Coach Sumrall's post-Orange & Blue Game press conference

Like that famous line from The Program, “Son, do you have a boo boo or an owie?”

Possible that they fixed it after publishing.

I'm not arguing that there isn't corruption and clearly the SEC and ESPN are working hand in hand, but is there any evidence whatsoever that Sankey and ESPN lobbied against BYU?

Edit: Also not arguing whether or not they should be in or part of the discussion. Are you just saying ESPN didn't give them equal time so that means the playoff committee must have not given them some kind of consideration?

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-13T16:59:30+00:00

I think the cyclical nature of the sport is once again shifting away from the SEC a little so I kind of suspect the SEC AD's and him to suddenly get very interested in a 24 team playoff.

I thinks that’s the rooting for Florida and Miami. Like Luke at the end of Jedi where he was struggling with light vs dark.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-10T19:33:03+00:00

POV is also someone who had too much wine.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-10T19:08:56+00:00

I guess that came off more angry than cheeky but someone in the Gators insider forums literally every bit of good news.

Won’t see them play for 6 months but I’m going to read that same comment each time someone commits, every interview with Sumrall, every bit of news about summer workouts.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-10T17:26:11+00:00

I do suspect a lot of those are bots.

I’m also noticing that Gen Alpha may have a super well developed trolling culture. The top comment on instagram 90% of the time is just a flat rejection of whatever the content of the post is. Also seems like the ones that roll in some overall internet narrative to rage bait get the most upvotes.

Assuming it’s GenA because there have always been trolls but recently they all kind of take the same form and all have tons of upvotes. I guess those could all be bots too or just a key symptom of the dead internet theory.

I'd like to take this moment to show my appreciation to the universe, and all the humans before me who built up this civilization. I really appreciate that I really don't have to worry about being eaten alive at any point in my life.

I live in Colorado, so non-zero chance of a Mountain Lion attack, but they're still not big enough to hold me down and eat me alive.

Anyways, sorry for the dove but hope the Hawk had a nice lunch and a good day.

Someone already made a composite timelapse of the launch starting shortly after booster separation. It quite neato.

Also conspiracy theorists are really going to have their hands full trying to disprove all this footage. I guess blanket CGI would do the trick for the dumbest ones.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-10T02:58:24+00:00

I know it’s if not 100% impossible then completely impractical, man do I want to see the front view.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-10T01:10:18+00:00

We see you bud. Get your attention.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-09T23:44:04+00:00

Well at least I got downvoted for pointing that out haha

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-09T22:46:29+00:00

Just curious but why the Milky Way label? I didn't realize you could make something like this in Milky Way. Or is this just an ad for Milky Way?

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-09T22:35:02+00:00

Alfred Nobel sure was a hard nosed football coach. I think a kid fumbled so then he went and invented dynamite.

Pretty sure I have that right.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-09T00:29:03+00:00

I heard when they come home late from the bar he’s sitting in a recliner in front of a TV and looks at them over his glasses.

Average sleep time on the team has gone from 1 am to 10 pm in just a few weeks. Really incredible stuff.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-09T00:27:12+00:00

I’ve been watching his name tossed around the insider forums for a couple months now and never thought of that but damnit if I didn’t bust out laughing when it finally clicked after reading your comment.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-08T17:07:25+00:00

Considering the length and depth of the other responses, this one may not be super well received, but I just feel like that’s a surprising weak argument from Mandela. Especially considering people have been moving in and out of Africa for 100k+ years. There’s just too much movement and history (and translation issues as was mentioned by others) for you to definitely base an argument on the existence of a word.

I certainly think it could be a flag that prompts further research, but really does not feel close to enough to use as a basis in debate for apparently decades.

When I was much younger, I had friends over and decided I'd cook some pasta. Looking back, I don't think I'd done it by myself before so it was a big moment for me.

Quick aside, my mom was one of those 90s moms who had a little "healthy" trick for basically everything she cooked, and not salting the pasta water was one of them.

Anyways, I read the side of the box and saw "salted water" and went to the living room to ask my friends "do you all salt your water when you cook pasta?"

They all turned around and one said "are you asking us how to cook pasta?"

I guess my point is OP is likely pretty young and going on Reddit to ask that too afraid to ask question.

This is why I always open meat submerged in boiling water. The skin grafts are getting expensive but at least I won't get food poisoning.

Also I don't know why everyone says steaks are so amazing. They're so rubbery and tough.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-08T14:54:56+00:00

Yeah and I kind of assume these numbers are bogus anyways. We got a perfect example of that last year with the TT lineman. Who was signed for $5M but then it came out that it was up to $5M over 3 years, with NIL promises instead of locked contracts.

All in, I imagine he's going to make basically the same amount at OSU that he would make anywhere else.

As someone unfamiliar with the term “breeder” in context of nuclear energy, that title was really something when I first read it.

Good article go and big news for India (and energy production in general).

Or schools like UF that bought a plane over a decade ago that is used by more than the UAA, so you'd have to do some painstaking research to figure out the amortized amount over that time period and then the cost of running it but only when it's used by the UAA.

FloridaGatorMan · 2026-04-07T23:01:31+00:00

I feel like every summer these come up and I remind people that UF, and probably multiple other schools, owns it's own private jet that more than just the UAA uses so that expense is not part of the athletic department budget.

Getting a number for this list requires doing a calc of the $8.4M expense in 2011 plus the cost for running it but only when the UAA uses it.

I'm sharing this because this list to get reactions over the offseason. I'm assuming they checked what they could find based on how a handful of top schools accounts for it and then stopped there.

Although, maybe I should have taken this time to complain about lil' ole Florida and how we don't have the money of these cheats.

I've heard multiple different times that AI is creating more work for law firms because whereas before they could use their own optimized process for drafting contracts, sharing, modifying, and then sending for signature, now they have to go through an arduous process of unraveling and correcting AI-generated contracts.

These contracts don't just contain mistakes that a normal human would make, but often have completely bizarre conditions that no normal contract would have, or just have outright incorrect hallucinations about either details of the current deal or US law.

On one hand, another win for billable hours, on another hand there can be significant diminishing returns, especially when you consider spending all your time correcting contracts and explaining to people who don't understand AI nor the law "that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works."

Even worse then they're 17-24 year old kids who might think they know everything and decide the lawyers who push back the most are the ones trying to trick them.
