    Way Too Early Predictions for 2026

    A whole LOT of this kind of talk going around now: Y’ALL know how this goes, AND why it GOES this way… A new Coach and his seemingly outstandinng incoming staff. In this New Day of NIL, a “General Manager” shouldering the FINANCIAL responsibilities, a seeming actual “PLAN” in the pursuit of...

    2026 Gator “Read & Reaction” Magazine is OUT

    …Or, as newly added sponsor/participant Gator Dave Waters would put it, “…R&R 2026 is ready to ROLL!!!” I found MY copy awaiting me, lying up against my front door, upon returning home last night. Flipping through it now first thing this morn I am struck by how it immediately, both logically and...

    24 Team Playoff? Please NO!

    I don’t need to elaborate. Y’all have seen WHO’S been loudly and publicly pushing the issue, heard the passionate counter-arguments from our favorite Gator spokespeople and podcasters. For myself, this borders on something like “the final straw”: a move that, on top of the whole ongoing...

    Orange & Blue—In Progres

    Closest thing we got is on the ongoing HIGHTOP site on YouTube: They somehow have (smuggled?) a single, fixed-perspective shot of Florida Field from the press box, amounting to what I presume is a surreptitious, silent, somewhat limited means by which the rest of us can witness this 2026 edition...

    Outrageous!

    Y’all see that USA Today article featuring DJ Lagway’s supposed explanation for his trouble at UF? He was “lonely, depressed and isolated” here. Oh boo-HOO! First, that’s not what we saw, not until the 2025 season when he was throwing as many interceptions as TDs, anyway. Then there’s the fact...

    Writing on the Wall?

    Meant to post this BEFORE the game, but got hung up in traffic and arrived just in time to see “IT” coming to pass early on: Had this feeling this sometimes-LESS-than-Champion-appearing squad might be vulnerable to a 2nd round upset—especially to this kind of “scrappy slowdown style” team like...

    Whew.

    So. Despite that last quarter cold-shooting vs Kentucky followed by total fade in semifinal SEC Tournament loss to Vandy, Gators STILL retain No. 1 seed in the South for the Dance. Provided that was just a lack of interest and focus tailing off at the end of a long season, perhaps they can now...

    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?)

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

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

    Here it is. The same bad dream, beginning all over again… What do they say about repeating the same action expecting a different result each time being the definition of “insanity”? Welcome to our crazy nightmare! Another coach out of the Louisiana bush leagues is (as I type this here) being...

    What (if anything) DID We Learn?

    I will refrain from airing my own "positives and negatives" for the moment and instead ask Y'ALL what YOU saw... MY focus will be on DJ's deficiencies: He missed a BUNCH of throws or we aren't IN a "close one"--we win by at LEAST A COUPLE OF SCORES...Once agsin TERRIBLE 3rd down performance...

    The Post-Billy Forum

    Yes--here is where we take our first real steps into "a better(?) tomorrow". Elsewhere I have already posited (if somewhat belatedly) MY first candidate, controversial (not to mention somewhat time-worn) as it may be: Lane Kiffen, in all his flamboyantly opinionated, high profile...

    ANGER: Pure and Simple

    That is what I feel above all else at this point. Just abject ANGER, through and through. And its growing progressively stronger as I consider last night's game. Where was THAT Gator team, the one we saw in the Swamp last night, THROUGHOUT SEPTEMBER??! Once AGAIN, to start the season this...

    OGT 2025: Week 5 Bye Week

    Billy still our Head Coach? Then we LOSE the "Bye"'-week.

    CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE!!!

    Sorry, but I am COMPLETELY done with Billy: I don't mean merely in supporting him. I cannot LISTEN to him anymore. I cannot even listen to my favored podcasts talk ABOUT him anymore. I suppose I will, for the time being, continue to comment HERE, (MAYBE) during and (certainly AFTER) games the...
