F$U Prediction Thread

I feel like this game is hopeless....we have no shot.


Which means we win

 

[Lake Gator]

I cannot bring myself to pick against the Gators. They can and will upset an overconfident FSU. God only knows how and by what score.

 

[FireFoley]

If the Gators win, regardless of how they play or look, then all will be right with the fans and Sling Blade will be the next Vince Lombardi. If the Gators lose, the transients will have the litany of excuses including the game was on Friday which is foreign to us and did not have the full complement of days to prepare. And having a shorter prep coming off a raod game the weekend prior was just brutally unfair. I am sure I could find a lot more, but I am more of you play who is on the schedule and when it is on the schedule.

aaaaaaand now we're gonna lose

 

[Gatormac2112]

I thought we might struggle against Vandy, didn't think we would lose, but......I really think we bounce back and win this one. It won't be like the South Carolina game, but it'll be enough good to win a close one and end the season right.

But if we lose, all we can do is turn the page and look to recruiting season.

 

[TheMarylandGator]

We win. Not sure what else to say. Can't justify much more then that at this point because I never bet against the Gators.

 

[Born2beagator]

This is a blowout either way. Game will go one of two ways.

Coaches realize that they have the capability to be one of the best rushing attacks in the sec. We blow fsu out 28-10 with 300 yards rushing.

If we try to pass all game we lose 35-7.

Gonna go with my heart and say we win 28-10

 

[Concrete Helmet]

If this were our coach's last game we would win for sure just like last year(kind of) and 2004? However they have a lot of momentum over the last 3-4 games and are at home. We may have a bunch of upperclassment who are ready to quit or transfer if this thing starts off on the wrong foot.... In other words we either start fast and hold on for the win or we get rolled by a minimum of 3 scores.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

I would also add if we don't score a minimum of 17-20 points in the first half I would recommend turning off the TV and staying out of the chatbox because it could get ugly.

 

[Ray Finkle]

Bloodbath at Ron Zook Field.

Another winning streak, albeit a shorter one, ends.

Another loss to a rival to put a bow on this season.

That is all.

Gators 20
Clowns 37

This is a really bad way to start a thread, for future reference

Meh. It’s also a really bad way to end a season

 

[TN G8tr]

It's been a Jekyll and Hyde season with predicting on this team. So I am changing tendencies on my picks to reflect the inconsistency with this season. Being that last week was an absolute shyt show, I am going with a bounce back week, Noles on a tryptophan coma, and feeling like ACC World Beaters.

UF 35
Semis 24

And BTW Fuchs the Noles.

 

[fischerwood]

Let's just get the dam thing over with...it's gonna be a loooong off season....sumbiotch....Go Gators...

 

[Durty South Swamp]

exactly fischer, and therein lies the problem.

another long and depressing offseason, and yet we cant wait for it to arrive, which means football season is, once again.... wait for it, wait for it.... even more awful.

we've endured nearly 15 years of this putrid sht, spanning 2 ADs, 4 coaches, what seems like about 35 quarterbacks, and a myriad of offense and defensive playcallers who all have had 1 thing in common. TOTAL SUCKAGE.

feels like we are tennessee at this point.

the problem isnt the players, its not the coaches, its not even the piss poor recruiting or pathetic facilities. It's the athletic admin from the top down. Foley dug this program's grave, then helped hand pick foley jr to throw the body in and fill the hole. Mission accomplished.

want to start winning and being serious about competing again? It's starts with a full sterilization at the very top. Until that happens new coaches are just washing the windows on a dilapidated building.

 

[MidwestChomp]

Clowns probably gonna go all pennywise on us.

A lot of validity in your post. But I will say, we’re in the best shape in terms of addressing that than we’ve been during any of that period. Napier at least got a shift in the mindset and financial commitment, and Stricklin knows he’s joined at the hip with him, so hopefully as BN asks SS will provide. It’s why I was completely opposed to the idea of a coach like LK or anyone else who I feel would’ve come in and glossed over those core issues because he can win 9-10 games without correcting them.

i hope you're right and acknowledge there's some potential there but the play on the field seems to be worse than it was and i cant wrap my mind around that if the staff is doing so many things right. i could even buy into "not improved yet but at least stabilized" but it seems like we are getting worse. maybe its just one game and we shake it off, but good lord its freaking vandy, and its one of the worst vandy's weve ever seen.

I don’t know on that last part. There were people here in week 1 or 2 raving about how much better they looked and, correctly in hindsight, saying they’d beat us. Mason’s teams were far worse, imo. But it’s still Vandy, so this is all moot. No, we shouldn’t be losing to them. On the play actually looking worse, I think it’s just new systems and players getting worked in(plus the sporadic talent issues). You could make a lot of those arguments about our 2005 team, especially on offense, compared to a year earlier. And uga in 2016 undoubtedly took a step back. Just have to hope that’s what this is and we look wildly better next year. Napier’s calm demeanor is odd at times in these press conferences but he truly seems like it’s under control. Hopefully he does.

We are also lean on depth and we played a wicked schedule. Again we are very young and we were not left with much.

I thought we turned a corner 2 weeks ago BUT the Vandy game was SAD.
