There is some muted talk amongst the gator nation that can only be described as wishful optimism. They are saying that the gators are the sleeper team this preseason and Napier is going to come out very strong with a punch in the nose for Utah victory in a close game where Richardson showcases his accuracy and talent that gives them a 10 win season. Consistent with their long and proud history, they will beat teams that they do not belong on the same field with and will lose to at least one team that is very close to community college. They will shine early, suffer huge injuries, suffer transfers and make a bowl game days before Christmas that no one, not even them, really cares about.

Gators have a favorable schedule with 8 home games (including gator bowl). I'd love to see them go up to Knoxville and knock off the vols.

In BOLD are home games

Sep 3 SAT vs Utah 7pm ESPN
Sep 10 Sat vs Kentucky 7pm ESPN
Sep 17 Sat vs USF 7:30pm SEC Network

I'll be there. After a summer of doing work on the farm, I am acclimated to hot and humid. We will see how Utah fares in that department in the 4th quarter. Hard to prepare for that, I'd think.
