Listen Now! Lots to discuss: Winning Bucs, Gators football, Saban/Belichick, Pat McAfee
With everything going on in sports over the past few weeks, it’s left more questions than anyone can answer.
Quite often, many of these headlines have a tie in some way to Florida.
Sometimes, they’re just topics that need to be discussed even when they don’t.
Some questions include:
Can the Buccaneers continue their improbable run after defeating the Eagles in the first round of the playoffs when they play the Lions on Sunday?
How valuable has Baker Mayfield made himself?
What is Bucs coach Todd Bowles' status?
Who was better at what they did: Nick Saban as a college football coach, or Bill Belichick as an NFL coach?
Will Alabama become a pedestrian team in the expanded SEC starting in 2024?
Can the Florida Gators football team step up its status in that same expanded SEC?
With the Gators playing UCF, Miami and Florida State in 2024, can they beat any of the other Power 5 Florida teams?
Will Billy Napier survive the entire 2024 season?
