    Unfortunately my taste for beers is in the Imperial Stout category. So plowing through those hits me faster than my cautious bourbon drinking.

    Whew, I was afraid someone here would slip up and say they drink Bud Light.

    A couple of 9% Double IPA's will do the trick, but I'm a lightweight (figuratively) now :(

    Who free lanced against his OC, which led to two 4 INT games which were losses.

    9% is too much for me. The beer takes on a different taste at that level.

    Interesting test to try the Dogfish 70 against the Dogfish 90. Different taste

    There is nuance. A typical Y3 at Florida should be competing for a top 10ish spot in the nation.

    Given the schedule and what he inherited that’s a stretch. But there is still some expectation. 6-6 with a win at a crappy bowl for 7-6 is more than a reasonable expectation. I think and hope we do better than that.

    Having no expectations this year is just as crazy as having top 5 expectations

    In the sense that he clearly means, anyone who implies that this year doesn’t count (because Mullen was so bad three years ago) and Napier should get a fourth season no matter what.

    I (might) be able to handle that, with a bit of a stagger when I get up though.
    My alcohol consumption is pretty light these days.

    Finebaum believes the outcome of two of Florida's first three games will be crucial. If the Gators lose the first game to Miami, he will lose all optimism for the season.
    "Florida has to win against Miami and Texas A&M," Finebaum said. "I think a win vs. Miami, and there's enthusiasm, there's excitement and there's I hope and I think
    that that can translate to a winning season, but a loss there and I have no optimism whatsoever."

    I don't think Paul is too far off, Should our Gators start 1 - 2 (with the 2 L's at home................ well), you won't see me on the board much.
    But THAT, ain't gonna happen!

    We aren’t making the playoffs with 4 losses. How some have talked themselves into believe that is….interesting.
