    So yeah, they claimed there was a structure and then did whatever. And one game against a conference foe in 12 seasons can't really be considered a serious rotating format anyway. 

    They didn't do whatever.

    They followed the structure for 10 of the 12 years until Texas and Oklahoma joined forcing the rotation to end early.

    And no doubt that 2 games in 12 years sucked ass. It's one of the reasons they pushed the NCAA to end divisional requirements.

    You haven't paid much attention to how the SEC schedules. They do whatever the fuck they want, there is no rotation or format or structure. Texas A&M has played Georgia ONE TIME in 13 seasons.

    There was, in fact, a rotation/structure.

    But since they had to maintain divisions with a 14 team conference, it was a 12 year rotation that had two bridge schedules in 2012 and 2013 before it started was set up for 2014-2025

    https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/sec-releases-future-schedule-rotations-until-2025/

    And just at the time that UGA and A&M were supposed to play their second game, Texas and OU joined which the caused two more bridge schedules in 2024 and 2025 cutting the original rotation 2 years short.

    Of course, they did weird things with the bridge schedules... like Florida/A&M was scheduled in 3 of the 4 bridge schedules as well as added to the 10 game conference schedule in 2020, so counting next season, we will have played the Aggies 6 times since 2012.

    The in-state little brother complex transcends sports. Texas is superior to a&m in all the ways that matter, and from the evidence we've seen, Florida is superior to FSU as well, even if there's greater historical parity on the football field.

    This.

    Just the fact that the rules for FSU's sod cemetery specify it must be a win over a ranked opponent as an underdog or any win in Gainesville.

    So yes, last year when 11-0 FSU beat 5-6 Florida in Gainesville, it was worthy of putting it amongst their greatest road wins.

    And in 2022, when 8-3 FSU beat 6-5 Florida in Tallahassee, the students rushed the field.

    This whole business with leaving the ACC, the attitude amongst their fans has been heavily that it's UF's fault that FSU never got into the SEC even though UF sponsored them since the 1960s and it was FSU that chose to not join the SEC in 1990 when given the chance as they saw it as an opportunity to leapfrog UF by getting to be a big fish in a storm puddle rather than having to play ranked SEC teams every year.

    I’m not saying they aren’t, but what makes FSU the little brother? 

    The Buckman Act in 1905 consolidated the existing schools to create 3 universities in Florida, which made UF the flagship university for White males and was moved to Gainesville.

    What would become FSU was a women's college until the 1950s so historically, they have always been way behind UF academically, athletically, and based on state resources.

    Napier might actually have options in terms of bringing in an OC now that he isn't a dead man walking into next season.  He'll still probably fuck everything up by continuing to call plays.

    It also helps that FSU took themselves out of the OC search pool by hiring Gus Malzhan today.

  7. Last night was fun. It's been several rough years but each year we seem to have a game where The Swamp is at its best and it makes sitting through the rest seem worth while (my golf game is similar where I can expect one good hole per round).

    This year - LSU
    2023 - Tennessee
    2022 - Utah

    It's been great seeing fellow Gators continue to show up every home game and try to will the team to a win.

    That’s basically half of LSU’s entire endowment.

    I'm sure there's a local children't hospital with some extra cash.

    Lagway’s backup did not play well, but I’m sure he’ll look better against Texas with a full week of first string reps. Good news for Ewers is their DB room is banged up so he should have some opportunities down field if he doesnt panic in the pocket and take self sacks 

    He's a PWO who transferred in from Yale.

    The only other QB we've got left is Clay Millen who is on his third stop after Colorado St and Nevada.
