Canes vs Gators preview: who NEEDS to win Saturday's game more between UM and UF?

we can begin with headlines here for the four o'clock hour and Alejandro Solana as we all prepare for tomorrow very very big game and I wasn't bsing with Lee I know how Monday's show could go yeah and Tuesday's show Monday will be an abbreviated show Tuesday we'll have a full four hours everybody will be off the holiday weekend I know how the show can go because I've done that show and I don't want to do that show I want I mean a gator beat down I want all the preseason hype to be justified I I I want it to go exactly as planned because it hasn't seemed to do that for a while I just want to Gator win late field goal 48 y win by won I just yeah I just want to Gator win but we talked about it with Le I brought up when you said it well Le said it's so much riding on both sides that's what made me think about it Florida is not supposed to be good I think the overall was four we have the hardest schedule like if the the Gainesville show with the loss is gonna be man I knew we made a mistake with Billy the kan's loss with Mario and cam War oh my goodness could you imagine like it'll be bad and by the way Billy nap is not going to get fired paed off one loss to the Miami Hurricanes his job is in danger this season unless it's a 75- six you know just drubbing the way Clemson remember drubbed um during the was it Al Golden's final game it was yeah um yeah I don't I don't think Billy Napier would lose his job over a loss to Miami tomorrow yeah and but I just think we play so many good teams it can't go bored like like they're saying G G the gator are going to win four four maybe five games he wins four or five games he's fired like you need to no I don't think he's GNA be your coach next season unless there's a spectacular performance by them throughout the season I just don't think he would be fired after week one and y'all said something too I was they were like Who's Who you gonna get we're gonna go get somebody H it's crazy to say it because Mario's not he hadn't killed it but a guy like Mario Chris Ball not Louisiana Tech head coach that had them rolling no go you're Florida if Napier gets fired go steal a good coach from another big team Dion he wouldn't go to Florida he hates Florida State doesn't like them anymore there's a there was a falling out that would be a good way to stick it to him all of a sudden he's in the SEC I mean come on oh and his dline coach is uh Warren Sap that's right you know what if if if Prime goes to Florida I might I might I might coming out my coaching Hiatus I'll go up there fool with prime I couldn't disagree with you guys more about who this game matters more for because you we could sit here and make all the arguments we want about how important this game is for Mario crystal ball and you're right but if the canes lose this game right close game UF comes out on top the objective this year for the canes isn't go undefeated it's get to the ACC Championship game like that's the most important part so the canes could lose this game everybody could be down on Mario but as long as they take care of business within the conference and get to the ACC Championship Game you're going to be thrilled with Mario my God you're doing the show that I don't want to do on Monday I mean this is the show though but that's the show the show we can we can still Salvage the season early in the season there's an expanded playoff format I don't want to do the show Monday I certainly don't want to do it before the game no no I don't want to do that show either and you're doing it to be honest it sounds like Crowder is a little shook if we're being 100% honest but but Crowder listen to what you just said the Gators are going to try to win four or five games this year well guess what it's not coming against Bama or Tennessee it's coming against teams like Miami so they Billy Napier needs this game more than Mario Christ ball needs this game disagree no I toally SLA you're ranked what is it 19 yeah you're ranked 19 you went out and spent a bunch of money doing the Nils you're trying to change the program around your your anticipation mosted quarterback in the portal you have the best quarterback to now come play in a offense that Mario christall ran Oregan was running up 60 70 point games on people this is all we needed to come over the top nobody's walking in and listen I'm a gator I'm not shook but I understand I'm rationalizing this there is nobody right now saying boy that Graham merch can spin it boy that Graham merch is going to win the Heisman no you have a Heisman candidate quarterback you have a head coach that you gave a 10year contract to that was at another big school being successful you're no and I I'll disagree with you you fans right now tell let me know H we just gotta win the ACC you want to go to the college football playoffs you want to compete with the top dogs Florida right now is not gonna say oh yeah man we going to the college football playoffs we'll see what happens there no we're trying to beat Tennessee that's how I'll justify it after they lose on Saturday is well we're just trying to win the ACC and it's very possible already because FSU lost and like I know what to do if and when the canes lose I just don't I I don't want to do that and I do think that it's more important for the Hurricanes because I think for a statement like Crowder says yes couple of hiccups since we hired Mario but we can compete with top programs on the road it's the same thing you say with you know Mike McDaniel and Tua hey nice when you put up 70 on Denver but let me see you do it I can't believe it till I see you do it they absolutely can win the ACC they don't have a very tough schedule but that's not where I want to be I want to be the