    OGT 2025 - Week 11: Florida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats

    The part of all this that continues to baffle us has been the regression of DJ Lagway, ESPECIALLY in the very area he most impressed one and all as a (banged UP) freshman LAST season: finding and THROWING the LONG pass TO the right guy. He’s repeatedly failed to do either as a sophomore: We’ve...

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    …but make no mistake: Seldom have I EVER so LONGED to BE WRONG!!!

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    Though admittedly fond of the burst of “alternate candidates” included at the very end above, here is my “unfortunate intuitive final-take”, as the sad Parade marches on: Please note and understand that among a host of aforementioned “Things I Hope I’m Wrong About”, I further preface the...

    OGT 2025 - Week 11: Florida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats

    Well, that news (re the apparent "starting receiver line up") certainly returns that "puncher's chance" to our truncated arsenal!--and this against a UK squad more in line with "early-" rather than "late-Stoops-led" teams... Can THIS DJ get the ball to them is the big Q. We USED to beat such...

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    Yes...and in THAT light only ADDS to the larger certainty that "something has been lost..." However, above I am speaking more about how it feels specifically as a Gator fan, specifically here and NOW: While the loss of relevance, excitement, meaning and importance of everything OUTSIDE the CFP...

    OGT 2025 - Week 11: Florida Gators at Kentucky Wildcats

    Yeah, that injury report is a KILLER…Now adding Tre pretty well destroys our last hope of mounting some sort of passing game (even assuming DJ keeps getting closer to a poor imitation of the guy we saw LAST season). I’m sorry, but “caring” just sets me up for another 3+ hours of that rising pain...

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    I sorta have to at least consider the point Dooley made online in his latest: My mounting ambivalence has me wondering, “How much does it really matter?” Are fans all that jazzed about making it to some crap-bowl? And from a practical point-of-view, how much of a difference do those extra...

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    I see it ALL exactly the same way, E—. Glad you specifically noted the Gator Nation podcast that breaks it all down in detail: Like us, they clearly note the imperfect but nonetheless repeatedly, stirringly mounted and determined effort to WIN, not to mention how and where things somewhat...

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    Yes, but the majority of the time THE GOOD ONES find ways of making even certain perceived “flaws” (“stubbornness” being a common and typical example) somehow work FOR them more than half the time. The rest more often FALL on that sword. (Oh—and while I have y’all’s attention here, I wanna send...

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    But NO! I too feel the pain, BUT: Hey: In my heart of HEARTS: It is STILL GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR. We WILL find our way. With or without a “That GUY”. Sooner or LATER.

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    …Right at the moment, the CHANT goes… “It’s TOUGH To Be A Florida GATOR…” YES “It’s TOUGH To Be A Florida Gator…” Repeat as needed…

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    I found it difficult to watch much of the “usual suspects” online Saturday OR Sunday, but I caught enough and now as more bleeds OVER I am more aware of the mounting reactions to how certain officiating calls in our game, in particular that last “”white-gloved NON-Incompletion” that pretty well...

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    More than “a couple more wins”, I suspect—more like “a few”, but overall I get your point and fully agree. In fact, that now possibly pending “surgery” MIGHT end up being the sole chance that DJ might eventually be “retrieved and resurrected”—because he DOES appear to have been somehow severely...

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    (Does anyone ELSE have this image in mind now of Billy Napier sitting SOMEWHERE in a deluxe suite in some exotic locale, sitting on a pile of money and SULKING AWAY??!

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    (Strange how “STUBBORNESS” has turned out to be the eventual unyielding rock upon which Coach after otherwise promising Gator Coach has foundered here. A kind of ego-ridden blindness that is somehow inevitably entangled with the very STRENGTHS that got them “ALMOST to the TOP”—Billy even thought...

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    Yeah…too true—AGAIN! Remember that character on the original SNL cast “Rosanna Danna” I think her name was? Always ended some weird wandering story-with-an-obscure-point at its very end, the listener(s) by that time thoroughly befuddled, with the NON-answer: “Well, ya know, it’s always...

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    …We’ve simply been deprived of JOY for too long here! Once a major feature of our play here under certain Head Coaches, it is best felt and recognized in a balanced team that, “When in doubt, SCORES!” SO: “When in doubt, get one of THOSE guys!”

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    Well summed. "Outside of Lane, best choice we have among those being publicly discussed". Not exactly a "Ringing Endorsement"--but there just isn't a whole lot else on the supposed "realistic public radar" as currently presented. Unless there are valuable candidates well OFF the "commonly...

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    I wasn't aware of that background "tidbit" re Lincoln...and the thing is, one large reason for the assumption that we could GET him was the current rumors concerning his desire to get out of California (and in particular USC). Is this a problematical pattern of habitual behavior on his part? I...

    Head Coaching Candidates 2025 (Here we go again!)

    I think Lincoln might need US as much as we need someone like HIM—which (by my definition) might make him a very good “fit” indeed—especially if it turns out that Lane and Sexton are dicking us around in the backchannel “discussions” (let’s face it: GAMES) we all KNOW are ongoing. No WAY we...
