re: video of Callin Baton Rouge and Gators stomping on the eye.

most people were probably remembering '07 when they did stomp on the eye. this was just getting hyped in the middle of the field.

That's what LSU was remembering when they saw Florida jumping near mid field.

say it's a result of most the coaches being yankees

I know "most" is an inaccurate statement

that was real nuts

The eye is at the 50 and the Gators didn't get that far. Its something they do before every game, home or away, gather at the 45 yard line as a team and jump up or down.

Wrong - they were nearly centered on the field and jumped on the eye, deliberately to disrespect LSU. They did the same in 2007 - I was at both games. In 2007, they waited, in a cowardly fashion, until the LSU players had gone in the locker room.

Auburn started all of this, but Florida now makes a regular habit. The refs used to regulate it (ya'll got a penalty in 2007), but now there appears to be open season on the eye. I guess we will have to start a brawl next time, in order to end the practice once and for all.

It sure made our offense mad!

Dammit, you beat me to posting my own video!

Florida wasn't directly on the 50, but they started at the 45 (our logo extende 10 yards from the 45 to the 45. Take 70 players and try to get them all on the 45. The team pile had many players gravitating toward midfield. However, Brandon Lafell was the first Tiger to start toward them, and he encouraged his team to follow him. I have seen the youtube videos of 2007 when they Gators were directly on midfield.

The refs were cowards for not throwing a taunting flag. In the LSU/UGA game they couldn't wait to throw a celebration flag, but when an entire team is blatantly taunting another team before the game, and not moving when several officials were trying to move them back, why not throw a flag? Cowards. I bet if LSU would have actually fought them the SEC would have made a rule preventing all teams from trying to meet at mid field during pregame. Do it in your own endzone.

Urban Meyer was very classy with his Michael Irvin-esque first down signal late in the 4th quarter. I'm actually starting to pull for Lane Kiffin.

My thoughts exactly. LK I apologize publicly for thinking your the biggest prick in the SEC. Sorry LK your only second best!

From my vantage point they were on the eye and did it deliberately.

I sit in West Upper Deck, so I saw it at the game, but on the ESPN highlights, it looked like CBS gave a great close-up.

When Florida picked up the game clinching first down, Urban Meyer went by the chains to check out the spot. He saw it was a first down and gave the ole' leg kick and first down motion. All that was missing was going to a knee and making a Zoro action with the ball to complete his Michael Irvin impersonation. If a player did that on the field they would be give a penalty.

Head coaches with class don't act that way. I have alot of anger toward Saban, but I know that his Crimson Tide will never stomp on midfield in an opponents stadium, and he won't be given any taunting penalties.

Urban meyer is a douche. I hate him as much as saban. I say let's shite on the F next year.
