Hopefully its my BVS but I just don't feel confident going into this series...Gators were a unanimous pick to win the league unless I'm mistaken

I’m with ya bud. I’ve been stressing about this one since last Sunday.
I think Coach V has this team playing with confidence at this point. It’s going to take some really good play to take a series from the Vols!
GBO!!

Good luck this weekend.

Just a brief synopsis of Florida so far. Nothing has been "bad", but nothing has been as good as it was supposed to be.

Lineup is that way.
Starting pitching is that way. Main issue is control problems which are not typical of an O'Sullivan team.
The other thing is that they have the ability to do something stupid at any moment which is also not typical. A baserunning mistake, etc. Last weekend there was a fly ball the CF clearly called for and the LF clearly heard it because he slowed up and sort of began to peel away. But, he was so cavalier about it he still bumped into the CF who luckily still made the catch. But, it was a WTH moment for sure.

And they don't have the pitching depth that they typically have.

Talent is there and there's a lot of season left before figuring out whether it's going to be like this all year or they'll flip a switch.

Good luck to you as well 99! A brief synopsis for us... we struggle at times to score with RISP, hasn’t hurt us so far but we haven’t faced the best competition yet.

Gritty team but Spence not at SS hurts us a bit and I think both UF and UT are trying to find answers for Saturday pitching.

Stats alone say this is pretty even, but I think you guys have played a bit of a tougher schedule.

Good to see yer still hanging ‘round these parts!

Sounds like a good matchup. A couple of weeks ago, we had a base runner pass the runner in front of him. Can you top that screw up?

A series win against the Vols would go a long way in proving the gators can be relevant in the SEC race.
GBO!!

I hope we can fry up some gator meat & send these lizards back home with their crying towels intact..

Chad Dallas will bring the high hot heat & in hopes of blowing past these guys from Gainsville.

Dallas first pitch almost hit the first batter up. GBO !!!

Folks can say what they want about Kesling, but he's not as bad as many say.

Folks like me who just don't like the guy are admittedly hypercritical of every little gaffe. It's really just our coping mechanism.

Did they ever say Spence is nursing an injury or did they just try to get a little more offense in the lineup?
