The CheckerBoard

Now you're just talking out of your a$$. You obviously have not watched 1 second of UT this year. Debose has been at UF for 3 years and Justin Hunter has more yards and TD's than Debose. You have a point with Rainey but, I would take Marlin Lane over them in a pro style O.

this thread is going to crack 100 posts in a hurry....

Tennessee Volunteer fans should know that the Volunteers run a pro style offense. So the spread has nothing to do with this conversation. Ummmm The Colts, Bucs, and Minnesota all have terrible defenses. So let me get this straight, u honestly think that the gators wont blitz one time lol????? The way to beat Brady is to knock him on the ground with blitzes... same with Rodgers.... same with Manning.... The dolphins last night sat back and play zone defense the whole game and got torched....

Neither do NFL games.

I think the biggest thing is that he says we have proved nothing against a weak team like Cincy, and yet he is giving us his breakdown based on watching FL in their first two games against FAU and UAB. I'm not saying FL isn't good or won't beat us, but I definitely saw kinks in the armor, sloppy play/penalties, a weak UAB line making holes against this "top defensive line," UAB QB getting throws off and beating a weak UF secondary (too bad UAB receivers werent good enough to capitalize ) etc... Again, not saying we will win, but The bottom line is that both of these teams are young and untested. But, I have more hope going into this game this season than I have for the last 4 years. And I definitely don't think this team will go into this game scared. They will go into the Swamp believing they can win, and I do too!

You make respectable points, Gator. Not to say i agree with everything you say, but I'll be the first to admit I'm looking through orange tinted lenses. I think it's great as a Tennessean to be back in the saddle of "maybe we can win this game"! No doubt Florida's gonna bring it. I'm sure it's just as big a game to your staff as it is to ours.

Further, the accolades of the Gator staff are pretty incredible. We had that for exactly one year once. Likely, the Gator staff will prove better than the one we had bolt to USC. But, beware that a "super staff" such as this is extremely tough to keep together. I certainly wouldn't wish upheaval like we experienced on anyone (though I believe most others on this board would join me in saying they believe the change was for the best). I won't speak for anyone else when I say I hope you guys enjoy good continuity in your staff. I believe it would be awesome if UF and UT could swing the power of the SEC back to the East and make the UF/UT game THE game of the year in the SEC East--winner most likely going to the conference title game (barring unforeseen disaster).

I hope you guys go with ONLY 1 loss this year! Cheers.

Holy Moses... Who parted the red sea here... .

I can tell you don't live in Jacksonville lol. Most Gator fans share his opinion. They don't watch other games and don't listen to sane people. Hell, talk radio today was all about how Tebow has been mistreated by Fox.

Good job, Checkerboard. Feel like a proud parent right now. Was a few times when I was getting nervous, but overall I think the culture here might even survive Florida week.

Gatorbait you keep bringing up the blitz like we dont have a O-line that could handle it. Last year most of our offense line had just played 2 games. This year its a different situation and I know you believe that Muschamp is a beast and your Defense will run all over us cause of his great wisdom. Lets just not forget this is not last years team so you might want to calm down.

Don't talk about the blitz. He gets very upset. Truth be known, REAL Gator fans are nervous because they couldn't get home without extra guys against UAB and FAU.

He only has 56 posts on 247, so I have a feeling someone put him up to it. It almost felt like it was an attempt to bait the board, and when it failed he started ramping things up to provoke the desired reaction. But we held strong and didn't give him (or any other Florida fan) the pleasure of seeing that.
