The Front Nine comes at you with another Saturday devoid of Gator basketball. Thank goodness we are about to have multiple choices of sports to pay attention to.
1.We’ll get to the drought of Florida basketball games, but since we have officially entered “Talking Season” with football finished for another season, let’s go right to some of the things I’ve been thinking about concerning the 2021 Gator football season. NFL coaches often do this or at least they use to when I was covering the league. But they would mentally divide the season into fourths with four segments of four games each. Last year, that was difficult for us to even think about with games being postponed and rescheduled and we don’t know for sure that it will be any easier this season. However, we can hope. So, we have divided this upcoming Florida season into fourths, one for each month. Remember also that this is a year where the Gators only have half of their games in the Swamp, which may not have been a big deal in 2020 but should be significant this year.
