Just wait until you see who was added to the Legends class from Oklahoma.

Didn't Saban say he had to inspire his players to get up for Auburn because the series is lopsided like Texas vs Aggy? They view Tenn as their rivals.
Alabama/Tennessee is the older and traditionally bigger rivalry. Actual historic winning percentage is similar, I think

A huge Gator alumni friend posted "Welcome to the SEC" to his social media. WTF - GA is and always has been Florida's biggest rival. Seems to me the equivalent of UF moving to the Big 12, and 7 games into the season and clearly a good team, getting embarrassed at home by OU. There is zero chance any us us would proclaim "Welcome to the Big 12." But, SEC, SEC, SEC.... Fuck that shit. And, fuck OU!
That's fucking weird. I don't know a single gator who was pulling for Georgia this weekend.

If they name this after Rudy "Fucking" Ruettiger I am out. That movie was shit and the dude is an asshole.
But the name is appropriate.
They're going to come in, contribute nothing, and then profit off of it for decades.

Yeah, these refs suck.
I guess the SEC should thank us for taking them instead of one of the games that matters this week.

3. BIG has wanted UNC and UVA for a long time. Adding those two plus the FL schools would eliminate the ACC as a viable conference for ND's other sports.
Wouldn't that go against key aspects of The Alliance™?

I agree that Stricklin has not been great (hard to follow Jeremy Foley.) But I think you forgot he hired Todd Golden. Who at this point looks to be a Billy Donovan starter kit.I agree that Golden looks good and we're trending in a positive direction, but he hasn't won anything yet. I didn't feel the need to mention every coach where the jury is still out.

Florida needs to figure out if they're set on keeping Stricklin as AD first....
We're in the middle of a president search.
Fuchs stepped down in 2022 and DeSantis forced in Sasse, a politician from Nebraska with almost no educational experience.
He lasted 18 months before stepping down and they're now dealing with tens of millions of missing dollars that he apparently handed out to his friends.
Fuchs is back in as an interim.

UF will have to do a reset. There is no combination of coordinator shifts or lower-level coaching changes that will salvage this. They are hiring tier 2 coordinators fired for poor performance at the likes of Baylor. They're doomed until the reset occurs.
Mullen was really bad at hiring assistants. He kept going to the well with some of the same guys that worked with him before, left and failed elsewhere.
We found out later that it's just that he was really an unlikable person so the only people who would work with him were the same people who knew they could put up with him or had failed elsewhere and at least were going to get a better paycheck.
I honestly don't know what we'll find out with Napier. He came in with the demand for an open checkbook, hired 100 staffers, but then just kept hiring friends from his wedding party as assistant coaches.

After Steve Spurrier left, Florida has had:
1. Three seasons with Ron Zook.
2. Six seasons with Urban Meyer - Two National Championships
3. Four seasons with Will Muschamp.
4. Three seasons with Jim McElwain.
5. Four seasons with Dan Mullen.
6. Three seasons with Mark Napier.
I wonder if the admins ever think "gee, maybe it's us."
The administration changed between #4 and #5.
Jeremy Foley was considered one of the best ADs in the country and made a ton of great hires across the board in athletics and is a major reason why UF has the streak of 30+ years finishing in the top 10 in the all-sports rankings, though it could be argued that he never made a good one for football. Spurrier was one of the last hires that Arnsparger made before returning to the NFL, and it's arguable that Meyer's hire was directed and made happen by then-president, Bernie Machen who had just come from Utah the year before.
Stricklin has been the AD since 2016 and he brought Mullen with him from Miss St. and of all of the hires, the only one that's been successful has been Nesty, our swimming coach.
He's also made two spectacularly bad coaching hires in women's basketball and soccer. Both who not only never won, but were fired over abuse accusations.

I mean wtf did the gator fans expect, they had an over under season win total of 4. if you see that before the season, just fucking accept its gonna suck, and ride out the season, or you should have fired him during the summer.
I think I said something before the season, it's not really what the record is. It's how the team is performing and how the recruiting class is coming together.
The end result of the season probably doesn't change, but if the PTB have an actual strategy that in spires the current players and recruits to stay committed, that's when you would need to act. But that's a big IF. I haven't heard of any homerun hires out there that can stabilize the program between now and when they step on campus.

You came out of the half needing a spark, and Lagway provided that on his first series.
Instead of trying to build momentum off of that, he sat out the next series.
I knew you guys were done after that.
Sounds about right. The game is a blur, between the lightning delay, the rain, and maybe too many beers.

Yesterday could have gone better. I'd have to go back and rewatch now that I'm home -- but I don't want to -- but I think Napier was just swapping out QBs every series, nothing based on their play. Mertz seemed to be doing well but kept getting pulled. Our running game sucks. Johnson is a good RB, there's just no OL push.

There gotta be a contractual issue I’m missing. Going to 6 instead of 8 right now doesn’t make sense.
How long is Stanford and Cal tied to the ACC?
Just spitballing here, but potential for a lawsuit from the MWC?
Considering that the Pac2 had been talking and negotiating with the MWC, I could see them argue some sort of utilizing confidential knowledge to break the MWC apart. -

So it’s Texas’ fault the b12 had a perception problem.
That's pretty much how every conference save the SEC has been looked at. They have 1 or 2 banner programs that they depend on for perception and if they are down, the whole conference looks down.
The SEC's run has been directly related to the fact that it has had more than 1 or 2 banner programs: Bama, UGA, Florida, LSU, and Auburn have all won. Tennessee and Aggie have the resources even if they have not won. Florida, Auburn and LSU have also had down periods during this run but it didn't hurt the perception since Bama and UGA were still winning.

Can you even imagine the SEC angst if Texas were to beat UGA three times this season?

Texas could beat Georgia who beats Ole Miss. All three win out, otherwise.
Texas plays Georgia.
Right but not everyone else could win out.

I'm also disappointed that Florida isn't receiving more votes after beating a FCS team.
I will only do my SEC chant at half volume today.

Mertz has done well at Florida. I think most expected/hoped that we would see Lagway in some fashion this year to let him ease into it.
We may not have much of a choice if our OL is not going to be capable of protecting the QB.

I miss ilovelocalcommercials.
I never was able to get into their other stuff after they stopped that channel.
