    Were all the people booing Napier at the Swamp earlier this season trolls too? What about the boosters who sprung all that cash to buy him out? Trolls? Unworthy Gator fans and alumni?

    Meh. FSpooo’s traditional whipping boy. But Go Gators. Get the win. We need a bowl game win to carry into next season.

    The extra practices will be valuable for Lagway. He's at a level where he will benefit regardless of the quality of coaching he's getting.

    Exactly. Females dominate almost all schools these days. UF is 57% female now. FSU 58%. I teach at USF (57% female), and all my senior level classes end up around 80% female.

    All the guys from the 23 and 24 classes will benefit. CBN said the young players will get to play more than thay have. The overall experience of post season play is nothing but favorable for setting up next year.

    UF vs. Tulane is the warmup to the 1st playoff game:

    College Football Playoff schedule
    Friday, Dec. 20

    [​IMG][​IMG]No. 10 Indiana @ No. 7 Notre Dame

    Notre Dame Stadium (South Bend, Indiana)
    8 p.m., ABC/ESPN

    The game will have viewership. I also like the old SEC vs. SEC angle. Bring it on Tulane.

    Tulane's QB is in the portal. I assume that means he is not playing in the bowl?

    There was one projection in the OP's reference that predicted the Liberty Bowl against TT. The OP took that as an announcement vice a prediction.

    I heard that at least one 2025 early enrollee will also be participating in the practices. Didn't even know that was a thing. If so, that helps, too.

    Hopefully it's also the warmup to our first playoff game in 2025, too.

    He can call 2024 a redshirt year because he'll only be practicing for one game. He should be able to even play in the game and only burn his redshirt. It's probably going to be a new trend, especially if upperclassmen opting out of bowl games continues to create holes in the roster.

    We will also have 2024 redshirts play as the game counts forward to 2025. Who do we have that you'd like to have seen play in 2024? These guys are eligible to play against Tulane.
