Genuinely, if it wasn’t already clear ESPN and College GameDay have an agenda against Florida, let this be the final confirmation. You have the first ranked Florida Georgia matchup in six years, one of the biggest rivalries in college football, with massive playoff and SEC implications, and you actively choose Minnesota at Indiana instead??? There is absolutely no universe where that is the better game or the bigger national storyline. At this point it’s not even subtle.

I will NEVER forget them going to Florida @ Miami last year when we were 1–2, on a two game losing streak, and everyone knew the Napier era was dead. They knew an elite Miami team was probably going to embarrass us, yet THAT was when they wanted the national spotlight on Florida. It felt like they were showing up to celebrate our downfall and rub it in with the added bonus that “U Was Back” as per usual). Now Florida is finally back, playing a ranked Georgia in a massive rivalry game, and suddenly they’d rather be at Minnesota Indiana. Give me a break.

hello gator fans! i thrifted this visor with two autographs and want to try to figure out who’s on the left??? the one on the right i’ve determined is Fred Weary. it looks like it starts with a V and i see the number 16. only 16 starting with a V would be Vernell Brown II but idk, is it his signature??? let me know pls!

You've slept on it. Pour some coffee and have a seat. Let's talk about the week's game(s).

We are the most penalized SEC team over a 20 year period.

The first chart just shows annual penalty rankings (so many years at 1).

But the second is pretty wild. Florida has accumulated 270 penalties above the FBS average, more than double second place.

That’s only about one extra penalty per game, but sustained over 20 years, it really adds up.

Includes all current SEC teams, even before they joined.

Edit: I copied it direct from his post spelling issues and all. I even attributed it right there at the end.

I feel like it's Texas to keep them from falling further in the rankings but maybe it doesn't matter?

Although I think it's good for us the SC beat Tennessee.

TIME TO ACTIVITY!!! DISCUSS!

Post your pics, memes, screenshots, etc here. Make your small talk about GameDay, the game, your tailgate (or living room) setup, food and drinks for the day, your gameday jorts, or anything else.

This is also your Game Thread for any other games around the country this weekend. Talk with your fellow Gators about what you're watching and who you're rooting for.

Huge pickup for the Men’s side as they look to compete with Texas for the SEC & National Championship.

No Gators football tomorrow, which means we have an entire Saturday to imagine how things could go wrong. Why wait? Welcome to the Doomer Thread.

This is the place for your bleakest takes about the team, the coaches, playcalling, recruiting, and the general condition of the universe. The sky is falling, and frankly, its tackling technique is terrible.

You may quote facts or make them up. We’re not picky. Alternate facts from our impending doom will be deleted. In this thread, that means optimism, silver linings, and suggestions that things might actually be okay aren't allowed. Take those to the Sunshine Pumper Thread.

The Gators cannot lose tomorrow. The turnaround is already underway.

Welcome to the Sunshine Pumper Thread, where the future is bright, every recruit is a silent commit, and every questionable coaching decision is simply too advanced for us to understand yet.

Bring your most relentlessly optimistic takes about the team, the coaches, recruiting, and our inevitable return to glory.

You may quote facts or make them up. We’re not picky. Alternate facts from the truth we will soon have a natty will be deleted. In this thread, that means negativity, doom, and any sentence beginning with “Yeah, but…” Take those to the Doomer Thread.

Finally, finally the team turned around at Texas. Took two and a half games almost. They finished blocks, blitzes and played with the level of effort needed to succeed in the SEC. Then again, Texas may be so bad that other than the one game against Ohio State (like even when we were down, what we've done to Georgia in the past or what we did last year to Texas). Do you believe that our efforts will become more consistent in the second half of the season? Will we be aggressive throughout? Will the defense play calling continue the changes that started at the South Carolina game? This may well be the real factor determining our final record. (I still go with the 9-3 projection, 8-4 is the floor.)
