Napier had to go. He was a terrible head coach. His play calling was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. His in-game management was some of the worst I’ve ever seen. But his firing impacts a lot of people not nearly as well compensated. And that always sucks.
Incredible TV and absolutely hats off to the sign maker and sign twirler @msnbc.com @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social @stephruhle.bsky.social
Best sign in London today, lady holding it is a legend
Incredible turnout in London for #NoKings protest at the US Embassy. Bummed I couldn’t be in the States today but thrilled to show up and fight along so many patriots so far from home.

She gets all the flowers. I mean ALL of them. If we see her, we immediately have to give her flowers.
My guy Ceedy Duce is running out of teams. NO-PHI-DET-PHI-HOU-now what?? All in the span of four seasons. Love the #Gators star’s game but he’s gotta change his abrasiveness or he’s gonna be out of the league for good.

I feel this. Wife and I are flying to Dublin tomorrow on different flights through different connecting cities. Gonna be a white knuckle day.

VANDY AND FLORIDA SWITCHED BODIES ... never in my worst dreams could I have imagined a sentence like this being true and hurting so much
* There's no title favorite
* There's no Heisman favorite
* Clemson is toast (more or less)
* Vandy and Florida switched bodies
* Texas Tech is the Big 12 favorite
* Go! Tigers! Go!

I looked at what's actually changed 4 weeks in (and also SP+ movers and amazing games): www.espn.com/college-foot...
What's changed since preseason for Texas, Clemson and the national title picture
Four weeks in, there's no real favorite to win it all or take home the Heisman. Here's what we think we know.

Pearsall and Pineiro both made that win possible. Also worth noting Florida hoops comeback against Texas Tech and advancement to the Final Four was in SF. Bay Area Gators on fire.
Former Florida #Gators kicker Eddy Pineiro boots a game-winning 35-yard FG, going 3/3 on the day for the San Francisco #49ers.
This dude Tricky Ricky is wild.
Mac Jones goes long on 4th and 2 and Ricky Pearsall makes a great catch
Man this thread is chilling. Every single thing on the fascism checklist is happening to us. And accelerating.
“Fascism” isn’t a slur for politics we don’t like. It’s a precise word with precise meaning. And in the face of what’s happening right now in America, it’s the most honest one we have.

I’ll lay it out as plainly as I can. 🧵

This will be the most wide open and insane coaching search I've seen for Florida Football. There are so few realistic hires that will excite. Every $$ the boosters can muster has to be thrown at Lanning but it'll be a no... after that, Marcus Freeman... another no.. Lane? Drinkwitz? Fisch? My oh my.
Unfortunately it’s pretty straightforward. He’s the worst Gators head coach in our lifetimes. And it isn’t close.
Florida’s offense this year would have been better without any playbook at all. Just have one of the 11 draw up a random play every time. They might be undefeated too because of how great their defense is.
If we had a functioning university, Napier should be the first coach to be fired at halftime.

Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."
The Trump-Miller administration's single-minded focus on migration is starting to impact the availability of drugs in the US, according to this detail from a very good investigation @wsj.com published today.

Going back to Urban's final, depressing season, this will be the 9th season in the past 16 years that Florida Football has been sad and mostly unwatchable. Go Gators.
I am slowly coming to grips with how much of my life I’ve wasted watching Will Muschamp, Jim McElwain, and Billy Napier’s idea of football. Go Gators.

Apologies to Brett Nelson
Thankful the Gators have two offensive line coaches. Can you imagine how BAD this line would be if we only had one?
