Gators to Hire Ron Roberts as LB Coach, Co-Defensive Coordinator ?

I see UGA fans haven't changed in the slightest, still nimwits with tiny brains. Us going to the big 12 makes as much sense as you guys going to the pac 12. None. The big 10 wants us in, they provide way more money and better teams than the big 12. Just because you want something to be true, doesn't mean it is. Big 10 and SEC will be the 2 dominant conferences moving forward
I guess if they need a retard school to make fun of, you’re a great choice.

The Big 12 isn’t going anywhere…FYI…despite the exit of Texas and Oklahoma, Brett Yormark has done a great job of positioning that league for long-term success and survival. They’ll pillage what’s left of the PAC-12 and it will be a formidable league to deal with for years to come.

Colorado makes that conference worst imo. It will be a lower tier conf and won't be looked at equally to the sec and big 10.

SEC and B1G will have more brand superpower…but from an end results standpoint, Big 12 may be better positioned than both those leagues…they just had a team reach the National Title game….and when we go to 12 teams it might be easier for a good Big 12 team to win the league and make it through to the title game.

The are certainly better positioned than the ACC (which they have a WAY better TV deal than)…

Would be a big step up for FSU to join that league…doubt UCF would vote to let them in though…

NCAA football isn’t going to be what most of us grew up with. Obviously it is already much much different. It’s a shame IMO but it is what it is. There is going to be 2 super conferences with it being the SEC and the Big 10. If you aren’t in one of those 2 conferences then you are just playing second fiddle and quite honestly you’ve been left out and not sitting at the table with the big boys.
 
NCAA should expand playoffs as soon as possible. 12 teams and basically have the playoffs take the place of a couple games of regular season. Then set aside at least 6 of the bids for the Big 10 and SEC.

NCAA’s worst nightmare is if the SEC and Big 10 get together and have their own playoff.

Yep for the short term a team is better off not being in the 2 hardest conferences as far as making a 12 team playoff.

Yes but once they get there they are going to get rolled. They won’t have good enough players. All the best players are going to want to play in the SEC and Big 10. It will be just like TCU. Maybe win a game and then get rolled as soon as they come up against a “real” team.

It just makes it easier even though you would need fewer losses and TCU did beat what most would consider a legit team. GA is capable of pounding anyone on a given day.

The key to the upcoming season, to me, is the offensive line. Last year they were very good and they had better be just as good or better this year in order for us to have a winning season.

ocala, the coming Fall practices should give us a better idea of what they've got as an OL for 2023. To me, they are looking pretty good, considering that they lost 4 of the 5 starters from 2022...

The LG and RT positions seem open to me, for someone to step up and claim a spot in the Fall, but I don't see a lack of raw talent to fill those 2 spots...
Note: This OL depth chart is the iG's WaG, not anything official....

LT Austin Barber 6-6 305 rsSo
LT Damieon George 6-6 361 rsSo - UA xfer
LT Caden Jones 6-8 345 Fr

? LG Micah Mazzccua 6-5 337 Jr - Baylor xfer, rehabbing shoulder injury
? LG Knijeah Harris 6-3 325 Fr
? LG/OT Mark Pitts 6-6 318 rsSo

OC Kingsley Ehuakun 6-3 302 rsJr
OC Jake Slaughter 6-5 301 rsSo
OC Roderick Kearney 6-4 287 Fr

RG Richie Leonard IV 6-2 310 Jr
RG Jalen Farmer 6-5 307 rsFr
RG Christian Williams 6-4 310 rsFr

? RT Damieon George Jr 6-6 361 rsSo
? RT Lyndell Hudson 6-5 329 rsSr - FIU xfer
? RT Jordan Herman 6-8 371 rsSo - Hutchinson CC xfer

OG Hayden Clem 6-2 290 rsSo
OG Bryan Rosenberg 6-3 270 Fr
LT Bryce Lovett 6-5 330 Fr
RT Kamryn Waites 6-8 364 rsSo - La xfer - torn Achilles, possible return by mid-season

If healthy the left side of the O line should be good to go. We will find out on the right side I guess.

