What We Learned About Saturday’s Scrimmage

Not much but that’s not necessarily bad news

News was a little skimpy coming out of the Gator football scrimmage Saturday,  which is not necessarily a bad thing just a week before the spring game. If there was anything disastrous we would have heard about it.

Otherwise there were the usual dribs and drabs about the quarterback competition.

Next up will be how the squad is split and which injured players are back on the field for the Orange and Blue game.

We do know that dazzling WR Dallas Wilson is back to running and expected to be seen on the field and limited action. His return has been widely anticipated ever since his first career game, when Wilson logged six catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns against No. 9 Texas before being injured.

However, as Coach John Sumrall says “I already know what he can do.“

It will also be our first look at wide receiver transfer sensation, Eric Singletary and will get to see cornerback Dijon Johnson back in action.

There are not expected to be a ton of surprises, but we will see some wrinkles that we like, or maybe don’t like, and experience the overall operation of this new coach, and his coaching staff with new players, which has already creating a buzz around the SEC.

There’s a lot of curiosity, and not just by the Gator nation.

SHORT STUFF: Left Over Hoopla

—If accurately quoted this sounds promising and it makes you wonder what he knows that he hasn’t told us yet: Todd Golden projects Florida to be ranked in the top 15 at the start of next season, but a top 10 team if “some things swing our way.”

—Say what you will about the previous basketball coach, but he had an eyeball for coaching talent.

Dusty May was a assistant at Florida under Mike White from 2015 to 2018 then he takes a team to the national championship game in his 2nd year. Plus took FAU to the final 4 .

—Rueben Chinyelu is the first Naismith Defensive Player of the Year award winner born outside the United States.

—Coach Todd Golden praised his time on @coachbrucepearl's staff. "You can't fake caring about people."

Tough Gator Baseball Loss

Ole Miss scored five in the ninth to beat No. 14 Florida in Gainesville after having the Rebels in the ropes after the heretofore strong bullpen fell apart and won the series. Florida hasn't won back-to-back series Kennesaw State and Miami in late February.

Yeah, It Was Classless By Geno.

And This Is Insane:

In order for NFL fans to watch every football game next season you will need TEN different streaming subscriptions.

• Netflix

• Prime Video

• NFL Network

• Peacock/NBC

• FOX

• CBS

• ESPN+

• Paramount+

• YouTube TV

• NFL Sunday Ticket

Agree with this guy on TwitterX:

I will die on the hill that major sports championships belong on broadcast TV.

Put early round leftovers on whatever the hell truTV is. The Final Four belongs on CBS where the entire country can watch.

And Finally, From Scott on Twitter:

I miss the days where the Final Four was "play the first semifinal, let teams warm up for the second one and let's play ball."

This between games concert stuff now is stupid and pointless.

Me: Amen Scott
