WE don't expect it. EVERYONE ELSE does. If we can pulverize Vandy and Ed O's boys can hang tight with UGA or even beat them, it will strike fear and doubt in the heart of every Puppy. I know - look where I am from - I am surrounded by them, including friends and family. They've been conditioned by 18 years of Steve/Urban and many years of Ray Goof, Donnan, and Richt to expect the worst when we come out of the tunnel in Jax.
Exactly. I'm not saying we will lose to UGA, but we will be underdogs, even if they lose to LSU (which would be sweet by the way). But since we will be predicted to lose that game and they do have a more talented roster than us, the meltdown wouldn't be anywhere near the meltdown over a loss to lowly Vandy. Hopefully we win them all.

Not the case at all. Losing to UGA is expected. They have a lot more talent than us and a win would be phenomenal. But you simply can’t lose to a very poor Vandy team, especially when you already have a loss to UK. Luckily it should be a comfortable win as long the team is focused.
Losing to the dwags is NOT expected. Nor should it ever be accepted.
Please let us not slip into that line of thinking.
They've always had talent and many years we would hear about it would be "their " bla bla bla. 2008 comes to mind.
But they were always "expecting" a loss and so they did.
We expected to win, and I hope we expect to win, not just against them, but every game.

We gotta keep growing, bond and work together... get some buzz, brand and identity back this season... Prime Time mix next season, no more smirks or eye rolling when the Gators come to town. Find a way to win tomorrow and not get trapped, no regression, climb that ladder Team. My thoughts anyway.

Go Gators!

I thought we did, too. But I just looked at the play-by-play on ESPN, and we didn't. It just seemed that way. Perine DID run the last FIVE plays of the first TD drive, but only one, 13 yds on 2nd and 6 from the LSU 15, was a lengthy run. I know all five weren't pitches, because the TD wasn't. He DID have one big gainer on that play on EACH TD drive.

Didn't we run it a second time but it got called back for holding?

I will announce following the game tomorrow my conclusion as to whether we will shock the world and upset the Dawgs. My decision will be based 32.7% on our performance against Vanderbilt, 60.5% on how much beer I drank and 6.8% on miscellaneous factors.
I expect an outline on what made up the miscellaneous factors after your decision.

Beating gawga is always on this Gator's mind, however I'm going to put that aside, finish early breakfast and head to Nashville for my first live game this year, Then I'll have two weeks to figure out how to beat them and head to Jax. GO GATORS, 23-9 good guys

Probably been said before but I'll say it again.

Early game.
Road favorite.
New coach.
Young team.
Big jump in the rankings.
Attaboys on campus all week.
Vanderbilt and all that entails.
Big win emotional hangover.
LSU physical hangover.

I'm not saying we'll lose, but I'm not expecting us to overpower them or win by more than 14.

Surprise announcement! (not really)

I'm very worried about this game..... Vandy played ND very tight, many think they should have won...... I'm thinking: Are we better than ND? I think not........ I need some tums.... stat!

Go Gators, stay focused and don't disrespect Vandy!

Going to be watching and chime it in at limited times. I'm having to watch on my personal laptop. Coordinating and preparing the ordering reports of supplies going into 2 Hurricane Michael Incident sub-command posts.

Frank's very sharp early! Great script set to get the field position flipped or at least get 3.
