Seven predictions for Florida’s 2023 Orange and Blue Debut

Doug Engle / USA TODAY NETWORK This should be fun — little more, nothing less. With another spring practice cycle successfully put behind us without mention — I’m sure I missed some of the best action that’s ever happened during the series of practices that the players care even less about than the fall camp that they cannot wait to have end because of the sweltering Gainesville heat and humidity — it is, of course, time for a spring game exhibition that will serve as much of the basis fo...

Anthony Richardson leads the way — again — at Florida’s Pro Day

Doug Engle / USA TODAY NETWORK One last performance in Gainesville for the hometown star... Last week, representatives from all 32 NFL teams were in Gainesville for Florida Pro Day. They pilled into the Heavener Football Training Center and the Condron Family Indoor Practice Facility to get an up close look at 11 former Gators football players — and one track star looking to get back on the gridiron. Draft season is a long and winding process for prospects hoping to impress scouts, coac...

A Southern heirloom: Football and the Gators, from my grandfather to me

The best things in life are passed down. Football is the greatest sport. It’s the ultimate team game, and truly takes everyone working in unison to achieve success. And in my opinion, the greatest version of football is played at the college level. The quality of play in the NFL is obviously superior and the pro game is built to achieve a level of parity that is lacking in college football. However, the college game combines a high-level of play with a lot more variation of scheme than is se...

How the Scouting Combine set up Florida Gators for the 2023 NFL Draft

Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images Anthony Richardson stole the show. But the Florida contingent in general excelled at the NFL Scouting Combine. I remember buying a suit from Express in the Oaks Mall. It was nice enough, a traditional black two-piece that could pair with a classic white collar and colorful tie. It didn’t break the bank for a soon-to-be college grad who still delivered pizzas to pay the bills, but I couldn’t afford to have it tailored. Putting it on ahead of attending a j...

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports ESPN is projecting another bleak year in Bear Territory... Three CGB posts in three days? Is CGB back??

All-time great Cal Football RB Coach Ron Gould is headed to San Diego State

Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports Will we ever see Ron Gould return home? Better (one week) late than never, right? When the unthinkable happened—and the despicable Stanfurd Cardinal sentenced once–proud Golden Bear Troy Taylor to its role as Alistair H. Smarmsnobbery Director of Football-Related Operations and Activities—I immediately feared the prospect of a union between Taylor and then–running backs coach Ron Gould. Gould is one of the greats in the history of California Golden Bears Foo...

California misses back-to-back Super Bowls for the first time in over 50 years

Joe Kapp was among three Bears to first represent California in the Super Bowl | Tony Tomsic-USA TODAY Sports A less-than-ideal accomplishment for the Bears in the Pros coincides with our struggles at Memorial Stadium. Despite the struggles of the California Golden Bears to be ranked or relevant in college football, we’ve had a puzzlingly rich history of success in the NFL. For instance, for the 21 NFL seasons from 1999–2019, 14 of those Super Bowl s featured a Golden Bear on the winning ...

One last goodbye to For Whom the Cowbell Tolls

Well, it’s time to say goodbye, folks. The road goes on forever, but it looks like this party might be coming to an end. Well, this is it. This is officially it.

Paycor Stadium Ended the Battle for the Bell

Stephanie Scarbrough/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK There is no more rivalry between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Miami Redhawks. Just take a look at the student sections from last Saturday’s game if there is any doubt. Maybe back in the 90’s or early 2000’s when Miami fielded competitive teams and Cincinnati was just starting to navigate their football program, this rivalry meant something to the fans of both schools, but this game is about as important to both fanbases as K eeping ...
