They could be legends.

Billy Napier is staring down a second straight losing season if his Gators lose to FSU today, and he’s got to face the Noles without Graham Mertz.  Clearly, the times are desperate.  And you know what they say about desperate times.

Here’s Billy’s desperate measure:

Florida will turn to one of its greatest players for help before facing rival and fifth-ranked Florida State on Saturday.

The Gators, the National Football Foundation and the College Hall of Fame will jointly honor 2007 Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow in the Swamp at the end of the first quarter. Coach Billy Napier, meanwhile, has asked Tebow to speak to his struggling team in the locker room beforehand.

“I’m always open to always talking to the team,” Tebow said during a Zoom call Friday. “I just would always want them to know first that it’s never about me. Saturday isn’t about me. It’s about them.

“It’s an amazing opportunity, and it’s something that if they can harness three hours of excellence, they will have a chance to be one of the more remembered Gator teams because they get a chance to knock off an undefeated FSU team. That doesn’t happen all the time.”

As catchphrases go, “… a chance to be one of the more remembered Gator teams” lacks a little something, no?  It’s no GPOOE™, that’s for sure.

    His era is long over and wasn’t much to begin with. Guarantee he cry’s during his locker room rant.

    I’d be more inspired if they brought in the Corch who led them to two national championships.

    Nah.

    “The Speech Redeux.” Timmy Tears with the Nazi haircut (thank you, RR, for that) made a tearful speech to a bunch of sportswriters who claimed the the players, who were in the locker room and didn’t hear it, were inspired to win the rest of the games. Timmy Tears should have made that speech to his teammates rather than to Pat Dooley. Fifteen years later Napier will have him address the crowd and media instead of addressing the players in the locker room.
    This time, UF and The Nazi Haircut won’t have Percy Harvin and Brandon Sikes saying “fuck those tears let’s kick ass” to bail them out.

      Maybe they can bring back Chris “Time to die, bitch” Rainey. He perfectly captured what it meant to be among the top 1% of the top 1% for that sociopath Urban Liar.

    Napier really wanted Aaron Hernandez but he wasn’t available.
