    I already have it too but just the other day saw a Disney+ Bundle promotion for $1.99 a month the first 3-months (or something like that).

    Update: Sorry . . . it was or is $1.99 for a month. Even better.

    Funny you should mention this.

    It's always been my opinion that going for it on 4th down is a vastly underutilized opportunity to get an edge up on your opponent.

    That said, obviously there are situations where it should not be attempted.

    But there are so many where it should be attempted, but is not.

    The key to the whole thing of course is to work on certain plays that are absolutely guaranteed to work. I'm not convinced that is done - but it should be.

    Those plays might include some razzle dazzle even. Or a long bomb when you only need 3 yards. Kinda like we did last week on that one play....

    Team needs a blowout. 59-0 with multiple three and outs forced by the D. Would like the backups to play most of the second half. Really like to see what Kitna can do.

    GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The oddities sometimes pile up for games such as the one between the Gators and Eastern Washington.

    First, due to the impact of Hurricane Ian on the state, the game was moved from Saturday to Sunday. The Gators last played a Sunday game more than 45 years ago, losing to Texas A&M in the Sun Bowl to cap the 1976 season.

    Next, this is the first time the FCS-classified Eagles have played Florida. In fact, it's the first time Eastern Washington has faced a team from the Southeastern Conference.

    Members of the Big Sky Conference, the Eagles are 11-28 all-time against FBS opponents, including a 70-14 loss at Oregon on Sept. 10. The Gators have faced two opponents against the Big Sky in their matchups against FCS programs, defeating Montana State 69-0 in 1988, and Idaho 63-10 in 2018.

    The Gators seek to rebound from last week's loss at Tennessee, which marked the first time since 1986 that UF has lost its first two conference games of the season. Florida will dive deeper into the SEC schedule after Sunday's game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, but as the season stands, a visit from the Eagles appears to have landed on the doorstep at a good time.

    Florida has won 14 consecutive nonconference regular-season games and looks to extend that streak against an Eastern Washington team the Gators hope leaves The Swamp with nothing except a good payday.

    Here is a look at the Gators' win streak over nonconference opponents:

    SEASON OPPONENT RESULT
    2018 Charleston Southern W 53-6
    2018 Colorado State W 48-10
    2018 Idaho W 63-10
    2018 Florida State W 41-14
    2019 Miami W 24-20
    2019 UT Martin W 45-0
    2019 Towson W 38-0
    2019 Florida State W 40-17
    2021 Florida Atlantic W 35-14
    2021 South Florida W 42-20
    2021 Samford W 70-52
    2021 Florida State W 24-21
    2022 Utah W 29-26
    2022 South Florida W 31-28

    I wonder how or if this will affect preparation for the Missouri game.

    I expect it will because most coaches have their programs on a set schedule preparing for the next game and we are losing a day here, the one thing that we have learned in the last few seasons however is that you need to be able to adapt to changes, sometimes on short notice!

    Here we go again disrespecting the opponent! This doesn’t work out for us usually. If we don’t play hard the fall out will be ugly come Monday .

    It would be nice to see some defensive domination. Now that I think about it, total domination would be good too.

    Stay safe.

    Analytics say you should go for it on 4th downs. I like that Billy is embracing the changes in the game. We want to be ahead of the curve.

    Apparently no one will be watching. Not on tv according to another thread.

    The win means nothing but it’s more like a valuable scrimmage.

    Well, since that post the storm sure made a shift in its path! And that puppy has cranked out some water. Coulda sworn I saw a trailer (along with a house) in the storm surge in Fort Meyers. But I was hoping it'd hit the big bend- it has less inhabitants.

    Heck, I used to stay at a trailer a pal owned-on the river. Isolated. And quiet. A simple trailer. I ain't wishing no harm to no folks. :oops:

    Whelp, maybe to some bad guys. Ha!;)

    Go Gators:)

    Not coming out flat at noon on Sunday after a hurricane will be a victory of sorts.