team that beats youf and then you know runs a few off and is in the top 10 firmly for an FSU game and like yeah I don't I don't I don't want to be that team that you're describing and I get that by the way I understand why because of everything You' just mentioned this game matters so much for Miami but in the grand scheme of things the reality is that in this new college football format the idea that the canes no matter how great they got are going to run the table this year isn't very likely and if you told me if we took out the context of us being Miami Hurricanes fans if you told me hey this new kan's team first time they're going to go out there and play with all these new acquisition are going to go to an SEC school on the road a rival lose that game but then rebound through the ACC and beat the teams they have to beat and still get into the college football playoff that's a lot better than what awaits youf if they lose this game which is okay you beat Sanford because you got your cupcake week to guess what eight out of your 12 scheduled opponent are in the top 25 you play Georgia on the road Texas on the road LSU Old Miss and FSU five straight great games to end the season bro you guys aren't going to win three four games this year if you lose to Miami oh no no no salana and you're you're making my point first off if anybody on this four people you're the scaredest because you're already saying oh we're just got to win ACC this doesn't mean anything looking at Monday's script you're supposed to be on Friday's script Jimmy's asleep and Hawk is being rational about this thing listen you're you're 19th ranked wakey wakey Jimmy Vic mudz is calling in he must be enraged with me should I answer I answer yeah is he really calling yeah yeah he's calling on like the the guest line UF wins he called into the hotline UF wins they go to others receiving votes um loses they're falling to 30 somewhere because the anticipation of what you could do was nothing like what you should have done and what you did do nobody's going to look at UF you and win and say oh now UF top 10 if Miami loses UF they fall farther farther down the list than if um UF beats um they'll jump four five spots in the rankings is Victor on the on the phone did he really call in because he was outraged no no no he called in he uh he needs me to uh to do a little line testing I thought he was outraged at me which would have been funny should because he's been texting me he's been texting me throughout the show like he's listening Crow is driving him nuts it's ridiculous he says he says that the Gators hired a special teams coach you're making fun of our time clock coach says Napier never hired a special teams coordinator and mistakes cost Florida in multiple games against Utah in the season opener the gator got a penalty after two players wearing the same number went out onto the field during a punt resulting in a penalty got a first down and eventually scored on the drive later in the season against Arkansas the field goal unit was was coming out onto the field as the offense was trying to spike the ball at the end of regulation to set up a game-winning field goal the penalty forced a longer kick which Trey smack missed Florida ranked in the bottom four in the SEC and field goal percentage so listen you make fun of our uh clock manager all you want he worry about your own special teams there all right Daddy from me and Vic that's from me and Vic y'all need somebody to to watch the clock that's from I'm G tell you one thing after 18 it's gonna go 17 16 15 I can seminar in the same number run out onto the field how about uh how about you get one of those guys off the field okay all right how about that I I thought about this and you know last year's first game was Utah and we look terrible this is the first game of the season we the the Billy Napier's track record is not coming out with with with smoking guns either so that's a plus for um but just don't you know um is supposed to be a big dog be a big dog Sal you're terrified out of everybody here you're ter you talking about I'm terrified you're terrified I'm not terrified I think um's gonna go in and win that game tomorrow but I understand I understand the ACC and see what happens yeah well that's what matters I understand the narratives and the agenda and the the the feeling of week one against UF first time in in 15 years you've played in Gainesville you want to go and you want to send a message that you're back I get that but in the grand scheme of things Florida's lucky to win four or five games this season um has bigger things to worry about than one game against a bad Florida team they need to worry about whooping the ass of somebody who wins four games and not having to every every single week and I'm going specifically salana based off the past two seasons under Mario which have been less than Stellar like this is a game that you have to win if you don't win this game it's more of the same no what's more of the same is not beating Virginia Tech Geor but I don't want to go to the end of the season already I'm at the beginning of the season right no I and I get that and and we're looking at it through a microscope of this game is massive tomorrow but in the reality if you look at it not in the micro but in the macro like it's really not like dire for them to win this game you could lose two three games to non-conference opponents get to the conference Championship and still get a Buy in the first round of the college football playoff based on the way that the new format is set up in the in college football this year Sal just let me I'm gonna take this I think about it because you brought Victor Bermudez who loves boxing this is the night before championship fight and your thought process is yeah I can