    The Gators tip off their season on the first possible date of the 2023-24 campaign, hosting Loyola Maryland on Monday, Nov. 6.
    The Gators play six power conference opponents during nonconference action – four at neutral sites and one on the road
    – with the Nov. 17 date vs. Florida State highlighting UF's home slate.

    Five opponents will mark the first meeting in series history.

    It is a pretty tough non-conference schedule. I hope we don't lose too many of these before we gel.

    I expect Merrimack to go down with guns blazing.
    We better monitor them. o_O

    The game in Lakeland is interesting. Not sure I remember seeing that announced before.

    The Merrimack was renamed Virginia. Whom we also play.

    I noticed there is not a Big12/SEC Challenge this year.
    Instead, there is an ACC/SEC Challenge game v Wake.
    What's the story behind this change?

    Hopefully we can sink both teams to the bottom of the ocean.

    Either that ACC wanted nothing more to do with the Big 10 (hexidecimal) or the Big 12 is now mostly in other leagues.

    Virginia and Michigan lost a lot, and neither really seems to have improved. If we are even modestly better than last season (as you would expect in year two), then this slate shouldn’t be a killer. Baylor is the only team I would consider appreciably better than us.

    I’m surprised we’ve never played East Carolina before.

    I'm assuming it's going to be at the RP Funding Center, although I can't find any information on it. Very interested in going to that one. Kind of a unique venue compared to where we normally play.

    Coincidentally, Virginia got a major transfer from Merrimack in Jordan Minor. o_O
