    And our 2nd string TE from last year is playing for UCF now. Can't remember his name but saw him when UCF was on TV last weekend.

    Couldn’t agree more. Some think that’s overrated and I completely disagree. The ability to inspire, motivate, fire a team up is huge and needed of your going to be good to great. Not a Jimbo fan but he’ll be way fired up. Hoping Billy knows 1-5 in SEC is unchartered territory in last 20 years.

    My feeling is in the past few years we have resurrected dying programs when we could have put them out of their misery. This game will be no different. Not until I see a difference in how we recruit and sustain that and then build off of that. I want to see the fire in this team, but we will fall short of beating A&M and that will save their season. I just don't think we have enough firepower on offense to match them point for point and timely mistakes will be enough for A&M to win the game. Defensively, we improved against Georgia but will it be enough to slow down A&M? A&M's game plan is simple, stop the run and force AR to throw and run and we know how much of a glass cannon he is. Might be a good game to get Kitna a few possessions.

    Toney is too conservative. Worried about Achane. Gotta pressure the young qb.

    None of us knows what he says behind the closed locker room doors.

    When they beat Utah (I think) it was captured with him yelling, "How 'bout them Gators?"

    There are more ways to motivate than to scream and jump around.

    I like watching the series about Coach Napier's process, The Journey, latest episode:

    I guess more will be revealed soon enough. But Napier managed to motivate the troops for the second half of the Georgia game. Not enough to win but if he got that out of the troops in the first half too, suddenly the loss is a close game...

    Winning this weekend would be an amazing morale builder. Here's to the kids rising to the occasion.

    Go Gators.

    Our defense can't stop anybody and while their defense is not very good I don't think our offense will be consistent enough to score with them. I see a fairly easy win for the Jimboettes.

    Gators upset the Aggies
    “Nobody who has watched either of these teams play can have a ton of faith in either. The difference? Florida is 3-1 this season in 1-possession games, while A&M is 2-4 (including its past 3 games). Which seems odder, A&M nearly beating Bama or Florida playing within a score of Tennessee? At the end of the day, this feels like a close game, and as noted above, that inherently favors the Gators. AR-15 leads a 2-minute drive to win this one, 28-24, and every Aggies fan you know can tell you exactly how much Jimbo Fisher’s buyout is.”

    A bold prediction for every Week 10 SEC game
