Now before you go and say, "hey, this guy's post count is too low", just know that while I may not post much...I'm here EVERYDAY getting my Gator fix. So, anyway...
My BOLD PREDICTION...

WE WILL NOT LOSE A GAME UNTIL FEB. 26, 2013 IN KNOXVILLE!!!

If we get by Arizona next week, we will not drop a game until we play at UcheaT. I was feeling Mizzou might be our first loss but Dixon quit the team this week and now it's UT. We will enter the SEC Tourney with 1 loss and be ranked #1 or #2 depending on how IU and Dook do this season. So there it is, JM2C!!

Nah...even when we had back to back national titles, we had 6 and 5 losses each respective year.

And your post count is too low.

lean_gator · 12-01-2012, 03:47 PM

Jinx thread. Probably will lose to a garbage f$u team now.

**maverick** · 12-01-2012, 03:49 PM

Too early in season, lots can happen

gatorbogey · 12-01-2012, 03:54 PM

Are you saying we will be Arizona? Your post isn't clear...

**njgator11** · 12-01-2012, 06:52 PM

love it and agree! we have a tremendous hoops team with length, athleticism, debth, shooting, etc. Love this team!

tsagator · 12-01-2012, 07:11 PM

I say we do, but if we dont then we wont lose again until UT. As Mick Hubert says...BOOK IT!!!

themistocles · 12-01-2012, 10:44 PM

Too early in the season.

If they were to play the way the did against Marquette every game, your statement may have some validity, but, unfortunately, sometimes they play the way they did against UCF.

InstiGATOR1 · 12-01-2012, 10:58 PM

Peaks and valleys are the way a season goes. In 2005-06:

1. UF was the last team to lose that season opening as I remember 17-0.

2. Then after opening up 8-3 in the SEC lost 3 in a row and were in some danger of pulling a Clemson, ie last team to lose but not make the NCAA tourney.

3. UF righted the ship and Noah led UF to a win over UGa with I think 33 points.

4. UF never again lost that season winning the SEC and NCAA tourneys.

This team has not been on the road yet. It is a mature team and we should be cautiously optimistic about how it will be as a road team, but lets play at FSU and Zona first.

And always remember there still will be peaks and valley. They are sometime unpredictable too. Let's just hope we get a peak at the end of the year too.

Didn't Brewer hurt his ankle and Jo get mono at some point in 05 after we were 17-0?

No, it was the next year that Brewer had mono while Noah and other got the flue:

and Horford sprained his ankle:

though I believe he did play in UF first of two wins over Ohio State that year which he did:

I put in these links because this has come up on several threads today with people muddling various details.

If Billy can continue to draw out the beast in Patric, who knows how good we can be.

ofmgator · 12-03-2012, 11:48 AM

Guys if we play well and get a good seed in the NCAA that's all that counts. Unlike football there is actually a real tournament and if you're in it you have a chance. A good seed will open the door for a better chance.

tegator80 · 12-03-2012, 11:54 AM

My better prediction: we will get a 1-seed in the tourney. Everything else is possible but not likely.

**ThePlayer** · 12-03-2012, 12:23 PM

Are we handling Arizona on the road?

**Bear1974** · 12-03-2012, 01:30 PM

I think we need to see what they do on a true road game especially if they can maintain what they have been doing defensively up to this point in time.

I think the one thing I always wonder about is the big head syndrome and people telling them how do they are right now.

If they continue to play with a chip on their shoulders and continue to play hard then I think we continue to see good things.

The Arizona game should be the game that we get to see if they are mentality ready or not for the conference season or not. Arizona has been playing pretty well especially this past Saturday against TTech. It looks like they play Clemson at Clemson the game right before they play UF so we get to see a glimpse of them.
