    OGT 2023 Week 4: Charlotte at #25 Florida (9/23/2023)

    Speaking of "not beating themselves", I am watching Kentucky on the road at Vandy as sort of a scouting exercise on BOTH squads--and so far it has really BEEN a matter of the Commodores "beating themselves" up til now. I mean, UK clearly looks the better team: Certainly Vanderbilt can't afford...

    OGT 2023 Week 4: Charlotte at #25 Florida (9/23/2023)

    ...AND we can pretty well COUNT ON it ALL to be noted and picked apart in EXCRUTIATING DETAIL by "the usual suspects" in the media...even IF the final score is ultimately the expected lopsided one (God help us if it is NOT!). Yes: Just as in retrospect the FIRST GAME was prefaced by a number...

    OGT 2023 Week 4: Charlotte at #25 Florida (9/23/2023)

    Friday night: So. This one ain't about "beating the 49ers"--at least it damn well better NOT be. It really shouldn't be about the opponents for this one at all. The reason Billy voiced unhappiness with our apparent "practice ethic", the players' generally lackadaisical, confidently relaxed...

    Are We All Just Blind???

    I just don't know. Just don't GET it. I was clicking around on Sling and (though lately I go out of my way to AVOID the "Paul Finebaum" show) this time I inadvertently hit that particular "screen-offering"--and found myself witnessing some guest, someone named "Vick" I neither recognize nor care...

    Kirk Herbstreit's Top Performing Coaches of Week 3: Billy Napier

    Of course agree with pretty well all of your points above...I too STILL think an OC (one who is a mix of "protégé" AND "creative independent thinker", who can function in both "backup-onfield-support" and "point/counterpoint" modes) would be a wise addition by next season. I doubt you mean to...

    OGT 2023 Week 4: Charlotte at #25 Florida (9/23/2023)

    Troubling word from team sources so far is that Coaches are NOT real happy with the players' response thus far: Coach Napier himself noted at Tuesday's post-practice presser that he wasn't especially happy nor particularly impressed with the team's first full day back, preparing for Charlotte...

    SEC Player of the Week: Jordan Castell

    ...And this kid isn't the END of the talent already getting reps and beginning to emerge. Coupla more top-5-or-BETTER recruiting classes and we'll be ROLLING. Don't wanna jinx us, so I'll just leave it there. But y'all KNOW where I'm going here.

    Doak Walker National Running Back of the Week: Trevor Etienne

    How could he NOT be??! Keeps this up, gonna run AWAY with it...Hell, he COULD even end up in the Heisman discussion. (I know, I know...They don't seem to seriously CONSIDER RBs anymore...But if he keeps that kind of breakout performance up throughout the season he may at least be mentioned. Come...

    Kirk Herbstreit's Top Performing Teams of Week 3: Florida Gators

    Glad Herbie's back on board, "fairness as a broadcaster" concepts now having been satisfied by events enough for him to show us some love once more.

    Kirk Herbstreit's Top Performing Coaches of Week 3: Billy Napier

    One "sour note" in all this, coming (OF COURSE!) from Paul Finebaum's show a little while ago... I honestly didn't MEAN to be even tuning IN to him--certainly NOT to hear him try to rationalize, or simply IGNORE his previous drivel on this matter. But I was in a local "beer'n'burger" sports bar...

    OGT 2023 Week 4: Charlotte at #25 Florida (9/23/2023)

    I want to see us play a good, clean game. E-'s projection sounds satisfactory: Hit the 30s (preferably by the 2nd quarter), shut them out for most of that first half, substitute freely (though that could involve getting the 3 "suspended for the 1st half" guys (courtesy of the TENNESSEE...

    Week 3 Reactions: Gators Won’t Back Down Against Tennessee

    ...One more thing (and this may well end up belonging on another thread that doesn't yet exist--and WON'T unless/until a SLEW of complaints pour in concerning the SEC's aftergame levying of punishments for that frankly overblown near-brawl post-kneeldown at game's end): Personally, I just don't...

    Week 3 Reactions: Gators Won’t Back Down Against Tennessee

    Just watched the replay... First five minutes or so: Some of the ways a talent-laden Florida squad finds ways to beat ITSELF...Here, it was mainly that woeful kicking game (and special teams in general) that continues to be a glaring "missing piece". Rest of first half: When Gators DON'T screw...

    Week 3: SEC and Top 25 Predictions and Scores

    Nicely DONE, E-- . (Hope you put a "coupla bob" on those teams?)

    OGT 2023 Week 3: #11 Tennessee 16, Florida 29 (9/16/2023)

    Still some things to work on, obviously... The Kicking Game, Special TEAMS in general continues to sputter. All those coaches not exactly showing positive results so far (a la Escambia notes on extensive behind-the-scenes coaching additions--maybe a couple less of THEM and a few additional...

    OGT 2023 Week 3: #11 Tennessee 16, Florida 29 (9/16/2023)

    Agreed all around: Even Billy himself voluntarily granted that he "probably got a little too conservative in the 2nd half"...That seemed pretty obvious--Some of that seemed as much the result of our getting pretty banged up, accumulating a growing collection of productive playmakers forced to...

    OGT 2023 Week 3: #11 Tennessee 16, Florida 29 (9/16/2023)

    So: (1) Consensus out there is that Josh Heuppel is and was a CLASSLESS FOOL in not only CALLING that meaningless. USELESS time out with a few seconds left, but in seemingly intending to see our QB hit one more time--poor sportsmanship and a stupid risk for all involved... NOT just for Mertz...

    OGT 2023 Week 3: #11 Tennessee 16, Florida 29 (9/16/2023)

    @Escambia94, It is early, true, but aside from being told "it is a collarbone injury", I have been able to find out its seriousness or any further details on Eugene Wilson III's injury, or how long it will likely keep him out. Mertz banged up his left hand, which was wrapped and gloved fir...

    OGT 2023 Week 3: #11 Tennessee 16, Florida 29 (9/16/2023)

    Yeah--what was he THINKING? CLASSLESS, dumbass move.

    OGT 2023 Week 3: #11 Tennessee 16, Florida 29 (9/16/2023)

    My mind now IMMEDIATELY turns to the injuries; We have Charlotte next so a couple of weeks to heal, but then we go to Lexington--where we could WIN with a healthy line up, but at this point WHO KNOWS?
