§ One more week before game prep starts in earnest.
o Wants to see more consistency with the qbs
§ One source with eyes on the scrimmage said the qbs threw 3 ints
o Defense did not have a single three and out
§ Couple ways to look at this
· Running game must be keep drives alive
· O line must be holding their own
o This season success, imo, is predicated on 3rd down
§ Get off the field on 3rd down and extend plays
o Running backs continue to be a position group that is showing out, mullen mentioned nayquan wright as someone running hard
§ Malik davis is looking like the davis of old, his freshman year he was a threat to break on everytime he touched the ball.

§ Will be interesting to see if he provides more than a gadget guy.

o Nearly every shot hit the net during that game
o Lightning were 3/6 on power plays during that game
§ We talked about it coming out of the jackets series and they have really turned it on and its now a strength in their game
o Like most teams when their stars are shining its hard to beat them
§ If Hedman, Pointe and Kuch are playing at a high level, who can beat the bolts?
o Kuch to pointe to kuch was great.
o The defense is being active in the offensive zone and that is huge to the success of the bolts.
o Islanders will make adjustments and the lightning must do it too.
§ What got you 8 goals wont work tonight
§ Lets see if Coop can counter what ever trotz comes out with
o In sports there is always a saying “have a short memory” this could be a pitcher, a quarter back, in this case both teams need a short memory
Rays, 6-4 last ten, need to finish strong last 20 games. Up 3.5 on the Blue Jays.

Brew and Orange Recruiting Pt 2
Disclaimer: About 15 minutes of this podcast was cut out by what I can only assume was a connectivity issue. Good thing is YouTube Live Stream Brew and Orange managed to not cut off. So pick up where you left off by going to the Brew and Orange Twitter or Instagram find the Live Stream and finish the rest, you wont regret it.
What we covered:
- Leonard Taylor picks Miami
- Who is left on the board at that position
- SI article regarding Florida Commit Chief Boarders flirting with Stanford
- Coaches Poll was released today, UF #8 behind Clemson, Ohio State, Alabama, UGA, LSU , OSU, and Penn State.
- Saturday Down South posted records of SEC Teams in conference records since 2010, UF #4 behind Alabama, LSU and UGA
- Divaad Wilson transfers to UCF
- Gov Desantis wants FSU and Florida to keep the rivalry going
- On Bussin with the Boys on barstool, Aj Brown made comments about recruiting efforts made my Miss St while Mullen, and current gator coaches put in during his recruitment that ultimately lead to him going to Ole Miss.
- Discussed Cj Hendersons twitter reply to possible Miami commit and Leonard Taylor Palmetto High teammate Jason Marshall who said "its time for me to shake up the room"
Recruit to watch: Jayden Blue out of Texas, Class of 22. Brewster seems to be heading up this recruitment. Quoted saying that LSU was his dream school. Something to look out for.
Brew and Orange Recruiting Pt 1
First we popped open a CryoTropic Hazy IPA By Tampa Bay Brewing Company. Highly recommended, if you are in Tampa hit up the Ybor or Westchase locations. I gave it a 4 on untapped, 10/10 would drink again. Tomorrow I will be trying Space Donkey a hazy pale ale.
We also looked at the possibility of going 1 for 3 on the palmetto high teammates. Collier, Marshall and Taylor. Taylor commits tomorrow and Collier on the 10th. Myself along with everyone else believes Taylor is headed to Miami, while Marshall is between Miami and Bama, Collier seems to be leaning Florida. This was on the case a few months ago. Florida was leading for all 3.
We talked about Alabama having 5 of the top 11 recruits in the state of Florida, while Florida has landed just 7 top 15 recruits from the state since 2018. We touched on Burke and Desmond Watson being underrated, while that may be the case it does not soften the blow of losing out to Miami on big time recruits like Taylor.
I also mentioned that Miami was 13-13 the last 2 years while Florida is 22-5. Florida needs to do a little more than win on the field.
We also touched briefly about the big spenders in college football recruiting, Georgia Bama and Tennessee holding down the top 3 and the current and previous rankings reflect that.
*My recruiting ranking stats and player rankings come from 247 sports*
