WOW. Our #1 goal should be to graduate good young men. That's what the goal was when I played, that's how I was coached and that's how I coach. Parents want to hear that their boys will be taken care of and looked after and some of them don't get that at home so its important that they have that strong male role model at school. That has been muddied with the NIL and honestly, that kid and his mom that want $10M pr year to come and get a college education, are probably not cut out to be Gators anyway. They belong in Miami where they will crash and burn. UF will never resort to buying players, we shouldn't have to. The greats even today would have still come for free, the Hernandez's and likes, ohwell. You really have had to have played the game for this to make sense. Tebow wouldn't have needed a dime to play at UF.
BN is doing it the right way. Coaches are letting us back on campus, kids are talking about Florida again, its not like it was but give it a year or so for them to see the teams we put on the field and they will come. I think our must beat team under BN will be LSU and its about time that rivalry was reignited and will be a recruiting goldmine. UGA will always be UGA and that being said they will get in their own way and collapse this year. A solid, disciplined team will beat them. UM believes their own hype too much, they will be lucky to go 6 and 5 this year. FSU won't be much better. I'm surprised that Utah is favored over us but that's OK. No one really knows what to expect but look for BN to run, run and run some more then blow them out with AR for some big numbers. AR will get some Heisman noise this year I think.
I predict a 9 plus win season and a good bowl game which will set us up for 2024 and a run at the SEC game.
