UF didn’t fire Dan. He fired himself. I have no problem with that move …nor does anyone else. I have no problem with the BN hire either. It made sense at the time. He cleaned up the cancer and got commitments from Strick & the UAA that made previous hires’ jealous. No one expected this. Just get it right this time. If it means 10 people involved with the search… then go 15. If it means a budget of 18k for the whole staff… then go 25k. It’s not a turn key situation. But there is enough talent that’s there now that can win a lot of ball games. They just need the right leader.

Ain’t happening. If it happens during the season it will be post Kentucky. We are still afforded a bye week and the transfer portal won’t be nearly as wide as it is now. And, it gives the UAA a month to get their $ and house in order for the replacement.

Always on point Nash. The 22 vs 22 are very similar in terms of talent. The depth is what tips the scales to UF. My ONLY concern is the OL. We go how the OL goes. But I got UF by 12.

Kiff to UF will never happen. Not sure why this keeps being brought up as a possibility. It’s not.

They are built like SEC teams but haven’t experienced the week to week grind like SEC teams. The stadiums are bigger, louder and the ‘care’ level is just higher than what they are used to. Having said that, TX has the talent to compete against anyone and OK is pretty close. They’ll figure it out.

Harlan Coben writes really good books, though.

Yes, 28-3 in ‘83. Early OOC games don’t tell us that much IMO. It’s 2 teams squaring off that don’t know each other very well. Too many unknowns. I think back to Utah 2 years ago… Bucknut U falling to a mediocre Va Tech team early in 2014, only to curb stomp everyone on their way to a Championship… PSU starting 2-2 in 2016, the running the table to win the B1G and just missed the playoffs. Win or lose, I think it’s how you respond the following weeks.

I think you are the only one that cares about it. Or at least the only that mentions it.

Not sure of the point you are trying to make. Yes, he’s been late to meetings and practices and very well might not make it to fall camp. But the DB room is the deepest and most talented on the team. Cormani isn’t anywhere near the 2 deep. It’s an odd outlier you’re trying to invoke here.

Of course I would. That wasn’t what I was referring to. You keep bringing up that we’ve never had a #1 pick, like it’s some kind of diss. When it just isn’t. It’s not an achievement (or lack of) that really crosses the minds of most us.

It’s a weird thing you keep bringing it up. BUT … no one cares.

That was actually pretty funny… and not entirely wrong. Every now then you bring good humor to this site.

What people seem to forget is the Norvell project looked like a complete train wreck after his first 2 seasons.

No, absolutely not. But unless he loses the locker room or it gets to a point where he can’t sell his vision to recruits & the UAA/Stricklin …he’s not going anywhere. It’s not lost on anyone who follow this program closely that he has been great Sunday thru Friday… but has fallen short on Saturdays. He’ll have to show improvement. But I believe he gets 2 more years.

It would certainly reduce this site to the next tier of ‘fake news’… but wait a minute … I think it already is. My bad. Clicks & comments mean something in this business, I guess. Regardless of how much of an overreach from reality some want to do to get them. 87 days left. Let’s move the summer along, already.

He’s not getting fired. No matter how many times SDS writers want to keep repeating it. And Kiffin will never be the HC in G’ville either.

In “shambles”, is a pretty lazy take on the program. We may not have a winning coach. That has yet to be proven. But literally every other aspect of the program has improved since Napier got here. Recruiting, talent level, facilities, academics, nutrition, off field nonsense and the culture overall is in a much better place than was. A good HC can win a lot of games with all those upgrades. Napier has another season (maybe 2) to see if he can do it.

Hard to argue against either. Both deserving and a tough choice. Classic - that they meet up in the last series. SDS

I don’t think the conference will have an undefeated team this season. Or the B1G, for that matter. Even the more manageable schedules are still tough by most season’s standards. I think we will see at least two 9 win teams in the playoffs.

There wasn’t anything ‘situational’ behind that decision. Just Corbin having no class.

If his hitting was so “pedestrian” against your awesome pitching then why intentionally walk him? It only seems “stupid” to you because it’s not a good look for your team. It was a lame move. And as far as classless d-bags go, you must not sit near your team’s dugout. It’s a mouthy bunch.

The guy isn’t a Gator fan. He’s a troll that gave himself away many times over. Most of us just ignore the tool.

I don’t think I’ve ever come on here to complain about officiating, but you are not wrong sir. It absolutely made a difference in the outcome of this game. For whatever reason, Golden doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt from officials that is often afforded to some of the older more established coaches. And it’s been a pattern all season. Virginia, Wake, College Station among a handful of others …we’ve all seen it. Not sure if it’s his youth or that he hasn’t been around as long as others but they don’t seem to like him.

And you/he/she are an undisputed pos.

He/she is a pos …there is no other explanation.

Such a piece of Sh !t. Go get that GED and make something of yourself.

You are such a piece of Sh !t

It is my understanding that there has been interest from other programs. I think SS felt it necessary to lock him up.

You must not be paying attention then.
