Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Utah***

[TN G8tr]

We've been saying and to some on this board as well. Don't sleep on this Defense. Talent has been there. Coaching has not. I think we're in for a pleasant surprise Saturday night.

Let's hope so.
I can't take another Grantham/Tommy Frasier game.

Evidently Napier does, he's already shared it with the team.

My sources tell me that Billy challenged Kyle to a hell in the cell match at next years wrestlemania. Stone Cold Steve Austin is going to be the special referee.

No. 7 Utah at Florida, (Saturday, 3:30 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN app): The matchup between Utah and Florida is rare in a few ways. This is just the third time the Gators have opened the season against a ranked opponent at home (and the first time they are an underdog since 1982). It will be the first time the Utes have faced an SEC opponent since their historic Sugar Bowl win over Alabama in 2009.

If there is one player who can talk at length about both programs, it is Utah linebacker Mohamoud Diabate, who transferred from Florida in the offseason. Diabate has spent nearly as much time talking trash about his former teammates as answering questions about this game from reporters.

But that talk has quieted during this week of preparation.

"We've been talking for the past nine months," Diabate said. "The talk is winding down now. It's time to play."

When asked whether it would be strange to be in the visitors locker room, Diabate said the Gators used it during the pandemic.

"I'm familiar with the old, janky Florida Gators visitor locker room," he said. "I'm really excited to smell the place; it's smells that give you the nostalgic feeling. So I'm going to go there, take a breath of air and realize where I am -- and get to work."

Despite Diabate's familiarity with the locker room and some of the Florida players, much has changed since he left Gainesville -- starting with new coach Billy Napier. You could make an argument about which school needs the victory more: Napier would love nothing more than to start his Florida career with a big nonconference win to show he has the Gators headed in the right direction; Utah would love nothing more than to get a huge nonconference road win against an SEC team to make a statement for its program and the Pac-12. -- Andrea Adelson

College football's Week 1 is officially here. Does Notre Dame have to tools to slow down Ohio State? Is Dan Lanning's Georgia experience enough to lift the Ducks past Georgia? All that and more.

Because I don't need to repeat myself. But I guess I have to for dumb people. Those uniforms were effing hideous. Probably the ugliest thing UF ever wore.

Did you just call me dumb?

Click bait. There's no way he said that.

Look, you can make fun of me all you want. I can take it. But I really hate being called a liar. I know you are joking, so I just messed with you back. But I don't want my name, even if it's just my username handle being associated with dishonesty.

FWIW, all throughout the '90s, I thought my favorite unis were blue jersey with white pants, along with the regular orange helmet with the script. That is until 52-20. Sure, the game may have helped sway my opinion, but what I love about it is instead of having orange right next to blue, you have the white jersey in between which really makes both the orange and the blue pop. Still my favorite look to this day. Granted, no one gives a flip about my opinion, but after all this corny back-and-forth, I figured I'd give it anyway.

It’s a witty sometimes biting brew that will often spank you and then remind you the next day

Absolutely no one took it seriously except you.

He sure did!

 

[NOLAGATOR]

No throwback jerseys this year.

And no black until next year.

He's keeping it traditional year 1.

I'd like a blue helmet from time to time.

He sure did!

The exclamation point was a nice touch.
