    Good game and definitely a challenging matchup for whichever Florida team actually shows up. I might actually make the trip considering the location.

    I've yet to see a sports board that can stay on track for more than 20 posts. Why talk X and O when you can argue!

    Have a nephew that went there. Also a former co worker.

    A much more interesting game would have been Oregon State/South Carolina. #channelmyinnerBeavisandbutthead

    I have no idea what to expect. Traveling to LV, 3rd string Qb with no playing time, and little to play for, I’m thinking the Beaves are lookin pretty good. #channelmyinnerBeavisandbutthead

    That's a fascinating and controversial question! There is some new rules to know. In rural areas you can now pump your own gas specially if it's off hours. Commerical stations are also all pump your own.

    The standard line was that it was for safety after some reactionary politics involving big explosions. The side reason was it made jobs for unskilled workers and former felons during a time when jobs were hard to come by (theory being employed unskilled workers and felons tend to be better for society than unemployed).

    The truth is somewhere in the middle and the vast majority of us don't care enough about the issue to creat political will to make a change.

    Oh and we're all intrinsically too scared and stupid to figure it out.

    We like him too and he's gotten a lot more playing time here. He's really been coming on in the back half and I wouldn't be surprised if he throws up big numbers next year.

    Looks like the spread now is Oregon State -8.5 points. That’s not a bad line at all, as we have no clue who will be our QB. Easy money for someone who believes in Oregon State.

    Thanks! It's more for my degree than a prolific pelvic floor talent but glad to bring back good memories haha.

    Hopefully Andre can skip the concussion. Harvin's career was cut waaayyyyyyyy too short.

    If the remaining 58 players or so all wanted to be Gators, we will be way ahead of full squad of 85 with players not buying in. I expect a solid effort on our part. Obviously the big question is who will play QB?

    We are chronically underestimated. Our spreads are always tighter or looser than Vegas expects. Seriously though our rankings and spreads are always a wreck, putting money on us is a solid bet most games.

    It's just too hard to tell. Seems like FL should get blown out, but there are too many unknowns. If we happen to field a decent roster other than QB, we might have the athletes to stay in it. Maybe some young guys on defense play out of their minds and force a couple turnovers. We obviously have good RBs and can be productive there. I won't touch this line.

    We're done with the Mercs outside of a conference championship next year or a pos season matchup.

    You can bet that most P12 teams will not be scheduling the LA spoiled children teams in any sport in the future.

    How I see it:
    If a kid wants to be in orange and blue next year then they better play in the bowl game unless they’re injured. I’m guessing Billy has been direct with the players on that.

    If they’re transferring, they shouldn’t play in the bowl because they are essentially no longer on the team. There may be some exceptions if player and coach agree.

    If player is going pro, I’d rather they play in bowl but I can understand the reasons why some don’t and we’ve beat that horse to death here.

    @Gatorrick22 you good with that?

    In bowls games the team that wants it the most generally wins...but this one may come down to who has the most success in the running game and turnovers as the X factor. OSU looks pretty one dimensional on offense. In your 4 biggest games - USC, Oregon, Washington and Utah - the QBs threw 10 pics and 0 Tds. So, this will be a battle of who is stronger in the box...no pun intended.

    Makes sense, I could buy the make work aspect. This was about 5 years ago, my boys and I went hiking at Crater Lake and surrounding areas. Fantastic sights.

    [QUOTE="77gators, post: 14616179, member: 39"... So, this will be a battle of who is stronger in the box...no pun intended.[/QUOTE]
    USC - Chance Nolan 4 picks 14-17 L
    Utah - Chance Nolan 2 picks including 1 fot a TD. Chance was injured and Ben Gulbranson took over early in 2nd. BG threw 2 picks both in the redzone. His first significant action and it was on the road at Utah, ouch. Chance stayed injured and then jumped to the portal after the duck game. 16-42 L
    UW - BG no pick but really windy and we couldn't throw. 24-21 L
    UO - BG 2 picks in maybe his worst game so far. His favorite target Gould was out. 38-34 W.

    So with context its almost scarier because our run game is absurd in those close and we won or kept it close despite awful QB play. You would have to watch but the Utah game was more competitive than the score suggests.

    We would love better qb play lo
