Our Story

Florida Gators podcast with thoughts and analysis from host/creator David Waters, Will Miles from ReadandReaction.com and contributions from Bill Sikes. Featured on News4Jax.com with weekly appearances on The Bill King Show. From News4Jax: “Gators Breakdown,” hosted by commercial production manager David Waters, is a must-listen for Florida Gators fans that brings together a blend of banter and in-depth analysis of the storied program.

Waters said the project traces its roots to Twitter, where he first shared his thoughts on the team and began racking up a loyal following. That in turn led to guest appearances on other podcasts.

“I wanted Gators Breakdown to be a different kind of podcast and not just run of recaps, to cover football using data in an in-depth way not found anywhere,” he said. “It took some time, but it has finally got to that point.”
