Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 969 ratings
  • Lots of content but just ok

    In favor of the show, the host puts out a ton of content. Multiple episodes per week. I particularly like the episodes with Will Miles since the host is quite the homer while Will is often the opposite so it balances out. Enjoy some of the other recurring guests as well. The negatives to me - much of the discussions are fluff - going over stats or quotes that I can read anywhere at any time just isn’t necessary. Don’t need to take one sentence from a press conference and analyze it for 30 m... more

  • Somebody Help Dave

    Dave is one of the best in the business. This guy makes so many sacrifices for such a dead program, which he has to pump out content for almost daily. While he bleeds orange and blue, his heart is suffering from the constant stupidity of the Florida Athletic Administration, including Scott Stricklin. Great show, but a train wreck of a football program. I guess that does provide entertainment to somebody…

  • Great show

    Good episodes with lots of information. Great guests that also bring good insights, facts, and stats. Will do pop up shows when news breaks because as Dave says “there’s never a dull moment in Gator Nation”

  • Great show and great people

    Dave and Will are class acts and know their stuff. I actually used to be a co-host on the show, and I can tell you they never once compromised on communicating what they believe to be the truth about what’s happening with Gator football. They should be on the short-list of trusted info sources for all Gator fans.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Gators Q&A: Ground and Pound or Sling It? Can Florida's Defense Carry Them Past Auburn?
Q: Will Auburn's defense be able to slow down Florida's passing attack?
Durkin may test Florida's intermediate and quick-pass game to loosen Auburn up, but the guests anticipate Auburn's defense to be tighter; the plan is to exploit windows and mix in QB-designed runs to keep the defense off balance.
Gators Q&A: Ground and Pound or Sling It? Can Florida's Defense Carry Them Past Auburn?
Q: What do you think the game plan will be for the offense this week? To run ball to death or air it out with Philo?
The hosts expect a balanced approach with a likely emphasis on not selling out to the run; Philo will need to prove himself on the road, with quick throws and screens helping him settle into the game while the run game remains a threat.
Florida vs Auburn: Inside the Chess Match Between Faulkner and Durkin | Brad White Defends Pressure
Q: What is the biggest challenge for Aaron Philo on the road against Auburn?
