Well, that was interesting.
Sean Kelley wants to drop “Gator Nation” and go with Congregation because it’s a group of Gators.
Billy did a mini film study, literally see James from GNFP on the K-Jack long gain from Spring (except ignore the TD play missed) and DJ’s first TD throw. Few more plays Turner’s great diving break up.
Billy says ST organizational issues are unacceptable and “criticism is well deserved”. Started with EPA comment and perception vs. reality but then added that part.
Says new level of urgency, listed leaders, names I haven’t heard before include Slaughter and Crawshaw.
He REALLY sold Florida Victorious. For the critique from a number of people he didn’t push FV enough, he really did this time. I know several boosters of mid to high tier were present, including my mom who isn’t a FV member, but was asking lots of questions. Also, apparently some (all?) FV donations (maybe one time donations?) are tax deductible. Sold that we are competitive in the NIL space, much against those still touting how we are currently far behind and he’s held back by it. Dave Waters did tell me on Twitter we are firmly top 10 this week so this confirms it.
He’s not worried about players leaving at this point.
Only 3 q and a, one about finding time outside of football, one about the most fun game last year, and then a schedule question where yet another person pissing themselves over Jersey names outed themselves.
Billy’s take on the schedule is not far from mine, but reasoning is different.
