    Post Season Concerns

    ...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...

    Bowl Projections 2024-2025!

    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...

    Post Season Concerns

    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...

    "YES!" to ALL THREE.

    Post Season Concerns

    With all the positives, I hesitate to broach this here and now--but then I REwatched accelerated versions of these last three momentous games, and feel that I have little choice but to point out the obvious: Billy still has a long way to go as a gameday playcaller. So many poor-concept...

    Florida Gators 2025 Recruiting Class

    Yup--the story is there. We missed out on a couple of 5-Star gets that slipped from our apparent grasp on early NSD--but (especially in how Oregon's Nike money blocked one of these literally last-moment with an outrageously high offer for Dallas that we were never given a chance to match), but...

    Florida Gators 2025 Recruiting Class

    On AND off the field, this program has so dramatically turned things around late in the season. It is as if one side has fed on the other, and vice versa! I've never seen anything quite LIKE it.

    2024 Depth Chart Changes

    No doubt about it--injurywise alone we seemed as "snakebit" as anyone in college football from the start of this season all the way through to Saturday's game in Tallahassee. No doubt about it, our somehow finding ourselves as a team and continuing to evolve through to our very "RESURGENCE" as...

    OGT 2024: Week 14 Florida Gators at FSU Seminoles

    One more thing before moving on: I cannot help but feel, especially in light of Billy's apologies and wussey-ish surrender to Norvell at mid-field postgame that there are SOME things that our Coach STILL hasn't GRASPED about being a Gator AND the general nature of these rivalry games. I hope he...

    Ranking Gator Quarterbacks by Season Passer Rating

    BUT...the "greedy father" WAS a piece-of-work, and at the time it sure seemed like "the apple didn't fall far from the tree"...I like your positive evaluation of subsequent events, and we all felt Cam had to go at the time--in fact, "GOOD RIDDANCE!" was the general sentiment as I recall--but as...

    Oh yeah--the deadly turf that git DJ injured (and saved UGA's ASS! FORGOT about that. Well, maybe we pass, go to Tampa...Longer cleats not necessarily enough...

    Ranking Gator Quarterbacks by Season Passer Rating

    @Escambia94, AND, if not for a greedy father and a stolen laptop thrown off the balcony of a Gainesville high rise, Cam Newton would have been on that list right after Tim Tebow. But it does appear at least somewhat inevitable that DJ Lagway may well one day TOP that list.

    Bowl Projections 2024-2025!

    I guess I'd most likely to see us play Syracuse in the Gator Bowl--most exciting AND highest-national-profile game, played on January 2 (and ONLY game that evening). Probably the toughest, hottest opponent at the moment--but, as I THINK most of our team will PLAY in this one, it'd be a good...

    Florida Gators 2025 Recruiting Class

    We are on the right track...For whatever it's worth, it appears that we may "land-on-our-feet" recruitingwise for 2025 after all. By all accounts the Portal may similarly help us make 2025 "the year the GATORS were COOL again" after all... But there is al larger issue, SET of issues, still...

    Post Season

    Oh, and WORD to the "Playoff Committee": Y'ALL may have your own evident (screaming) biases regarding YOUR favorite conferences and/or who YOU think will make for better matchups in primetime come January, but here in the SEC we know for CERTAIN that this Miami squad goes .500 in our league...WE...

    OGT 2024: Week 14 Florida Gators at FSU Seminoles

    Not a very good game Statistically. Even for US--especially for the offense. I have to think even Billy can transcend his self-rationalizing excuses and begin to see the need for help there. One other thing...I noticed something strange in the Doak crowd: By the 4th quarter and our finally...

    Post Season

    Healthy, I would put this Gator team up against ANYONE, and next season's team should be even better. Even as beat up as they currently are, I'd give them a decent shot on a good day of facing and beating anyone RIGHT NOW. I hope we close out successfully against whomever we play, in whatever...

    OGT 2024: Week 14 Florida Gators at FSU Seminoles

    This has gotta be the longest 14 seconds down to the 2 minute mark I have ever experienced. I mean it--even with Norvell caring all his times out, a lot has happened between us getting in the red zone with 2:16 left. AND, tgd Gatirs come up with ANOTHER FUMBLE. These announcers can be as bummed...

    OGT 2024: Week 14 Florida Gators at FSU Seminoles

    Well, we make it LOOK more "respectable" a win. Bettors were appreciative too. 31-11.
