Schedule- UF game

#27

I went to UF '93, '95, and '97, and the pregame atmosphere and in-stadium pulse wasn't close to '01 ... completely disregarding the end of game/postgame.

Not to mention the fever-pitch national buzz

Why would it help UT?

Our schedule is middle loaded. Playing it in the first 3rd of the season is not really any different than playing it in the back 3rd. Unless the angle is that it hurts UF. Which gets back to my original opinion. UT needs to step their game up.

Ours is too. I don't expect South Carolina to be a Top 10 team every year, but UGA and LSU aren't all of a sudden going to suck like Kentucky.

Our game is perfect where it is. And last I checked, at this point in the season no one has the East wrapped up.

Doesn't bother me where it is. I'd be more in favor of UF/UGA moving from Jacksonville to a non-neutral alternating site (like everyone else).

Disagree about '97...we wanted to rip Peyton's heart out and feed it to him. It was Africa hot that day, but the atmosphere was no worse than 2001.

But to your point, you think the game should be moved because the atmosphere is allegedly better later in the season?

Exactly....had UT lost by 3 td's, UT fans would feel different. You play the game when you play the game. The argument is stupid, IMO. "Sorry, we weren't ready to play you in Sept. We're hoping to be better prepared in Nov." SAD!

Considering the middle of our schedule currently consists of LSU, Vandy, South Carolina and Georgia, you already know what the answer is.

UF won't agree to move the game just to make life easier for UT.[/QUO

Truth be told, I can give two terds when we play uf, I just like to argue. That been siad why should we care what uf schedule is?

The '01 game was awesome from an atmosphere perspective. All UF had to do was beat an 18 pt underdog team, then throttle LSU again (they beat them at LSU 44-15 earlier in the season), and they play Miami.

Beating UT (Fulmer) would've simply been icing on the cake.

I knew we were in trouble when I saw a bunch of UF fans outside the stadium with roses in their mouths.

Did anyone ever see UF have the WR run behind the QB at the snap? It was pretty confusing and opened up more options. They probably won't use this vs. LSU, and I didn't see it vs UK.

If UT played UF in November, all (most) of the UF trickeration would be in the open.

Losing to Florida in November would only serve to diminish my false hopes of improvement, and dash the euphoria I experience by going undefeated during the last month of the season.

Leave it where it is.

I don't mind it where it is. You gotta play the game. Its not like its game 1.

The east is a 3 team race now.

Yes '97 was intense, I believe it poured rain in the second half of that one, and it was awful. That game was special because of the insane preseason buzz - you all had just won an NC, we had Peyton as a senior. I contend that there was never more hype than that 2001, though, which was essentially a playoff game (though we proved that theory wrong in the end).

perhaps, I'm dwelling on the 2001 situation too much.


s/n: also why ncaaf needs playoffs

We also ran it several times at Texas A&M.

You're thinking of the '95 game when it poured in the second half.

And yes, you are dwelling on the 2001 game too much. :)

there was no rain in 97. It was so hot people were actually stepping in front of the urine balloons

Here is the reality on this straight from the ol ball coach who considers this his greatest victory over UT according to his brother and laughs about it to this day. UF has a huge advantage in the swamp in SEPT and that is a fact. I have been there and the heat and humidity is rough.

Prior to the 98 (ironically their NC year) season scheduling came up in the spring and UT wanted the K-town game moved to early November/ late October. The ol ball coach pitched a fit (according to his brother he did not want to play in cold weather) and UT relented. Does this make a difference? Ask Miami who has played BC late in the year.

It came up again after 01 and Foley brought up the FSU argument. Cry me a river, UT usually plays a tough out of conference opponent early in the year and was only requesting the K-town game be moved with usc.

Today it is a mute point and is not going to happen unless UT threatens something drastic like moving out which is not going to happen. So every SEPT when this game kicks off a certain ol ball coach is smiling.
