I like what it looks like with the program and the buzz going on. However, what's with all the "when Manny was hired I was skeptical but now that we are still two months from his first game I'm sold" posts?
You're putting WAY too much on the UF game. While we would all love to win that one, would be big for our program all around, and I actually think we will win... we can lose to UF and be just fine. What you are describing above applies to us not making it to Charlotte this year.
Perhaps this is reasonable.
If UF wins the game, the only way forward is Blake James and the entire football program staff (secretaries included) perform ritual Seppuku at the 50 yd line.
The act will be completed at the same instant of a flyby of The Banners.
I really feel above is within realisitc and expected boundaries.
Am I in the minority on this? Who is with me!!??
Manny hasn't done anything. Same rah rah hype when Mork was here. Manny has his first biggest decision to make and that is choosing the QB he will ride and die with. Fans have no more patience. You got your IPF. You got the dorms. You got new expensive coaches. You got new fancy stadium. You got pipelines all over the state. No excuses. Manny needs to win this UF Game badly. Manny won't get a pass like Mork did. None of this we're still building bullshiit or look on the bright side crap if he loses to UF.
Blake James hired Manny within minutes of Richt retiring and went on to say we would beat UF just a few days later. BJ knew what he was getting into. Don't make promises you can't keep. I'll lay the tarp on the field myself. Don't get any blood on the grass...
I get that we know more than the national pundits, but Vegas still has the #8 team in the country as a TD favorite for a reason. I see the Gator deficiencies, and I see our improvement. However, can we learn the new offense fast enough, can we find an OT, can we stay healthy? That's where my head is at in his first year. All of the stuff he is doing right now is for the recruits coming up. And he has to, but Enos and the other coaches are going to make or break him coming out of the gate. That's what fall practice will be about, that's where he earns our buy in. We will see all the work he is putting in right now on August 24. On August 25, if we have won, the Diaz regime will be fine. If not, we need to work that much harder to be on the level of a top 10 team, which the Gators start out as. Then we do the best we can the rest of the season against arguably the easiest schedule in America (2-12).

That's the hope.Vegas also had Miami as a top 10 team and favorite over LSU. UF is us last year , a mirage that went into the season overrated.
They’ll drop 4-5 games minimum.
Never mind that you specifically mentioned it. Some people just can’t help themselves.Agree, I mentioned that. But this excitement and off-season activity sure comes close to some of the game-win atmospheres of the past. I’m just hi lighting the mood and the possibilities.

SegretoI can’t recall his name (Italian sounding), later went on to be an anchor.
That would have been noon on ch. 6 .Gordon Solie?
You are just looking at it too narrowly. Yes, immediately after week 1 the UF game will have a massive impact on national perception, good or bad. But by season's end, nobody (including recruits) will give two sh-ts that we beat florida if we end up 7-5 or 8-4 and don't win a dreadfully weak coastal this year. Theres no team in all of sports I'd rather beat than the gator but what will be considered a success for the new Manny regime is way bigger in scope than just the opener vs them.
I just looked him up... cool he’s a U alum and been retired for 10 yrs. Back in the day he was the news sports king.Segreto

Manny is probably going to lose the UF game. In fact. I would put money on us losing that game. However, that doesn't mean schit. They are a lot more talented than us, the game will basically be a home game for them, and we are trotting out a new QB.
If Manny doesn't win the Coastal, I will agree that we made the wrong decision in hiring him.
Lol... a good post for 2:03 am brother. OriginalGatorLover, and putting money on them, lmfao. Dude... pragmatism is not tolerated here.Manny is probably going to lose the UF game. In fact.
