  4. Distant Gator rated Matherly87's post Agree in the thread The 2025 SEC thread.

    I think it depends on the game more than the habits of conference officiating. Officials love to say they were on the court for some of...

  6. Distant Gator rated Crusher's post Agree in the thread Spurrier must be thinking where was the 12 team playoff when I coached.

    Definitely it factored, but I think the biggest factor was not wanting to travel to play Ole Miss and Miss St and only wanting to play...

    Agree about Bobby B certainly. But about Bobby Dodd- I think the Chick Graning/ Darwin Holt incident had something to do with it. I...

    Did you really include LSU and Ole Miss as part of the "weakest part of the schedule"? That's an obscenely ignorant and ridiculous...

  9. Distant Gator rated Skink's post Winner in the thread Apparently no OC.

    Ole Miss and LSU and ref$u weren’t the weakest part of our schedule until we beat them. We were supposed to lose all 3 at the start of...

    This already was a tough game. Now IMO its the toughest one of the year. With UT's back against the wall.

  12. Distant Gator rated ocalaman's post Agree in the thread Article: Florida Versus Tennessee (Round Two) Basketball Preview.

    So to continue on my earlier post... 97- 10-2 with a fluky loss to LSU. Final ranking #4. Nebraska and Michigan split the NC. My...

  14. Distant Gator rated GatorPlanet's post Funny in the thread The 2025 SEC thread.

    I think we all need to admit that in-conference, the SEC is simply no better than a .500 league, and I don't see that getting better any...
