I don't know, they might could beat the 1920 Muncie Flyers. They lost the only NFL game they played that year 45-0. Plus those guys are all DEAD now.

Where is Urban Meyer on that list? He has two national championships compared to Spurrier's one

Urban > Steve. Although most Gators are too butthurt to admit it. It is painful seeing him as a Buckeye, but he led the greatest run in Florida history.

I like 'em. Assuming we couldn't get Va Tech or UNC. It expands the conference into fertile recruiting territory and gives us a team that is usually good but not so great they make it impossible to win. In other words, they are the eastern equivalent of A&M.

I was going to say it's silly to be scared of UAB and Troy, but then I remembered what happens when you guys play Southern Miss or UCF or Louisiana-Monroe.

I think this will be a fun season for the Gators. First of all, college football is always fun. If you aren't having fun, you are doing something wrong. Of course, we probably will not be national championship contenders. But we definitely have a shot at winning the East. We'll be underdogs, but there is no reason we can't do it. Beating Georgia and maintaining our dominance over them is a huge goal. Beating Kentucky and extending our streak over them will be important. Pulling off an upset against a highly ranked team is certainly not out of the question, especially at home.

I don't think we'll be great, but I don't think that we'll be so bad that we'll go into any game (even at LSU) feeling hopeless. And the beauty of college football is that, no matter what's happened in the season so far, every game is an event, every game is a battle to be won for it's own sake.

I've heard the NIBROC festival is amazing.

Really though, Strong was nothing special. The only thing he proved was that he could take 5 star talent and usually turn it into solid defense. About what you would expect. Nothing more, nothing special.

I vehemently disagree with this. Charlie Strong was one of the best defensive coordinators of all time.

A) Who do you think recruited that five-star talent?

B) Just watch the tape of our two national title games. Dominant defenses. If all it took was five star talent, USC would have won five or six titles in the past decade. Charlie Strong was able to put that talent into the right place to make plays. We completely shut down some very good offenses. Oklahoma averaged over FIFTY points a game in 2008 and we shut them down. In 2006 we were almost completely reliant on our defense, yet we managed to go 13-1 and win the national title.

I would like to see another defensive coordinator who has done as impressive a job as Charlie Strong did in his years at Florida.

I'm sure your question is not serious, but the serious answer is that Jeremy Foley thought Will Muschamp was the best available coach. He knows more about these things than any of us.

Here's why Tim Higgins is trending...

That is idiotic. Just because his foot was not on the line at one point doesn't mean it never was. He clearly stepped on the line. I thought Grant was complaining that he got pushed out of bounds, but I was watching without sound. But people whining about the refs is almost always lame.

No SEC regular season champ has failed to make the Tourney since it expanded to 32 in 1975- and it wont happen this year either

True, but there has never been such an unbalanced year in the SEC. I could definitely see a scenario where Bama wins the regular season title outright, but they are in the NIT while five East teams go dancing.
