still: It is somewhat similar to what is becoming all too common place among PLAYERS--And ALL emblematic of how little one's word, honor or the value of a personal commitment MEANS nowadays. The timing here absolutely SUCKS for Napier and the program. Along with the offensive questions, the...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    @Escambia94, Not sure if this is really the appropriate place for this, but it's the main thing on my mind and does fit (in an ironic, "bigger picture" sort of way): What do you make of this sudden "boomerang move" of our new Strength and Conditioning Coach almost immediately away and over to...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    Yes--We have BEEN through the wretched realization that just a proper handling of business properly in thise three cases would have turned three, COUNT 'EM, THREE losses into WINS and reversed a losing season into a winning one. Now there IS no room for such foolishness. Indeed, the only way I...

    Discussion: 2025 Recruiting

    I give you enormous props for "soldiering on" in the face of all the situational negatives that have been acceleratingly piling up in our faces as we approach what seems a deepening challenge in the 2024 schedule, E--. So I will for the moment refrain from what is getting to be my gut-level...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    To be clear, of course: My "LIKE" is for my complete agreement with Escambia's above post (as opposed to the horrible situation that college football generally, Florida football in particular, and BILLY Napier in COMPLETE, ABJECT PARTICULARLY "BAD TIMING" indeed finds himself stuck in). In...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    Personally, I'm afraid you are right. Given everything, I'd prefer to see him given at least 2 or 3 more seasons AFTER the coming ill-timed KILLER of a schedule to properly "turn it around" in G-ville--but for all the reasons you mention, imply, and more, I just don't see the realities of our...

    Projected Depth Chart 2024

    With all that has ensued here at the "tail end" of the signing period, portal access and all the rest, I simply cannot pierce the fog of confusion and contradiction that has risen around and through this whole scenario...Given MY effective blindness now in this regard, I ask you all: "Where do...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    With a flurry of late pick-ups, retentions, flips and last-minute changes, our once "Top-3", sunk-to-"#15", and generally "WHO KNOWS??!" class, as of this morning, Feb. 2, ESPN has the difficult-to-quantify 2024 UF recruiting class now ranked "back in the Top 10" once more. I am not sure what...

    Discussion: 2025 Recruiting

    After what happened with our 2024 "elite recruiting class", I find it hard to get very jazzed about our theoretical early progress for 2025. Everything now rests on what the net result of all of that previous struggle actually is able to accomplish against the acknowledged steep challenge that...

    Gators Online interview with Scott Stricklin

    I decided about half way through the above that I wasn't going to even TRY to respond to it "point-by-point": It is already way too detailed, well-researched and well-considered to even BEGIN to dissect in that manner... Anyway, I found myself retroactively agreeing with it, and in turn...
