    OGT 2024: Week 11 Florida Gators at #5 Texas Longhorns

    Nice sack.

    OGT 2024: Week 11 Florida Gators at #5 Texas Longhorns

    Horns come out and go straight down the field. But now 3rd and 10 for them inside our redzone. I won't stick around for a beatdown--but holding them to 3 here would be a minor positive early.

    Beat Up BAD

    With Strickland's latest announcement (really one would have to say a somewhat "between-the-lines" qualified vote-of-confidence, I think)... I.mean, what NEXT??? (REALLY, I should know better than to ask THAT question in the FIRST place!)

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

    Yeah--I guess Billy is currently benefitting by the inevitable comparative reminders: He may not be dazzling the world with his play-calling acumen, but our football Coach hasn't embarrassed himself or the program's image in any way--and isn't likely to...in contrast to our so recently promising...

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

    Maybe...And maybe the boosters are playing their own version of "safest move" too--for them it's all about the money...with a significant savings automatically made in simply waitingvanother season before firing Billy; with a new estimated $20 million charge about to be incurred in 2025's...

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

    Well, they damn well better take that $12 million we save on Billy's buyout by waiting at least another season before parting ways and throwing that (and MORE) into NIL and the Transfer portal--and it is now TIME (PAST time) to FINALLY get a full time OC (or whatever you wanna call the position)...

    Beat Up BAD

    Yeah, that was bad. But hey--we still have Coach Billy... (Sorry--Couldn't help myself...)

    OGT 2024: Week 11 Florida Gators at #5 Texas Longhorns

    A very strange, even SURREAL situation, heading into Austin with so MANY of our starting PLAYMAKERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL sidelined by injury...and now our embattled Coach given the greenlight "vote-of-confidence" by his AD: "Back for 2025". How does THAT affect the team's continued drive...

    Beat Up BAD

    I don't recall ever being down so many "quarterbacks and playmakers". (But 2013 WAS especially bad, just in terms of total numbers.)

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

    @Escambia94, @Leakfan12, and ALL GATORS: WELL, it's all a moot point for the moment now (that is sort of a general "AMERICAN THEME" at the moment, wouldn't y'all say?): BILLY NAPIER WILL BE BACK FOR A 4TH SEASON. Scott Strickland JUST announced it about an hour ago. For the exact wording and...

    Beat Up BAD

    Title says it all. I mean, holy SHITE: NOW even Wilson III is out for the rest of the season--he had surgery this morning "to correct congenital deformity in his hip", according to team reports. One small piece of luck: Having appeared in just 4 games, Eugene can redshirt his 2024 season...

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

    Klieman wouldn't exactly be a "headline hire": His K State teams, while often in the upper third of CFB in ranking and statistical terms haven't dazzled either. None of which disqualifies him from consideration, after the consistent blundering we've seen from this Gator regime's various squads...

    A Nod To This Team

    So... DJ is apparently "gonna be OK"--his hamstring injury "not as significant" as first appeared, according to Coach Billy Napier...WHO, by the way, actually gave frank and open, well-reasoned responses to inevitable questions at his Monday presser. I was able to absorb his talk without rancor...

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

    Again--I commend everyone's attention to Matt Hayes' latest posting on USA TODAY NETWORK (SUNDAY 10:02 pm, Nov. 2) entitled, "Flofida Played its best game of the season...and it's still over for Billy Napier". I couldn't say it better OR more concisely.

    A Nod To This Team

    @Escambia94, @Leakfan12, (...and everyone ELSE who happens by...) For a sharply drawn, objective summary of where things are at for this Gator team and its fans, please see Matt Hayes' USA TODAY NETWORK post entitled, "Florida Played its best game...and it's still over for Billy Napier"...

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

    Meanwhile, did you listen to his post-game presser? As long as he stuck to praising the character and effort of his team I was OK... but every now and then he veered into "moral victory" territory--and that just won't DO: "Bad luck" or no, we are where we ARE now--ANY further victories are going...

    A Nod To This Team

    An inescapable nod is due this team--and yes, in this case, their Coach as well: THIS is a TEAM. They do indeed love each other and stick together no.matter WHAT. They hold themselves AND each other responsible, without pointing fingers. And, much as I hold the Coach responsible for so MANY...

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

    I am getting messages and emails from all over asking me, "Have you turned it off yet??!"...By that alone I gather we have fallen will behind late; sonexare asking ME how DJ is--as if as a well-known rabid Gator I would have extra-advanced inside word...Uh, no. I've no such advance info; I'm...

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

    (NOTE: I have turned the game off in the 3rd quarter...I have only this to add: This hole we are in continues to deepen: THAT ISN'T just "bad luck". The story may be different, but the general theme is sadly familiar: "This is what HAPPENS to bad teams." Things go from "bad" to "worse". Bad...

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

    We'll talk later, tonight or tomorrow, when we get some sort of idea of how bad DJs injury is. That, and who the next Coach will be, for the moment THESE are the only two questions I am really interested in.
