    Biggest Busts in College Football History

    True, to some extent—but Berlin was never embraced the way Lagway was. DJ was heralded, “savior of Napier and his program” here, then so soon seemed to step up BIGTIME when his “mentor/big brother/FRIEND” Graham Mertz went down in HIS otherwise one promising Gator season—and everything that in...

    Biggest Busts in College Football History

    As for LAGWAY, this latest news of his setting up a portal interview with the FSU “(NO)braintrust” puts him in a special category… No, he is still not anywhere near the upper reaches of any “All Time Bust” List—not yet anyway—but in terms of “the ultimate bail and alienate move for the fans who...

    Transfer Portal 2025-2026

    In an even MORE “ominous pending possibility”, if you (like me) thought Lane and LSU’s potential pursuit of DJ Lagway was fraught with dark irony, this latest news takes us right into a whole new nightmare of imagined betrayal: DJ has been scheduled to a transfer portal visit and interview with...

    Happy NEW YEAR, Gators ALL!

    Yeah—except of course its having lent ammunition to all the haters out there always ready to pick up the “SEC dominance is OVER—The B1G is the superior conference now”-argument…Never mind all the continued lopsided evidence that this just isn’t SO: Top-to-bottom, the Southeastern still whacks...

    Happy NEW YEAR, Gators ALL!

    Been a rocky year, and a continued roller coaster ride for us since the season actually ENDED: The Theme? “Ups’n’Downs, wins and losses—but WHICH ARE WHICH???” It seems that question has been paramount from the moment Napier was fired, Kiffen was “all but delivered—BUT…”, the team continued its...

    Transfer Portal 2025-2026

    I don’t know about y’all, but with everything actually happening before our very eyes just with OUR team and program over the last few days (our own micro-cosmic version of the ongoing at-large disaster that is the reality of the current CFB experience), I am very rapidly becoming overwhelmed...

    Merry Christmas, Gator Nation!

    Ditto, and THANKS (as usual) for your timely and cogent comments, E—. (For me, Roundball can never quite balance (let alone ASSUAGE) this kind of decade-and-a-half-long slide by our “Long Time Coming, Long Time GONE” now Football program…but Golden & Co.’s. unexpected “reprise” indeed HAS helped...

    Transfer Portal 2025-2026

    Talk about “having a bad feeling”, THIS LATEST has me feeling one of the worst yet: News coming Christmas night/Friday morning that Lane Kiffen has contacted DJ Lagway’s reps, and that they are “now in talks”. Yeah, all that talk about wishing him well, etc—but personally, THAT PARTICULAR “fork...

    Grading Coach Sumrall’s First Gator Coaching Staff

    Overall, I greatly appreciate your generally non-“Gatorcentric”, “minus the orange-and-blue glasses”-filtered analysis here, E—. AND you’ve done the legwork for all of us: I cannot claim much background knowledge regarding most of this new staff, except in a couple of cases—and not even all that...

    Analysis of the 2025 College Football Playoff First-Round Matchup: No. 6 Ole Miss vs. No. 11 Tulane

    OMG. A burden that of course outweighs what otherwise would have been already a stressful time—and yet he continues to function with poise and a steady, unflappable drive. Thanks for sharing this, E—, and thanks all the more to our new Coach for continuing to show us (in now countless ways)...

    Analysis of the 2025 College Football Playoff First-Round Matchup: No. 6 Ole Miss vs. No. 11 Tulane

    For Gators this particular matchup has of course has gained our attention for a number of reasons. Difficult to parse where our rooting interests lie, though… Emotionally speaking, I suppose I could make the case for supporting EITHER one…the weird part comes exactly where it appears the...

    Here We Go…Gators Announce Transfer Portal Plans

    …in turn bringing us to exactly the situation THIS further post goes on to determine: Though individually NOT a particular disaster in “player-by-player” terms, already (ie.even likely still unfinished) this group’s exit, taken as a whole, represents a pretty thorough undoing of what not so long...

    Here We Go…Gators Announce Transfer Portal Plans

    Point well made…and his place in historical terms statistically does go a long way in further developing both his talent AND this larger concept of “RB replaceability”. In fact, with NIL, heading forward one can (probably MUST) apply the idea of “Money Ball” in team building—ESPECIALLY in the...

    Here We Go…Gators Announce Transfer Portal Plans

    Cannot deny the truth of that summation…BUT: In Baugh’s case, Given Coach Sumrall’s strong declaration regarding him in his introductory presser, plus the NIL money freed up with DJ’s subsequent announced intentions regarding HIS entering the portal, I assumed the new regime was making every...

    Here We Go…Gators Announce Transfer Portal Plans

    Now there’re whispers of the possible departure of Baugh… Though the common thought is that top-ranked RB’s are significantly easier to replace than skilled QBs, there have been enough differences between the actual ongoing performance and relative growth of these two for us to maybe fear the...

    Here We Go…Gators Announce Transfer Portal Plans

    Word coming out today: DJ is entering the transfer portal. A few others announcing THEIR similar plan as well—but the rest mostly pretty minor, relatively “replaceable” at their positions , maybe even with upgrades…NOTHING in the way of drama and disappointment the news about DJ Lagway’s exit...

    Coach Jon Sumrall’s Avengers

    I LIKE it! I caught where you were going here the moment I saw the title—and you RAN with it. So: We’re gonna need a new, over-the-top Strength & Conditioning guy…we don’t know who that will be yet, but maybe you can at least give him his proper place in the above “Avengers”-themed hierarchy?

    Florida Gators hire former Gator offensive lineman Phil Trautwein as offensive lineman coach

    Another STRONG HIRE for the new staff here at UF, it would appear. Things really shaping up notably well for us: I’m already looking forward with a certain excitement and optimism to the first few games. Meanwhile, as we kind of “snap out it”, awaken and begin to recover from our heavy...

    2026 Schedule

    More “typical” SEC schedule—which is to say “challenging”, but manageable—when compared to the last couple of years’ seeming “obstacle courses”… Safe to say, no excuses for us not at least IMPROVING on recent outcomes under former Coach (and regime’s) leadership.

    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...
