Who’s Going to Gator, and What’s Your Story?
- Thread starter The-Hack
- Start date
You ain't getting rid of me that easy. I've been here since this board's inception. The boards before that as well. I still have people on here I like to talk to. Even those with a different opinion on things than I have.
Well, you haven’t given up on L’s down.
I gave up on Cal 5 years ago, but seldom post on the basketball forum.
I don't post on either board like I used to. Mostly just in game threads and occasionally a few other threads. Tired of both coaches honestly. Hate the ridiculously long contracts for tons of guaranteed money that disincentivizes them to do better.
Cal got fat and put the players way over the program. The results showed once he signed that contract. Stoops just seemed happy to go to bowl games with his conservative play not to lose style while taking shots at the fans. Then throw in players not fulfilling their scholarship obligations in both sports and I'm at my wits end.
And very little chance of rain!!
And remember, native Southerner’s like @Freetaxreturn remind us that 58 degrees in the Deep South is warmer than 58 degrees in the upper South.
I didn’t want to pull the humidity card but you backed me into a corner hack 🍺🥵
It’s proximity to the sun!!
The closer to the equator, the closer to the sun!!
That’s what the Brits told me in Antigua . . . after half a bottle o’ Rum it makes good bloody sense!!
By sheer guestimation, the lower bowl is nearly sold out.
Any tips on a good parking area?
Unfamiliar with the stadium and city. Driving up from Flagler and game time is noon. Will get an early start.
As I recall from ‘16, parking was very plentiful near the stadium.
We just fell into a line for parking about an hour before kickoff.
Reviewing the following, it sounds like the Jacksonville Fairgrounds are less than 200 yards from the home entry gates.
“Drive-up, single game day parking is available at the gate, as long as space is available. Drive-up parking at the gate on gamedays will be $50 by cash or card.”

My wife and I will be there at the Gator Bowl. It is less than an hour drive north from our house.
We are in 215. I think we are on the 10 yard line down from you.
People should know Hack was 78 at this time . ........ LOL. JK you friend , GO CATS .. our tailgating buddy from Paintsville is going , I have to work this week , going to Mx in Feb .
Took the grandkids last year and Visited St. Augustine. You won't regret it. The fort was great. And the ice cream shop across from the fort wasn't bad either. 😁
Whose decision was it last season in the bowl against Iowa to roll with Destin Wade and then stay with him despite back to back pick 6’s? Stoops?
Which ill equipped player will we roll with this bowl game to keep them happy?
For those spending money going to the game, how confident are you that Stoops and company will actually try and win this game?
Given that Stoops has a winning record in Bowl games, and given that 2022 was a tad unique (Florida Bowls are now our norm), and given that our starters at
95% of slots are playing, I feel very good about our chances.
Fair enough. But I’m not talking about our chances of actually winning. I’m talking about if our coaches will actually try to win this year.
It was obvious to anyone who tuned in last season against Iowa that trying to win that game wasn’t on the forefront of our staff’s mind as evidenced by their trotting Destin Wade out there despite what was obvious to everyone about him.
In fairness, Ray Davis opting to play is reason for at least some optimism, but you’d have to be really naive to put faith in this staff to have the team ready to play this game given A). What happened last season B). Stoops committing to leaving for A&M before returning when his assistants didn’t want to leave.
In a perfect world the team and staff would be motivated to make a statement and build momentum for the offseason against a more than worthy opponent that has become a national brand. What a perfect opportunity to seize upon for the future of the program. Which is exactly why I fully expect to throw a stinker.
Again, it’s not a matter of if I believe we can win, it’s a matter of if the staff even cares to win.
The Coaches did not control Levis’s decision not play.
And I doubt anyone else on the remaining roster have us a better chance to win than did Wade.
But don’t you try to find out (if someone else on the roster would have a better chance)?
Destin Wade threw BACK-TO-BACK PIC 6’s. Shouldn’t you try to find out after that? Hell, maybe just start the second half out with someone else. But they didn’t. They kept trotting Destin out there. So say again, the Coaches were not trying to win. It was a shit-show. Absolutely pathetic. Stoops and staff have a lot to prove on Friday.
This is a weird thread to read when you have someone on ignore.
