Florida takes on its first real test of the season Sunday at 1 PM EST against FSU. Been a while since we beat them and this is a game we really need at the start of the season to win

Go Gators!!!!!!!!

:chomp:We can finally compete with their length. Last few years have been such a mismatch in terms of athletes. New look Gators crush them. :chomp:

Our success in basketball towers over whatever the nulls can display. Its not a must win but we should have the length to play with them now.
I like early success but I want this team peaking and jelling in late Feb,

So PE already excusing a loss.

I really think the Donkey may be right about you - you love losing.

How we handle this game is going to say a hell of a lot about how this season goes.

Huge game, but not a must win. Just would be nice to snap the 5 game losing streak and win as many games as we can before the SEC schedule starts. Our team is going to take some time to fully gel and reach it's potential with all the new guys, especially the freshmen getting used to their roles as team-first players. Hopefully they can get it done today.

I hate losing to fsucks. But would rather lose early to anyone and learn from it and then make a good run in the tourney. Little history lesson maheo, UT had our number when the 04s played. But when it was said and done we won the titles and they exited the dance early each time. Basketball is NOTHING like football. You can struggle early but if you get hot in Feb/march you can take it all. Great gif, btw.

Getting the W today against FSU is a lot more important to the fans than it is to Gators' success this season.

Win or lose, how the Gators respond to this game will tell us a lot about how the pre-SEC season will play out.

If we get the W, then stay hungry for subsequent games in 2019, they're on to something special. If they get the W and start believing the hype, they'll drop some games before New Year's

If the game ends in an L, the team will either double down on Mike White's desire to play crushing defense, or they'll try to free-lance too much on Offense, become selfish, and not get used to keeping the ball movement needed to get open shots.

I think the Gators will win AND stay hungry. This seems to be a VERY coachable bunch of young studs who have very high potential. If they can overcome their tendency fail to get ball movement and stand around watching a one or two-man show during the last 5 minutes of halves, they should be able to maintain leads once they get them.

Go Gators!
