They are still actually called magazines. Digital magazines, but magazines nonetheless.

"Your mom us doomed"

Hmmmm...well, judging by your grammatical ineptitude, I'd say you are about 12. So, therefore, all I have to say to you is get your toys and go to your room. This is an adult conversation.

I don't, honestly would expect anyone to have 2-3 losses with that kind of schedule

Gotta cut them some slack....not sure if I've ever seen a schedule that brutal...there is absolutley no room for injuries with that difficult of a slate, and that's just one of those things that can go either way.

I think the Gators will be better this year.
Lots of big time names on the schedule but how many of them have better talent than UF does?
I'm still a believer in Coach Napier but he has to show me something starting this year...

The key for the Gators is not let one loss lead to another. To be able to bounce back is key. Because with that schedule it's gonna snowball the wrong way in a hurry.

Every position group is improved this year, we replaced the dead weight coaches. It's a do or die year but the pieces are in place to be a much better team.

Im a lifetime LSU fan ... but Lindy's predictions year after year usually suck and aren't worth the price of the magazine $

I miss getting the latest NCAA game on PS2 and using those magazines to edit in all of the real player names with a USB keyboard.

Unfortunately Billy is still calling plays on offense.

We have better depth than last year but what is our real talent level compared to the better SEC teams? Mullen left us with a boatload of blue chippers that had to transfer or aren't doing that well. I think Devin Moore and Wilson are the only 2 players on our team that a coach would even consider changing the defense or an offensive play call due to them being at their position.

Offense wasn’t the issue last year, but defense. Not saying it couldn’t have been better, but our issues were on the other side of the ball. And special teams.

Sankey did Florida no favors but the Gator's AD should get a 15-yard penalty for piling on. 3 OOC Power 4 teams are crazy with that SEC schedule.


In fairness...and just a guess...their AD didn't know what their SEC schedule would be when he signed the contracts. There's a decent chance he didn't even know Oklahoma and Texas would be joining the SEC. he might have had an idea. (I honestly don't remember when their entrance to the SEC became official...and he probably knew a little while before that) But, to your point, he shouldn't have scheduled 3 P4 teams with an old SEC schedule. So, yeah. You're right.

I have no choice but to conclude the people running the show at UF no longer care about competing with the big dogs.
I’ve been arguing this for years. Got a lot of resistance at first but now other Florida and other teams fans are reaching that same conclusion


I think it is more the case of UCF and USF becoming competitive. Used to be three teams from Florida got all the top Florida talent, now it is five. The newcomers don't get much but it can make a difference, notice that FSU and Miami don't dominate like they used too.

It has been the same problem in Texas. There are too many programs feeding at the same trough. At A&M most players used to be in state players. The year of the number one class I had never seen so many out of state players on an A&M roster.

NIL and super conferences are going to reorder things a bit now.

Four pages and no references to Disney Gators. I’m impressed. Gators have the talent to compete with everyone on the schedule. It remains to be seen if they can.

Barring a huge upset I don't think we have the talent to compete with GA and TX this year. Maybe the other teams but nothing on our starters list really sticks out except Wilson if he takes that next step. I think even KY had more players on the preseason all SEC lists. We do have experience and hopefully that makes some difference.

All depends on who’s calling the offensive plays and whether or not their defensive coordinator is a step up from last season.

If Napier is calling the offensive plays then they’re fricked. He called some of the most boneheaded plays last season that cost UF games they should have won.

Where do they have LSU's D-line ranked? I think UF's will be a little stronger than theirs.
