Gators Trying To Punch Playoff Ticket; Seminoles Trying To Avoid Being Punch Line

October 15th, 2019
In episode 55 of The Todd Wright TODDcast, Todd offers a Year 2 mid-season comparison of the Dan Mullen era in Gainesville against the Willie Taggart era in Tallahassee. At least Todd actually mentions how FSU played Clemson last weekend, which ESPN College Gameday did not feel was worth their time in the popular “Saturday Selections” segment.

Last Call For The No. 1 Overall Pick

October 15th, 2019

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The Bucs had a tough decision to make in the spring of 2015. They had to choose between a dynamic gunslinger and a savvy game manager.

They went with Jameis Winston at the top of the draft ahead of Marcus Mariota and felt good about the pick. More than four years later, the Bucs and Titans are coming to grips with the very real possibility both quarterbacks are destined for the dustbin of NFL history. [read more]

A Word About The Jason Licht Confidence Poll

October 15th, 2019

General manager Jason Licht

Regulars here know Joe runs a weekly, 24-hour confidence poll that measures Bucs fans’ confidence in the head coach. Joe started it during the Lovie Smith administration.

Lots of fans send Joe nasty notes because they want the same poll for general manager Jason Licht. And those hate-filled messages have been escalating.

Yes, Joe publishes GM polls, but since the GM doesn’t call plays, Joe doesn’t poll fans every week on front office performance. That’s typically done before and after the draft, when roster cuts are made in September, and then during the bye week and following the regular season.

So yes, the Jason Licht Confidence Poll is coming next week as scheduled. So please stop barking your hate at Joe.
