Hayes: What if 4th-and-31 never happened? Imagining the fallout
Matt what if a frog had wings? Middle of bowl season and the playoffs and this is the best you can come up with for a column? Pitiful
Every time we have had a successful program it seems there was a young man who not only was the face of the program but who also embraced that role. DJ seems to fit that mold. Granted we lost some talented players over the past few weeks. However, with the leadership that DJ exhibits coupled with how close we were this season there’s cause for optimism. Getting some mature talented linemen in the portal is paramount to success next season. This is where the money needs to be spent. Go Gators!!!
Yes Texas and Oklahoma join the conference and no more East/West. However, the playoffs expand from 4 to 12. Conference championships will only determine seeding. I watched for 39 before UGA became relevant again. With the portal and NiL it can happen overnight. Don’t know if Napier is the answer. However, the potential to turn things around are as strong in Gainesville as anywhere. He’s going to get at least one more year.
Lack of discipline like throwing a shoe. Can you imagine a player under Bear Bryant or Nick Saban doing something like that? I believe we have a good President now who cares about our program and we now have the facilities needed. Hopefully things will change in the near future.
Thats the $7.4 million dollar question.
GaGa I’m 70 years old , played college football and rugby, have family who have attended UF since 1929 and several who have played football for UGA. In all my years of playing and attending sporting events you are truly the worst excuse for a fan I’ve ever witnessed and that’s saying a lot! Georgia is clearly a better team with better talent at this point in time. I wish them well as they have built a great program. I would request that you demonstrate a little class but the chances of that occurring are about the same as my winning the lottery. You’re clearly a miserable and pathetic person.
I grew up on the East bank of the St. John’s south of downtown. I’ve lost track of the number of these games I’ve attended including the ones in 94 and 95. 1/2 my family is from South Georgia, including 2 cousins who played QB for UGA and the other 1/2 from North Florida. It’s a tradition like none other!
Of the 100 times these 2 have met only 4 times have they teed it up on the 28th day of October. Florida has won 3 of the 4 including the 52 most wonderful points I’ve ever seen scored between the hedges.
Although UGA is the more talented team tomorrow will be remembered as a dawg gone day when the streak ended for the dawgs.
Technically, the writer is correct in that the area around E. Bay St. and Talleyrand was historically a low swampy area back in the early 1900s before the Jacksonville Municipal structure was constructed. However, I don’t think the writer wasn’t aware of that history.
As for the chances of my Gators to paraphrase what the Athens legend Leonard Postero of Leonard Losers might have said, Kirby’s great red army will come marching into the capital of south Georgia, on the banks of the Saint Johns River this Saturday. The spirits will flow as freely as the river itself. It don’t take many smart pills to project the winner of this match.
His boys are loaded in every position while the Gators struggle on both sides of the line. Nothing short of the HBC himself assuming sideline duties could save the lizards from the skinning they are facing Saturday afternoon. While , Florida has made strides there’s a long ways to go before they can play with Kirbys K-9’s.Just hope that the Gators don’t suffer any injuries as they have a lot left to play for after Saturday. Leonard’s loser Florida.
Negan do they allow all the patients unrestricted access to the internet at Milledgeville or is yours a special program? After Georgia was a founded as a prison colony it the t went on to establish the Georgia State Lunatic, Idiot and Epilitic Asylum in 1842 which by 1964 had grown to be the largest mental hospital in the world! Given these facts it explains a lot about your persona.
Calling him a troll is too kind.
Are you watching the Auburn gameDAWGLB
Yes and both schools have the same number of NC over those 60 years both schools have the same number of NC’s so what’s your point?
Who is this clown. Although I don’t believe we will be competitive for the East title the progress from last year will be evident. Wait until next year will never be more accurate for the Napier rebuild. Florida hasn’t faced such a rebuild since Charlie Pell took over.
No posts from the UGA trolls? Guess they still remember Spikes absolutely destroying Noshow Moreno in the 2008 game. Set the tone for the entire game.
