Gators first home game of 2012 season on ESPN

What a pleasant surprise to find that the first game of the 2012 Florida football game will be on ESPN this Saturday, at 3:30 pm.  Bowling Green will travel to the Swamp to face the Gators.   From what I have read, the coach has not decided who will be the quarterback, so both QB's will play Saturday.  Gator nation is ready for the football season to begin!

Just in case you missed it, a few weeks ago USA Today released its pre-season college football poll.

Interesting to note, 5 teams in the top 10 are SEC teams.  

1. LSU

2. Alabama

6. Georgia

9. South Carolina

10. Arkansas 

The Gators are not too happy to start out at no. 23, so time will tell what kind of team we have this year.

Florida is still Florida

Florida is still Florida.
That is the last sentence of the article at this link.    

News is that ESPN will broadcast the first Gator game of the season against Bowling Green.  Florida routinely plays a non-conference opponent for the first game of the season and it is rarely on TV.  This is a good article that gives the Gator Nation hope for the season ahead! The first three games of the season will be broadcast on ESPN - Florida will face Bowling Green,  Texas A&M, and Tennessee to start the season.
