  1. It didn't even make sense as they have typically played just one P5 team OOC because they don't have a permanent OOC rival. Starting next year, they have two P5 teams OOC each year, but not this year.
  2. They didn't do whatever. They followed the structure for 10 of the 12 years until Texas and Oklahoma joined forcing the rotation to end early. And no doubt that 2 games in 12 years sucked ass. It's one of the reasons they pushed the NCAA to end divisional requirements.
  3. There was, in fact, a rotation/structure. But since they had to maintain divisions with a 14 team conference, it was a 12 year rotation that had two bridge schedules in 2012 and 2013 before it started was set up for 2014-2025 https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-releases-future-schedule-rotations-until-2025/ And just at the time that UGA and A&M were supposed to play their second game, Texas and OU joined which the caused two more bridge schedules in 2024 and 2025 cutting the original rotation 2 years short. Of course, they did weird things with the bridge schedules... like Florida/A&M was scheduled in 3 of the 4 bridge schedules as well as added to the 10 game conference schedule in 2020, so counting next season, we will have played the Aggies 6 times since 2012.

    Well, it's official. vs. Tulane Hopefully the team takes it seriously and isn't annoyed that we were bumped down to a 6-6 bowl and expect to sleepwalk through it. https://floridagators.com/news/2024/12/8/football-gators-headed-to-union-home-mortgage-gasparilla-bowl-for-matchup-against-tulane.aspx

    We may have been jumped by Arkansas, but if so, they're playing in Memphis and we're playing in Tampa. I can't complain.

    Apparently, we're playing in the Gasparilla bowl. I thought we had played ourselves up into the Tier 1 bowl rotation of 6.
  7. Stop talking! Get to the important stuff!
  8. More importantly, when do we get to the 7-5 bowl game selections?
  9. And the NCAA being told to stop investigating because they were breaking federal law and that took priority.

    Up to 10 now on 247. Flips since the LSU game... 11/17 - 3* Tramell Jones Jr. from FSU 11/18 - 3* Stephon Shivers from Georgia 11/19 - 3* Daniel Pierre Louis from FSU 11/25 - 3* Jahari Medlock from Cincinatti 11/25 - 4* Ty Jackson from USC 11/25 - 3* Muizz Tounkara from Arizona 11/26 - 3* Byron Louis from FSU 11/29 - 4* Jayden Woods from Penn State 11/30 - 4* Tavaris Dice from Auburn 12/1 - 4* Joseph Mbatchou from Texas (previous Gators commit) 12/2 - 4* Hylton Stubbs from Miami
  11. This. Just the fact that the rules for FSU's sod cemetery specify it must be a win over a ranked opponent as an underdog or any win in Gainesville. So yes, last year when 11-0 FSU beat 5-6 Florida in Gainesville, it was worthy of putting it amongst their greatest road wins. And in 2022, when 8-3 FSU beat 6-5 Florida in Tallahassee, the students rushed the field. This whole business with leaving the ACC, the attitude amongst their fans has been heavily that it's UF's fault that FSU never got into the SEC even though UF sponsored them since the 1960s and it was FSU that chose to not join the SEC in 1990 when given the chance as they saw it as an opportunity to leapfrog UF by getting to be a big fish in a storm puddle rather than having to play ranked SEC teams every year.
  12. The Buckman Act in 1905 consolidated the existing schools to create 3 universities in Florida, which made UF the flagship university for White males and was moved to Gainesville. What would become FSU was a women's college until the 1950s so historically, they have always been way behind UF academically, athletically, and based on state resources.

    It also helps that FSU took themselves out of the OC search pool by hiring Gus Malzhan today.

    What a shittastic game that we still won by 3 scores. Go Gators.
  15. Looks like we got Tramell Jones out of the weekend. Not bad.
  16. Last night was fun. It's been several rough years but each year we seem to have a game where The Swamp is at its best and it makes sitting through the rest seem worth while (my golf game is similar where I can expect one good hole per round). This year - LSU 2023 - Tennessee 2022 - Utah It's been great seeing fellow Gators continue to show up every home game and try to will the team to a win. I'm sure there's a local children't hospital with some extra cash.
  17. https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/college-football-coach-biggest-buyouts-contracts-2024 Buyout as of Dec. 1, 2024: $61,738,333 Kelly is #4 on the list of largest buyouts in college football. Surprisingly, Napier is way down at #26. Crazy that a $26.7 M buyout doesn't even crack the top 25 anymore.
  18. Etienne's mom is upset that Florida tackled her boy. She even started texting Gator players about it.
  19. I'm still not sure why Millen didn't play on Saturday. Wasn't he the 3rd string?
  20. I can't believe that Vegas doesn't have more trust in our backup backup QB and his singing band of the walking wounded.
  21. He's a PWO who transferred in from Yale. The only other QB we've got left is Clay Millen who is on his third stop after Colorado St and Nevada.
  22. It's a good thing we're not calling it the Cocktail Party anymore. Cleared up all of that silly business right quick.
  23. I remember trying to simulate SECCG scenarios in late October. But that was a long time ago.
