    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    It is late January, the CFB Playoff games have been played--the 2024 season is OVER, and two things have failed to materialize for the Florida Gators: They have NOT made those "quick" and dramatically "aggressive" moves in the transfer portal that they publicly (and quite widely) implied was...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    Sure don’t LOOK like a new OC is on tap, but regardless of “appearances” I will go out on that long limb (or gangplank??!) and nonetheless risk my rep and say that even so, with our talent and a general across-the-board continued rise in total team COHESIAN, this program WILL make the playoffs...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    What pretty well ALL of Gator Nation knows at this point is that the talent now embodied in pretty well all phases of our onfield squads (Offense, Defense, and Special Teams) is pretty damn solid: Healthy and assuming their continued development as a balanced TEAM, this will be a formidable and...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    However, now comes news that our somewhat "out-of-the-blue" recent good fortune in getting a starting-quality QB to sign with us out of the transfer portal (the kid out of Charlotte) has now belatedly backed out of that signing: Word is he has meanwhile been constantly wooed (otherwise known as...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    I'm inclined to agree...but I understand the deep hope and yearning for signs that at least these are being considered--especially as such "rumors" apply to the addition of a proper OC, and now, with the talk of a kind of imposed Salary Cap, word of new positions to design and fund a proper sort...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    ...NOW comes word that somehow recently Will MUSCHAMP quietly inquired as to the possibility of him being considered for the about-to-be-open Gator Defensive Coordinatior job--that THIS was the "bombshell hire" Zack Abolverdi hinted might be "in the works" when he was on Hightop a week or so...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    I guess most of the above names stir discussion and promote interest; the overall impression is generally encouraging--we appear to be serious about all this, if we could only figure out exactly what all "this" IS. First, I'm not even sure what a "GM" DOES in the context of today's college...

    Happy New Year, Gator Nation!

    @Escambia94, Yes! ...But will all 3 happen? #1 alone brings desperate hope. Then #2 puts us within realistic striking distance ...and #3 in its turn sets us on what I can only envision and describe as "the destiny we've all been waiting on". The Bottom Line: This can HAPPEN. Our Coach has...

    Happy New Year, Gator Nation!

    And it really could BE just that--a "Happy New Year" for Gator Nation! We are so CLOSE. Most of the essential pieces appear to be in place--and I believe we will fill the few needs that arguably still may need addressing (eg. Offensive tackle, defensive depth)... But of course there remains...

    Merry Christmas, Gator Nation!

    The days keep peeling off the calendar now, "like sands thru the hour glass..." etc blah blah blah... And the longer this goes on, the seemingly quicker we rush towards the new year...and for me at least that newfound "Hope" now dwindles. Maybe I'm just a "typical Gator fan" at this point, but...

    Merry Christmas, Gator Nation!

    ...and SO far, notably NOTHING--except perhaps the growing, gnawing feeling that it must mean that it is all fizzling once again. One of this season's prevailing lessons has to have been about PATIENCE, I tell myself--and yet we can be forgiven I think for a certain amount of deeply...

    Merry Christmas, Gator Nation!

    Totally took the day OFF--even from (most) Gator stuff, at least up til now, with less than an hour left before midnight... BUT: I admit to a large (if under quiet control) growing excitement regarding a by-now fairly widespread rumor of some major news on the administrative horizon that may be...

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    "YES, BUT..." (There is ALWAYS a " Yes, but...", isn't there?) In this case I commend your attention to today's article (December 23, 2024) on GATOR COUNTRY by David Wunderlich entitled, "There has never been a better time for Billy Napier to hire an offensive play caller" (long title but...

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    They wouldn't even BE in this position to score if it weren't for late penalties and mistakes...but they do finally score. And they kick away, let Billy and Co. run out the clock. Content to break the SHUTOUT AND score the 2-pointer, they seem actually OK with that. Meanwhile, WE have our win...

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    And we get another late TD--and it's the Governor's son! Running behind the 3rd string O-line! But NOW we are in danger of giving up the shut out.

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    These announcers are really playing up the whole "Big Fella Runs The Ball" thing...While I see the fun in what is otherwise a done deal as far as the outcome is concerned, let's give it a rest, guys. What I'd REALLY like to see is us somehow getting more work on redzone offense here. We have...

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    LOL! A Lagway miss of the snap on 4th and short turns into a TOUCHDOWN! THAT'S what we have to do to SCORE here today???

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    I have NEVER seen a Gator offense do so little on the scoreboard with so MUCH on the stats! It is just ridiculous--Stat-wise, and time-of-possession!-wise, we OUGHT TO BE AHEAD SOMETHING LIKE 45-0! As it is. I think we will go for at least one more drive here, get tge score a BIT more...

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    They are DETERMINED to at least SCORE here now. Which SHOUKD be meaningless, but due to all the fiekdgiaks, is NOT. A touchdown puts them back IN this, theoretically.

    OGT 2024: Gasparilla Bowl - Florida Gators vs Tulane Green Wave

    End of 3rd quarter. Still need another TD to put thus one away...And maybe a COUPKE more to look good on the scoreboard. Livingstone looking VERY good here today. Damn! DJ misses the open Dike in the endzone. Right play, perfectly run--and our freshman QB misses an EASY one. Another TD coming...
