I really hope your team has the same approach. It's one thing to think that heading into Troy. It's completely different with Miami.

I agree they stink, but they have good talent and it's an in-state rivalry that will get a lot of press.

Miami will beat FL next year...Mark it down, FL is not use to playing anybody but Central Catholic School for the blind before they play UT....

I'm not willing to go that far in predictions. My only prediction is that Hawaii and Miami will require more game preparation and attention from the Gators than any opponent of UF prior to the UT game since 2001.

Has anyone looked at Georgia's schedule this year? There is no way they come out of it without 2 losses. At SC, At ASU, Bama, Tenn, At LSU, FLA @ Jack, At Auburn. Tough!

as to our schedule, there are at least 2 losses in there. 1 to FL, and several choices for an additional loss.

and the schedule is not easier next year. we get FL and Bama at home, but hit the road for SC, GA and Auburn.

not to mention another trip out west.

as i sit here today, less than a week after losing to LSU, i can see a record anywhere between 10-2 and 8-4.

and it all depends upon whether or not we have a solid qb for next season.

Yep. I said in an earlier thread that Tennessee could be undefeated or lose 4 games.

Its not just the passing game that's the issue, its the running of the offense, the check-offs, the timing, the leadership. Say what you want about Ainge (and I personally believe people have been too harsh), he did run the offense and the players looked to him to be in charge.

It will once again help Florida that the game is so early in the season. Going to be tons of pressure on Crompton in that game.

If it is Crompton I have not seen too much from him.

Gotta have hope man :p

No, I look at this team and I see two losses. If Crompton or Coleman, whichever one it may be, can stretch the field, the offense will be greatly improved.

The defense showed flashes of what it can be towards the end of the season.

But I've learned to never be too optimistic.

#3 and #4 are possibilties but I think we have a decent chance again auburn. Florida is a wait and see game for me. #7 sorry I dont think we lose to Miss St at Home. #9 maybe. #12 Once again I dont see how this happens.. Ky without woodson and at UT.

If the Defense does better next year then all crompton(or whoever is QB) will have to do is not lose it for us.

In the words of the great Mike Lowery (from Bad Boys), "You've got to have faith playa!"

6-6 is a bit of a stretch ... 8-4 would be expected ...

Anyone else miss the glory days of winning 10-11 games a year and expecting nothing less? Now we're predicting 4 to 6 loss seasons ...

If everyone recalls the beginning of this season we were woefully awful on special teams and defense. (Defense is still under speculation but faring better). Suppose we improve on defense and special teams this coming year and we stay margainally the same on offense.

I think we could pull off a good year next year and maybe a great one.

I believe the woman in lawgator's avatar is Lucy Pinder, a British 'model'. I'd recognize those pixels anywhere...

I see 9-3, losses to FLA, AU, and GA.
