Gators vs UT-Martin on ESPNU 7:30PM

Prime time in the swamp. Love it.

Any rumors in the area of game being canceled or rescheduled? I expect an announcement of some kind on Tuesday. I hope all is good and hurricane stays off shore.

Would like to see the offense get in rhythm and see Jones get some playing time .

Yea there is no excuse for a poor game again here. Miami had a great defense and it was the first game of the season so sluggish things happen. Game 2 though we need those shaky things cleared up.

Run offense efficiently.
Have 4-6 big plays
Tackle well in the secondary
Improvement from the right side of the line
Less stupid penalities


That's what I want to see. As long as we win by more than 30 I'm fine. Though scoring under 40 will be a sign of offensive regression because we blew the doors off of these types of teams last year

Watched part of the UT - Martin week one game. We should physical dominate them.

Dr. Pressure going to pull out some weird mad scientist blitzes just to get them on film to make OCs shite their pants. Hopefully the secondary can clean up their shite.

Some quick WR screen passes to get Franks going early. Run heavy with the backups.

I made my annual pilgrimage to the home opener and had a great time. It's hard to believe how much the campus changes every year I go back and the difference from my first Gator home game in 1966 is really hard to even describe.

Positives;
Gator walk, lots of support for the team
Going to the Bookstore to resupply with new Gator stuff
Tailgating, we had a free shaded spot by the union, off Museum Dr. A "go to" location when we arrive early enough.
Improvements to the Swamp, sound systems, food and beverage vendors
Crowd enthusiasm, those of us there, were loud.
Overall team play, much improved from game 1.

Negatives;
Restroom in Swamp, the one I went in was half flooded.
Size of crowd, fact of life I guess
Lack of game stats on scoreboards, used to have stats up the entire game on north end scoreboard.
Lack of room in the stands, hasn't changed, just seems to get tighter every year.

Overall great experience, I love going back to Gainesville for the home openers. This was probably my 40th trip in the last 53 years. I have lived in and driven from Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas and Michigan over the last 5 decades to watch the Gators open the season at home, to see the old sites, sing the old songs and to remember a lifetime of being a Gator! Go Gators!!!

Actually the 1964 game at Jackson, Ms was Spurriers first ever start. Game was on the radio and loved hearing Otis Boggs describe the play by play.

Miss St had a great scatback named Marcus Rhodes I believe and he was nicknamed "road runner" Boggs and his partner bemoaned the fact UF wanted Marcus badly outta high school but his grades weren't good enough for UF....but good enough for tractor driving Miss St. Anyway, a legend was born that night as Spurrier took us down the field late in the 4th qt to edge Moo State. He threw multiple passes to Charlie Casey who stepped out of bounds killing the clock.

I spent every summer in the outskirts of Meridian with aunt and uncle and my uncle Rex was a high school teacher and loved Miss St and hated Ole Miss with a passion. He told me that Ole Miss is where doctors, lawyers and thieves went. I think my last summer there was 1964. My uncle was a typical southerner back and was a member of the Ku Klux Klan...I was pretty quick to speak my mind and tell my uncle he was dead wrong as a 13 yr old in 1960. I still enjoyed every summer there fishing and hunting with him or my aunt.
