Anxious to see how his team finishes the season. So far really well prepared and a very hard nosed hard playing team of one. All playing for a common goal and a very exciting brand of ball. 🏈

Go Gators 🐊

It’s there, up and down the roster, no one should say that we don’t anymore. OL needs to be better for sure, and interior DL, but we have talent at most positions, need to continue to play the right guys

Early voting started yesterday in VA and I banked my vote.

You should vote early in person as soon as the polls open in your state.

1) If you’re a person that campaigns market to (ie you get emails and texts), voting early saves your candidate money because they take you off the list. They can focus efforts on someone else.
2) Life happens. Voting early makes sure a car accident, illness, etc doesn’t get in the way.
3) Democrats think Republicans only vote on Election Day. If we’re gonna have printer issues, voting machine issues, etc, when do you think they’re gonna do it?
4) The counter argument is “they’ll know how many votes they’ll need to cheat”…what happened last time? They counted the votes on Election Day and shut down the counting to come up with enough votes. Point is, it doesn’t matter…if they’re gonna cheat they are gonna cheat.
5) If someone is going to use your name to steal your vote, it’s much harder if you’ve already voted.

Republicans need to change how they operate if we’re going win. Harvest where legal, vote early and by mail, and avoid Election Day shenanigans.

So the one thing Billy supposedly is good at(recruiting) he can’t even do anymore lol fire him tonight!!!

Just watched the defensive highlights again tonight and that young man had himself a whale of a game. He’s really come on in his sophomore year, quick to the ball and a sure tackler. He, as my father used to say, arrives at the ball carrier with bad intent.

Very well done Jaden, I see you young brother!

He has already shown us who he is. Don’t let the Lagway and Baugh performances blind you from the reality that Billy isn’t cut out for this job. His special teams, play-calling, game management, time management, and personnel decisions have consistently proven he cannot lead us to win big games.

We have the talent, especially with our young players, to compete at the highest level. The only thing holding us back is Billy. Just imagine what a competent coach could do with this team. Picture an actual offense with Lagway at the helm not being handicapped by Billy’s play calling. If we stick with Billy, we’ll never see Lagway’s full potential realized. Imagine the game we would’ve seen last night had Mertz and Trell not got hurt. Love those guys and what they’ve done for Gator nation but I’m going to venture and say we wouldn’t look the same as we did last night…

Maybe let him finish the season, but hoping for Billy to return as head coach next year is a mistake - no matter how many more games we win with Billy. We should support our players and the program, but finding a coach who can maximize this team’s talent is what’s best for the future.

How can this be happening? You've got a judge who is so biased, he can, and probably will, single-handedly pronounce Trump guilty. There is no evidence of fraud and nobody has been harmed in any way. There is no victim! How can this happen when their only witness said Trump did nothing wrong? If this judge pronounces him guilty, how can this stand alone, and will there be an appeal to another court? I don't get it.

Crawshaw Earns “Ray’s 8” Nod for Week Eight Effort

Florida’s punter was called on for four punts, totaling 203 punt yards.



GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida Gators punter Jeremy Crawshaw was named one of the Ray Guy Award’s “Ray’s 8” for week eight, highlighting his outstanding efforts for Florida’s special teams unit during the Gators’ win over Kentucky.



Crawshaw was called on to punt a total of four times against Kentucky, landing one of those punt inside of the opponents 20-yard line, two for over 50 yards, including a 60-yard launch that flipped the field from the Florida 30 to the Kentucky 15-yard line. his 50.75-yard average punt was his top mark of this season.



In the 2024 season, Crawshaw is responsible for 26 punts through Florida’s seven contests, going for 1,204 total punt yards. His 46.3-yard average ranks 13th in FBS this season, while his 44.7-yard net ranks eighth among players with multiple punts.



This is Crawshaw’s third “Ray’s 8” honor, making him the second punter in the nation this season with three Ray’s 8 nods and one Ray Guy Award Punter of the Week honor.



2024 is Crawshaw’s fifth season with Florida and fourth as the Gators starting punter. The 2023 campaign saw Crashaw set career and single season program records in career average yards per punt (46.7) and single-season yards per punt (48.9). He was named to the AP All-SEC Second-Team at the end of last season. Crashaw also earned preseason honors from CFN, Athlon Sports, Sporting News and Phil Steele.



Ray's 8 honors eight punters weekly who had the best punting performance over the weekend. A fan vote will determine the winner of the weekly award. Florida fans can vote for Crawshaw to win Punter of the Week at this link.

Many of us in the chat thought this wasn't a TD based on the only angle shown during the broadcast(Which was the worst broadcast ever, LOL). This angle seems to be why it was ruled and held up as a TD!

Go, Gators!

I have 3 available located in Section 131, row K, seats 6, 7 and 8. $150.00 a piece.

but your boy Rob Sale has the O line playing at a very high level. The last two fronts we faced were very good, and we ran the ball really well. Even against UT, with Merrz, without the newest darling magic reason of the vertical passing game. In fact I’d argue the opposite. Running it well has made play action downfield throws more hittable. We will certainly know more after UGA

I think regardless of who gets injured or how badly they’re playing, it’s low class to cheer injuries.

On a side note, I think it’s hilarious that Jameis Winston is coming to Watsons aid considering both of their pasts. When Jameis Winston is toting himself as a moral authority, it’s downright wonky.

Has anyone received their UF-Texas football tickets

Sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere, but we actually went under center, power I lead blocker. Can anyone confirm?

Texas and Oklahoma could be stuck in the Big 12 until 2025​

The SEC’s TV contract expires with CBS at the end of the 2023 year, which is worth $55 million a year. Afterward, the SEC will begin its new contract with ESPN, valued at roughly $300 million per year.
This is like NIL & Recruiting but played by the Corporate big Boys !

