    Gators Earn All-SEC Honors

    No doubt about the talent still intact on “The Team That Billy Built (and Damn Near Ruined)”. Now, if we can just hold onto Miles and Dallas FOR SURE, and then the new “Coach & Co.” can somehow add to AND generally manage NOT to screw the whole gang up the way their predecessors did, well, maybe...

    Welcome to the Gator Nation, Jon Sumrall!

    (Not that big a deal, just worth noting in passing: That in failing to share the slightest peep in the way of even a de rigeur “Farewell, and thanks to the players for their efforts, and Gator fans for showing up strong through it ALL blah blah blah…”, Billy Napier showed little in the way of...

    Florida Gators 2026 Recruiting

    As others have noted, this is NOT a recruiting class that will yield “regular Championships” (you wanna see classes consistently dominated by 4- and 5-Star athletes, but it IS a “good one”—a GREAT one for a “transitional year” where the Head Coach who led the recruiting of most of the players on...

    Welcome to the Gator Nation, Jon Sumrall!

    Me too. (In spades.)

    Florida Gators hire Buster Faulkner as offensive coordinator

    AND (conditionally) we HAVE the mix of talented personnel with which to RUN just such an offense, the largest “condition” being the assumption that we indeed have (and KEEP) the DJ Lagway we saw about to blossom forth his true freshman year—BEFORE injury, inaction, questionable coaching (in...

    Re-evaluating the coaching search 2022

    I don’t know HOW I missed this thread back when originally posted—somehow it only popped up in the bottom (ie. my “quick go-to search for who and what to address here early in the day)…I guess I’ll be LOOKING for it—and things LIKE it—from now on! So much “back story STUFF” to potentially...

    Florida Gators hire Buster Faulkner as offensive coordinator

    At this point, on THIS thread, given what I have already said, have reflected on at LENGTH by now ELSEWHERE, it is sufficient I think to simply state my current overall feelings in summation: “I am feeling better and BETTER about this hire, no matter HOW we got here!”

    Welcome to the Gator Nation, Jon Sumrall!

    Like a lot of y’all, I am feeling better and better about how this has and IS turning out. It has been a kind of amazing “day-by-DAY” thing, too: This guy has somehow managed to introduce a couple of bigtime changes each day since his Monday intro/presser—I refer to all the UF-related stuff...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    Well, it sure seems you’ve fully flipped on MOST aspects of the various “counterpoints” regarding an undeniably ongoing set of contentious disagreements behind the scenes at “Gator Central”. While I TOO have come a large portion of the way in the same direction in recent weeks, there is still no...

    The Promised “AWAKENING”?

    I must admit, with the first couple of Coordinator hires (especially the Ga. Tech guy coming over to assume OUR OC duties!), on the heels of retaining most of “what we got” ON the field AND hard work elsewhere clearly ongoing “in the trenches” to add MORE talent in ALL phases of the game, the...

    Florida Gators 2026 Recruiting

    So far, things are going surprisingly well.

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    I have watched Gator Dave’s AND Ali Peak’s interviews with Danny Weurfel on “Gator Breakdown” and “A Peak Inside…”, was impressed, and convinced enough of the sincerity of someone that I too admire, and could not fully square his open declarations with the things I had been told by other...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    Based on everything I have SEEN MYSELF, plus the word of someone I know well who I ALSO know has access and information directly from very close to the heart of “Gator affairs”, I just do not, CAN not trust Scott Stricklin—and I STILL believe we have repeatedly seen enough discrepancies between...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    And now the torrent of horse crap begins to flow. Only fitting that the KING of Horse’s Asses, Paul Finebaum, should start things off, lead the way. As for “What REALLY happened?”, vs all the excuses and self-serving lies already bursting forth in endlessly irritating headlines functioning only...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    (Oh—and in the new reality of finding ourselves sort of HAVING to find promise and positivity SOMEWHERE, our Roundball team played Number One Duke tonight—and lost, BY ONE POINT. Not to worry TOO much: This team IS talented in its own way, and barring injuries its Coach will likely pace their...

    Florida Gators hire Brad White as Defensive Coordinator

    A solid hire…but of course we are ALL waiting on another hire entirely—at OC! (By meanwhile, looks like we just LOST one of the of our 2026 recruiting class Highly rated and much-chased RB Carson Baker just decommitted . I know the general theory/attitude out there is that running backs are...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    I am (if admittedly SLOWLY) coming around to the same question (and implied answers). However, that DOES NOT change Stricklin’s culpability in a host of transgressions and betrayals, a pattern of behavior that demonstrates a complete and ongoing disregard for his job responsibilities—not to...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    I really hope you are right about that last—of COURSE I am hoping that it’s a case of “getting to the right place by the wrong route”! But there IS an element here of “revisionist convenience” too. Even WITH the after-the-fact “whispered black marks” there are, as I have related, plenty of...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    I feel that it must be faced squarely: No matter HOW it happened, no matter who said or did what, or when they said or did it: Scott Stricklin whiffed. Worse, he INTENDED to do so. He BLEW it—AGAIN…and all of Gator Nation continues to pay for his lies and general incompetence. The underlying...

    Can’t Awake From This Nightmare (Thoughts on Jon Sumrall)

    I understand and appreciate everything you lay out there, E—, point by point…BUT: Kiffen now SAYS Florida was way out front, even after LSU jumped in—until he met with Stricklin! Similarly, a lot of folks' "alternative"/"Plan B" (including mine), Lincoln Riley's reps are now claiming THEY went...
