    It can’t be if teams have .3 and .7? You need three games to get a third fraction

    For those that have not noticed, UF is doing well nationally in numerous statistical categories. Defense really jumps out.
    Thank you players and coaches!

    Guess these stats and “data” don’t fit Matt’s selection criteria either

    And this folks is why we don't overreact to the 1st game of the season. So much for being undisciplined as some swore after week one. CBN teams are generally disciplined. His progression from year one to year two at Louisiana was superb and we may be seeing the same thing here.

    I think refs are humans and have feelings. Sometimes being nice to them and treating them as people help. Napier doesn’t yell and scream at them. Just a theory.

    This is why businesses that are successful do not let marketing and HR do math.

    Just imagine how few penalties we'll have when George isn't on the OL for the first half this week. o_O

    Nothing worse than fans complaining about refs during Muschamp's tenure while nearly every Saturday he was literally spitting in the ref's faces. And he even had the audacity to complain about ADVERSITY ON THE FIELD.