get my ass whooped tomorrow but I'll have some other guys to fight later on in the year that mean more no whoop this game this is a recruiting game there's kids you know how many five star kids are about to be in the swamp they're already there they flew in today they're already they're this a game like this could change recruiting for 25 26 27 make them leave early or make them switch to the the cane sideline you're saying you're acting like I'm saying it's okay if they lose tomorrow that's not my point here I was just rebutting what you guys said which was this game matters more to Miami than it does to UF and in my op does UF is expecting a terrible season Miami is expecting a great season like for me the expectations UF loses everyone's going to say ah we knew we were going to be bad this season it stinks there's going to be no ripple effect Miami loses there's going to be waves in the wave pool Kyle Pitt's gonna need the the life preserver t t you silly who did Florida use uh lose to in game one last last season uh Utah oh last year yeah the UT but Sal what to you to what I'm so glad you said that because that's the line I was trying to get to and you went to you to what they lost to who what the you salana take the names out of it hey man there's a 19th ranked team that has some of the most national champions in college football history they just signed a Heisman Trophy candidate they just brought in a coach and gave him a 10-year deal they're playing a team unranked that high a I'll use Vic they hired a special team coordinator from a smaller school they're trying to rebuild the program their quarterback's a seventh year senior who throws for four yards a pop who should whoop somebody's ass in that game hey Crowder you have an ACC team with a new roster a new quarterback and a new candidate going into but you can't do that you can't be little cam no you can't be little cam Ward for the past month and say that oh what did he do he play Washington State he played nobody and then now throw it back at me and say he's a Heisman candidate oh he better produce tomorrow like a Heisman candidate he better produce pick aide brother have I said have I said but that's Crowder's Point Crowder talking as a fan at one point but if you're saying which game is more important cam Ward's got all the pub going into this it's why the game is so important so if you know Florida's bad why the hell is Billy Napier still there like if this is a season well that's why I'm saying he's not going to get fired after one one game because they already know that he's not going to be there for the Long Haul like he's gonna get fired at some point it ain't gon to be after this game and this could be a swing game for him but am I am I saying you know it's funny because I lie I like yeah I got my bets in I my money and my fandom run differently I bet on the Nebraska game already I bet on the FAU game the other stuff that Lee Sterling talked about I put those bets in this UF I can't I can't even take my finger to push you in minus two and a half but I think before Saturday at 2 3:30 I might it's just it means so much more for the canes their favored they should win this game to what youut I love bag pipes I looked up bag pipes earlier in the show only it's one it's only song I I'm used to hearing is the oneoff Braveheart they all sound the same I think bag it's a whole they have a whole discography well I mean you could play any song on a bag pipe but they all sound the same because it's bag pipes it's like I heard the national anthem on bag pipes I heard all kind of stuff great instrument terrible instrument well agree to disagree these headlines are driven by the new palet of Ford truck Super Center Why by your truck at a car store pometo Ford we know trucks kan's are gonna whoop that ass tomorrow I'm not scared man he so scared I I I I mean I I don't know what you did here so long yeah man ACC is the goal it is it is the goal no there's one goal and it's to beat the Florida Gators at the swamp tomorrow 24 hours from now minus an hour and 40 minutes or so that's no that's wrong 40 just 40 minutes just 40 minutes 4 minut 50 minutes 50 minutes minus 50 minutes it is the 50 seventh meeting between these two teams you know who leads the alltime series Crowder um they were better earlier yeah yeah 29 to 27 that's right it was so close to being 2828 and that Brock Berlin oh it could have been 2828 CC this damn Kevin beard I hate Kevin beard Jimmy and I watched those highlights yesterday down 33 to 10 come back and win the game I mean the game was as good as over Crowder probably had his shoes off at half time you know what happened it was who we talked to that said they left the game they were in the car headed home I don't remember it was some I talked they were like yeah I I I got in the car he was like yo we're down by three touchdowns like I wanted to get there's no chance left with my dad this is a grown man too told me he's like I left with my dad I had to get the no blocky blocky person to move about four cars so I knew it was going to be a long night I left I got home to see Frank score the last touchdown to win the game and I was like and he's laughing and touching me I'm like don't touch me you know I was on the field it was over this isn't Nostalgia for me this is a headache like this is this is this is a terrible memory in my mind Crowder's like don't touch me there I still have a bruise from where Frank SC Ram me over hey man I tell you when I joke about uh Tony Gonzales Antonio Gates guys like bro if my biggest loss was Frank Gore running in the end zone I'm okay with it's Frank damn Gore again 3:30 kickoff you can listen to the game right here 560 wqam I got goosebumps I can't wait till this game starts is a fun way to start a season yeah
