Unless it's a BCS or playoff game why is the incentive to playing hard in a meaningless game? Does anyone give a $hit who the winner of the Outback, Camping World, etc... bowl is?

It gives the team about five extra weeks of practice. You don’t go to a bowl you lose that time.

Some of this has to be true. There's too much smoke, too many people with proven insider sources saying the same thing. Some take it farther than others, embellishing what they've heard to try to be first. But if this is all false, then i'm officially worried about the next decade of gator football.

Not necessarily true though. Lots of them use the same source (tweets) then expound on it. Lots of them are looking to drum up hits. Point is ... once somebody comes out with somehting that is obviously false and embellished, they should go into the bad pile and not listened too anymore. Doesn't mean that they might not saying something true later on ... just means they aren't trustworthy anymore. Smoke is easy to create these days because of social media ... with no fire.

I can't think of a single reason not to be happy about this. And with Chip Kelly, I think you will see a different and improved version of Randy Shannon. Ticket sales will go through the roof and many more of our games will be nationally televised giving big boost to recruiting. Yep, I am all in with this. Goooo Gators!

Stricklin's tweets sound like me when my kids guess the right present they got and then I feel obligated to misdirect because i think they need to be "surprised"

I would say that more practice time with the current coaches is detrimental to our program. But again ... we aint getting to 5 so it is moot.

i didn't believe a single time Stoops was coming. The ones pedaling that were idiots.

Stoops was a pipe dream, but that isn't the only instance... of more smoke that it has to happen. especially in todays 24/7 media and social media cycle... how much BS gets put out there, before people look where the source of it is all coming from.

on the Frost/Kelly chase, I've heard (and it makes sense) that our primary contact with Kelly was to vet Frost. During that process, either Kelly expressed interest and/or UF become intrigued by Kelly. What started as let's go land Frost became wow Chip Kelly could be a fit, and he may take the job. To me, it reminds me of Fields and Corral. Everyone was on board and chasing Fields and out of nowhere this Corral kid says he likes UF a lot.
