No one gives a damn about a modernized experience. Stick me in a hot ass stadium with 100% humidity and a Gator football team that’s kicking the shit outta people. That’s the ultimate experience.
The restoration of Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is being led by Crawford Architects, in association with Gensler.
This process will modernize the fan experience while maintaining many of the traditional elements, atmosphere, and capacity that Gator fans have enjoyed on game day
It’s really sad that some of you claim to be Gators “in all kinds of weather”… yet your sole purpose is to degrade the program and the players… even after a win. I get most are passionate and want to see better, but some of y’all need to log off and re-evaluate life.
I don’t care. I’m so proud of you
@GatorsFB
.. y’all played to win, not for a moral victory. I am so proud of how this team FOUGHT tonight against the
#1
team in the country. GO GATORS!
Received the coolest compliment from
@coach_bnapier
tonight. He was getting some food and said, “These guys can’t complain anymore with this.” 😂 had to smile and keep it moving.
Before we all celebrate, a lot of y’all owe some apologies: staff, Gator Collective, Hugh… lot of people working hard behind the scenes and just cause that ish ain’t posted on social media 24/7 doesn’t mean it ain’t happening.
Anyone know how to get into contact with Keyontae Johnson family? I know they’re probably in a hotel somewhere in Gainesville, and the least I could do is feed them while they’re here. DM me if you can help.
I’m convinced that ESPN and their talent hate Florida. They clearly point out every mistake, and every wrong call that goes for them. It’s pretty sickening.
Whatever comes out, EVERYONE needs to realize that it is not a reflection on the University of Florida former/current staff, players, faculty, or alumni. Period.
I’m not taking any moral victories… we lost. But from Emory, to the offensive line, and the defense, I am soo proud of you guys
@GatorsFB
. If you think this team can’t beat Alabama, you need to quit watching football.
I would appreciate if you guys said a prayer for my dad. He’s in the hospital and he’s not doing so well. Even if you don’t pray, a small one would be appreciated.
Billy Napier - “We’re not going to be perfect. We’re gonna have some growing pains.”
UF fans in January - “We understand coach! We love you.”
UF fans in November - “Everything is unacceptable. Fire Napier. Find an OC. No Development! I hate everything!”

I gotta quote this tweet real quick. If you guys aren’t proud of what’s happening around UF Football right now, you haven’t been paying close enough attention. Cheers to

@sierragriff
for putting in a crazy amount of work. We’re in good hands gang
I’ve seen/been apart of 5 coaching changes since becoming a Gator. This is the first time I’ve seen or heard of a staff holding an event and going out of their way to build a relationship of trust and friendship among current players and their parents. Well done
@GatorsFB
✊🏾
To the current players & current parents… we know y’all didn’t choose us as your staff, but we will work to build that trust. Thanks to everyone who came this weekend!!! 🐊🐊🐊
I wouldn’t never play for a coach that dogged his players like this. I’m legit sad for the student-athletes that play for this guy. I’ve never seen something like this before.
However, as a person that has absolutely NOTHING to gain from the situation. I’ve been close enough to watch Billy and the staff since January, they’re the right people for the job. Give them some damn time. Support when times are tough is hard, it’ll be worth it in the end.
Congrats to
@GatorsFB
for becoming bowl eligible. Can’t say how proud I am of
@coach_bnapier
and his great staff for what they accomplished this year. It’s once again Great to Be A Florida Gator! 🐊🐊
Need a good offensive line to be competitive consistently . Hit the portal and HS.. drop whatever bag needs to be dropped and go find 5 studs that don’t give AF and will mash people.
Anyone out there struggling financially, and can’t afford or have no place to go to eat for Thanksgiving? If so, dm me so I can cook you and your family a meal I can drop off to you this week. (I’ll probably be able to do 2 families) *Orlando, Jax, Tampa, Gainesville, or Ocala*
It’s okay to be frustrated about the current game today. I know I am. But to place blame on the current staff for the lack of recruiting, culture, and overall lack of accountability over the last couple of years is dumbassery at the highest level.
I got a legit question: why would anyone want to go to Miami other than Ruiz paying for players? If I were a recruit, after watching bullshit like this, I’d rather play for West Central Alaska State A&M
All the Noles fans brought their ass to Gainesville expecting to win because we were in utter chaos. Still better than you on our worst day. Enjoy that quiet ride home back on I-75 ✌🏾
Let’s not tear any of our players down. They’re still Gators and we rock with em every Saturday. I know for some of you, that’s gonna be hard, even though it shouldn’t be. 😒
Now that the smoke has cleared, Congrats to
@coach_bnapier
and his ENTIRE staff for pulling in one hell of a class. I know how hard those folks down there busted their ass. Proud of them.
Pay attention to 70 and 75 after the pick to try to make the tackle. I get being outplayed, but when you show no effing heart , forget about being in the game. You shouldn’t even be on the team.
