Was just reading some article on Napier and I could not help myself wishing he loses every game this year. Is this just spiteful and mean to have these thoughts? Wondering if my old man grumpiness is getting the better of me these days.

It's Wednesday, my dudes. Post whatever you want here including your Gator Memes

Self promotion of your own content (videos, podcasts, blogs) is welcome.

There's some really strong pieces. Lots of returning starters on defense.

The WR room is absolutely loaded.

RB room also very strong.

I feel pretty good about QB. I think either Tramel or Philo will end up being at least decent starters.

Where is the weakness? Is our oline undermanned?

I'm not expecting us to go undefeated or make a deep run in the playoffs or anything. Just curious what the experts are saying. Where are we likely behind our rivals. Definitely not WR or RB. I would expect the defense as a whole to take a step forward and they were already pretty good last year. Our offense was a mess.

TLDR: I’m hoping to find someone who has an extensive VHS library of gator games so that I can digitize them and post them online for Gator fans everywhere to watch.

Why would you want to watch Florida v Central Michigan from the 97 season? Idk but I want to give people the option lol

Orange jerseys are back vs Campbell, throwbacks are against South Carolina

Hey everyone! I’m looking to connect with some fellow Florida Gators fans here in the Salt Lake City area.

I used to live in Gainesville, and my household were all Gators fans. I’ve since ended up in Utah and would love to find some other Gator fans to watch games with, talk college football, or maybe get a little local Gators group going.

I know there have to be some of us out here!

If you’re a Gators fan in SLC or the surrounding area, drop a comment or shoot me a DM.

Go Gators! 🐊🐊
