would be a huge win

 

[CaliZona_Gator]

we really need to win this one to solidify our dominating presence in the SEC and the nation

Vanderbilt looks like they don't even want to be here. Would not be suprised to see Kevin Stallings get T'd up out of this game just so he doesn't have to sit through this.

The last time I checked on ESPN we were up 38-18. It sounds like the guys are playing great! I hope they keep it up!

 

[FloridaGatorforLife]

46-31 at the half. Looks like Vanderbilt cut into the lead a little bit. I hope the guys can pull it out!

86-64 UF!

What a great game for the Gators. I never expected to score as much as we did against Vanderbilt. We should be moved into the top 20 this week. We were already in the top 25 or so. Maybe one more week of wins is needed, but this team is really coming together nicely. Go Gators!

I was down in the Rowdy Reptiles for this game, and wow what an amazing performance. This is by far the best they have looked this season. This team is really coming together.

 

[flgatorgirl]

That was a great game. I'm gaining more and more confidence in this team each week.

Dang, I forgot that the game was on!!!:mad0235:

Glad they won, tho!!!

Considering the fact that we lost to fsu and ohio state, today was a must win as far as credibility. And we came through big time by beating the #13 team by 22 points! Now that we'll at least split with Vandy, if we split against Tenn, that would make a very convincing case for the NCAA tournament.
