Wow. So no matter how many we win or who we beat, to some it takes another win to make a statement or to have the big win.

We're 4 and 0 and we're in the top 10 and we just beat UF. Nobody realistically expected this at this point.

Man, just enjoy how far we've come so quickly.

Only the complete and utter embarrassment of the rest of the SEC will repair the damage of BVS. Some will suffer until their dying day even if Heupel retires after his 15th national title in a streak that renders Saban a long forgotten memory. Long after grown men in Georgia no longer have a reason to bark, or children grow up thinking Kentucky could ever be good in any sport. Long after Arkansas, Texas A&M, and Missouri leave for the Big12 to get away from us because we are worse than UTjr ever was.

Some things can't be undone or unseen, but for as little as 15 cents a day (or less than a Starbucks coffee each month) you can help Spyre soothe that pain by giving Heupel the tools he needs.

I knew that crap was going to start. The difference in AR and Hooker is this...Hook does it every f'n week, while AR played the game of his life and sucks half the time he plays.

The difference is Hook got the dub, while AR went back to Gainesville with the Tennessee-Florida board game and a year’s supply of Rice-a-Roni.

And we let him have that game.

Our staff knew even his best game wouldn't be enough. Let him lean into his confidence and his game. That's right, pass it all day, go for it.

We knew over the course of an entire game, our guys would be too much and their guy(s) would make JUST enough mistakes.

They turned it over a couple of times - AR failed to convert short 4th and fumbled another short run. We won the middle 8. Both were the difference.

That and Hooker matched every feat of strength that AR put up.

This was calculated. It makes you want to pull your hair out if you like defense, but it was a calculated game plan that said "get em on the road and let 'em open up, we know we have the better car"

Hooker played an incredible game, but as a team we still didn't play our best game. That was the best game of football Florida will play all year. We took it right on the chin and kept moving.

Gut feeling on availability of Tillman and Hooker for LSU ?

Don't hate those odds. I worried before UF that Tillman's absence would throw Hooker off. That didn't happen. He played one of the best games of his career. If Hooker is ready to go I'm rolling with the Vols in Baton Rouge.

We can dominate them up front and their QB does not have the arm talent to beat us in the way that AR15 did. If we lose to LSU it will be because we did not show up and play the way that we can/should.

Wait.. Last week AR didn't have the arm talent to beat us.

Let's just go with what we know... We're gonna be real hard to out score.

We didn't think he could hit the broad side of the barn.

We know he can change a game with his legs.

That's why we chose to play him the way we did.

NOBODY expected him to have the kind of day he had... In any way, shape or form.

We roll in rested and brimming with so much confidence after the UF game that women grow beards when the team walks by.
