    Who would Florida be matched up in the Gasparilla Bowl?

    Yes we do. We also post on UF football forums. I'm simply stating I find it surprising many games have an audience justifying the expense, I really can't imagine that many people will take time to watch Memphis play UF. I sure wouldn't take the time to watch FSU vs Memphis, for example.

    I still think there are too many bowl games.

    Would love the Vegas bowl as I can attend. Granted I don’t care much about any of the outcome of these games. Key for me is that CBN develops the players with these practices

    Yeah, I would have to agree with you on some of them. I’m just such a diehard fan I am alway looking to watch our team. I think what your saying is true for schools without major fan bases. Most of the sec travels well. Same w big ten but lots of others don’t travel. If time I’d love to go to watch Memphis play UF but like i said im a diehard fan. Game would maybe get 25-30,000 if lucky. Gasiarilla would probably get 40-50 w UF.

    This is my pick. Would be better if we were better. But, I love the matchup. When do we play Pac12? Answer: Never!!

    Go Gators.

    Liberty bowl is one of the oldest bowl games and we've never played in it.

    Just no more big 10 teams...they suck.

    I don’t think we match up well with Baylor. That would be a tough out for us. Depends on which team shows up

    Just a few hours old:


    ReliaQuest Bowl
    Monday, January 2, 2023
    12:00, ESPN2
    Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL
    Last Year: Arkansas 24, Penn State 10
    Bowl Ties: SEC vs Big Ten or ACC
    Bowl Projection: Florida vs Illinois


    Would be a major win to play in this bowl with our record.

    And so does the SEC and UAA. The money helps pay for all of thr nice things Gator athletics has that are taken for granted by most.

    They are there to enjoy in person or on TV. You can choose to be miserable and smug if you want.
