I used a certain Jay-Z couplet long, long ago, for a preview of Jeff Driskel that I think holds up rather well even for a piece that posited a team that would go 4-8 had a national championship as its best-case scenario. But today inspired me to use it again, so here it is again: “‘Hov got flows, but he’s no Big and ‘Pac, but he’s close’ / How’m I ‘sposed to win? They got me fightin’ ghosts.”
That’s what the Florida Gators — and every football team, and every sports team, and every thing measured against the past — are constantly doing.
