I thought this was a thread about the hurricane...


And yeah, UF just plan sucks. It will not shock me if Napier gets canned - this week.

This week?  I think they wait until midway into season and see what the landscape looks like in that point and time. 

I'd do it now, honestly. Get a jump on the search. The 2024 class is gonna take a beating no matter what, but they can name a coach in November before the early signing period.

Down the road at UCF is a guy named Gus.

I would enjoy watching Florida endure a 10-15 season stretch of futility and mediocrity such as we have had (may it now be over!).  During which they suffered an annual ass-whipping from us.

Unfortunately, even if that happens, it will coincide with the destruction of what we have known as College Football.

The Biden voters, in their unending quest to fuck up EVERYTHING, have succeeded in turning CFB into a half-assed NFL Lite after this season.  The SEC is becoming, not a conference, but a LEAGUE.

As someone pointed out:  "why have conferences at all?"

Indeed.  Why not three 25-30 team Leagues?

The South Everybody League (SEL); The Big 10 Blue State League; and all the Mid-Majors and whatnot?

Ugh.

And what does this do to Hoops?

UGH.

I remain grateful I wasn't born ONE MINUTE later than I was. 

Richardson, last year, was the only reason UF was in that game until the end... that and coach clown Billy played four downs every drive throwing caution to the wind.  

Richardson is gone.  That kid back there now has no protection and after the first quarter he had no faith in that O line it was obvious.  They showed some life near the end with that one receiver- other than that one receiver, they have nothing.  

....we're actually stacked at DB.  

If the game is closer than 10 in Gainesville it's because they're in UTs head... and that may be the case.  The issues UF has isn't recoverable quickly.  

That's why I say we need to win by 3 or 4 TDs.  Make a statement.  Assert ourselves.

This is not yesterday's UT.

I really like Coach Heup's MEASURED go-for-broke mentality.  And it carries over to the whole culture.  Bring the heat like crazy against Bama their last possession -- it coulda backfired, and almost did.  Dude dropped what coulda been a TD.  But it was the calculated and right thing to do.  Our secondary wasn't going to hold up unless their QB was under duress.  As we saw against USC.  Don't know what happened there but...

it's worth taking note that was an away game.  In a very hostile environment.  Against a team the Gators slaughtered.  A week earlier, I think (yes, they had AR).

So:  I'm hoping to see a well-oiled machine.  I'm hoping to see Joe throw well placed missles and in-stride 70-yard bombs.  

And blowouts our first three games...

and beyond.

Unless the rails come completely off Florida, Napier won’t be moving on this year. Take away the penalties and stupid mistakes and they would have been in the game. Utahs defensive front is as good as ours. Florida has a couple of freshmen that look good and will be better. 

Mertz threw for 333 yards, partly because they couldn’t run. He didn’t look bad. If we get pressure on Mertz, he starts playing poorly. Their offensive line is a problem, as is ours. I will be down there for the game, and hope we beat them handily, but first real away game, at night, in the swamp, isn’t an easy win. When we win, you can get to your car down there without the nonsense. When we lose, it seems to bring out the worst. 

Someone at Wikipedia put the dumbest picture possible of Heupel on his wiki page:
