GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gator standout Rex Grossman has been selected to the 2024 SEC Legends class, the Southeastern Conference announced on Tuesday.



The 2024 Football Legends class includes 16 former stars who excelled on the gridiron and helped write the rich history of the sport at their respective institutions, and is the first to include representatives from new members Oklahoma and Texas.

The holder of 18 UF records, he completed 677 of 1,110 passes for 9,164 yards and 77 touchdowns in his career. Grossman had a school-record 17 career 300-plus yard passing games, and became the first Gator to throw for 300-plus yards in more than three consecutive games (first nine game of 2001) and he owns five of the top 16 single game passing yardage totals.



Grossman finished second in the 2001 Heisman Trophy balloting, only the fifth sophomore ever to finish in the top two, and he was a finalist for the Walter Camp Award, Maxwell Award, and O'Brien Award in 2001 while earning Associated Press National Player of the Year honors.



Grossman declared for the NFL Draft after his junior season and was drafted in the first round by the Chicago Bears with the 22nd overall choice in the 2003 NFL Draft. He played nine seasons in the NFL for Chicago, Houston and Washington, leading the Bears to an appearance in Super Bowl XLI.



The class will be honored at the 2024 SEC Football “Weekend of Champions” Dec. 6-7 in Atlanta, Ga, highlighted by the annual SEC Legends Celebration presented by T-Mobile on Friday, Dec. 6 at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. The group will also be recognized prior to the SEC Football Championship Game, which will be held at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday, Dec. 7.

I am not sure if there were any property taxes anywhere in the USoA at the founding but I am sure that property ownership was so sacred to the founders most would have opposed any property tax. Do you really own your property if you have to rent it from the government every year?

Crazy. Very sad.

Saw this on TOS. Pretty interesting to me

This year we are ranked 50th in offense and 76th in defense. In comparisons to last couple years and last year of Mullen

2022: 56th, 96th

2023: 57th, 69th

Just some perspective for everyone on where we stand nationally.

The year we fired Mullen, 2021, we were 49th on offense (preceeded by being 13th and 28th the previous 2 years) and 51st in defense.

Billy not hiring an OC was the beginning of the end. He has an opportunity to adapt the offense (not running on 3 and short against a 10 man box in the red zone) and give this kid a chance to save his sole. Best deep ball in the SEC.

More vertical with 4 wr sets.
Get the rb to run routes over the middle for checks.
Give Lagway a runway and attack the deep middle which nobody respects against us.
Our defense will be challenged with mutiple competition coming.

I'm looking for recommendations for offshore charters to take clients out maybe a half dozen times a year. My old go to went out of business so I need to find another outfit. Most of my clients are in Orlando and we used to go out of crystal river but open to charters out of Tampa, ft Myers, or on the east side all the way down to palm beach.
2 caveats, I won't do business with Hang em High, and since this is a client deal, I'm a real boat snob. Freeman, Sea Hunter, Yellowfin or similar caliber CC, or a nice sportfish, something impressive.

Any recommendations are appreciated 🤙🏻

Please DM me.

Section 19 Row 10 Seats 18/19.

Near Gators bench. Top row of the lower-level baseline. Wall is behind the seats, so nobody sits behind you.

$2000 for the pair. I put a red square where the seats are located...

…that’s apparently how it goes…

I slacked on placing an order for Texas tickets when they were available so wondering if anyone has two spares in the Gator section they can sell?

Please shoot me a PM if so. Thanks!

In 1983 on this day, 220 Marines, 18 Sailors, and 3 Soldiers lost their lives when a suicide bomber detonated 21,000 pounds of TNT in a truck at Marine Barracks, Beruit, Lebanon. It was the largest single day of Marine loss since the battle of Iwo Jima in 1945.

They were not avenged until this year, when the Israelis sent
Fuad Shukr and Ibrahim Aqil to Hell.

Honor the fallen.
