All right, hey, we're so glad to have Zach goodall back on the show

Swamp 24-7, part of obviously the 24-7 Sports Network.

Same haircut that makes cousin Shane jealous.

Zach, how you been, buddy?

Mike, I've been great.

I'm so thrilled to be back, A, with you, and B, covering the Gators.

It's funny how things work out, spend a year away covering the NFL, and somehow I couldn't

even get out of Gainesville.

I was doing the drive up to Jacksonville.

So it was calling for me.

Yeah.

And when you left, you know, let's be honest, it was a lot of doom and gloom.

And I admit, I've said this many times, even though I thought all offseason last year,

I thought Florida was going to be much better.

And then the first

month happened, I said, oh, God, there's no way Billy Napier survives this. What is it like

now coming back to a program that is on the upswing? And what's the confidence level that they

could continue that into 2025? I go back and forth on it.

I mean, I look at what they accomplished at the end of last year.

And while I understand that when you put it in these terms, it's not meeting Florida fans' expectations.

But they pulled off Billy Napier's first three plus game win streak against FBS opponents in three years to end the year.

And they did it convincingly with two top 25 wins.
