    They could just let opposing coaches officiate the game like a little league practice game too.

    About the only thing missing is playing it on Thursday night.


    I mean, Thursday night in Gainesville. The last one doesn't count. I hope...

    I was thinking, my July stroke took away some of my vision so maybe it took away my ability to hear monotones.

    I’ve said for a long time now if Beth is calling the game your team sucks. She has called a lot of Gator games the last twenty years.

    Thanks. I don’t have a DVR and have tried syncing the ESPN stream to the online radio stream, but have not had much success.

    It is not necessarily if the teams sucks - if the match up sucks as well. And this one does.

    She normally gets the noon snooze fest game. Getting the snooze fest in prime time is actually a step up.
