Thought I'd get an early jump on this HUGE game this weekend. Should be a classic. Winner likely heads to Atlanta to face Bama for the SEC crown. Great Article on the intensity of this year's game. Go Gators!!!
Go Gators indeed! I know a ton of Georgia fans so we better win. I feel really good about this game tho. I just think this defense will show up and slow down Georgia's run offense
Don't be soo sure. Florida's defense has been lights out this year. Anyone wanna start making score predictions
I do remember Dogs disappearing near the student union where the real Gators use to roam . Snack time .
Georgia kept him sandbagged until the Gator game last year.He is a great back but he no longer will be a surprise.
Ok...Mo...you know I am not a huge Gator fan until Meyer leaves...but...here goes... two ways to look at this from a match up standpoint..Georgia is either A) battle tested..or B) worn out...they have had some better opponents but none I would consider a great team (maybe Bama)...these are two great teams. Georgia has had Arizona State, Bama and Vandy. They had ASU at ASU and did not get back until late Monday to Athens then layed an egg the first half, and played much better the second against Bama...IMHO both teams will be ready. Georgia is also a bit beat up. Florida has smoked most of their opponents but most have been mediocre....LSU is a decent not great team this year with QB struggles and Miami is basically a HS team this year. I had called Florida having trouble with Ole Miss early in the season because they can pressure with 4 (Hardy) and their QB Snead plays under control much like Stafford. So we find out alot about Florida this week IMHO. Originally I thought Georgia easily, and thought Florida was way overrated (mostly due to a lousy schedule), but the Gators seem to have refocused and are taking no prisoners.... So Mo I give you the kiss of death...I think that Georgia is too beat up mentally and physically and hangs tough the first half but the Gators win pulling away and cover....my caviat is if Moreno gets the ball 15-18 times in the second half then Georgia will win close. I do think that the SC match up should worry the Gators...but the schedule sure does favor the Gators this year, getting a bad Hawaii team after a bump in their rep, getting a very young Miami team early, a terrible Tennessee team, an even worse Arkansas team, Ole Miss I thought would be a problem, a down LSU, a at best average Kentucky team, a beat up Georgia (murderers row schedule), a beat up Vandy, SC I think will be a problem, and an FSU team that does what they are supposed to do but IMHO is somewhat overrated), an off week against The Citadel, no Auburn this year....and an SEC championship game if they get by Georgia and SC IMHO....... SO Florida to plays Bama in the SEC championship game...........and the Gators win 38-21 versus UGa.............my guess anyway..
Wow you guys are all pretty optimistic. I hope you are right, but don't really know what to think going into this game. I do think Meyer is pissed from last year and will have the Gators ready to play. The key is going to be slowing down Moreno. IF they do that, then I think we win pretty big. The best scenario would be to get a big lead 14 or 21 early and force UGA to become one dimensional. Basically for Moreno to become a non factor.
The reason I have the most hope is we can stop the run this year. We could not do that at all last year. The LSU game showed me that we can stop a great running team. Moreno will obviously be the best back we play however this will be the best D he faces. LSU really took it to the bulldogs running the football. If we can get Demps and Rainey loose than it will open up a lot. I am sooooo tired of seeing that celebration its making me sick. We better win on Sat.
You and me both brother. I am sure the other Gator fans hate it as well. I just wanna put my foot thru the TV everytime I see it! The players must be freaking out seeing it
If your a nuetral fan though fella's that was one of the greatest moves ever by a head coach!! Not only did it fire his own players up, it disheartened UF. That game was over right then and there. Im sure a guy like Meyer will be looking to retaliate in some way assuming Florida has the lead at some point. (for the record Im betting on UF -6)....so go Gators!
You cannot really compare the reputations of Mark Richt and Urban Meyer...they will be able to hold Urban Meyers funeral in a phone booth...Richt is well thought of generally.......
He'll just run up the score every chance he gets. Charlie Strong might continue to dial up blitzes even with a big lead. Remember, Urban and Beeeeliiicheeek are best friends, he learned from the master.
yeah I hate UF but because of the structure of the BCS, you have to crush your teams in order to attend the NC. I just don't get the complaints. It's part of the game now.
So much for neither team being able to play defense. Florida looks like a run away freight train right now. If they run the table and dont play for the NC it'll be a bigger farce than when Miami and Auburn were kept out a few years back.
it's tough, if you see teams like texas, bama, psu and florida all run the table from here on out, thats a really tough NC decision.. just emphasizes how flawed the bcs bowl system is i suppose
Vern Lenquist has been sucking Richt's **** all ****ing game. I would love to see Georgia fans even try to make that excuse. Note to all other NCAA teams: Dont piss off the Gators.
Since its inception, Ive always thought the BCS wasnt worthy enough to be used as toilet paper. If we had a real playoff system, Ohio St. wouldnt have sniffed the NC game the last couple years (not to mention they dont have a conference championship game, but I digress) And thats my biggest beef with the BCS. It rewards those teams in the major conf.'s who play the weak schedules. With that said, I cant wait to see Florida vs. Bama. Saban will finally get an *** whoopin from the state of Florida as payback!
You need to have Texas or Penn State lose or it doesnt matter if you beat the 1997 All American team YOU aint sniffing the NT game this year. That being said Florida has just demolished the last team who is any good on the schedule, great win for UF. I would love to see a Florida USC BCS game but the Rose Bowl is stubborn as far as their "tradition" goes. Florida left no doubt they are next in line if Texas or Penn State slip up assuming they handle Bama.
Well King you do realize Georgia was not fast enough to play with Florida..must be that "slow" conference they play in. UF just made Georgia and LSU look like a Big Ten team.
