Spring games should just turn into Fan Appreciation days. Make it a spectacle like Mullen used to do. Have the real scrimmage behind closed doors.

No, we have 3 months with nothing to talk about, at least we can discuss how great we looked against ourselves in the spring game.

“Once we didn’t necessarily get the call to be one of the prime spots, I think we felt like, ‘Hey, what are the advantages and disadvantages?’ So, gives us the freedom to just call everything,” Napier said. “We also felt like we’d get better attendance. People want to see the show. In general, couldn’t have asked for a better day.”
With the game not on TV, more fans did attend. The announced crowd was 56,563, which marked the largest since 2009 and fourth largest spring game attendance since 1984.
The UF men’s basketball team celebrated its national title in The Swamp, which increased the turnout. Napier said the hoops halftime celebration also impacted the TV decision.

Fairly good for a couple of years. Maybe you forgot. Mullen's recruiting and loyalty to coordinators was his downfall.

You are missing the point. If the choice is to have a televised game or not have a televised game, I'd rather they televise something even if it's fluff. If their concerns is portal poaching then save the real shite for behind closed doors but still give the fans something to talk about.

So we agree, I thought the game should have been streamed and shown on SEC Network whenever time permits.

It's another case of fans supporting the team, coaches. Hope for the best and yell Go Gators whenever you can. Go Gators!!!

You have to give Credit to Napier
Since he became HC
there has not been much news about players getting arrested or in trouble,
Let's see how this gets handled

This team is way overrhyped. Based on many people's expectations, the fans will likely be busting out the pitchforks by the second week of October unless Billy really does breakthrough and wins 11 games this year.

This team has potential. They will have to get by Napiers play calling and game management but if they can, the sky is the limit as long as Lagway stays healthy.

I agree, but think we may have a team that's up to the challenge This is something I think that coaches get more credit for than they deserve. Not saying I haven't scratched my head time and time again because of Napier's play calling and game management but I think a well built, talented team will rely on those things way less than we have recently. A mediocre team will NEED those decisions to be spot on, a team that's got talent and playmakers will make things happen even if those decisions aren't spot on to the situation.

Lagway stays healthy
This is KEY! Our season will go well as long as Lagway is healthy and playing at 100%.

I still don't have enough faith in Napier's game day coaching/play calling to expect them to realize that potential.
