Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I really don't get the 9-3 predictions for the Gators...by Josh Pate when you look at where he predicts their opponents too

at LSU
at Miami
vs Texas
at A&M
vs Georgia
at Ole Miss
vs Tennessee

That's just the AP top 25 teams they face... at Kentucky, vs FSU could be losses too.
For some odd reason, uk has given them trouble over the last 7 years. Uk is 4-3 over that span and they play in lex this year.

Everyone who is predicting a good season for UF is putting a massive amount of faith in Lagway being a Heisman caliber QB and staying healthy. Without Lagway, the talk would be about if they make a bowl game.
 
Happy Tuesday - pretty fitting devotional for start of the season.


August 26, 2025: Be sure to live every day as it comes. It is easy to project out into the future and decide what you will do about those imagined circumstances. But, that is not reality. Your reality is to do that which has been given you to do right here and right now. It is the errand of a fool to try to live beyond today. Matthew 6:34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble
amen.
 
You must've laughed, otherwise you wouldn't have anything to think about.

To maintain the quality of this forum, I propose the creation of a new group with the purpose of limiting the Yeti population and providing an appropriate response when the current population gets out of control.

Ill have nothing to do with those items, Sir. The Johnson's of the cracker barrel revolt have marred the image of fork and torch.
 
also I get Bama has a pretty soft schedule...but they were 9-3 last year with an even easier schedule (only played 4 top 25 teams, only 2 on the road).

This year they open at FSU, play at Georgia, vs Tennessee, at South Carolina vs LSU and then vs OU (those 4 are all in a row. I'm still not sure how much trust I have in DeBoer with so much unknown on their offense... I think 10-2 is crazy talk personally.

Pate tends to elevate schools that he has visited. I remember him saying that Florida had everything there but would they give Billy the time.

he has become insufferable to me. I used to listen to him regularly but his ego turned me off. Dude acts like he's the supreme emperor of college football

There's something oddly hilarious about Eric Cain excitedly and energetically introducing the VQ podcast, only to look over and see Hubbs, AP, and Rob Lewis on the right just staring at their cameras looking grumpy as hell.
Cain gets a lot of unnecessary flack for his butchering of english language. He was on Syracuse Pod, and SEC crossover pod this week. Really, in terms of delivery and presentation, and professionalism dude is in a class of his own. The pod can turn into a bro fest real quick, he always stays with facts, and is prepared. Others just give their ******* opinion.

I liked Cain at first but had to stop listening to him, he intentionally repeats himself constantly. I don’t know if he is trying to really emphasize stuff or if it’s just his style but it gets annoying to me.

Hey, question for you that have been here for several years...Wasn't there one, or more, person(s) on here who stated that even though Jesse Perry went to a small school, and was a standout, that he would have success here? That was due to his being an All-State Wrestler, and they can make excellent linemen. I just wanted to say, whoever it was, you should take a bow, because he has proven you right!!

I think he's just nervous. I've picked up on a nervous tic of his: every time he says something that doesn't immediately land with the other VQ guys, like a joke or sarcastic remark, he takes a sip out of his mug. It's like Rick Barnes wiping his face/mouth every time a UT player scores a bucket. Once you see it, you can never unsee it.
 
Idea. Hubbs on the Volquest podcast mentioned that SEC teams may have to start the year with a SEC game once we go to 9 games. We should open every year with Vandy at the new Titans stadium.
