Go Gators.
When does FSU play a real team...oh that's right, they're in the ACC.

Instead, FSU opened vs. Miami for what, 3 years in a row there? lol. There's a great way to start off the season.
Oh....and since when is it FSU's fault that the ACC isn't the best conference in the league? Get serious. Any time ANY team plays FSU, they still have that mentality that "FSU is the team to beat" as they were in the 90s....so teams like Wake, Duke, UNC all come out guns ablaze and actually look like a division 1 team, unlike when they play anyone else (except for when UNC embarasses Miami via Butch Davis).
Anyways, nice win over Hawaii. I don't think anyone in Hawaii saw that coming.......but I did, lol. Hawaii was a nice easy opener for you guys. Good to get the boys starting nice and easy, avoid early injuries.

It was definitely an easier game than I think most expected.
ACC had a tough Saturday to open the season. Ouch.
FSU chose to go to the ACC vs another more competitive football conference ions ago. They had a choice. Everybody does. As the story goes UF dropped Miami from the regular schedule after the SEC got a Championship game and based on the "in conference" schedule. How true is that? I don't know so I'm not claiming this as fact plus I'm biased anyway.
FSU most years for a couple decades has never had a particularly competitive "in conference" schedule and only recently had to compete in a Championship Game. Their out of conference games were always the biggies (UF, Miami, etc.) - not the ACC. Them winning that was a given. The in-state games between the 3 are always intense no matter who's doing what. I like that all 3 teams play at least right now anyway.
Let's see how the season treats Joe Pa and Grandpa Bowden. That should be a fun story even though Joe says he doesn't care about it since they are both close friends.
Bottom line...great to have football back so best of luck to all the Florida teams.

Watched the UK-Louisville game yesterday. Sure was nice to watch them get manhandled.
Looks like they're going to need to worry about the quarterback at Louisville. He was inconsistent, inaccurate, and threw 2 consecutive picks, that I saw.
