    Spring Ball

    It's a strange lull. I mean, Spring practice is in session for football, there appears to be much to feel optimistic, even excited about--but there seems to be a kind of hesitation, a reticence to really commit, at least so far. Maybe it is all the conflicting "static" out there, talk of who...

    Uh Oh--ANOTHER BAD SIGN

    I'm afraid this latest sudden loss (relatively late in the inter-season too) of DBs Coach Will Harris (to the Mismi Hurricanes, of all teams!) may well turn out to be a crucially bad one--and at the worst possible time. (For all the details and potential repercussians, check out last night's...

    Urban Meyer College Football Hall of Fame Induction 2025

    When interested, he was/is one of the very best. I was pissed at him for various reasons for quite some time, but that fades over time. Well, I'm getting over it, anyway.

    Good luck to the Gators in Super Bowl LIX!

    Don't know how meaningful it is, but it is at least interesting to note at what positions we contributed talent to this past season's two most powerful and successful pro squads...the O-line and the defensive secondary.

    Summary of the 2024-2025 Football Season

    Like most longtime/LONGTERM Gator fans, I"m not sure HOW to feel about the present OR the future now: I see reason for HOPE, and sure as hell wanna seize it--but at the same time am not sure how solid a foundation has truly been established for it. Many of the "required boxes" have been checked...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    It is late January, the CFB Playoff games have been played--the 2024 season is OVER, and two things have failed to materialize for the Florida Gators: They have NOT made those "quick" and dramatically "aggressive" moves in the transfer portal that they publicly (and quite widely) implied was...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    Sure don’t LOOK like a new OC is on tap, but regardless of “appearances” I will go out on that long limb (or gangplank??!) and nonetheless risk my rep and say that even so, with our talent and a general across-the-board continued rise in total team COHESIAN, this program WILL make the playoffs...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    What pretty well ALL of Gator Nation knows at this point is that the talent now embodied in pretty well all phases of our onfield squads (Offense, Defense, and Special Teams) is pretty damn solid: Healthy and assuming their continued development as a balanced TEAM, this will be a formidable and...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    However, now comes news that our somewhat "out-of-the-blue" recent good fortune in getting a starting-quality QB to sign with us out of the transfer portal (the kid out of Charlotte) has now belatedly backed out of that signing: Word is he has meanwhile been constantly wooed (otherwise known as...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    I'm inclined to agree...but I understand the deep hope and yearning for signs that at least these are being considered--especially as such "rumors" apply to the addition of a proper OC, and now, with the talk of a kind of imposed Salary Cap, word of new positions to design and fund a proper sort...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    ...NOW comes word that somehow recently Will MUSCHAMP quietly inquired as to the possibility of him being considered for the about-to-be-open Gator Defensive Coordinatior job--that THIS was the "bombshell hire" Zack Abolverdi hinted might be "in the works" when he was on Hightop a week or so...

    Candidates for the Florida Gators General Manager Position

    I guess most of the above names stir discussion and promote interest; the overall impression is generally encouraging--we appear to be serious about all this, if we could only figure out exactly what all "this" IS. First, I'm not even sure what a "GM" DOES in the context of today's college...

    Happy New Year, Gator Nation!

    @Escambia94, Yes! ...But will all 3 happen? #1 alone brings desperate hope. Then #2 puts us within realistic striking distance ...and #3 in its turn sets us on what I can only envision and describe as "the destiny we've all been waiting on". The Bottom Line: This can HAPPEN. Our Coach has...

    Happy New Year, Gator Nation!

    And it really could BE just that--a "Happy New Year" for Gator Nation! We are so CLOSE. Most of the essential pieces appear to be in place--and I believe we will fill the few needs that arguably still may need addressing (eg. Offensive tackle, defensive depth)... But of course there remains...

    Merry Christmas, Gator Nation!

    The days keep peeling off the calendar now, "like sands thru the hour glass..." etc blah blah blah... And the longer this goes on, the seemingly quicker we rush towards the new year...and for me at least that newfound "Hope" now dwindles. Maybe I'm just a "typical Gator fan" at this point, but...