With that much money on the table, it is a head-scratcher as to why both teams have not made the jump to the SEC. But that answer is simple; neither team wants to pay the Big 12 more than they have to.
A report from last year put both teams’ buyout numbers close to $76 million a piece.

“What I’ve always been told is Texas and Oklahoma don’t want to pay a dollar more than they have to leave the Big 12, and they’re prepared to stick with the 2025 exit if that’s what it takes. And certainly, the Big 12 has no incentive to kick them out early.

Those two programs generate 50 percent of the revenue in their TV contract.
So I’m working under the assumption right now that there’s going to be a two-year period where the Big 12 will be a 14-team league.”
https://www.on3.com/news/college-fo...-oklahoma-sooners-timeline-for-sec-departure/

What would a 14 team Big 12 TV contract be worth ?
Will CBS, after losing the SEC, spend SERIOUS money to get the Big 12 ?

BIG 12 members -
Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Iowa State, Kansas State, Kansas and West Virginia.

Keep Oklahoma & Texas;

Add BYU, Houston, UCF and Cincinnati (all supposedly set to join Big 12 on July 1, 2023) & you would have an interesting situation !

https://www.si.com/college/2021/09/...ions-conference-invites-four-new-teams-byu-ad

https://kslsports.com/488016/byu-football-big-12-conference-history-games/

IMO, Oklahoma and Texas would still be the big guns ! To keep them, would the Big 12 authorize an unequal payout to them ?

Half a loaf is better than none !

If you are a Big 12 member, would you give 10% of your expanded TV revenues to Oklahoma & Texas to get a MUCH BIGGER piece of the TV pie ?

CBS pays $200 MM to Big 12, Oklahoma & Texas split $20 MM, lowering split TV payout to $180 MM - TV payout per team drops from $14.28 MM to $12.85 MM for all 14 schools, Oklahoma & Texas actually get $22.85 MM.

How much are the Big 12 teams getting now ?

FWIW - SEC currently has 14 members; add Oklahoma & Texas & you have 16.

$300MM split 16 ways is $18.75 MM; if the other Big 12 schools give up the 10%, then with $22.85 MM Oklahoma & Texas are $4MM richer by staying in Big 12 rather than going to the SEC.

PLUS, winning a conference title in the Big 12 & going to CFP MUCH easier than winning the SEC !

Even with the addition of the new schools, will the Big 12 still have enough impact (& enough TV $$$s) & stay together without Oklahoma & Texas ?

It seems like the 2025 moving date it’s set in stone. However, a lot can change between now and then that could entice either or both teams to make that jump sooner rather than later or NOT AT ALL.

College football conference realignment is in the air, with Houston, Cincinnati, and UCF planning to leave the AAC & BYU leaving the West Coast Conference for the Big 12 in time for the 2023 academic year, according to a report from CBS Sports.

How will UCF as a Power 5 Conference member impact their in-state recruiting; how will it impact UF's recruiting ?

Found this somewhat dated AP article which talks about SEC revenue distribution; hard to get precise numbers.

The Southeastern Conference schools each received more than $44.6 million in total revenue distributed by the league, a seven-figure increase from the previous fiscal year.

SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said Thursday the league handed out just over $651.0 million of total revenue among the 14 members for the 2018-19 fiscal year, which ended August 31, 2019.

It includes $624.2 million distributed from the conference office, as well as $26.8 million schools kept to offset travel and other related bowl expenses

The total distributed comes from television agreements, postseason bowl games and the College Football Playoff and the SEC football championship game, as well as the league’s men’s basketball tournament, the NCAA Championships and a supplemental surplus distribution.

The true freshman scored five rushing touchdowns, tying the program record set by Tim Tebow (2007) and Trey Burton (2010).



GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Florida Gators running back Jadan Baugh has been named the SEC Freshman of the week, the conference announced Monday. The recognition follows his historic performance against Kentucky, in which he scored five rushing touchdowns, tying a program record set by Tim Tebow (2007, vs. South Carolina) and Trey Burton (2010, vs. Kentucky).



Baugh, making his first career start, ran for 106 yards on 22 carries. He became this first true-freshman running back for the Gators with multiple rushing TDs in a game since Malik Davis on Sept. 30, 2017 vs. Vanderbilt (two).



He is the first Gator to earn a SEC Freshman of the week honor since Arlis Boardingham earned the nod last season after Florida’s contest with Vanderbilt on October 7, 2023.



How it happened

The Atlanta, Ga. native’s first career start began making history at the first snap, as he and fellow freshman DJ Lagway manned the backfield for the Gators, the first true-freshman QB/RB duo to start for Florida in school history, and the first such duo in FBS this season.



After a first quarter featuring 7 carries for 33 yards, Baugh and Florida’s offense found it’s rythym in the second quarter. After a 50-yard connection from Lagway to Elijhah Badger on Florida’s second drive of the quarter landed the Florida offense in the red zone, Baugh broke the plane on a seven-yard carry for his first career touchdown to give Florida the lead.



Baugh’s next carry came standing in his own end zone, after Florida’s defense manufactured a turnover on downs at the Florida two-yard line. He unpinned the Gator offense, breaking through for 27 yards, his longest run of the night. After another downfield shot to Badger, Baugh found the paint again for his second score on a ten-yard run.



Just 24 seconds later, after a 52-yard interception return by Devin Moore, Baugh punched in his third score of the quarter on a one-yard rush.



Baugh pushed through for a 1-yard score in each of the next two quarters, finishing his historic night with 30 points in the Gators’ 48-20 rout of the Wildcats.
