Very disappointing end to the season. On to football.

Bats got cold last night but this team still has me more excited about the postseason than I thought I would be. Pitching has really come around and except for last night the bats have been pretty hot. Now we wait til Monday and find out where we're heading.

They will have to get by Napiers play calling and game management

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.

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

Hot damn, took 2 out of 3 at Texas, Gators continue to warm up, almost getting hot at the right time.

What if the top 5 players are all from a state and dream of playing for the local school

What if the top 20 NFL stars all dreamed of playing for one team and the owner of said team could afford $50 million salaries for all 20? That'd be super fun to watch, right?

Of course all of this would have to be governed by some kind of CBA, which would be fun to watch play out. There are plenty of kids playing CFB that aren't making 6-7 figures so you'd think they would have the numbers to get something done.

If it were me making the decision, 8 wins MAY keep him, depending on who those wins are against and how the season plays out. 9 wins probably gets the Gators into the playoff with their schedule so it's a very fine line between scorching hot seat/possibly fired and playoff appearance.

Crazy that even after that post we lost 2 of 3 to Ole Miss and got swept by Vandy, then things turned around and we beat FSU for the season series win and went on a 12-2 run to get where we are now. Still not a lock but if we can win a couple/few more regular season SEC games we should keep playing in June.

UF is playing now, just FYI. Not sure where D1 got the 4:00 start time.

A sweep this weekend against USCe would definitely put us in a good spot. At this point I honestly would be surprised if we can take 1 from Texas at Texas, but they may be riding too high and be overconfident and we can smack them in the mouth. We can hope Bama coming into Gainesville is looking forward to the SEC tournament. I'm surprised we're in a good a spot as we are but we still have a tough road ahead to keep playing after the SEC tournament.

Gators take game 1!!!!
