For the first time ever, I might go to 2 road games. We enjoyed a past visit to Pittsburgh and would go back. And we live in Baton Rouge, so gotta represent there.

Gisele isn’t all that. Not hating on you.. but I find it odd so many people think she’s fine.

According to the simulator (over 100 simulations run on each game), we have less than a 50% chance to beat UF, LSU, UK, Bama and UGA. So, 8-4 would be good, 9 wins would be very good. 10 would mean we were extremely lucky. I'm expecting 8 wins. Hope I am pleasantly surprised.

Florida is no better than South Carolina, Missouri, and certainly Kentucky. We just build them up, which is why we struggle with them. Just treat them like those other schools.

It certainly feels different this year.

Even when we beat Florida in 2016, and the following off-season when we might have had reasonable expectations of doing so again, even then it didn't feel like our program was passing them in long-term momentum.

It does feel that way today.

It feels like the Florida program is broken, and getting ready to wander through the desert for a while. Napier certainly doesn't feel like any long-term solution to their ills.

Meanwhile, we legitimately seem to be on the mend, on our way back toward championship football.

Is it possible that this is where things change? Is this the pivot point? Only time will tell, but I'm truly hopeful and optimistic about our chances in the Tennessee-Florida series, for the first time in a long time. Seems like there's a real chance we can put together a string of several wins in a row, starting this next season.

Go Vols!

Florida had the 7th most talented roster in all of CFB this year. They are way different than those schools. They didn't have a QB this year and the team ultimately quit on Mullen. Too bad we didn't play them in November.

Read recently that Florida has more players in the transfer portal (8) than they have in the 2022 recruiting class (7). That includes some of their best players opting to leave.

Between losing commitments and losing talent already on board, you can't survive long with that kind of math working against you.

We did. They are the flagship university of a Top 3 state for producing elite high school athletes. They'll bounce back. Not saying we can't beat them because we can but they are nothing like Kentucky or South Carolina. Florida is a different animal on a different level from those schools and always will be until Florida loses 2/3 of it's population or they quit playing high school football down there.

Nah.

I mean, what you just said was the mantra through the heyday of the Florida programs (Gators, Seminoles, Hurricanes). The 1990s, 2000s, and (lesser extent) 2010s they came on like gangbusters. Before then, they were just middling programs in their conferences. Along the lines of a Mississippi State or South Carolina.

And fans of these three programs liked to come up with "irreversible" theories on why they suddenly emerged. Theories based on a change in the human condition that was permanent. Irreversible. The "we're here to stay" perspective (hope, really).

Some said integration...even though integration happened decades prior (mostly in the 60s, but starting in the 50s and extending a bit into the early 70s). So that wasn't it. Others said air conditioning...even though air conditioning became common and affordable in the 1950s and 1960s. Again, the timing doesn't line up at all.

Fact is, there's nothing irreversible about the rise of the Gators from obscurity into championship football. And so they can return to obscurity.

Here's hoping that's what we're seeing.

Go Vols!

You say that like it's scientific. Who says they had the "7th most talented roster"? Let me guess...recruiting analysts who ranked those players highly in part because they were signed by Florida.

But you're right...they are way different than those schools. They lost to all three.

Looks like the predictions most of the hopeful fans make EVERY year. But I think NEXT year I will certainly take that scenario. If they ARE loses, maybe at least ONE of those games will be close this time.
