I'm willing to give him another year, albeit a likely brutal one. Florida's worst enemy is Florida. I understand that we had a very young team and that hopefully the next year starts to show improvement but if we don't make better decisions on the field, it rests on coaching - and that's unacceptable.

They called him C-Bow. I'll show myself out.

Meh. They stack up pretty evenly though UGA is obviously the favored team in all of their matchups while Florida is still building the program. OOC for UGA is lighter than UF's with Clemson the only program that could give UGA a game. UF plays UM and FSU, both tough rivalry games and another to UCF who has flashes of brilliance and beat UF in the last outing. In conference, of course, UGA has Bama and UF has TA&M. Not seeing cupcake schedule that you outlined for next year. UF 2024 Schedule (not in order) Miami Samford UCF Georgia FSU UK LSU Ole Miss TA&M MSU Tenn. Texas UGA 2024 Schedule (not in order) Clemson Tenn Tech UF UMass Ga Tech Alabama Auburn MSU Tenn. UK Ole Miss Texas Take out the common opponents and UF (OOC)- Miami, Samford, UCF, FSU; (Conf) - TA&M UGA (OOC) - Clemson, Tenn. Tech, UMass, Ga Tech; (Conf) - Alabama

Candidly, hope it’s not.

"just plain dumb, and Kirby is not that." That means Kirby is...wait for it...Smart. I see what you did there. Nice.

I'd probably replace "friends" with "friendly." Not like they have their own "Heisman House" that they all live in.

What is Smart supposed to say? If he says, "Those guys in Gainesville don't have it together (yet) and we're going to wipe the field with them until they do" then it becomes bulletin board fodder. Though that would be an accurate assessment, most coaches throw some respect toward the other team and keep it friendly until game time.

What did he say that was off-target, Humper? Or are you just basking in your first comment to show off the douche baggery that you've become?

20% of the top 10. I am so proud.

We'll see. As you said, lot's to work on but not shooting ourselves in the foot and better discipline was a huge step in the right direction. I want to see Mertz throw downfield a bit more as the bubble screens and short throws won't win the bigger games on our schedule but a great win, nonetheless.

No dummy. It’s a first year coach with 40 players that left (or will leave) prior to the ‘23 season. This season was a transition on the way to a rebuilding season. If we show the same struggles this time next year then let’s talk.

What happens if someone doesn't "respect my decision?"

Well, apparently he's available now.

I remember being at the '96 game and having to walk into the concession areas and watch the game on the tv because we were struggling so much against Vandy. Wuerffel needed a 4th down conversion to seal the game. VU plays us hard. Hope the Gators are prepared!

I think the congrats go to LSU. What a great accomplishment with a new coach!

To be fair, Florida football won't be relevant for quite a while longer.

Should add, however, that Florida cannot get off the field on 3rd down. That's made a huge difference so far this season.

Better question might be "when?" AR doesn't even have 10 starts under his belt so any prediction was assuming he was all-world at the position this year. He is certainly a prototypical NFL QB in size and ability, but I think it's going to take another year and a lot of growth to get him in Round 1.

"Hasn't" recruited well enough. Since this is the first full year of a new coach's tenure, "doesn't" can't be known yet. This also applies to "have enough competent coaching." Both Smart and Saban had unenviable W-L records their first years and have done quite well since. Aside from the cheap dig at the program, do you have any other sagely commentary?

Thanks for the perspective, Nash. I still wonder why on 3rd and say, 6, our corners are playing soft 10 yards off the line. How can opposing passes land perfectly among 3 of our DBs? While I'm not ready to get rid of Toney, I have to wonder if the personnel is just too young and inexperienced or if the scheme doesn't fit the play. I have also seen several instances where the DBs blitz and have a clean shot at the QB and miss the tackle in the backfield. Just not coming up with anything other than "youth," "new system," or "new coaches."

Laughable! At the SW... Wait, we're favored by 10.5? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Got it now. As you were.

Crickets, my troll.

I don't get it.

It’s like going to the zoo and watching the chimps fling poo at one another.

UM still top of the most hated list. FSU a close second.

It was an NFL game.

I do remember that game. (Grabbing the hearing aid)

We'll make cute balloon animals.

Neil, next time you write an article like this, title it "Free food for the Trolls." What makes you think anyone is overlooking Utah? You must feel like all Florida fans are frolicking in a meadow of optimism farting rainbows. We could win, yes, but I'm looking for a more disciplined team that doesn't shoot themselves in the foot, throw a shoe, can defend a counter trey. That would give me more optimism for the season.
