    I’m just here to make my weekly “Neal Brown is a fucking clown” comment. Like seriously, 45-10, except we got a pity TD to make it 18 and they scored with 25 left and they didn’t give it to them. It’s so tragic I spent $1k on season tickets to watch this bullshit. 1 1/4 enjoyable games at home. Watched us die against Penn State (with a 2 hour weather delay). We beat Albany. We beat Kansas (and looked like shit for 3 quarters and also had another 2 hour weather delay). Got the shit kicked out of us at a night game by ISU. Got the shit kicked out of us even worse tonight by KSU. Only have Baylor and UCF left; Baylor just beat up on Zona, and UCF plays ISU way closer than we did.

    This team is painful.

      Would love to be wrong about Billy, but he probably needs to surprise in one of the gauntlet games and take care of business against a very weak FSU to save his job.

      Still, they definitely had some moments and actually put a team away, eventually.

      3rd quarter ends with Kentucky at about midfield versus a Florida D that is either tiring or is being coached to give up some yards to milk the clock. Neither idea is particularly impressive, but Lagway looks like the future and we’ve yet to see Billy do anything truly head-scratching, so we got that going for us…

      Florida gets some home cooking on the initial call on third-and-goal. Another good drive for DJ though. 34-20.

      Well, THERE’s the special teams breakdown that comes from not prioritizing it and tempting the football gods by calling it the “GameChanger Coordinator.”

      27-13 Gators after a weaving, slightly crazy KO return. And after some mild silliness, that’s how we go to halftime.

      Carbon copy of Florida’s previous TD drive. Nice run after a long completion down the seam sets them up. Somebody is NIL’ing the living bejeezus out of Lagway next year. I hope it’s UF.

      Weird sequence there. Gators intercept Vandagriff, then almost immediately Lagway gives it back on a very Freshman-y throw. Kentucky squanders the 63 yard return though, turning it over on downs because they were utterly uncreative. Florida maybe benefited from an early whistle (depends on whether you assume the DL lets up upon hearing it).

      Gators still up 3-0 at end of 1st quarter and back in the red zone. Lagway looks better against UK’s defense and with a proper week of preparation, but still playing a bit like a freshman. Florida D is holding up so far, but they just have that feel like Stoops is going to try to wear them out, and I’m not sure if the UF offense will be efficient enough to force UK into being one-dimensional.

        The secondary probably got an earful after the DB held onto a 4th-down arm-punt earlier and cost the Frogs 31 yards.

    Really glad they moved the set back to the South Mall after having it next to the LBJ Presidential Library the last several years. The Tower makes a much better backdrop than DKR. Although I don’t love that they used Smokey the Cannon to blow a hole through Beck’s jersey. I was at Gameday in 2019 when they did that to Joe Burrow’s jersey and remember how that turned out…
