Lizards have lost touch with reality

maff is hard.

"Overall, Florida added 32 new players on the roster—23 incoming freshmen and 11 more from the transfer portal— that could play pivotal roles throughout the 2023 season."

I would agree, most of those are very bold. If they are able to beat us 8-4 is not out of the picture, the Swamp has never been an easy place for us to play.

If Tennessee loses to this Florida team then last year was a fluke.

It will be a great release mentally if Tennessee wins this year in Gainesville.

Picking Florida to beat Tennessee is not as ridiculous as predicting that they will have one of the best defenses in the SEC this season. Tennessee tends to choke down there. I don't think it will happen this year, but it is always possible that Tennessee could lay another egg ... Florida will not have one of the best defenses in the SEC - that's just stupid. That's a homer sportswriter getting carried away with himself.

This year I think we could choke (or play poorly) and still win. Yes, this year I think on a bad day we are better than Florida is on a good day. Hope I am rigot.

We'll find out if Napier can coach.
Last year his gameday coaching came up short.
Interesting to see if he can course correct, or will keep gambling.

7-5’ish, could also see 5-7.

But I think FL will be competitive in every game. Even last year, nobody blew Florida out, 5 of their 6 losses were between 7-10 points. Ga beat them 42-20 but even that game was competitive in the 3rd quarter.

I think FL can beat everyone they play, but they can also lose to everyone they play (except for the two cupcakes).

My biggest hope is that we’re good enough to retain this current crop of commits.

Maybe. Florida’s going to beat McNeese St, Charlotte and Vandy (at home). That’s three wins.

I think they’ll be favored vs Arky at home and Missou on the road. That’d be 5 wins.

So to get to 6 or 7 wins, they’d need to win one or two of the following:

Utah
TN
KY
SC
GA
LSU
FSU

The only two of that group I’d put down as auto-losses are LSU and GA. So we’ll see.

If Cam Rising doesn't play next Thursday or he's limited, I think you guys win at Utah.

I’ve seen the schedule take off those gator boots and show me 5 locks let alone 7.

Rising is a helluva player. If he’s right, that’s a likely loss. But I agree with you, if he’s off or out, that helps UF’s chances.

I gave you three locks: McNeese, Charlotte and Vandy, and two probables: Arky and Missouri.

That’s 5. Florida beat the hell out of SC last year, that’s not out of the realm of possibility this year. They also beat Utah last year. They get TN and FSU at home and both games were tight and down to the wire last year.

I’m not “locking” 7 wins by any means but I also think the 3-4 wins crowd may be disappointed.

In my opinion, the only reason our game ended close last year is because CJH decided to let off the gas some. Hopefully he learned a valuable lesson from that experience; I bet every Vol got the same sick feeling when momentum and confidence started to swing towards y’all.

Not that I think they’ll win but I wouldn’t sleep on Charlotte. Word around here is the new coach has flipped that roaster and they have a bunch of talent now.

Someone help me. Isn’t 23+11=34. If so writer loses all credibility when he says they have 32 new players.
