>I Really Want the Gators to Beat Them the Most This Football Season

>Ok, I’ve been a Florida Gator fan since roughly 1990, and ever since I’ve looked forward to the annual UF-UGA matchup. This season I’m tempted to say that I really want the Gators to chomp some charred Bulldog, but the memory won’t let it rest. I’m talking about the memory of last year’s SEC Championship game against the Crimson Tide of ‘Bama. Sure the Bulldogs are arguably our most hated rival, but I just don’t see them as a threat to anyone this year. Sorry Bulldogs.

Aside from the 32-13 debacle the Gators took from the Tide, I’m anxious to see how Alabama reacts to the loss of nine defensive starters. Sure the Gators lost the greatest offensive player in school history, but as always we have the speed to make any defensive coordinator shiver. I’ve been hearing too much talk about how fortunate Alabama is to bring back their offensive core. Greg McElroy (QB), Julio Jones (WR), and that darn backfield tandem, Trent Richardson and defending Heisman winner, Mark Ingram.

Never mind losing Spikes, Dunlap, and Haden, the Gators will be returning a pretty stunning secondary. Also, to replace Brandon Spikes we have rising star Jelani Jenkins who’s geared up to replace him. He’s a little undersized for a MLB at 225lbs, but the two time Mr. Maryland runs a 4.40. The Gators also managed to sign a total of three 5-star recruits on the defensive side of the ball. And they all play on the defensive line. Don’t think that coach Urban Meyer is all about scoring points.

In my opinion, the Gators are a lock for winning the SEC East once again. Given a returning quarterback and Nick Saban’s knack for play calling, I see ‘Bama taking the West once again too! This season’s game in Tuscaloosa will surely be crucial in terms of Gator confidence. We upset the Tide on their field and you’re looking at some serious drama going down in Atlanta this December. C’mon Gator nation, you know you really want to see ‘Bama go down!
