Thoughts:  Urban's first season will not produce the great results that are expected, but given a year or two Florida will explode.

Blurb: As a Gator, I had to promise a win over Florida State this year, and its not like it couldn't realistically happen. As far as the reast of it goes, Tennessee won't get lucky on bad calls this season, those punks are going down. Gotta look at some of the SEC teams and what happend to them... so we'll know soon. In all seriousness, passion as a fan aside, I don't see any reason why the Gators shouldn't be able to go perfect this season, but just as with everything else we'll just have to wait and see.

[Hazard]

Now don't anyone freak out, I honestly expect the Gators to loose a game (possibly two, depending on how the SEC championship game goes) but I have no idea who the loss will go to. No, I'm not predicting a perfect season.

[DarkMinion]

The only reason I want to put your team at 2-4 losses is: new coach.  Even if it is Urban Meyer.  A new coach almost always leads to a down year.

[Hazard]

You're right, coahces do seem to lead to down years. But not Urban Meyer. I don't want to be an Urban Freak, but I'm just saying. Its like I said, I don't expect to go undefeated I just don't know who will beat us.

eww University of Florida
I go to FSU, so you can understand my sentiment.
Hey, if you ever need tickets, we can work something out

[DarkMinion]

I meant to say a coach from a small school goes up to a big school and there's always a down year.  Period.  I'm sorry, Hazard, but Urban Meyer is human...

[Hazard]

Its like I said, we'll see.

I think Urban Meyer will be introduced to SEC football in a rude way his first year, as shown above.

[DarkMinion]

I would worry about that game @ South Carolina too

[DarkMinion]

Seems that Urban is human after all...

[Grok]

I was a week off   Never saw this coming preseason.  Bama is actually good.

[Hazard]

Like I said, I expected a loss at some point. Alabama looks good, the Gators looked HORRIBLE. Oh well! In college football there's always still next week .

[DarkMinion]

...as I expected, the Florida offense is not quite in sync yet with Meyer's system.  Blind faith is Hazard's mistake here...with a new system there is almost always a dropoff.  Especially with an unorthodox system like Meyer's.

[Hazard]

I dunno, the system worked okay vs. Georgia didn't it?
