Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs McNeese State***

[revgator]

Many pumpers wanted him to get another year lol they are like those japanese ww2 soldiers that kept fighting until the late 70s or even early 80s

I can't forget my favorite Muschamp defense from the pumpers: "you're going to chase him off and he's going to be a great coach at another school!"

That was my favorite of the bunch.

Look, I’m all for hating on Vacationing Dan, but at some point, the blame for shytty performances falls on the current head coach.

He had to know that Utah would be bringing pressure knowing that the oline was inexperienced and playing together for the first time. The lack of quick game has hurt this team for 14 games now.

We don’t have a generational athlete playing qb anymore who can bail us out of offensive line issues, so you have to scheme to what you have.

Haven't had a generational QB talent since Tebow.

I agree. He’s responsible for the product on the field. He could’ve brought in upperclassman in the portal.

Could have. I personally don't want any turncoats. Guy comes to Florida, works his butt off, plays based on his talent and drive and graduates in 4 or 5 years. That's the model I want my coach to use.

Won’t work in today’s world. You’re going to have to pop in transfers every now and then to shore up weak spots.

Will be interesting to see how FSU, LSU, and, on the extreme side, Colorado, fair over this season and next because they've built their team using transfers.

I still want players that want to be Gators first. But I'm afraid I may be stuck in the past.

I’m afraid that's just the world of college ball these days.
There will all ways be a few that really bleed Orange and Blue but most bleed gr$$n.

I popped in and shored up your moms weak spot

 

[Silverback Gator]

I cannot wait for our physical dominance over the lesser opponent to confirm Napier's offensive scheme leading up to the Tennessee game, which post Tennessee will be "well, we saw how well it worked last week, we'll just have to work harder this week in practice."

That’s why I said generational athlete playing qb

Even if that results in 6-6 or worse?

Those days of the rah rah homer type players are over. Very few players commit to a school anymore because of some kind of nostalgia or pride. It’s NIL or “how can this coach help me get drafted in the first two rounds?”.

Even then. Better 0-10-1 than be a thinly veiled D league for overpaid athletes.

Fans are being encouraged to wear white….we’re doing a white out….against McNeese State.

 

[Theologator]

OK, that goes a long way to having Mowins call the game. Perhaps we go to the sideline a bit more during the game.

BUT, Mowins still sucks.

I can grit my teeth and get through it, but my wife cannot watch anything Mowins calls. I’ll try to sync the radio broadcast.

What do I want to see this weekend?

1. Run the ball well. Thinking about a few years ago when we couldn’t run against Charleston or Richmond or whoever the early cupcake was. Find the right combo on the OL. Switching 1 guy can make a huge difference.

2. Defensive discipline vs. an (undermanned) Air Raid offense. DL get your hands up, the ball is coming out quickly every play. DBs will need to pick their spots to jump routes. Tackle well.

3. Special teams flawless.

4. Get focused and ready for Ut.

5. Mertz take the deeper shots and hit them. OL give him time to make those reads.

Oh, and just a dream but the ultimate fix for one mental error: QUIT ASSIGNING THE SAME NUMBER TO 2 PLAYERS! Just stop it. It’s dumb and has cost you a ton.

This single digit fad is annoying, too. No one over 250 lbs should have a single digit.

And if two guys have the same last name, the fact they have different numbers is plenty to identify them.

Every college team in America has a whole bunch of players with duplicate numbers. There aren't enough numbers to go around.

Maybe it will rain. Giggity.
