After last season and the stuff I heard about Georgia rushing the field, how great Marino was and that not only did Tebow not deserve the Heisman he couldn't even make the USC 5th string as a QB. Well here we are a year later, and if that rush to the field by Georgia fired up anyone it was obviously the Gators not the Dawgs. Good old Tailback, every time we tried to discuss Florida and Georgia he kept telling us how brilliant Richt was and playing us a UTube of Marino. I told him more than once before he finally got himself banned that at the end of the day Nov 1, 2008 Georgia would have one more loss than they had at the beginning of the day. Walla, it comes true. I can't wait to find some utubes of Tebow scoring 3 tds and passing for 2. Perhaps the three interceptions by Stafford and the fumble by Marino. There were 84,000 fans at the game but about 42,000 when Georgia scored their TD, all Gators as the Dawgs had vacated the stadium. However the Gators being the true sports that we are gave Georgia a standing ovation for managing that touchdown. Pardon me for gloatting and it basically was meant for one or two who aren't here any more any way and I'll go back to just being Sweet and Gentle Gator Bill. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Now that I got that off my chest! Mark Richt is a good man and a good coach that if we didn't have Urban Meyer I would be happy to have at Florida. The Georgia fans I had contact with at the stadium were nice people and they were still partying outside the stadium. The trip to Jacksonville is always nice as I get to see my daughter and her family as well going to the game. It looks like Florida and Bama re headed for a matchup in the SEC Championship game. Bama has a two game lead over LSU, and the Gators have a one game lead over Georgia but own the tiebreaker because we beat them so that's an effective two game lead with two games left for the Gators with Vandy and S. Carolina. If that matchup comes about I think it would be the 6th time that Bama and Florida have met for the SEC Championship with the Gators leading 3 - 2. I'm not at home right now and am going by memory on that one. I'm a happy camper tonight and hope you all will forgive me for my little rant above.
Nice vent Bill...... Hey...I felt immense satisfaction every time Tebow looked like the real Tebow yesterday. TB really pi@@ed me off last year when he failed to accept that Tebow was very limited by his shoulder in that game. Yesterday the whole team seemed to take it personal.....and it was oh so sweet!
I'm home and this obviously didn't strike a note so I'm locking the topic. But I do not apologize for getting some things off my chest.
Bill, I feel that you have nothing to apologize for. I unlocked it for more comment. If you had other reasons for locking, feel free to lock it again.
Thanks for the comment Tom. I am not feel the need to apologize for my remarks. But not many people have commented and I don't want it to turn into a pi***** match. I'll leave it up for now and I do thank you for you comment. Hey I'm waiting to see if I can find a couple of U Tubes about this game. :twisted: :twisted:
I thought it was just fine that after a great win like that, you took a lot of crap from TB last year over that game. I didn't see it as becoming a pi$$ing contest. But it just wasn't a topic anybody, including me, had anything to say. You said it all!!
Very enjoyable game for the Gator fan ..... and very tough on the dawg fans I saw in the stadium and after the game. Interestingly, before the game, the UGa fans we saw seemed quite confident in their chances, more so than we were in UF winning, especially by such a great margin. Just to "pile onto" what Bill posted above ....... after last season's difficult loss, this was very gratifying, especially watching much of the UGa defense pretty much quit in the 3rd quarter. No pics of the fishing as we didn't have much luck - cold weather and 20+ winds. Hope MCG does better in Marco. Go Gators ..... sink Vandy!!! 8)
Well if anyone on either side of the Florida-Georgia rivalry thought it was cooling off in past years, the actions of Georgia last year and Florida this year have added enough fuel to the fire to keep the hated bitterness white hot for at least as long as the current players/coaches are involved. Man, that was a fun game to watch! Here's the video of Moreno's first run and Brandon Spikes saying "last year was last year, welcome to THIS year!". Yeah, I'm sure that's what he was saying :wink: . Tone-setter for the game. And here is Stafford not having his best day. What pain killers were they giving him through the game? After every drive he was limping off on a different leg or had a sore arm. Then on the following drive he was all fine again. I can only imagine how much he was hurting on Sunday.
Congrats to the Gators on a VERY impressive win. They proved what I thought coming into the season. 1) Georgia was way overhyped 2) The Gators were the team to beat (at least in the East) I like Florida's chances the rest of the way and I hope they don't let an inferior team sneak up and bite 'em. That potential SECCG versus Bama will be a fun one to watch.
Thanks Aquila. Wendy, that UTube video has been removed. That floors me. It was a good hit. :twisted: :twisted:
Fished two days last week at Marco Gaterz. Three of us caught 9 snook, 4 grouper ( largest 27 inches ) and approx. 28 of the usual mix of 4-5 lb jacks, mangrove snapper, some cats and of course the ladys. Caught all of the fish inside.....including the most edible, tasty Grouper.
