I didn't even know we played it mostly on the same weekend. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ It's an important game, but unless we're both in top form, it's our #3 rivalry, and the LSU game is closing in.

Now, to be clear, Florida is nowhere near spitting distance of being close to top form. Billy doesn't even need to win today to fend off the reaper, just look like a competent college coach that might win this game in a year or two.

In fact, I really can't lose today. Either we win and give fans of Runaway-Truck-Ramp UT fits for another year, we lose close and look competent, or we lose big and get a head start on stealing somebody's coach.

What is dead may never die.

I didn't either, I just know that I can count the wins I've seen against florida on one hand. That's the only team that's true for. Even the other members of the "big 3" that we face every year were "easy wins" when I was young. This game has always been a special game to me, so I've always hated the gators with a passion. As far as the name goes, I don't really like it. It feels like people were just trying to match TSIO (which to be fair when the florida game started to really become a rivalry bama was not really an exciting game). Here's to a good one today
