    Top Florida Gators of All Time

    Greatest Gators 81-90 This grouping includes increasingly obscure Gators, including some who would make great trivia subjects. Wayne Peace is the first Gator QB that I followed. I am a distant relative of Red Bethea. Dale Van Sickel was the first-ever Gator All-American and, later, a noted...

    Top Florida Gators of All Time

    Greatest Gators 71-80 Some of these Gators will be rather obscure, which is why I created the weighting matrix in the manner explained at the top of this thread. Many of the lists of top Gators put too much emphasis on national championships. Note that when championships are included in the...

    Top Florida Gators of All Time

    Greatest Gators 11-20 The next ten Gators include five Gators who might be enshrined into the University of Florida Athletics Hall of Fame in the future. Some of these names may have been overlooked because they played before Florida became a major football power. 11 Lomas Brown Jr. 1981–84...

    Piling On

    At this point I will say that Billy Napier and the administration have fixed most of the issues off the field. Napier and the coaching staff need to do some magic on the field. Win 6 or more games to win over the rich donors. We poor people do not matter. Complaining gets you nowhere. NIL gets...

    Who Can Tell?

    Gator media and fans made this mess themselves by being impatient. It took UF 90 years of going through football coaches before the program won a national championship with Steve Spurrier—and we were lucky to get him as a former Heisman winner who played a little bit of NFL football with some...
