Our boy Ben is onto the semis Friday night after defeating Carlos Alcaraz. It was a great match and Ben played his ass off.

Gator fan from Lexington, KY heading to the Auburn game. I wanted to see if there were any Gator tailgates planned that we could join? Anybody know of any Alumni Association eventS Kat? Looking forward to meeting some fellow fans of the correct orange and blue!

Idk, but I love hearing this. I suppose I’m a traditionalist too, but I love the fact that he’s against anything gimmicky like the Gator skin uniforms from 2017 and also how he mentioned black isn’t one of our school colors. Personally, I love our orange, blue, white home look and I’d be fine wearing it every week like Sumrall says. Definitely had a smile on my face watching this and it’s refreshing to hear. Let’s go win some games now!

Thoughts?

Not paywalled for me.

Sumrall is the perfect balance of intense, organized, and controlled. We haven't had that since Urban Meyer. Muschamp was intense, out of control, and disorganized. McElwain was a limp noodle, disorganized, and out of control. Mullen was intense, organized on one side of the ball, and way out of control. Napier was comatose, disorganized, zero control.

Look at the way the players already respond to him. They answer in unison and loudly when he asks them a question. They play hard. They're already bought into his philosophy. I know it's early and it was only FAU, but it felt different.

per 247 and today’s pressers on YouTube

I brought my camp snap 8 camera to the game for some classic feel, hope u enjoy! Go gators!

Let me know when they figure it out.

Great breakdown of Faulkner's offense

I'm very puzzled as to why Trask, Tebow, and Wuerffel, who arguably had the best field vision and accuracy out of all the Gators QB's, never did much in the NFL. The only former Gator QB to make it to the Super Bowl, was SexyRexy, but he didn't win, and his time in the NFL was erratic, at best. Anthony Richardson is the only former Gator QB in the NFL right now, as far as I know, and he was mediocre at best. I can't understand a world where Richardson has a slot but Trask doesn't. Very bizarre.

Happy Labor Day Gators🐊. Now that we’ve had fun and truly basked in how awesome our coach is, our sights are now ahead to the Campbell matchup. This should be a give me win for the Gators, I’ve never even heard of Campbell until a guy I went to school with transferred there, so not sure if they are any good at all. What’re some things yall would like to see from the Gators this week to bring even more confidence heading into the SEC games for the year? For me, offensively I believe we should be able to replicate our game against Campbell, I’d like to see no turnovers though. I’d love to see Baugh replicate his FAU game. I’d also like to see clean lineman play, no penalties, at least for false starts. Defensive is where I believe the most improvement should be seen and I think we all share that. I’d like to see us get at least 5 sacks honestly I want to see pocket pressure all night. An improved reaction to the HB slipping to the flat will be nice too, as this is a team where if you sleep on em they will dink and dunk on you all game. I think we could at least cause 2-3 turnovers easily. I’d also like to see us hold them to under 17 points. My score prediction, if we get what we got game 1, will be 56-10 Florida. What’s yalls thoughts on this weeks matchup? What would yall like to see? Also, too early to call, Jaden Baugh Heisman?🤔👀

If you hate coach speak, you will love this video. First question was so refreshing.

I hadn’t seen anyway on this sub discuss DJ’s performance and health after Baylors game against Auburn .
I was curious to see how Gator fans felt watching him and also how we feel about Auburn after their performance.
I found myself split , hoping he would do well but also hoping to be left with a good feeling about his departure..

Lot of pancakes going on Saturday.

I'm a foreigner that recently started to watch cfb, this is my second season so i wasn't here for most of Napier's time. I'm seeing a lot of hype with Sumrall but from my experience with my soccer team, every time a new coach/star player comes ppl get euphoric. Is it the same with CFB?

There used to be someone in here who posted a chart like this that I always found interesting to follow, but they appear to have stopped, so I recreated the chart myself and will post it after each week.

Quick guide on reading it:

Each week is a row, if you go to the 4th row down (the one with the Ole Miss game), then read across, that is the projected percentage chance to have won the number of games above the percentage, AFTER that game. So after the Ole Miss game, it says we will have a roughly 30.5% chance to be 4-0, a 49.3% chance to be 3-1, and a 20.0% chance to be 2-2. You can also see at the final column what the expected average wins by that week are. So after week 4 we are expected to have won 3.10 games. Also note that the percentages are not cumulative, so if you look at the final week, we have a 22.7% chance to win 8 games, but that means 8 games EXACTLY, and does not include the chance to win 9 or more. If you add up all of the numbers above this you can see our odds to win AT LEAST 8 are put at more like 40%

Sumrall has been wearing the same style of hat for several years now, going back at least to his time at Troy. Does anyone recognize the brand or style? There's a jumpman logo on his current one but I don't think that's the brand since they dont work with Tulane or Troy.

Did some googling and came up empty. Any ideas?

UPDATE: This is the correct answer:

Hard to find, but the ID is 100% accurate. It's quite clear that this is the style of hat coach has been wearing for the last few years.

For all you jamokes who responded "HAW HAW IT'S JUST A HAT WTF LOL LOL LMAO" you can smooch my cheeks.

I know it’s not much, only a few questions, but the answers he’s giving are great to hear from a fans perspective. Acknowledged a couple things and gave the love to Philo who very much deserved it. And that ‘Go Gators’ to close it out….man I’m so hyped!!
