Here we go. Already in a 3rd down situation here.
They are NOT protecting DJ well so far.
I don't like it...bad sign: That Tulane defense is ready to play.
CRAP! Onlyv10 men on the field for the punt--had to waste a time out already. Back to szne old dumb ass shit that a proper OC would help cure!
Well, the above has got to be a relatively fresh take on this matchup, as compared with just about every other one out there online, on TV and radio leading up to this one.
However, perhaps its most relevant point is probably the warning summation with which it ends!
As it turns out, we pretty...
Of course, the other way to look at all this is to recognize that UF HAS managed so far to retain the BEST of its current fairly talent-rich core:
Sure, we have lost what could have been some real depth had a few guys stayed put (especially the two Edge players), but I can see that.we have NOT...
This isn't necessarily the "Gameday Thread"--Escamia94 will have something to say about that, whether he starts a proper one or simply alters the title of this one.
My main reason for even posting this is to note my growing sense that our "end-of-season/burst-of-hope" may be short-lived--indeed...
Monday, Dec 16...
Now comes w I rd that Pyburn indeed has committed through the transfer portal to LSU.
In other words, either they actually met his rather huge (even OVERBLOWN) reported demands in terms of guaranteed financial and playing time, or this reported "lifelong Gator fan" whom we...
Not sure his stats made him a notable "standout" in any other way tyecway this strange season I n played out--but he was DEFINITELY an "All American", and I'm glad he was recognized in this way.
(Continued--later Sunday...)
Well, the more this goes on, the less confident I am in any real longterm positive change being reflected in the 2025 Napier-coached Gators after all:
Either this staff gets busy at some kind of still-unrevealed "portal plan" PRONTO, or all our end-of-season...
Aside from Pyburn, of whom thus far it seems the more we hear the LESS clear his actions appear to be (ar least there, Billy seems to have done his best to leave the door open for our once-"project"-edge to return), for the most part it sure appears that despite hints, promises and protestations...
...Anyway, even WITH our whiffing on those two 5-star kids (Dallas and Solomon--where it at least LOOKS as if Dallas played us in order to pump another 100gs outta Phil Knight and Oregon, while Solomon simply changed his mind last-minute, surprising even his own family), why do I get the feeling...
...This HAS to LEAD to something, though:
IT HAS TO TAKE US SOMEWHERE.
I believe we have GOT to see at least 9 or 10 wins AND a Top 5 recruiting class in 2025.
No more guessing, no more pussy-footing around.
No more "Proof of CONCEPT"...Time to prove it in the only two ways that really matter...
Latest buzz has us (AGAIN!) playing Michigan New Year's Eve in the "ReliaQuest--" (formerly "The Outback--") Bowl against Syracuse...a matchup (debateably) "highest profile" among the various possibilities open to BOTH institutions, I suppose--though hardly an exciting prospect for Gator Fans...
Summation:
Still much work to do.
Enjoy the moment, BUT...
Jury STILL out on Coach Billy:
He MUST tighten up/raise his game, raise his TEAM'S game, both on- (play-calling) AND OFF- (high-end talent acquisition) the-field.
Some flashes of each there at the end of the season's scheduled games--but...
