FRIDAY LINKHAULING AND YOUTUBE FUN

by Orson on Aug 11, 2006 5:06 PM EDT

We missed so much over the course of this busy week it's shameful. But in a futile attempt to recoup some of the fine work and news we missed, please accept Friday's linkhaul and YouTube bonus clip.

--Practice reports. God, please make the next 20 days evaporate.

--WTGW has an exclusive clip of Chan Gailey's interview with James Lipton. The prime cut:

JL: We will now move to our quick questions as given by the students. What is your favorite play?

CCG: Run up the middle and then throw the ball out of bounds on two consecutive plays.

--Deshawn Wynn secured his reserved spot in Urban Meyer's doghouse by missing two days of practice this week due to "a fever." (First thought: "donut fever.") He then made things much worse on himself by tacking on another point for an open container violation. As with most police blotter stories, it's pure poetry:

Wynn probably didnt help himself last week when he was cited by a Gainesville police officer for an open container violation. According to the citation, an officer spotted Wynn, 22, with an open 16-ounce Miller Lite bottle at 11:13 p.m. on Aug. 3 in a parking lot at 400 S. Main Street. Wynn is due in court Aug. 26 to answer to the misdemeanor charge.

A point for the Gators, of course, in the Fulmer Cup standings. Speaking of...

--We really couldn't saddle poor SJSU with the entirety of Ellis T. Jones multiple, multiple crimes. So we just gave it all to Ellis, since by himself he's scored a nation's load of points:

It's really the only fair thing to do. That kind of outstanding individual effort just can't be coached.

--SIOnCampus.com's got a lovely array of pics of Florida fans. Our personal favorites are the one where you can tell how infernally hot it actually is in the Swamp:

We're coming to your party. Sweatin' beer.

--ESPN ate ABCSports this week. Kanu's thinking this is not good, we're guessing, since describing anything as "shittastic" does not equal ringing endorsement.

--We used to have the recurring nightmare that we were Jason Bourne in that scene in The Bourne Supremacy where a horde of Marines is chasing him through an embassy and up to the roof. Now, thanks to the magic of YouTube, we have another: being caught in the middle of a brawl between Ole Miss and Miss State.

--Finally, the new server transfer is at last underway and rolling. Bandwidth, thy name is dedicated server. Thanks to all who donated and made this possible.

--Enjoy your weekend.

It always amazed me the number of people who took OFF their helmets to fight.

Ah, the ‘97 Egg Bowl. This was about 45 minutes before kickoff. If you were only a few hours away from going 7-4 and not going to a bowl game, you’d be cranky, too. Frankly, the 1990 brawl to start the second half was just as entertaining.

I saw people get busted st the 400 south main street parking lot just about every time i went out when i was in gainesville. The lot is bordered by trees on 2 sides and the cops stand in the dark in the trees and wait for people to get out of their car with a beer on the way to the bars/clubs. It was only a matter of time untill a “person of interest” got busted instead of the usual frat boy. GPD is holdin it down!

Help! Just moved to Chicago. Is there a Gator Fan club in town? First time out of SEC territory. Worse than living in Tennessee.

That guy who got his face busted in the ’97 Egg Bowl brawl was a State RECRUIT at the time. They have another version of that clip that highlights him, so you can see exactly how he ends up on the turf with a bloody face. Do a search on Wes Shivers Egg Bowl 97 or any form of that and you can see it.

Let me ask you this. If you’re a recruit for a team, standing on the sidelines in street clothes, what would you do if a pre-game brawl broke out? For most of us, the answer would be something other than, run on the field and try to instigate something with someone from the other team that’s wearing full pads. For Wes Shivers, that’s exactly the answer he’d give you. What’s even more interesting, I believe the guy that decks Shivers (with one punch, mind you) was freshman RB Deuce McAllister. One punch and he knocks a 6-5, 270 pound guy to the turf. Shivers definitely at least deserved a dumbass of the day nomination for that stunt, and Deuce deserves a nomination for “guy I want most on my side in bar brawl.”

Can I point out that SI On Campus just put up a post asking for thoughts on the AP Preseason Poll, using last year’s AP Postseason Poll? Very professional.
