Didn't wanna spoil anything but yah since you already said it Roland, possible the most famous winner, fits that mold exactly.

Also I can think of a bunch of young single guys who were great survivalists tap out cause they couldn't handle the social isolation. Breaks a ton of contestants.

Lots of very good survivalists tap out cause they can't handle the mental aspect. It what makes the show one of the best on TV imo. You're battling your own mind as much as the elements/nature.

Not true there has been at least one winner who fits this description. Was one of the best seasons too. I won't give names to spoil anything for people.

Alone is the best show on TV

Strips humanity down to it's bare bones. Highly entertaining.

New season starts in a couple weeks.

If you've never seen alone go watch last season (11) and you'll be hooked.

re: Federal court halts bulk of tariffs

Lots of items have already increased in price due to tariffs. They won't be going back down even if tariffs stay blocked.

So we get tariff price increases without the tariffs too.

What a shiteshow this whole thing has been.
Lots of good players dropping out of draft for that NIL money. If you can't get a 100% 1st round guarantee might as well.

6'11 Viktor Mikic will likely get garbage minutes over Rioux. Heard the staff is high on him and he didn't hit the portal so I'd be surprised if he doesn't see the court a bit next year.

Oli probably won't start seeing the court until the 26-27 season.

Should be the best offensive rebounding team in UF history with Haugh at the 3. We will be terrifying on the boards.

Comes down to how well Fland and Lee pan out for the b2b.

Didn't pay much attention to Fland last year so no real comment yet.

I think Condon coming back (or not) next year is honestly a bigger factor to our success. If he does come back we will have an absolutely otherworldly team on the glass with Haugh at the 3.
2001 was Spurrier's best offense. 96 was just a more well rounded team. Much more depth.

But with a healthy Earnest Graham I'd take our 2001 offense over any other offense in UF history.
Nebraska.. Was close for a quarter and then we couldn't even tackle them.

Reading this thread.. Spurrier definitely laid some epic best downs on LSU in the 90s. Definitely the wrong decade to be down lol.
Dunno if the bottom is in or not but I do think it'll be very bumpy the rest of the year.

Prices increases and some inflation will ramp up a bit if 10% tariffs are here to stay. Inflation may not be bad but we've been fighting inflation for several years now, even if it only goes up 1% the market will not like it at all.

Haven't really felt the impact of the China trade war yet.

Job reports are gonna get real ugly here soon. I work at a global bank and I've been looking at internal jobs because my manager sucks, internal listings were cut by 40% in the last 2 weeks alone. That's likely happening at every big company.

Still a lot more bumps to come this year imo.

I think a lot of people don't realize how crazy Q3 has the potential to be. I hope I'm wrong and it was just a hiccup, but what I'm seeing in regards to my industry is that we'll start seeing things get a little wonky towards the end of June.


I think job reports are going to start getting incredibly ugly in the coming months. I work for a huge worldwide bank and they've slashed 40% of their job listings in the past 2 weeks. I imagine similar is going on at most big companies.
UK fans you'll just have to embrace the hate. It's not like you're doing anything illegal.

It's just eye opening that you're spending around what Ohio State paid for it's natty in football.. except for 13 players not 85. So expect it to come up a lot.

It is what it is though. I'm sure this will eclipsed soon in coming years by another team lol.
Paying Aberdeen 2.2 mil to come off the bench is absolutely wild.

re: Jon Rothstein Preseason Top 45

Interesting.

All these 3 guard lineups are why I'm stoked about Haugh at the 3.

Chinyelu/Condon/Haugh could be one of the best offensive rebounding frontcourts in a very long time.

We may not shoot as well as last year but we're going to absolutely obliterate the boards.

Well, it makes sense to have two, so probably just one game in Gainesville. They’ll probably make Kentucky play Arky twice and Florida plays Auburn twice. Do you think Florida can repeat?


I think I'm more bullish on our roster than most Gator fans. IMO Haugh at the 3 next year is gonna be an absolute handful for most teams. We'll have 3 of the best offensive rebounders in the country on the floor most of the game. We crushed everyone on the boards when only 2 of them were on the floor at once this year.

If Lee is as advertised and we can get solid production out whatever SG we put on the floor I think our roster will have the potential to repeat. It's highly unlikely but the potential is there IMO (unless Condon stays in the draft or we lose another player unexpectedly).

UF vs UK will definitely have some extra juice next year now, should be fun.

UK is stacked.. our frontcourt is stacked plus Lee. Do we get 2 regular season games next year?

re: Denzel Aberdeen to UK.

Posted by SM1010 on 4/21/25 at 2:55 pm
UK gonna pay Aberdeen 2 mil to be a bench player and play 15 mins a game?

Doesn't sound logical. But I guess if UK is actually spending 20+ mil on its roster it's certainly possible.
UK is paying the 7th man off our bench 2 mil next year.

Wild times in college sports.

re: Denzel Aberdeen to UK.

Posted by SM1010 on 4/21/25 at 12:57 pm
Apparently UK offered him 2 mil, so no real surprise we wouldn't pay that.

Also hearing UK is spending 20+ mil on its roster next season. That's wild.
