ERIK AINGE, PREMATURE ECHOMPULATOR
Someone was finally kind enough to find Erik Ainge doing the Gator Chomp and put it up on YouTube. Enjoy the savory irony of premature echompulation below.
We will now spend the remainder of our day hitting play over and over again. Note Gary Danielson’s prescient comment: “Still a lot of time left in this game, Erik Ainge. Get back there and start studying.”
Ainge really has no need to study, as the boys on the Gatorsports message board have pointed out. He has his own textbook for that:

What’s the story with repeated shots of Iowa fans in the stands suring Iowa-ISU on Saturday doing the same motion at the Gator Chomp?
No entiendo…

Apparently Casey Clausen has moved on from his graduate assistantship at Missy State and has returned to his alma mater to teach Advanced Survey Of Gratuitous Opponent-Baiting Techniques That Will Later Come Back To Bite You In The Ass (BAIT2401 in your course catalog).

I’d say the final words uttered in that youtube clip are as close to perfect as possible.

As Jay Cutler’s dad knows, you don’t mock the chomp!

Actually, Iowa does their own version of the Gator chomp. They claim that it’s a Hawkeye beak or some bullshit. Before we played them in the Outback Bowl a few of their fans came over to the Gator Country forums and preemptively apologized for stealing our chomp.

Dan, I think you typed it in wrong. It’s a perfectly cromulent word.

Did Sebastian Janikowski write the forward about his experience in the swamp in 1997?

Iowa only does their thing after 3rd down stops when the band plays the darth vader star wars song.
But their chomp is not followed at all by the words “get up and go,” so I prefer it.

Dammit, Jim. You beat me to it.
Yes, loveable S. Janikowski (he of the date-rape drug and police bribery scandals) mocked the Gator crowd in 1997 … shortly before Johnson to Quez.
Back to original topic, I suggest “premature e-chomp-ulation”.

Orson,
I thought WE beat YOU in the Outback Bowl. I remember it pretty clearly: Freddy Russell ran all over you. Chris Leak wished he was spending his freshman year on the other sideline. Great game all around.
PS, I have no recollection of 1/2/06.

Did anyone see the Clemson FSU game last weekend?
They showed Will Proctor’s dad and, my guess is, brother and they were doing some sort of chop/windmill/first down signal, however they were both extending the middle finger. I don’t know I tivo’d it a couple times and laughed a lot. Just wondering if anyone else saw this?
