Was in Vegas for my bachelor party and I got talked into putting 100 bucks on Florida. Got my MBA from there and damn it felt good winning some cash cheering my team on!
I AGREED WITH YOU. BAMA fan here, the swamp is one of if not the MOST UNDERRATED environment to go to, also arch and texas and that defense have been overhyped, while Floridas defense and front 7 has been underrated. lagway hasnt been consistent but i 100% saw a world where he lit texas up, and getting Dallas Wilson back was huge. Arch may be great next year but hes just not ready right now and texas has 0 run game and the OL is not good at all.
The Swamp was ROCKING last night. Great to finally see a quality win this year. Go Gators 🐊
Ive been a florida fan since 95. Ive seen them win 3 natty and ive also seen several 4-8 seasons. Im gonna watch every game and pull my heart out for the orange and blue no matter what there record is or how good they are. Im a DIE HARD GATOR FAN for life.
So that Texas schedule must be some leftover Big 12 stuff. To be in week 5 and Florida is their first conference game? Good luck on the rest of that
I'm a Florida fan. I think if UF har this roster with Dan Mullen as coach instead of Napier, the team is 5-0 and #7 in the polls.
Im a bama fan but I’ve always had a respect for Florida and their fans. Never had any issues with their fans (personally) they deserve better. There is still a lot of season they could very much win out, finish 9-3 and who knows what happens. But Billy has to get these guys ready to go from the jump and not when he’s on his last life.
Baugh is so underrated, should be getting 15 touches a game
Napier tried his darndest to lose that game at the end 😂
7:55 the old Ed O problem… 😂
