“Our FAU game felt louder than what we played in on Saturday Night”

The Swamp is just different 🤷‍♂️

Last December, Jadan Baugh's dad could not put his phone down.

"It rang from eight in the morning to nine at night. Every day."

Florida had just fired its head coach. Baugh was coming off a 1,170 yard season and second team All-SEC. Every program that needed a running back wanted him in the transfer portal.

The offers, his dad said, were "substantial." The top of the running back market that cycle hit seven figures.

Texas was the biggest threat.

Florida's new head coach, Jon Sumrall, had just been hired. And days before Christmas, his own father died.

On Christmas Eve, Sumrall showed up at Baugh's grandmother's house anyway.

He brought his family. He brought his offensive coordinator, Buster Faulkner, the man who had recruited Baugh out of high school.

Baugh's dad put out Chick-fil-A chicken minis, donuts and fruit.

Faulkner walked through the offense. Then Baugh's dad made his own pitch.

"You can go to Texas and have a great year, but it'd be just a great year. If you stay at Florida and have another great year, you'll go down as one of the best running backs to ever come through the place."

But what got Baugh was simpler than that.

"I knew it was going to be home when Coach Sumrall came to my grandmother's house on Christmas."

"For him, coming around at that time, even though his dad had just passed. That was the main thing. He showed he cared."

He stayed.

Now look.

Through three games: 54 carries. 458 yards. 8 touchdowns.

He leads the country with 30 missed tackles forced.

Saturday at Auburn, he ran for 162 yards and three touchdowns, including a 53 yard run on fourth and 1 in the fourth quarter. Florida won 44-39. Sumrall's first SEC win. Florida's first 3-0 start since 2019.

This is the kid from Decatur, Georgia who scored five touchdowns in his first college start, a school record. Who ran for 266 yards against Florida State last year, second most in school history behind only Emmitt Smith.

Saturday, No. 4 Ole Miss comes to the Swamp.

The running back who almost left will be in the backfield.

All because his coach showed up at Grandma's on Christmas Eve.

[Matt @TenneyUF]

What about the ones before that?

[Auburn Memes @AuburnMemes]

It’s important to realize, as a basketball school….

We must remind Florida fans what happened the last time we played in a sport that mattered

[Matt @TenneyUF]

Narrator: Jaden* Baugh was very much on his shit this weekend.

[Tiger Viewpoint @Tiger_Viewpoint]

Jordan Baugh(sack) (lol) AINT GON BE ON SHIT THIS WEEKEND

[Matt @TenneyUF]

Well, that.

[Russian Aubie @WarDamnDeuce]

Urban Meyer couldn’t beat Auburn in Jordan-Hare. What the hell makes you think Jon Sumrall can?

[Matt @TenneyUF]

Yikes!

[WILSON @W1LSON_101]

These Fla fans see Auburns pass defense ranked #116 have no idea how DJ Durkins defense works. Teams are always gonna hit short throws and gain yards between the 20’s. But your run will get shut down and nothing gets over the top. You will not score points. Gonna be fun to watch

[Matt @TenneyUF]

We didn’t.

We scored 44.

[Shanks @Shanks205_]

If you think Florida is scoring 37 on Auburn in JHS I’m forced to assume you smoke your breakfast off of aluminum foil.

[Matt @TenneyUF]

162 yards & 3 TDs, eh?

[Guru 🦅 🐅 @Trap_Balboa]

Jaden Baugh gone get hit in his mouth come Saturday 😂😂 this ain’t FAU or 🐪

[Matt @TenneyUF]

Whoops!

[Auburn Memes @AuburnMemes]

Anyone who thinks UF would drop 37 on Auburn is smoking crack

History lesson:

In the last 3 seasons only TWO teams have scored that many points or more on Auburn in regulation

Florida will not be joining those ranks Saturday

[Sam @sempls_]

If Auburn gives up 37 to “Aaron Philo” I will waterboard myself

[Matt @TenneyUF]

🤔

[The Juice @thejuiceisgood]

Sure, Florida may very well beat us but the matter of fact glaze their offense is getting for who they played is hilarious.

[Matt @TenneyUF]

The actual f***?? You aren’t “a little bit” pregnant. Holy hell, people.

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Pregnancy tests draw a misleading, somewhat arbitrary, binary between a state of being pregnant and not being pregnant. You can be kind of pregnant, a little bit pregnant, or almost pregnant, or maybe pregnant, and still test positive for pregnancy. Pregnancy tests, particularly at-home urine tests, capture a moment in time at which an embryo has implanted and is interfacing with the uterus in some way. “We define how we understand the beginning of pregnancy based on this snapshot, but such a freeze-frame contains limited information,” Apoorva Tadepalli writes.

Just so I understand: The NCAA can retroactively vacate wins and losses that happened 5 years ago because a guy took a cheeseburger or made money off his image before NIL, but can’t vacate a very clear instance where the wrong team won a game after being gifted a free play!?

[Matt @TenneyUF]

@GatorRyan I went there for the 2011 game, and literally got nothing but “welcome to Auburn!” from so many of them. It was legitimately surprising how nice they were.

[US Open Tennis @usopen]

Ben, a truly remarkable Grand Slam run. 👏💙

[AG @AGHamilton29]

The point of a Jury finding isn’t to make a social statement or make a social change, but to determine whether the facts support a particular verdict in a case.

It’s very concerning that some of these jurors apparently viewed their job as something else.

[SEC Network @SECNetwork]

they really did that 😂 @GatorsFB

[Rory Cooper @rorycooper]

Still hits the same

[Military History Now @MilHistNow]

Today in 2001, 'Band of Brothers' premieres on HBO. Produced by Steven Spielberg & Tom Hanks and based on Stephen E. Ambrose's book, the 10-part series follows the men of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment from airborne training thru to VE Day. As good as TV gets.