StL And yet Billy brought players with him that both Saban, Smart and all the services /analytics turned their noses up at. I agree you can’t compete at the SEC level with a roster full of 3 but I don’t see that’s what Billy is trying. He is loaded with 4’s and is sprinkling in some 3’s. It’s still too early to tell if he’s going to be successful I’ll be the first to admit when I heard him at his introductory PC I came away unimpressed ( not the most dynamic public speaker I’ve ever heard). Yet, since then as a former player I’m seeing many things I like. My fear is given this year’s schedule the record may not reflect the actual progress that is being achieved. Hopefully, he will be given that all important 3rd year at the helm and not succumb to naysayers.
Lake do a little research and you might find numerous three stars that went on to have stellar careers such as Mike Pouncey and Sam Bradford. To quote a longtime coach of a southern college who wore a funny hat “ give me a. kid who isn’t an all American but doesn’t know it over one that is an All American who knows he is and I will beat you nine times out of 10. The coach went on to win more games and the other coach at the time in NCAA history. Keep spouting your ignorant statements, you’re such a fool.
Everyone of the trolls points to what Kirby did in his 2nd year as a yardstick for Napier. Truth is it’s apples and oranges. Kirby took over a settled program who had the same coach in place for 15 years and had enjoyed good success. Napier took over a train wreck and his first season ended just as I suspected. I’m afraid year 2 may not be much better. I say “may” in that there is a much greater possibility of a decent. season this year than last. The bad news is both FSU and Miami are getting better……the good news is FSU and Miami are getting better. When our traditional state teams are doing well more in state talent stays home and don’t matriculate to other schools. The State of Florida has demonstrated it’s capable of producing 3 top 10 teams year in and year out. When that occurs the worm will turn and happy times will be here again.
Hey Negan talking about memories is 52 points scored by the opposition still the record between the shrubs. Talk about an empty stadium!! Not many puppies left by the 4th quarter that day.
Classless and clueless. I really liked and respected their coach until today.
Angel Reese’s classless gesture towards Caitlin Clark at the conclusion of the game was an embarrassment to the program Kim Mulkey has built. Caitlin Clark deserved the MVP trophy. I wanted to congratulate LSU until watching Reese’s behavior.
Can’t even begin to understand why Napier would want to hire someone who Saban recently hired ( even though Saban hired him as a position coach he obviously has qualities that impressed him). While I’m a big fan of Charlie Strong I believe Armstrong is a better fit for Napier going forward. Only time will tell if both of them are the right fits in Hawgtown.
Willybob I’ve had the experience of 35 years of working with numerous individuals who have JD’s, MBA’s, MD’s and PHD’s from some of the top universities in the country. I can tell you one thing I’ve learned from this experience. The level of one’s education doesn’t equate to the level of one’s intelligence. So a rancher in the red state of Montana with a high school degree can be much more intelligent than a lawyer with a Harvard degree in the blue state of New York.
Excellent observations Foodman. Almost a Brock Berlin scenario.
Someone help me out. Once a player and a school enter into a LOI are there conditions by which that agreement can be rescinded either unilaterally or by both the parties. Any penalties should a player decide to not honor the agreement?
Poor Negan is so confused it’s really sad. First he says the collective is broke and can’t pay, then in the next sentence he realizes how ridiculous that sounds with all the money we have so he switches saying the collective is mad at the Coach and will not pay. Finally he tries to draw an analogy between SOS’s feelings about UGA and his feelings about Florida once again attempting to assert the HBC’s penchant for bourbon when in truth and fact anyone who knows Orr knows he’s a beer drinker since his days in Hawgtown. The missives he posts are becoming increasingly delusional.
As far as the article itself I believe StlGator is probably pretty close. My take is that Florida has in essence “drafted” this player through the recruiting process and his signing a LOI. Although it’s not supposed to play this role the NIL agreement is analogous to the rookie contract of the player and for whatever reason(s) he is now attempting to renegotiate this agreement. Likely someone got in his ear at the All-Star game. Given the utter lack of regulations by the NCAA and laws by the various state legislatures on NIL the universities, collectives, lawyers and players will likely be ironing out these issues in the years ahead and make for great theater.
Oh my the sky is falling the sky is falling. Everyone stop listening to all the haters, remember we are the flagship university in the most talent rich state in the country with a coach who understands that as well and is recruiting well. He said have patience and the quality of the type individuals he seems to be signing bodes well for the future. Next year will be another.500 season, give or take a game with year 3 returning to challenging for championships. Those of us who have been around since before the 60’s know the meaning of patience and rewards.
Ha dodged that shutout bullet ?
