    Piling On

    A whole lot of folks circling a seemingly struggling Billy Napier in what are apparently blood-filled waters of late... Though I have been feeling some of those vibes myself, I tended to be dismissive, even somewhat disgusted by Trevor Etienne's desertion--and even more his recent wholly...

    Losing Faith

    Do I really need to elsborate??? I mean, am I alone here in tiring of "trying to see the bright side"? To be frank, with the recent talk of our AD being wooed by A&M, I actually found myself kind of hoping he might TAKE the job! I mean, LOOK: Say we lose 7 or 8 games in '24 (which could EASILY...

    Regarding Strength & Conditioning

    I STRONGLY recommend you all watch Ali Peek's latest Podcast, the one where she focuses specifically on some diplomatic but revealing "parting shots" that Princely U. takes upon leaving UF--and not simply commenting on them, but using it ALL as a springboard to a general analysis of "what went...

    Latest Silliness?

    No one here on our more "level-headed site" seems especially interested in the some of the strident declarations being slung against various walls out there, but the most notable stuff is worth noting here, especially when it involves our program. For example, ESPN is suddenly pushing THIS idea...

    "BOTTOMLINE II": Current state of college football

    Another stab at summing up the state of our program now at UF: Though I have lately come to generally eschew all those podcasts I used to follow, I DID somehow get snagged into clicking on Buddy & son's Friday show on YouTube, featuring (once more) this time another visit ftom Urban Meyer--and...

    Bye fer Now

    @Leakfan12, @Escambia94, No one responding (besides ME) on the heels of our loss over on the "...VS FSU gameday" thread, so I thought I'd set this one apart: I am SO "frustrated and disappointed" AGAIN (THAT is getting to be a weekly refrain, damnit!), and I just wanted to say goodbye to...

    Discussion: Florida Gators 2024 Recruiting

    GROAN!!! Now comes word that on the heels of the Mack flip, 5-star commit Xavier Filsaime has also now scheduled a visit to his homestate's powerhouse, Texas. This once so promising a class is in process of being EVISCERATED. If Billy cannot stop the bleeding AND somehow shore up a decent...

    Here We Come: 2024 recruiting

    As this next recruiting class further develops into some kind of "HAUL", I cannot ignore the inescapable truth that "THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE, my friends..." We have already seen how good this Coaxh is at recognizing not just "TALENT", but of the variety that he in particular is searching...

    Week 8: Top 25 Schedule and Predictions

    Yes--This is the last Saturday that we face someone we can be favored to BEAT: OURSELVES. After this, it is hard to pick out a favorable match-up on our remaining schedule. Maybe Arkansas--our one last home game. Missouri has a decent season going, more consistent than our performance thus far...

    FUN is BACK!

    Maybe not for good--not yet, anyway... But for the last coupla minutes last night in Columbia (after a mainly EXCRUCIATING 58 minutes preceding it) we got to recall what an absolute BLAST Saturday night in the SEC can BE!!! And yes; This time all that stuff Billy had to say about "this team"...

    Looking Forward, Looking Back

    Growing up in Florida in the 60s, I naturally became a rabid Gators fan in the days of SS, his Heisman years--and was thus for that brief time unaware of our historical reputation as "the Sleeping Giant"; In a family where the men were football junkies this of course meant certain things... Each...

    MORE Bad News

    Sigh... With all the talented names now appearing on the "injured"-list, plus a few more called "questionable", with "nagging injuries", that now hint at some underlying reasons for other ongoing difficulties (not to mention recent until-now unexplained play-calling issues), we find ourselves...

    Sorry, Billy

    I really LIKE Billy Napier, and I really want to see him do well as Coach of the Florida Gator Football Team...I think he could still pull that off as our program's "CEO"... HOWEVER: I just watched ALL FIVE GAMES (albeit with my thumb on ff between plays), and each of our Coach's postgame...

    A Bad Feeling... (Rumor Thread)

    I can't ignore it any longer...this feeling of impending doom. I want it to be some emotional exaggeration, borne of disappointment and frustration--the usual thing after a bad loss. But instead of fading, it is there, growing stronger each day. By now it is almost overpowering, like "waiting...

    Week 5: Early "Midterm"

    That's how I see this Kentucky game: We go back out on the road for our 2nd road test, against a fairly strong and rising unit whose Coach has had them generally playing disciplined football last few seasons--playing well enough to beat US, at any rate. WE have obviously been "up'n'down" ("down...

    Week 4: Top 25 and SEC Scores

    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...

    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...

    MY "Breaking Point"

    OMG...We just (somewhat unexpectedly) found ours--even had it EXCEEDED. Paul Finebaum just came out with a prediction/analysis/conclusion that was either just a ridiculous "stir the pot"/"S.D.'s" ("ie."Sh*t Disturber's") ultimate bomb drop, OR an example of monumental stupidity, over-the-top...

    Onward

    Monday night....Time to turn the page, move on. Never mind the mostly relatively minor complaints with our performance in the latest game--We mostly showed progress in all the areas where we'd shown disappointing weaknesses in Game One. Not quite perfect, but encouragingly CLOSE to it, even if...

    As We Turn To CONFERENCE Play...

    We'll be turning more FULLY to all this in coming days of course, but right up top this weekend turn frankly, OPENLY to the things we mostly seemed to finally get "turned in the right direction" here at UF. Now come the tougher in-conference games we've all been secretly anticipating since...
