Florida Gators Football Tickets - Overview

1/24/13: The UF football program may be taking a big hit this offseason, as several underclassmen have declared for the NFL draft and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn is leaving the program to take the same position with the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks position came open when defensive coordinator Gus Bradley accepted the head coaching position with the Jacksonville Jaguars. So basically it was a trade. The Gators defense was much better than expected, and led the team to the Sugar Bowl, where they were exposed by the Louisville Cardinals - ironically led by former UF DC Charlie Strong.

1/10/13: There were more than a few respected 'experts' who picked the FSU Seminoles to fall to the Northern Illinois Huskies in the Orange Bowl. That did not happen. But virtually no one expected the No. 22 Louisville Cardinals from the Big East to upset No. 4 Florida. That did just happen. UF seemed lethargic and uninterested in the game, and quickly fell behind. The Gators tried to throw in some trick plays, but the Louisville defense was strong enough to hold on to the lead. Gators coach Will Muschamp said after the game that the team was outplayed and out-coached.

12/27/12: Like rival FSU, the Gators have several talented juniors who may declare for the NFL draft early. Sharrif Floyd, among the top defensive tackles in college football, could be a first round draft pick, while safety Matt Elam is a first team All American and will certainly get the interest of a few pro teams. Meanwhile, the rest of the team is preparing to face the Louisville Cardinals in the Sugar Bowl on January 2, 2013. The Gators are heavy favorites, and no one want a repeat of the Florida-Cincinnati thrashing from a few years ago.

12/20/12: Florida may be making preparations to play Louisville in the Sugar Bowl on January 2nd, but that is not stopping Will Muschamp and company from building for the future. The Gators signed three junior college transfers, who will presumably be with the team next season. Offensive linemen Tyler Moore (a former starter at Nebraska) and Trenton Brown signed, as did defensive lineman Darious Cummings. The three are expected to enroll in classes in January and be available for service in the 2013 season. Getting big men in the trenches is vital in the SEC, and it looks like the Gators have found a few monsters.

12/13/12: The Florida Gators have stopped complaining about not having a shot at the BCS Championship and are directing their efforts at preparing for the Sugar Bowl. The number three ranked Gators will play the twenty-first ranked Louisville Cardinals on January 2 at the Superdome in New Orleans.The Gators are coming off of an unexpected 11-1 season with the only loss coming at the hands of the Georgia Bulldogs. UF is heavily favored in the match up, and many fear this could be the same type of Sugar Bowl as a few years ago when Florida routed Big East Champion Cincinnati.

12/6/12: Due to the inexplicable unfairness of the BCS standings, the Florida Gators are headed back to the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. The Gators finished second in the SEC East, behind Georgia. Georgia took Alabama to the final play in the SEC Championship Game, before falling 32-28. But Georgia's second loss counts in the computer rankings (even though Georgia beat Florida earlier in the year), so the Bulldogs got shut out of a BCS game and instead will go to the Capital One Bowl in Orlando. Florida will face Louisville on January 2 in the Sugar Bowl.

11/29/12: For all the good tidings beating archrival Florida State brings, UF fans are cringing that they will be left out of the National Championship. The Gators have one loss and have played one of the toughest schedules in the country. But that one loss was to Georgia, who sits one spot ahead of UF in the BCS rankings. Georgia and Alabama will play in the SEC Championship Game this Saturday, and the winner will likely face Notre Dame for the BCS Championship. If NCAA football had a playoff, then UF would likely qualify, but as it is, they may be forced into the Sugar or Capital One Bowls.

11/22/12: The computers love the Gators, primarily because of their strength of schedule and wins over South Carolina, Texas A&M, and LSU. UF has had two cupcake games in the past two weeks, and barely beat University of Louisiana-Lafayette at home. But now comes the big final exam, as the No. 4 Gators head to Tallahassee to face arch-rival No. 10 Florida State. A win could give them an outside shot at making the BCS Championship Game. A loss shows they are overrated, and probably earns a ticket to the Capital One Bowl. UF will have to figure out some offense if they are going to be in this game.

11/15/12: Maybe SEC teams are smarter than the rest of the NCAA. UF rival FSU was decimated in the press for starting the year against two 1-AA teams (even though one game was a last minute scheduling adjustment after West Virginia pulled out). But UF just hosted University of Louisiana-Lafayette and now hosts Jacksonville State. The Gators also hosted Bowling Green in their opener. Perhaps since it is mid/late season, no one cares, but the effect is still the same. In any case, this is merely a warm-up game before UF travels to Tallahassee to face FSU in the final regular season game of the year.

The Florida Gators play Division I college football for the University of Florida. The Gators play in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference. The 2011 season will be Will Muschamp's first as head coach of the Gators. Florida plays its home games at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, FL.
