    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

    I got it (last year’s), liked it—but as with everything ELSE about that 2025 Gator Season, it turned out to be “just one more thing that turned out to be illusory”!!! Not their fault, though. I did enjoy the way it filled the dog days, followed the team and highlighted all the reasons for...

    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...

    2026 College Football SP+ Rankings for Florida and Opponents

    I dunno… Maybe I’m just “drinkin’ the coolaid” again, but with what we’ve seen and heard from this staff thus far AND the rising status of the 2027 recruiting haul, I just sense a gathering “promise”, an undeniable shift in trending tone across the BOARD!

    NFL Draft 2026

    Talk about a confirmation: We were RIGHT! Billy wasn’t a bad recruiter—he and that oversized/under-talented STAFF were simply out of their depth when it came to coaching then UP! A player drafted in each round, from a squad that went 4-and-8!!! Nuff said.

    Orange and Blue Game 2026

    From the little I can glean at this point from the scattered bits and pieces actually seen, subsequent comment and descriptions from folks I trust, and the (albeit potentially misleading) stats, if there WERE an actual game next Saturday Tammel would likely be QB-1. However, overall, from what...

    Outrageous!

    And in addition to all the implied revelations about what was “REALLY happening with DJ” last season, now comes Napier’s pseudo-admission of responsibility, where in truth he passes the buck entirely. I can to a certain extent pity Lagway and in a kind of en emotional fashion “wish him well”...

    Orange & Blue—In Progres

    Having by now seen extensive professional-quality clips AND the analysis of commenters I respect, I am somewhat relieved to be able to mainly dismiss most of my earlier impressions—poor quality images, limited info available in truth even available there. Impressions of early offensive...

    Orange & Blue—In Progres

    I am frankly SORRY I searched out and FOUND this questionable piece of “unsponsored media”… At least WITHOUT it I would have gone on in what amounted to my “guarded ignorance and ongoing hard won sense of hope and positivity” that the last few months with Coach Sumrall and his new staff have...

    Orange & Blue—In Progres

    An hour-plus later: Still damn near indecipherable. Still seemingly “ALL D”, far as I can tell. Cannot tell which QB I am watching operating at any particular moment; the (apparently always BLUE-top) squad running that offense—but little change in style or effectiveness regardless. By the way...

    Florida Gators 2027 Recruiting

    “Quality, not quantity”, so far. They keep this going in steady fashion, and this will get better, SOONER, than anyone dared to project.

    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!

    Yes. One more retrospective strike against Napier & Co… And one MORE against that family and “entourage” that gave him this latest bit of dubious advice—in this case, to out of the blue now decide to publicly whine about multiple aspects of his time at UF (which mostly has to do with folks who...

    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?

    (Well, this may well be the most intensive use of our “Gator Basketball” section I’ve made in YEARS…Will likely be the LAST I bother for a few years more, if EVER AGAIN: “We” may not be operating with such high level expectations again for some time to come, mark my words—not our Roundball...

    Writing on the Wall?

    The worst part is having all the public rehashing and recriminations being blasted in headlines everywhere. That shot of Golden and 4 of his starters sitting there in abject shock and depression literally moments after leaving the “scene of the crime”, lined up in front of that by now familiar...

    Writing on the Wall?

    GEEZ—-THAT was one of the worst “Gator-chokes” I have witnessed AWAY FROM the gridiron that I can remember for some years. To come all the way back, have the 3-point lead with seconds left and free-throws on the way—and end up blowing it all and losing by ONE?!! But this one’s on young Todd...

    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...
