I couldn't understand my professor, so I dropped the course. The textbook was unreadable.

@DarenStoltzfus: CSU doesn’t even use 8500 tickets at home - not surprised they aren’t touching those tickets at the Swamp

Well, yes, I do have a yurt...Hilton...just over that dune behind my left shoulder in Dubai...Lifetime Diamond, thanks for asking, sir.
I am who I am and I make no pretense otherwise, A Pumper of the First Order. Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows is my anthem.
After pert near 40 years globetrotting, living in and among every major culture and country thereof on 6 of 7 continents, I have crystal clear perspective the ad infinitum destitution that abounds across the ponds and south of the border where multi-digit sized families live under trees, in cardboard boxes and whose pure focus in life is to get through the day, and how powerball-odds fortunate I am to carry a US passport, call home in the Land of Hot Water at my beck and call 24x7, in a clime where I wear shorts and sandals 11 months a year (the Siberian Express tain't no myth) as well being born truly free to craft run on sentences like this one.

BIG DM fan, I yam. Drinking his G Jumpman Kix Koolaid at breakfast with each New Day. He has firmly embraced these critical Principles of Leadership:
Set the Example - The "lead from the front principle" -->> Running with the team.
Be Technically and Tactically Proficient --> Practiced daily priority for RB's 1) Protect the ball. 2) Protect the QB.
Employ Your Command within its Capabilities in close order. --> Practice/game plan to your personnels' strengths.
In regards to special teams, I found this, circa 2008: Under Meyer, Florida is 15-1 (93.75%) in games that they’ve blocked a punt, field goal or PAT kick.
When the special teams line up, I'll line up on the edge of my seat and pay special attention 'cuz history states when our men impose their will just once, game over but the final score.

I'm glad that we have what appears to be quality rotations at some defensive positions. It means both Jachai and CeCe are going to be fresh all game.

This is exactly the type of game we need to start the season. Destroy a bad team. Get backups lots of playing time. Limit impact of suspensions. Limit injuries to starters by not having them play a lot.
Get a feel good win and work out the kinks in a new offense.

For a bit of comparison purposes...
McElwain's first game was in 2015 against New Mexico State. We won, 61-13. Quote from the ESPN post-game:
"Still, so many aspects of Florida's opener looked and felt completely different than the four less-than-stellar years under defensive-minded coach Will Muschamp. The offense was crisp and creative, complete with constantly changing personnel groupings as well as a variety of shifts and playmakers."
Muschamp's first game was in 2011 against Florida Atlantic. We won, 41-3. Quote from the ESPN post-game:
"After all, it was a rousing success. John Brantley looked comfortable leading Florida's revamped offense, Chris Rainey scored three different ways and the 22nd-ranked Gators opened the Muschamp era with a 41-3 victory over Florida Atlantic on Saturday night."
Meyer's first game was in 2005 against Wyoming. We won, 32-14. Quote from the ESPN post-game:
"In case you're wondering what the offense should look like, that wasn't it," Meyer said, sounding a little like the Ol' Ball Coach. "We have got a lot of work to do. Chris Leak and the offense has a long way to go."
What does this mean? I don't know. But I wanted to pass it along.
