[Swampman]

I'll be watching tonight. Should be a good game.

Anyone else watching it?

 

[Mr2Bits]

I'll get to see the first half, but have some class I have to go to at 8:00.

 

[Ufgatorfan]

speights is weak this whole tea, with the exception of parson and nick are weak. They better hit the weight room hard in the off season and find there passion for the game or it will be another long season.

 

[IMAKESEVERALGOOD]

Umass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Leakfan12]

They better be a better team next season.

 

[Mr2Bits]

I'm not sure what to make of this team. They could be in the same boat again next year.

 

[gatorsare#1]

Hopefully they improve in the offseason.

 

[Ufgatorfan]

Hope they learn to be a team and play some freaken defense, and stop being scared to take it to the rack.
