The future..

The guys that run to the portal cuz their coach is a meanie are the ones who get trucked by running backs.

 

We would find ways to lose the most important games that wouldn't have been believable even in Hollywood. Also didn't survive the Auburn, Georgia & Kentucky gauntlet in November each year very well.

 

My first game was in Jacksonville and Wes Chandler scored a touchdown and dunk over the goal post and hurt himself. Then Georgia won.

 

According to 27/7 we have the 11th highest blue chip ratio in the country. On that list, we are by far the worst peforming team (depending on your opennion of A&M). I do not think the talent argument flys here. Now if we want to say they are young or underpeforming, that is a different conversation.

 

I’m looking forward to adding the 2024 recruits to our roster.

 

I'm looking forward to our 2022 and 2023 recruits growing up.

 

My first game was against Kentucky in 1967. Harmon Wages was the QB. Ran across the field to get to the locker room to see the players come out after the game. Some real nice man gave me a pen so I could get autographs. Watching the highlight show the next day and it turns out that man was Harmon Wages Father.
I think the Gators won 28-12?

 

Last year was the throw away year. Hoping to get into a bowl should never be a year 2 goal at UF.

 

Yeah, but even then if we just had a modest improvement on defense from Grantham we would have had a pretty successful year. I don't believe any year has to be a throw away and it definitely shouldn't be considered that by a coaching staff. Maybe it's just semantics because you know youth and new players will have issues but a coach is supposed to adapt and overcome along the way. People will be forgiving if games are lost as long as they see a cogent plan and improvements along the way.

 

By "talent" I'm referring to performance not recruiting metrics.
Kentucky is great example.

 

Six wins never is a goal. Six chi mod makes some teams happy but not here.

 

Star? Lol, how bout playing football

 

As i have said before UF has as much talent (much more than Kentucky) as most SEC schools has. The issue its coaching, bad coaching from the top and now that Napier has refused to give up play calling the future (win wise) isnt bright.

 

Urban doesn’t do chill.

 

Spent some time with Harmon when he returned to Jacksonville in the mid 80’s. He had some great UF stories, particularly about THBC and the development of Gatorade. A good guy, Norville really messed him up though.

 

Montrell will be number one this week. ETN is questionable.

 

My first game at the Swamp was FSU, 1967, I think. An adult neighbor hoisted me over wall at the north end zone, then he clambered over.

 

I’ll bet he does Netflix and chill tho

 

And some those unexpected losses were to Vandy and Kentucky on cool Fall days. The worse for me was NC State. While rolling up over 500 yards of offense a bushel baskets of fumbles lead to a loss, 8-7 I believe. It was a long time ago.
