So now you're on the Saban bandwagon cool... After years of hating him now he is the greatest thing since sliced bread... I see what we do, we Cherry pick when to love and hate Saban.View attachment 789506

He is the Devil as far as I'm concerned and I can prove the case.

Source may be crap, but do we think there's any truth?

Josh has been pretty big about culture his entire time here. It would be surprising to say the least.

 

[Carp]

I don't care how bad Florida has been playing. This is going to be a tough game and Josh will deserve a lot of credit if we win.

I think we boat race them.

Why would Elander leave when he is the HC? He isn't taking a pay cut to be a bench coach in the majors.

No carp, Sherlock

It's rare for anyone to easily win in Gainesville. I'll be thrilled with a win of any kind.

It would appear his Sarc-o-meter 5000 is malfunctioning.

How long before Tony calls me?!?!?

Sheesh the nerve of that guy!

Can't take em nowhere without em embarrassing you.

Is that the motivation Josh uses?

Gentleman, let’s focus on this game. Let’s go into Gainesville and kick some Gators and you will be remembered fondly like the 22 team was for breaking the Alabama streak.

UCLA won 10 championships in 12 years in basketball!
What does that have to with This year? Not a damn thing. Just like how many championships the SEC won in the last 30 years.

The only thing that is relevant is that the Big Ten absolutely sucks.

 

[Jimmy Football]

The only thing that is relevant is that the Big Teb absolutely sucks.

The Big TEB Conference: Towson, Elon, and Bucknell

Muschamp is in the SEC now at Georgia, has been since USCJr. fired him. Although he stepped back in 2024 to be a defensive analyst instead of co-DC. Not sure why.

Man it would be nice if Heupel could hire Muschamp as our DC.

 

[Sandman Vol]

Well damn

Damn you TV damn you

Kendall Rogers also mentioned Tony has offered a spot to Frank Anderson to join his staff as well. Dude, Tony, come on man….

F all the way off Tony go find new people for your new team

 

[Sandman Vol]

Elander has been responded quickly in his first two hires. If Frank leaves, I'd expect him to not delay in his next hire.

I would think and hope that TV did right by him and told him who he’s coming for ahead of time.

No Dj or either of the Wilsons. Who will their qb be? Will we have arion and jermod back?

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Florida by 10.

F it I’m going deep.

Why won't dj be the qb?

Can you explain where you are getting that 113 number for 2023? By everything I can find we were in the 20-30 range for all major metrics that year.

Google. I asked for the total defensive ranking per year.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

You really can't use total yards / scoring to judge the efficacy of a defense if you're not adjusting for opponent strength, pace, and field position.

Elite, no. But Banks' defensive have been much better than people give them credit for.

Yes you can. You most certainly can use total defensive ranking in FBS. I can adjust any metric I want to make anything look better or worse. But I pulled total defensive ranking and that’s what it provided.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Baseball is elite.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Florida by 10.

F it I’m going deep.

Tennessee by 21. Erase the demons
