There is validity to the argument that it was contradictory and counterproductive to fight a war to prevent Poland from being conquered to then turn around and give Poland to the Soviet Union

Day lost his father to suicide so think there is a chance this is real at least.



Because Day had a totally unrelated tragic event in his life, it makes it more believable that he personally drafted this letter?

What is the connection between these two things?
At what point in 2019 should LSU have been anointed?

For what it's worth, I'm not saying Florida compares to them, just that a surprise team getting attention is warranted in some cases.

I think the most egregious is the auto first down when it’s defensive holding. It can be 3rd and 25 and a holding call will extend the drive. Just make it 5 yards and repeat the down. If it happens two plays in a row, maybe then an auto first down.


The reason is because defenders would be much better off holding if it were 3rd and 25 and their penalty didn't cause a 1st down. It would be used as an exploit.
I think in general, you can have:

- Established starting QB
- Experienced Veteran backup
- Young, talented freshman/sophomore

Not a perfect setup, but passable
Football is a matchup based game.

Florida's strength is an elite offensive rushing attack, which Missouri has had moderate success against defensively (held a good MSU offense to 3.5 yards).

Florida's weakness is the quick passing game, especially against quality WRs, where Missouri has had a lot of offensive success.

Game is in Columbia, where Missouri is looking to refocus after a tough road loss at the same time that a Gator team is getting the first taste of success they have had in a long time.

Not taking anything away from Baugh who is fantastic, but if your OL is doing what they did to Ole Miss all year, then any back would have success.


Baugh is leading the country in broken tackles by an order of magnitude
Florida was 7-5 in 2014 before Jim McElwain took over

They’ll lose 2 or 3 of their next 4 games.

@ Missouri
South Carolina
@ Texas
Georgia



Really going out on a limb here. They could lose to Texas and Georgia and still be a comfortably top 10 team

will say. Sun belt billy never got to start seasons off with fricking FAU and Campbell either.

Sumrall is winning with Billy’s players also but no one wants to mention that.


Florida has already scored 68% of its entire 2025 SEC point total after only two conference games.

quote:

Those bigger worries than MIZ and UK. UK has a very solid upset win but Florida has too much talent and is playing very good ball.



We expect to lose to Texas and Georgia at this point. Beating Missouri and Kentucky puts our floor at 9-3 with good odds to make the playoffs.

Ireland and Spain remained neutral in WW II. They wouldn't even take sides against the Nazi's.


Spain fought a civil war against Communists that were aided by the USSR while being aided by Italy and Germany and ignored by the US, Britain, France, and other allied powers.

There's some nuance to this that would explain why they didn't take the Communists side in 1938.

Now this Greenland deal… he basically gets us Greenland for free…



Reading the tweet, I'm unsure how this "gets us Greenland for free."

We seem to have access to utilize our military from Greenland. There are some benefits that go with that, without doubt, but it's not the same as getting the entire country without payment.

but their defense looks really good


Haven't heard that all season.

I think they're averaging like seven sacks a game,


I believe we had 2 sacks total coming into our game against Auburn.
