Since beating LSU the Gators have gained the following commitments:
- QB Tramell Jones (Former FSU commit)
- DL Stephon Shivers (Former UGA commit)
- OL Daniel Pierre Louis (Former FSU commit)
Class ranking has risen from #51 to #38. Still not good enough, but it is progress.
I am not 100% sold on this turnaround, but after the collapse against Miami and Texas A&M I changed my preseason predictions from W29-21 --> L10-36. I would love to be wrong.
QB DJ Lagway named SEC Freshman of the Week.
LB Shemar James named SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
K Trey Smack named SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Week.
The Gators are 5-5 entering their final home game, which will be against the 8-2 Ole Miss Rebels. The series is tied at 12-12-1 going back to 1926. The Rebels are favored by 9.5 and the over/under is at 55.5.
Maybe Napier is turning things around. The Gators had dropped eight in a row against ranked opponents and were 1-10 under coach Billy Napier in rivalry games. Imagine how much better this team would be with a real offensive coordinator.
This feels like the Tennessee game. A good coach would have drawn up a better scheme on offense and defense.

Indiana has doubled Curt Cignetti’s salary from $4M to $8M, extended the contract 8 years, and added a buyout. The new total contract value is $64M. The assumed buyout is 85% of the remaining cost.
Here is a list of visitors for the game. Do not get too attached to any of them. Vernell Brown’s father and grandfather were Gators. Vernel I was on the 1984 Best in SEC team.
Five-star Florida WR commit Vernell Brown III (2025)
Four-star Florida EDGE commit Jalen Wiggins (2025)

Gator fans are historically faithful, at least since Charley Pell took over. I doubt 10% of the seats go empty or that boosters decrease donations 10% with another losing session. No matter what happens, this perfect storm will be over in 2024 and Napier will either win in 2025 or be fired. More...
I will just focus on the title of the thread, “Fan Strike”. The reason that will not work is that fans represent such a small portion of the total revenue. Revenue from ticket sales and merchandising generates about $26M. Boosters and NIL combined account for $35M. Even if half the fans (not in...
The Fightin' Napiers limp into week 12 at 4-5 (2-4) to face the 6-3 (3-2) Bengal Tigers in their 71st matchup in the 33-3-34 series. The Gators have not beaten LSU since 2018. No need to compare statistics because the Gators will likely be without their top QBs and RBs. LSU is favored by 4.5 and...
Think big picture. First, let the legal process run its course with Todd Golden. Innocent until proven guilty. Just like the other incidents. Now let us focus on football coach salaries and the impact to overall revenue brought in by NIL and NCAA revenue sharing. For ease of calculation I will...
Medically, Lagway should not play next week. If platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections work, then he should be available for the Ole Miss game next week. PRP injections in the NFL have cut down missed time due to grade 2 hamstring injuries from 3 games to about 1.5 games.
