So who is UGA's new West rival?

Never has so much mileage been squeezed out of beating Kentucky. It was obvious Florida was up for the game remembering what Kentucky had done to Tebow in 2009.


A couple of things here, UF came out very flat on Saturday. They didn't play good and if they were playing anyone with a pulse it would have been dicey. UK was missing open receivers, was able to run a bit and is somehow worse than I thought.
And I don't know any Gator using the UK game as any kind of indicator on how the rest of the season will play out.

He still have that show with the crippled ginger?

Dale Murphy and Dominique Wilkins.
Actually we're having a parade in Gainesville on Tuesday to celebrate our national title. And while doing it we're going to do something really scummy, any ideas?
Everyone knows when you cross a state line your team crumbles to shite. UF needs to drop FSU and schedule a home and home with Savannah State.

Yes Bama held a 20-17 lead six minutes into the 4th qtr and trailed 24-20 until 2 minutes in the game when Wilson threw a desperation pass that went for a pick 6.


There was no pick 6. Are you sure you watched the game.

quote:

If that pass goes for a TD, Bama wins 27-24. So I guess it was really 1 one play game, since that one play was potentially a 14 point swing. Thanks for showing me that game was even closer than I remembered.

What pick 6?
Your original point about the 2008 UF game was you were winning with under four minutes to go. I show you the last time you had the lead there was more than 9 minutes remaining and you reply with thanks for proving your point?

quote:

Yes. Was 20-17 Bama with less than 5 to play.

FOURTH QUARTER ALA FLA
FLA TD 09:21 Jeffrey Demps 1 Yd Run (Jonathan Phillips Kick) 20 24
FLA TD 02:50 Riley Cooper 5 Yd Pass From Tim Tebow (Jonathan Phillips Kick) 20 31


Dude just STFU, you have a wrong point about your wrong point.

I thought I'd like our spiffy HD board as well but I've grown to hate it. Most of the time it's spewing shitty Sea World commercials and playing some Chevron race game with cars 1-3, or hiding a football under helmets. And if it's showing a replay half of it is being used for some advertisement. Also our fans used to be loud between plays, now they're just staring at that thing waiting for the replay. IMO, all that kind of shite is for NFL games.

re: UF struggling to sell tickets

Before last season UF had a top 5 streak of consecutive sellouts. So DGD's entire premise is wrong.

the cackalinians pack out the brice. AU packed there place for the 50 some odd years before 2010.


Simply not true. I was in WBS last year, sitting in the top three rows and the ole lady I watched the game with nobody within 10 feet to the left or right. In 2009 I bought tickets online the week of the game. At the AU game last season the place was packed out but when I was there in 1999 there were empty seats everywhere. So there are instances of less than capacity crowds at other places as well. That said, our fanbase was damn loyal for many years. Seems like we picked up a lot of bandwagon Tebow type fans and some started to expect to much. It's an embarrassment to not sellout after doing it for 20 some consecutive years. I doubt it will ever be back regardless of record. Many small changes have ruined the gameday atmosphere in Gainesville.

You're paying way too much.

He won't be their best DB again this year, Simon is a better player.

Quite a few caveats you have to drop in there. Of course you are the one who said "sports"
I'll take it. In 2006 and 2008 I wouldn't give a shite.

I watched Bo take himself out of the UF/Auburn game in 84. He wasn't all that tough. I have nothing against Auburn and hate UGA with all my heart. The guy is nowhere close to Walker. I've never understood why he's mentioned in the same breath.

Pitching staff has two potential first rounders next year in Crawford and Whitson. Problem is the lineup will be putrid.
Hilarious title for the series. Also the worst times ever. Yes the most important game of the year should be played at 1:00 on a fricking Monday.

That is quite the hyperbole. Statistically the ACC was the best in the regular season. You can't really blame the selection committee for that.


They haven't won a national title in about 40 years or so. I'd agree that doesn't even qualify for middle of the road.
