I think it will be an easy win. We'll go up 30-something to 10 in the middle of the third. Then, as much as he'd like to hang a hundred, Day will take his foot off the gas and get the starters out because he knows tcun will start getting chippy, start provoking fights and even trying to injure. It's who they are.

It's not like they'll ever be held accountable for even the worst behavior. Sherrone won't do anything, and the university President runs around their locker room wearing a jersey.

I'd take a 35-10 win with no injuries or provoked reaction suspensions.

Florida Gators (official thread)

Lawsuit Between Gators Billy Napier and Former Commit Gets New Update​

Filed over half a year ago, a judge will soon hear arguments to dismiss the lawsuit

Back in May, former Florida Gators signee Jaden Rashada filed a $10 million lawsuit against Gators head coach Billy Napier, former Florida NIL director Marcus Castro-Walker and booster Hugh Hathcock.

On Wednesday, Dec. 18, a U.S. District Judge will hear arguments for multiple motions to dismiss the case. Back in July, Napier, Castro-Walker and Hathcock filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit.

According to Napier’s attorney, Hank Coxe III, Rashada’s own complaint shows that the Gators head coach was not involved with what occurred between Rashada and the Gator Collective.

“Nothing alleged in the complaint supports the notion that Napier participated in any wrongdoing,” Coxe wrote. “Nowhere does the complaint adequately allege, for example, that Napier knew about whatever occurred between Rashada, his ‘NIL agents’ and the Gator Collective, LLC.

Rashada’s 37-page lawsuit alleges that Napier, Castro-Walker and Hathcock all took part in deceiving him regarding an NIL deal worth $14 million, originally leading to Rashada flipping his commitment from the University of Miami to Florida. By switching his commitment to Florida, Rashada allegedly left $9.5 million on the table from the University of Miami.

Hathcock, a Gator “mega-booster”, was eventually no longer involved with the deal, leaving it in the hands of Gator Collective, now known as Florida Victorious. With Hathcock no longer contributing, Gator Collective reached out to Rashada in an attempt to terminate the deal. Despite Gator Collective’s attempt to terminate the deal, Rashada’s lawsuit alleges that Napier and Castro-Walker continued to assure him that the deal would remain intact.

Yeah from what I remember Gabriel had a clean pocket and could usually step up if anyone pressures from the edge. Recently they've been much more willing to twist DL and have been a lot better at executing blitzes up the middle.

It might not be execution as much as the the LBs and DL working together to confuse OL instead of the DL being static bull rushes and the back 7 working around what they were doing.
so was the only difference that our front seven was bringing the bull rush against indiana, but for whatever reason we weren’t doing that against nebraska or purdue or northwestern?

and if that’s the reason, then why didn’t we do that against the other teams we faced except indiana?

i’m asking because i’m curious what the result would have been had we been able to disrupt gabriel’s pocket… and whether we will be able to do that in a rematch with oregon.

What can you do to ensure a late score against you?

It's always a great strategy to set the stage by talking crap. Blow your own horn a lot and pretend you're Jim Tressel. Heck, tell a large crowd back home that the #2 team in the country sucks.

Brag about how you have run up the score more than any other team, ignoring that your SoS is among the worst in college football.

Just in case they miss you asking for it, wait until they call off the dogs late in the 4th quarter and you score. Go for a meaningless 2 point conversion to show them you are unbowed.

Humble pie. It's what you decided to feed your team and fanbase.

*2024 tCun Shenanigans, Arguments, Cobras, Feckless Marmots, Fake Pandas, Dirty Cheaters

When they issued the NOA back in August, Hairball couldn't keep his mouth shut and the NCAA promptly slapped him with a 4 yr show cause and 1 yr suspension, should he try to return to CFB in the next 4 yrs.

This isn't going to be the nothing-burger the dfbia believes.

What are the odds that several current and former players were gambling on their games and if so, would this be an NCAA violation? It seems like it should be, and given their rallying cry of "Bet!" it just seems to be perfectly on-brand for them to openly gloat about breaking the rules.

edit - I found this:

Who is not allowed to bet on College Football?​

While many fans can legally bet on college football, certain individuals are prohibited from doing so, regardless of age or location. This prohibition primarily applies to those directly involved in the sport, such as players, coaches, team staff and game officials. The NCAA has strict rules against gambling for anyone affiliated with college sports, and violations can result in severe penalties, including suspensions, fines and even permanent bans from the sport. This is also why many states ban betting on in-state programs.

Additionally, university staff, athletic department employees and individuals with access to insider information are also barred from betting on college sports. These rules are in place to preserve the integrity of the game and to prevent conflicts of interest that could compromise the outcome of a match.

I know some will be saying “well they have nothing to lose” which I’d agree with if they hadn’t stole the last 4 years from us.

I think just on the losses itself our team will have the motivational edge.

Then a hidden benefit I think is that TCUN won in an eye brow raising fashion last week. So sure they have 5 losses but that’ll get the guys attention this week too.

We just have to get them away from running the ball and the best way to do that is to score early and often. Go score your first three possessions and watch them panic.

"They have nothing to lose" in this case only implies a barrage of mickey mouse fuckery plays and dirty play. You'd hope we are well prepared for both.

I think the NW game last week was probably a dose of false confidence for them though. That was the most pathetic 50 point display you will ever see but you got the DFBIA over here acting like it was some elite explosion. Most of it was due to NWs somehow worse offense handing them easy points with good field position all 2nd half. They didn't even hit 400 yards of offense. The talk about the QB and OL turning the corner is comical.

So, not likely to hear anything wrt punishments until sometime in first quarter 2025. Not surprising. Who that impacts the most are their current recruits/commits. But, you know what? Fuck them. It's common knowledge tCun are under investigation for one of the worst offenses in CFB history and as a repeat offender, no less. Some people will wail about it being unfair to the kids...but they made their bed.

Kids can all transfer and be immediately eligible. They'll be fine.

Tsun will be back recruiting "under scouted" 3 stars on the New England Prep scene circuit in no time

Sports 'journalists' (Who Don't Work For ESPN)

Lots of talking heads criticizing Day for running the score up on an inferior opponent. The same opponent that they had predicted was going to humiliate Day. Karma bitch.
The same talking heads who would've criticized Day for winning but not convincingly enough had they taken a knee and won 31-15.

I'm confident we win i'm just not confident it's going to be the blowout that we want. I get the feeling this game is going to be more like the 2009 game (21-10 win over a stumbling Rich Rod club)

I say this because of our tendency to start very slow, and i'm guessing scUM is going to do all they can to just drain the clock to avoid a total beating.

In the end just win.

I would be thinking of '09 too if they played in AA. It'll definitely be close at half due to how much clock is getting drained, especially in the first quarter. If OSU gets 17 or more and holds them to 7 or less, I'll be very happy. Do that, and smother them in the second half and get a 27-13 win. I want more, but the win is all that matters.

I'm more concerned about those pieces of shit starting fights and trying to injure players. I fully expect constant chirping, shoving and a few choreographed incidents ala the kickoff in '13. They'll put in some dogshit senior out to go after knees or throw a punch so the ref sees retaliation and it won't matter if they get kicked out. They're the lowest of the low and I expect OSU to be prepared for it.
