    The Next Coach of the Florida Gators will be...

    Yes, "winning out" on THIS schedule would indeed "SIMPLIFY" things FOR one and ALL, no? Well, everyone but our erstwhile "front office" (and probably all those "media experts/prognosticators" out there too...). Even I would by that point have had to completely RE-evaluate all my hand-wringing...

    OGT 2024 Week 10: World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party

    I went to this game 5 consecutive seasons' (from Doug Dickey through Charley Pell), including the heartbreak of "RUN LINDSAY RUN!!!" to lose at the end of a game we were (somewhat unexpectantly) about to WIN. Fortunately, I and all my friends had started drinking (etc) before even getting on the...

    @Escambia94, LOL...Every now and then you manage to somehow fill a totally bummed-out situation with HILARITY, E--! This is one of those times. I mean, the above is a selection of possible pending specific sequences all put together, tied neatly and presented as a somehow "sensible package". Of...

    The Next Coach of the Florida Gators will be...

    Heading into the bye week, Ali Peak makes a STARTLINGLY straightforward point regarding our Coaching carousel: "Remember, we basically traded in a 'solid playcaller' (Dan Mullen) for a 'solid recruiter' (Billy Napier). Our 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked FIFTY-FIRST!!!" She does go on...

    @Escambia94, (1) I TOO have lately found myself recalling the situation (and my attitude towards it at the time, when I admittedly had little awareness of Billy on MY "radar" until being filled in by various folks "close to thd program"--and came AROUND to the idea), and the only reason find...

    OGT 2024: Week 9 Bye Week

    "IF ONLY..." Even WITH those two early bad performances against "Da Ew..." and TAMU (early LOSSES that could have been absorbed I suppose looking back, except for our depressing sleep-walk through the early going in BOTH, leaving us NOTHING by the time we seemingly finally awakened in each...

    The Next Coach of the Florida Gators will be...

    A bit overwhelming--but your usual exhaustive work, E--. The only thing missing is your actual "PERSONAL recommendations"... I know that is intentional, but are we not at least closing IN on maybe a handful of "preferences"? Just to be fair, I will go first here: (1) I still haven't seen...

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    BUT... With just 2 more wins from among the rest of what's ahead (just 2 out of 5 games: Say, AT FSU and one other--albeit all ranked opponents but at least a couple of them now seemingly within the realm of "doable" by this steadily-improving Gator squad, especially the contests coming in the...

    The Next Coach of the Florida Gators will be...

    OK...I admit to a real gut-level grudge against offering that kind of back-end "reward for failure" in a contract--whomever offered it. So let's put THAT part of the above aside... Saturday's eventual beat down of UK is NOT to be mistaken for Billy turning any kind of CORNER here. First of all...

    The Next Coach of the Florida Gators will be...

    I understand your thinking by now, E--... But here's the problem: By all I am hearing behind the scenes, despite his humble outer facade, Billy is COMPLETELY CONVINCED THAT HE IS THE SMARTEST GUY IN THE ROOM. THAT is why he refuses to hire an OC, and word is that no one around hIm believes he...

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    Yes. He really IS special--the best we've had here in a long while, and we have HAD some good ones in the meantime. We can WIN some shootouts with this kid... But the thing is, can Billy learn to USE that? I doubt it: Coach turns out to be the EPITOME of "SCARED MONEY", so we won't likely MAKE a...

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    Well, we DID manage to step up on Defense a couple of times in the 4th quarter... BOTH Offense AND Defense MORE than held their own...The PLAYERS on those squads...NOT the Coach. Even the Special Teams, except fir that one kick off late in the 2nd, the one Kick where he DIDN'T send it to the...

    Cormani??! PICK-6! WELCOME TO THE FIELD! Welcome to the GATORS, dude.

    DJ hits another one! NOW PUT IT AWAY, Gators.

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    We got the better QB by FAR! So the D gets a break. It'll be ALL "Boring Billy Bad Ball" from here. I just HATE that the man thinks this is "smart". It probably IS--back at HIS level.

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    PLEASE, guys. Come upwith a play.

    BuT we are NOT STOPPING THEM THIS TIME.

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    It won't be pretty, but if the D can just somehow suck it up ONE MORE TIME, maybe we can wiggle out of our seeming doom.

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    We had EVERY CHANCE to put this away--AGAIN!--and this fool just doesn't GET IT, So WE SUFFER.

    OGT 2024 Week 8: Florida Gators vs Kentucky Wildcats

    I absolutely HATE that he has come out here and called another ""SCARED MONEY" game. He finally has a defense, so he puts it ALL ON THEM!
