Finebaum is a JERK (I am avoiding expletives), and I was unfazed by his comments! In my opinion, Napier has the pieces to make progress. The big "if," will they execute on offense and will there be hard-nosed defense? I hope for the Gators sake, the offense and defense provide shock and awe! That's a wish not an expectation. If Lagway mostly plays, I expect we will have a respectable record (i.e. 9-3). For the Gators to have a 9-3 record, the defense will have to play at the level of the latter part of the 2024 season. I truly hope the Gators continue to be disrespected, and they play with a chip on their shoulders! My 2cts! Your thoughts? Add AI to the list of entities that lack faith in Florida Football in 2025
He bleeds Bama. I think he is based in Charlotte, hardly SEC country. Bama has enough questions, Paul. Maybe you should spend more time with them, and We'll worry about UF. I swear every time i see those ears, I think of a taxi going down the street with its doors open.
Neither link is a beer for Paul Finebaugh. I typically do not agree with Hail Florida Hail, but at least they are not drinking the Kool-Aid. The YouTube link below is a measured take, and they think UF could fare well!
IMO, the season for Napier will be based pretty much on the transcendency of Lagway and an unfettered Roberts defense. A minor, but important, point will be whether Napier listens to Callaway and his concepts at the correct moments in a game or will he decide that shooting himself (Napier) is a noble pursuit of whatever excellence he is imagining. After that, Ears is a non-issue. He is trying to figure out a life without his Saban shrine. And right now, he is damn pathetic. He is now getting, if not down right owning the space entirely, into Bianchi territory. Kind of sad really.
It doesn't matter what anyone says. We're going to do whatever we're going to do. I believe there is good reason for cautious optimism (but I have been wrong before).
Finebaum is a total hack. He's a two-bit insult comic whose specialty is vicious cheap shots at people who, for better or worse, are actually relevant in the upper reaches of SEC sports. FTR, I personally find F'baum's ongoing struggle to be "relevant" too banal and irksome to watch. So, I don't.
Finebaum craps on every team in the SEC so their fans call into his pathetic show. That's the only way he stays employed.
Negativity? It's been a long time since the Gators have been this optimistic about "next year". Dude's a tool, screw him.
Both of you are mistaken if you thought you would be clicking on Finebaugh. That's almost as intolerable as congratulating Free Shoes University for anything. There are a few who are disagreeing somewhat with Finebaugh. This post was to generate comments to weigh in or your thoughts!
Thank you- my bad on the confusion. I've been talking about it. This is a heck of team. The jump started the last four games of last year and they're clearly building on that. I want to see what the team looks like after the spring portal before I make exact declarations.
Speaking of spring – aren’t we in the middle of spring practice? Why can’t I find progress reports anywhere?
They were off last week for spring break. Yesterday was the pro day, so no spring info. They have their first scrimmage tomorrow. We should get some good info from that.
