I don't think even Corey could find fault with the UGA

    So what will be their reward? 4 losses and a minor bowl? Probably.

    that's a great schedule. It should be noted that until last season, their schedules were notoriously 'southern based.' They've really turned it on the last 2 years.

    You can talk about their 'reward' being 4 losses but that happens when you lose 2 1st round players that are the backbone of your offense AND you play a real schedule.

    Better than planning on 6 or 7 losses not because of schedule but because your team is, uh, below the level desired.:(

    Better than wondering which crappy home game chippy you are going to get your allotted tickets for. :(

    Spurrier's very first game as UF coach....and mine watching him as UF's coach....and my first game as a season ticket holder.....was in Sept. of 1990.

    The foe......was Ok.St. and UF smoked 'em. UF went on to play at an extremely talented FSU that year in the non-con as well but I am sure Corey was already cooking up ideas about UF's lousy schedule.... :lol:

    In any event it is sometimes not who you play but when you play them and this year it just might smart a little to play OkSt.

    Dave,

    Indeed.. That Okie State team you saw Florida smoke finished the year at 4-7. Their 4 wins that year came over Northern Iowa, Iowa State, Missouri (when they were awful) and Tulsa. The next year, they went 0-10-1.

    Last year's Okie State team finished 9-4. They did have a squeaker loss to Texas, however they got thumped by Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Oregon.

    This years team is suppose to be a top 10 team, but then again, Arizona State was suppose to be a great team.. who knows how those things will work out.

    We'll see in just about 2 months :)
