#42... I wonder if I were in Vegas how much I can make if I bet on the Gators to go 10-2? I doubt that would be a bet. The Gators would have to win something to garner betting odds. MOTIVATION...
After Georgia, Alabama & maybe LSU, is the SEC really stout? Tennessee is not all that and a bag of chips, imho. It’s a sizable drop off to a bunch of just average teams.
Our SEC opener with Tennessee is going to determine our season IMHO...esp if we lose to Utah. Great opportunity with our home crowd but we could easily lose too.
I've decided to be extremely positive about our upcoming season. First time I've been like this. Until our first loss of course.
Our conference success is gonna be determined by winning our SEC road games IMHO. We have lost 6 of 7 SEC road games over the last 2 years and we need to turn that around. Games against Kentucky, S Carolina and Missouri have to be our main priority this season.
