    2025-2026 SEC Awards

    Getting that “Number One Seed” in the Dance is a bigger factor than I realized: Turns out #1’s hardly EVER falter early (two losses in the entire history of March Madness first round), but Cinderella-upset stories DO come out of #2 vs #15 matchups with some regularity. This ISN’T just some...

    Stating the Obvious (After the Fact)

    …Okay, I’ll go first: Since this IS filed under the heading entitled, “Stating the OBVIOUS”, let us begin with what had been for weeks, MONTHS leading up to and especially AFTER the firing of Billy Napier the one name that “everyone”—certainly most of us comprising “Gator Nation at...

    Stating the Obvious (After the Fact)

    Today’s essay question, starting with this proposed quote: “I THINK we got the right guy after all…After EVERYTHING…” Discuss.

    Spring Football: FINALLY (Signs of LIFE?)

    Am watching/listening/HEARING SUMRALL’S presser after the first Spring practice… AND…I am liking what I’m hearing. No. I am LOVING every little BIT of what I’m hearing! Not just the words; THE DIFFERENCE! The diff between this guy and Billy, sure—But no, it’s even more about the diff ‘tween him...

    Spring Football: FINALLY (Signs of LIFE?)

    I mean, I’m as sick of “talk talk talk, nuthin’ but TALK!” as much as y’all are no doubt sick of hearing/seeing/READING ME!!! I mean…It is time, Long PAST Time, we began having SOMETHING, some kind of actual physical ACTIVITY to observe/report/COMMENT ON, am I not RIGHT??! So: Here it is… 2026...

    Florida Gators now a top-10 basketball program all time

    I just can’t wait until this Gator football program reclaims ITS place among those deemed currently-ranked football squads. It just isn’t RIGHT being lumped among the “USED to be great”.

    Growth of Florida NIL

    Yup. Sad but true.

    Predictive Assessment of Jon Sumrall's Career at Florida

    This goes a long way towards clarifying what in fact actually went down. Sigh…It really IS “all about da Benjamin’s” now, I suppose.

    Predictive Assessment of Jon Sumrall's Career at Florida

    The more I read/hear and dig further into it, the more unclear it all becomes—how the Lagway “break” really happened: His own subsequent behavior and activity, along with SUMRALL’S own seemingly frank descriptions of their actual early meetings and subsequent discussions, all more and more seem...

    Growth of Florida NIL

    I am gonna have to take your word for much of this for some time to come, E—: I’m still in process of “catching up” as far as the rules (if there ARE any, at least in practical, applicable terms) and/or the actual PROCESS of building a successful ongoing balanced, talent-filled roster now—From a...

    Transfer Portal 2025-2026

    All KINDS of reasons we’d rather assume ON3 is closer to “getting it right”, obviously—some purely as Gators, some “That and more, MUCH more!”—but what I really like (and incidentally find one of the few really encouraging signs of “maybe things aren’t as totally bolluxed as we thought”) is the...

    Transfer Portal 2025-2026

    I guess this is as good a place as any to note the madness now revealing in Kiffen’s unmasking/return as “forked-tongue phony” and “Terminal Narcissist” in the latest blossoming scandal now hitting the headlines. This of course concerns what is alleged (by multiple sources inside the Ol’ Miss...

    Predictive Assessment of Jon Sumrall's Career at Florida

    This of course has got to be OUR hope as the “Sumrall at UF”-era gets fully under way—and yes, thus far, by all the early signs the growing optimism continues to reinforce itself. Things are certainly being done differently in “the transition to The Transition”! Next comes “Preparation”… After...

    College Football Playoffs 4-Team vs 12-Team Format, BCS, and Bowl Alliance

    Well, I’m not so sure about HOW the “pre-BCS” system would have played out with today’s teams—but I AM pretty certain about you being sadly right about where the current “powers-that-be” will use this year’s teams,games and outcomes to rationalize a move to a 14-team, eventually even a 16-team...

    Predictive Assessment of Jon Sumrall's Career at Florida

    Whew! I’ve gotta give all of the above some long, deep thought, along with a second (and THIRD) read-through before even considering a response. I DID note some interesting things (and PEOPLE) that were NOT mentioned above, especially in who he will likely be compared to, at least short term. I...

    The Nick Saban Coaching Tree in the 2025-26 CFP Semifinals (Cignetti vs Cristobal)

    Watching this 2nd semifinal game tonight, Indiana and Oregon at the half, Indiana ahead 35-7 and continuing to just gallop away with this one, the overwhelming message I get from not just the score but the way in which this Hoosier team consistently accomplishes this sort of outcome is how much...

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

    A continued follow-on to various earlier responses: I don’t care to go back and extensively modify various details of opinions that have evolved in the tumultuous days and weeks since the Gator Coaching changes, and all that has followed as a result. Suffice it to say that many of my own...

    Regarding The Playoffs

    Just a (somewhat frustrated and downhearted) addendum: I missed the last few moments of last night’s semifinal—I saw that Miami was going through the Ol’ Miss defense in just “THAT way” one more time, just KNEW they were going to score, almost certain it would be TD to WIN and NOT a tying field...

    Regarding The Playoffs

    Well, I guess we’re ALL IU fans now. The OTHER “feel good story” of the CFP was eliminated by a Miami last second touchdown just moments ago… I’m not going to get into any detail into how or why that happened—only that it was mainly the Ol’ Miss defense that let them down repeatedly, then...

    Transfer Portal 2025-2026

    Looks more and more like Wood might be staying a GATOR after all. Lagway appears headed for Baylor after all (he RAVED about his visit there) not so much because HE “came to his senses” but because FSU turned around and offered another guy almost soon as he left! However, another Gator RB, the...
