…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.

UF Release

I've heard Florida could be very close to offering high three-star QB Robert McDaniel from Hughson, Calif., who is committed to Arizona. I've been told there would be serious interest in the Gators if the offer comes through.

Why are more and more media people saying that it's not a given that Billy will be fired? It went from do it now, to, he may get another year.

I am so confused, nothing has changed from the reasons to fire him.

I hope SS doesn't give him another year because his seat would be hotter next year and that's a tough environment to win in.

UF goes 6-6 and BN gets fired. Ole Miss goes 8-4, losing to UGA and UF.

Are UF fans going to be ok with hiring a coach that BN beat in his last game in The Swamp? A game that occurred just a couple weeks before we theoretically would be hiring Kiffin?

Three Freshman Standouts during Fall Ball
Hector





The Florida Gators Baseball program has already started fall ball camp in preparation for the 2025 baseball season. Florida is also scheduled to play two games in November versus Jacksonville (November 1st) and USF (November 10th).



The Gators were able to keep the majority of their 2024 baseball recruiting class, including some of their top prospects. Some of those freshman have already performed well in their scrimmages in the past couple of weeks. Here are three freshmen who have impressed so far in Florida’s fall camp.



RHP Aidan King



While Aidan King wasn’t one of the top prospects in Florida’s 2024 recruiting class, King has been impressive early in fall camp. King has pitched well, showcasing his fastball and slider combo.



During the fall games, King’s fastball has been sitting in the low 90s and has reached 94 mph. King’s slider has been his best secondary pitch, as it's been generating swing-and-miss and weak contact.



On Perfect Game, King was the 432nd-ranked prospect and the 137th-ranked right-handed pitcher in the country. King is making a case for early playing time as a bullpen arm for the Gators. He could be in the mix to earn some midweek starts as well.



2. INF Kolt Myers



One of the blue-chip prospects Florida was able to keep their recruiting class was infielder Kolt Myers. The St. Augustine native has already started to perform well at the plate against a talented Florida pitching staff. Myers was also a Top 150 prospect on Perfect Game.



Myers has recorded multiple hits, including some extra-base hits in some of Florida’s scrimmages. He has hit well with runners in scoring position, which has made him one of the best run producers for the Gators so far this fall camp.



While Myers’s early success in fall camp is encouraging, it might be tough for him to get consistent playing time with all of the transfers Florida added to their roster last offseason. However, I could still see Myers get some at-bats in midweek games and pinch-hit opportunities versus left-handed pitching.



3. RHP Joshua Whritenour



Another freshman right-handed pitcher who has looked good in the fall is Joshua Whritenour. The A3 Academy product was one of the nation’s top pitching high school prospects in the last draft class. He was also one of the top high school pitching prospects to go undrafted, according to MLB Pipeline.



On Perfect Game, Joshua Whritenour was the 85th-ranked prospect and the 27th-ranked right-handed pitcher in the country. Whritenour was also the twelfth-ranked prospect and fourth-ranked RHP in the state of Florida.



So far this fall camp, Whritenour has showcased his fastball, which sits in the mid-90s and has been clocked at 97 mph this fall. He also has a lot of confidence throwing his sliders versus both left-handed and right-handed batters. He’s another midweek/bullpen candidate for the Gators this season.

what we saw Saturday is our type… explosive offense, dominant , aggressive defense , swaggy af, THAT is what we want
Is that what we’re going to get moving forward?
If so, I think most of us would be on board.
But so much damage has been done, can Napier recover.
It really is in our best interest to keep Napier if we have proof of concept the rest of the way. The last 3 games have looked like a different bunch.
One moment, i feel like “hell naw, I’ve seen too much ineptitude” then the next minute i feel like
“Maybe we have gone through the growing pains and Napier has come out on the other side”
Will our players stay if he stays or goes?
Can we recruit if he stays?
Such an odd feeling after Saturday. For the first time in a LONG time I was so lit watching us perform and crush someone. But does that mean he stays?
Really all depends on the finish. We must be competitive with the rest of schedule

If he wins 3 of the final 5 games.
