Two days in the broadcast booth, six basketball games ... I'm a zombie. Taking the night off from writing. Be back in a day or so.

@TCNELLY84 it’s a long-term poster on this board that brings great inside information and is a friend. I didn’t get a chance to put this in the other thread but I will go on record for him. He’s a veteran (well, sort of, he was in the Air Force), served in combat, served his country, loves the gators, and brings great stuff to this board.

We welcome all the new people here bit could some of y’all stop attacking some of our beloved regulars like him and @Celtics99. I would personally appreciate it.

Oh and before anyone goes there, no he did not ask me to post this on his behalf.

Anybody checking on @beach hippie_

We should have declined the bowl bid. Said it weeks ago, nobody agreed.

Now, knowing we only held 3 (others heard it was 5) of our allowed 15 practices, does anyone change their mind? Many on here said it was very important we got those 15 additional practice. I said, even if we held the practices, there was nothing to teach the kids as the new staff was going to have to retrain them anyway. Evidently the current staff agreed with me as they didn't hardly bother having practice.

The coaches didn't care or we would have practiced more. The players didn't care or they would have put out a better effort. So who cared? Anybody? The fans? LMAO at anybody who thinks what the fans want means diddly. Oh, well, the administration cared, because they made a profit on the game. Only had to drive players and equipment to it, so not much in costs; they put a few more mil into their swollen bank accounts.

We had a coaching staff and a group of players that are both heading out the door now that the game is over. It was ridiculous to send a lame duck coaching staff plus a lame duck football team to represent UF at a bowl game. RIdiculous and STUPID.

But, you all got what you wanted. Hope you are happy.

Dan Mullen cites mental errors as the deciding factor in overtime loss to Missouri.

"We’ve got to be mentally tougher. That’s the coaches. We have to make sure that we are mentally tougher in that way with our preparation."

Durham is a bulldog, and it appears hildabeast is still in his crosshairs.

Saw Miami is planning to have their “Elite Prospect Day” the weekend of January 22nd. I know we have blended a January OV weekend with a JR day as well, have you heard anything of the sort Jason? Thank you.

Democrats Losing Big-Time

CLick the link and you'll see where even the Latinos have had enough of Poopy Joe's BS. African-Americans like me have our #BLEXIT thing going on already and it's growing in droves. More and more people (except @BSC911 and others like him) are waking up to what is a totalitarian, draconian, outlaw regime hell-bent on destroying America. The guise of "Build Back Better" has long-since worn away. Now the entire Demo-Communist Party is pooping in their panties and suits like Biden did at the Vatican. This is what happens when we.....HOLD. THE. LINE.

He is a Utah commit. Heard anything here Jason?

I know we still have to finish off the 2022 class and I hope Billy closes on some great players, but I am interested to see what everyone's expectations for the 2023 class are. We got a small taste of the effort Billy is going to put in to recruit and I think we are all excited to see a whole year's worth of it:

Here are some things I want to see Billy achieve in 2023:

- I want to see Billy land a top 50 offensive skill talent. Basically, go get me a top 50 RB or WR in 2023. In state Florida recruits currently rated in the top 50 includes Brandon Inniss, Jalen Brown and Richard Young. All currently 5 stars.

- As of right now we have 3 Top 100 players signed on in the 2022 class. The class could increase if JaCoby Matthews joins the fold down the stretch. But in 2023 I want to see Billy add at least 5 top 100 players and in my opinion it should start with Cormani McClain.

- McClain has to be a Gator. He is a Gator lean from Gator Country and his current HC at Lake Gibson is big friends with Billy.

- Top 6 recruiting class with a recruit average around .92

I'm excited for Billy and the resources Florida gave him. I hope the reported staff is actually a staff that comes together and nothing was messed up (seems to always be our luck). That staff would be a strong group on the trail.

What are some things you want in see in 2023?

Any news I may have missed about him deciding his future. Be huge if we can keep him for one more

I think he may do very well under Billy.

UF WBK: Florida at Mississippi State Women's Basketball Game Postponed

The Florida at Mississippi State women's basketball game on December 30 has been postponed due to a combination of positive tests, contact tracing and subsequent quarantining of individuals within the Mississippi State women's basketball program, Thursday's Florida at Mississippi State game has been postponed, consistent with Southeastern Conference COVID-19 management requirements.

Obviously, there is no way to accurately judge how the recruiting class from the previous staff would have turned out, But Do you think BN’s transition class will finish ahead of where the previous staffs class would have finished (overall ranking and avg recruit)?

Billy G and C-Rob wearing all black to the bowl game emphasized some serious culture issues with our football team.

Is it a coincidence that two of the most “me first” players on the team happen to be within these two coaches’ position groups (Diabate and Copeland)?

How difficult of a task does BN have in turning this “selfish” culture around? NIL will only make things more difficult.

Oof. That didn't last long.
