👀 We're up to 42 bowls this season - 1 more than last year - w/addition of San Juan Bowl (Dec. 16) b/w ACC & Sun Belt. That's 84 teams needed to fill all the bowls, including 2 in Puerto Rico: San Juan Bowl & Puerto Rico Bowl (Dec. 22, MAC vs. G6)

I knew UF, UGA and most of the SEC had it, I had no clue JU had it. May have to go check them out. Does UNF have it too?
I am excited to announce I will be the voice of @ju_icehockey for the remainder of the 2026-2027 season beginning with the November 14th game against FSU!

Outside of Joshua Christian at Dixie County, there are no other games tonight in the Jax-Gainesville area. That's sad. Citizens Field sits quiet tonight.

I get that you want teams to play tough schedules not 10 cupcakes, however you should have to win some of those to make the playoffs. Have we forgot about Gadsden County going 0-10 and making the playoffs over a Andrew Jackson team that actually won games.
