OGT 2023 Week 6: Vanderbilt at Florida (10/7/2023)

"EVERY WEEK'S A NEW WEEK..."
--Billy Napier (post-Vandy presser)
My cue to switch off the sound.
Next week we play ANOTHER inferior team talentwise (South Carolina)--but one that's on the road: Coach hasn't showed he can get a team ready to play away from the Swamp; I THINK it's gonna be an early kickoff too...I mark it a loss, until we see something new and fresh from Billy and his staff.

The announcers credited Keon Zipperer with the Arlis Boardingham TD.

Yeah, noticed that at the time.
Boardingham had a DAY. We DO have some receivers--ones with different strengths, which complement each other.
I only wish and hope that our Coach might make it a regular part of his "gameplan"--even once we go off script!

"Painful to watch" is RIGHT...but wait until it all again gets back to piling up in LOSING efforts!
Worse times are ahead, sorry to say.
I know we all admitted to facing at best MAYBE plus or minus a game over or under .500 as our final win/loss record this season coming in, but its actual realization may well be MUCH more "painful" than anticipated--more painful than we could ever envision. WHATEVER its form, HERE IT COMES!
