Prior to this season, I made a number of predictions regarding the Florida Gators' football team. I think I was wrong on every single one. I expected a "down year" of two to three losses.

For the third time in as many years the Gators scored an "underwhelming" multi–touchdown victory. In 2008, the Gators mauled Miami (FL) 26–3 in a game that was only 9–3 going into the fourth quarter. Miami had about 100 yards of total offense at that point and a 5–3 lead ...Published on: 30th August, 2010
It's finally here! Months of waiting, reading, waiting, trying to find other sports to fill the football void, disliking other sports for failing to fill the football void, waiting, and above all, months of speculating over things that couldn't be proven until September finally rolled around are over.Football starts this ...Published on: 25th August, 2010
Yesterday, two of the Gators' top recruits from the 2010 class were nowhere to be found. Apparently, Ronald Powell and Dominique Easley had a tough time Monday, and protested by failing to show up for Tuesday's practice. The two went as far as to threaten to transfer, according to an article ...Published on: 6th August, 2010