They won 1 game. They don’t have the talent and won’t have the talent to win 2 games in a row against more talented teams. I would say that is more than a pounding that UGA gave them. UGA doesn’t beat anybody in the SEC as bad as they beat TCU. It was a mismatch before the game even started.

Again, you want to win national titles you better recruit at a very high level. Like top 5 level or at worst top 10 level with a dynamic QB. Teams like TCU aren’t going to be winning any national titles.

I agree it would be tough and probably even less likely in a 12 team playoff but they earned their place and showed they could beat a good team that beat OSU. Beat Texas about the same as Bama also and not as close a game at the end. I bet TX gives Bama a game this year also. Wouldn't shock me if they pulled out a win.

I don’t think they should have been there but it is what it is. I knew they were going to get blown out. It made for the worst national title game in college football history.

If Michigan beat them and got pounded like before in a playoff game we wouldn't hear that though. I think us, FSU and others took major beatings in what turned out to be national title games.

65-7 beatings?? Nope. Nothing that bad. It was a complete waste of time/game.

Well you can get that when the opposing head coach doesn't call the dogs off still passing that much when it's over after leading 45-7 later in the 3rd and the defense playing that well that game. A blowout is a blowout.

If I recall it was 38-7 at halftime. Total waste of a game and I was actually embarrassed for TCU and I thought it was yet another low point for college football. Worst national title game in college football history.

Not to force everybody to relive it, but since we’re talking about it, there was another “Dynasty” team that previously beat somebody pretty bad in claiming a back to back title…

sadgator’s gonna say, respectfully, that TCU’s performance against UGA is not indicative of any other Big 12 team’s ability to win a National Title in any given year…

Difference is, UF came back and won it in similar fashion.
 
Exactly the point…don’t count out a team or a league because of one game….
TCU isn’t winning a national title in our lifetime. They haven’t won one yet and they aren’t going too. They don’t get the talent. I figured the last couple of decades would have been a good enough indicator.

Are people still confused that still after all this time you need lots of talent to win a national title and that recruiting is very very important?? Some fans still haven’t figured that out?

And oh yea the last Big 12 team to win a National title was Texas in 2005. The same Texas that isn’t even in that conference anymore. Before that was Oklahoma. Another team not even in that conference anymore.

sadgator won’t debate the fact that TCU was never gonna beat UGA given the talent gap, you are correct.

However, the Big 12 schools have money. You look at a school like Houston…there is a crap ton of money there…with NIL, is it really that crazy to think that they couldn’t buy a super team and make it to the playoffs easier than a team in the SEC?

Maybe they don’t win it all, but they could be a massive problem for another quality team in the playoffs…

The Big 12 has a far better TV deal than the ACC, and you could objectively argue that the Big 12 teams have a better chance to be successful in the immediate future than the ACC schools do.

Not sure why sadgator is become a shill for the Big 12, but it’s true….

The debate isn’t whether a new Big 12 team is going to make the playoffs. The discussion is can they win a national title once they get there. The answer is an emphatic “NO” unless said Big 12 school starts recruiting top 10 classes on the regular.

The current Big 12 sucks. They just lost the only 2 football programs worth a damn in that conference and they lost Nebraska years ago. There isn’t much left.

Is there anybody else left in the Big 12 that has ever won a national title in football? LOL. Do we have to go all the way back to Colorado who is just now coming back??

1995 UF 24 - 62 Neb (+38) (tOSU RB Eddie George Heisman)

=====

1996 UF 52 - 20 FSUcks (-32) -- Winner Danny Wuerffel Heisman

2006 UF 41 - 14 tOSU (-27) -- Loser tOSU's Troy Smith Heisman (Finalist Leak was better)

2008 UF 24 - 14 Choke-la-homo (-10) -- Loser OK's Sam Bradford Heisman (Finalist Tebow was better)

All 4 times it was UF VS #1 ranked team, and twice it was vs the Heisman QB.

UF going 3-1 vs the #1 ranked opponent's looks pretty good to me...

Tbh, oh st was better than UGA last yr. They should have won. Just like UGA should have beat Bama that yr.
Ryan Day choked up and got conservative and went away with what was working which was an aggressive passing game. If you have the QB and the WRs that is how to give UGA the most problems. Their secondary has been the weakest position of their defense.
