Rivalry Renewed: #19 Miami vs Florida (3:30PM ET, ABC)

[JohnWardForever]

It’s a steep check to write but I’m not sure Florida has a choice

Well, Miami is a loaded football team, and Florida has a killer schedule. So Florida will let the season play out; hope for the best, (4-8_ then Fire Billy in December. They'll pony up the Bucks and then buy Kiffin.

That's stupid, The AD will go too....

On one hand I don’t want Kiffin in Florida

On the other that would make the Florida game next year entertaining as heck.

Napier is safe until we replace the university president who just stepped down because he was grifting like a monorail salesman in Springfield.

In other words he’s safe until December.

You don’t think they’d fire him after the Miss St game if you lost to aTm?

Would he leave though? The SEC East might be tougher than the west now. But I guess divisions don’t matter as much anymore

 

[DirtyDawg]

That was a stupid penalty

wrong thread

Jeremy Foley is no longer our AD, so I doubt it.

That $26 million is about 1/3 of their annual SEC TV revenues. If aTm can pony up $100 million, Florida should be good for that.

A blind Florida QB always plays like Tom Brady against us. I can imagine at the beginning of the week even if they are 0-4 its like..."Lets Party" We gonna play awesome, get all the calls, all the breaks and win. Afterall it's just UT!

Divisions don’t just matter less, they don’t exist period.

Epic for that whole SEC nation crew to salivate over Florida and mostly pick Florida to roll over Miami, only to sit back and have to watch that train wreck.

Florida's offense line is just not good. It will cost them.

They are 25-8 against us since 1990, bud.

They’ve beaten us when we were a powerhouse, middling, and absolutely terrible. Peyton freaking Manning couldn’t even beat UF.

Unfortunately, they have our number. I would sure love nothing more than for Heupel to break us out of that, but so far he lost to their subpar 2023 squad and almost let them come back and beat us in Neyland in ‘22 (‘21 he had inferior talent, so I won’t count it).

On paper, we should demolish them, but I guarantee you it will be a slugfest. I’ll gladly eat crow if it’s a blowout.

And it’s definitely not the fans fault for reacting to what we’ve seen in the series with UF for the past 35 years.

Clausen was a Football Player. And a damn good one. But in just his two starts, Nico has looked that good. With a better arm.

I personally think he has more talent at the college level than Peyton did. I may be wrong but I just see greatness in him.

Divisions in the SEC ended this year.....

As do I. I may have over-reacted, but Nico looked every bit the part. WHO would you trade him for right now?

Neither is their QB.

That’s true. Forgot about that

That’s true. Forgot about that

Give it a few years and it will change again. We are headed to a AFC NFC setup in NCAA.

I've been reading about that. University of Florida staff members racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in travel expenses after Ben Sasse allowed them to work remotely. That's ballsy.

Surprises me too. I thought Sasse was a pretty good guy. That reminds me of some of the trouble we used to have here.

Did anyone hear that Ricky Pearsall was shot in San Franciso today while being robbed.

Confirmed on the news just now. Said he’s going to be OK.

Reality is setting in and the faithful are acknowledging the current status.

Billy looking lost.

Billy looking fired.