To all my followers that have lost followers due to the following:
- showed compassion for those dealing with the George Floyd killing
- showed support for ending racism and peaceful protesting
- expressed being a victim of racism
Like or retweet this.. I’ll follow you.
Coach Nape doing exactly what he said he was gonna do. Recruit like hell in our own backyard. Feels good to flip a monster LB that was only 20 miles up the road. This kind of recruiting will pay dividends for years to come by creating good relationships
In no shape or form will I EVER root for the Georgia Bulldog. I’d rather throw my body into a bed of hot coals, lined with shards of glass and nails, while the University of Tennessee’s band plays a 46 hour rendition of Rock Top.
Before anyone starts shredding Miami or their fans, give them credit for playing their ass off. This was a great game. However, shot out to my Gators for overcoming everything thing that happened tonight.. including the questionable officiating. Proud of you gentlemen!!!
Y’all make sure y’all show
@katieturner0087
and
@briazjawade
some love. There is a crazy amount of work that they do that goes throughout the year that goes into celebrating days like today
Sigh. I’m cutting the game back on. I lived through the Zook and McElwain years. I’ll live through this. Still gonna support the PLAYERS who continue to play hard.
Damn right man. I didn’t play for
@CoachDanMullen
yet he treats me like I’m family. That means a lot. All recruits should take note: it’s more than JUST football with this team and staff. Legit good people.
Special thanks to
@ScottStricklin
and
@CoachDanMullen
for allowing former players and their families to come back and be part of something great on Saturdays. It means the world to us🐊
#GoGators
Chris Doering hit a home run here. Listen to the details. Deal cancelled on the 7th and NSD is the 21st. Stop blaming the Gator Collective. When/if the real truth comes out, all will realize who the real 🐍 in the grass are.
People should stop with this narrative. Tebow/Leak worked because Leak had a better arm, and Tebow was better on the run and as a scrambler. In this specific case, DJ is better at both, not taking anything away from Mertz. Play the best player. Nothing more, nothing less.
Possible controversial claim: I believe that Graham Mertz and Lagway splitting time is ideal for now. Study how Leak and Tebow split time and apply it. Mertz has the game knowledge and great short/medium accuracy. Let Lagway have some designed runs/Deep shots. Thoughts?
🧢.. I’ve seen enough practice alone where coaches were telling him to attack the run. And if a coach told me to drop into a zone as a defender, and I didn’t know what tf to do afterward, maybe my ass shouldn’t be playing football.
Another Florida transfer drops the HAMMER on the Gators 😳🐊
Princely Umanmielen who was the
#2
overall DE in the transfer portal was asked about what part of his skill set he wants to improve & how the new staff was helping him.
He went on to say “Here (at Ole Miss) i feel
Utah fans are a very classy bunch. Every one that I encountered on Saturday was very cool, before and after the game and the loudest away section I’ve heard as a player or fan. A really good team that should win the PAC 12 and I’ll be cheering for them.
Had Florida fans telling me last night that Cam Risings a baller. And Utah fans saying AR15s a beast. We got to see two starkly different playstyles play last night and it was incredible.
Good luck to Utah, lol. There’s no amount of humidity or sound you can pump into your indoor facility that can prepare you for a sold out night game in the Swamp.
Last thing cause it needs to be said: we can’t blame coaches for everything. Sometimes, the players have to be the ones to step up, and be held accountable for not doing their job. It’s a two way street.
Apologies for not being as positive tonight. Really frustrated that after putting together a great team effort last week, we come out and piss down our leg offensively
Got to stop by practice today:
- Ventrell Miller lost some weight and looks really smooth
- Offensive line looks damn good with the zone blocking scheme
- Saw Dex vs O’Cyrus in 1v1 pass pro. Insanely good matchup. Each won a rep. Both should have a brick by the end of the yr
God’s honest truth. A few months before he came in, we were a hot mess. Not afraid to admit that now seeing the progress in just one full year. There’s a level of accountability that I haven’t personally seen since Spurrier and Urban were here. Don’t be a fan later, ijs.
Billy Napier tells
@JesseReSimonton
that Florida is “lightyears ahead” of where it was last offseason👀
“I think every person in our building would say that.”
1-on-1 interview:
A huge part is that Mullen QUIT halfway through the season last year. Didn’t give a damn about recruiting or maintaining balance in that locker room. Staff wise, I can probably count on one hand how many people gave a damn. Gators won’t be fixed overnight. 100% won’t happen.
Georgia was the much better team. I hope one day we can get back to being competitive in this game soon. That’s all I can really say. Still love being a Gator.
PSA: we won’t get every recruit, no matter how much info “insiders” leak to you. And we won’t know the story why those chose somewhere else other than the school you cheer for. Who cares. Wish them well and move forward. Don’t let it ruin your life.
Gotta say, I’ve been apart of 6 straight Gator grill out /
#grillintheville
events and this one was probably the best. Kudos to the
@GatorsFB
staff… they are always stepping their game up. 💯
