PETER KERASOTIS, WORST COLUMNIST IN AMERICA, IS LYING.
If you read Peter Kerasotis’ column following the Auburn game, then you shouldn’t have, because Peter Kerasotis is the Worst Columnist in America. However, if you innocently stumbled into the jumbled wormhole of completely false statements, one line paragraphs, and smarmy baseless supposition that is the average Kerasotis column, you may not have escaped without minor brain damage and the indelible image of Auburn fans storming the field in a bloodthirsty, senselessly hazardous mob, holding lit fireworks, handguns, and running with scissors in their celebration.
It was not a safe environment, as evidenced by the thousands of fans who rushed the field unhindered immediately after Auburn scored a gimme touchdown on the last play of the game.
Thousands! Hordes! Teeming throngs of naked Auburn fans painted blue and orange tossing Chinese Throwing stars at each other! Just…look at them.

Pandelirium, I tell you!
Peter Kerasotis must have written this from the comfort of his home, with its large, foam rubber pads covering every corner of furniture and plastic grip pads on each non-carpeted surface. We just like to imagine him, sipping Riunite on ice and reminding visitors not to step off the plastic carpet tracks running through the house.
Will wrote him to point this out; check out his piece on From The Bleachers for Kerasotis’ bizarre response.

It’s still there. I’m actually a bit disappointed, since slapping FT around for airbrushing the column would have been big fun.
Check after Petey’s apparently de-rigeur one-word ‘paragraph,’ “Drinking.”

Tim Brando is an idiot who should never be quoted.
Florida fans whining about Al Ford and loud music between plays sound like Dustin Hoffman bobbing his head up and down and insisting on watching Jeopardy.
Let it go, people.
Or, at the very least, gain more than 100 yards in the second half of the rematch in Atlanta.
I read the P.K. article online a few minutes ago and didn’t see anything about thousands of Auburn fans storming the field. I’m assuming the editors took that line out of the online edition of the column. If he put that line in print, then he owes Auburn University an apology.
Oh, and for the clowns saying it wasn’t loud in Jordan-Hare Saturday night, you’re really taking this loss tough, aren’t ya? That was the loudest I’ve ever heard in that stadium and that’s saying a lot.

Tim Brando did the same thing to WVU two years ago when we finally beat Maryland after they WAXED us 3 or 4 straight times. I personally attended the game. After the game winning touchdown by Chris Henry absolutely no one rushed the field. Everyone stayed in the stands and sang Country Roads. The only people on the field other than the players were the stadium Event Staff who, after every single home game, immediately take down our collapsible goal posts.
Tim Brando’s comments on CBS (i think) that saturday night were as follows:
“You dont think the Big East is weak?! You dont think the Big East is weak?! The #1 Big East team WVU beats #4 ACC team Maryland and the fans rush the field and rip down the goal posts!!!”
Wow.

Misean,
Well, that settles it–SEC said the call was right. If you think that’s dispositive, then you are one naive dude. This is at least the second time this season that they’ve refused to acknowledge a blown call. It’s pretty clear what the philosophy of the league office is: unless the call cannot be possibly be rationalized in any whatsoever, they’re going to defend the calls of their officials.
AUAlum, didn’t his kids graduate from AU? I grew up within about 5 minutes of Al Ford, and it was widely understood in my area that he was an AU supporter (something AU fans in my area not only acknolwedge, but bragged about).

I’m really glad that you’re all talking about Kerasotis like this. His article got me really angry because of the way he portrayed the Auburn fan base, most auburn fans will invite you to their tailgate for a beer and some ribs or whatever and we try to uphold that standard of sportsmanship. IMO Kerasotis was most likely on his way back to the hotel when the game ended. Couldn’t stand seeing the beatdown any longer and just assumed that the Auburn fans would rush the field seeing as how they did back in 2001 (which was the last time auburn fans rushed the field.) Anyway, I look forward to the game in Atlanta, it promises to be a good one.

Petey has been on my sh*t list for sometime now. He’s an embarrassment to the Gator Nation. Despite the poor reporting on this past week’s column, one thing he did impress me with was the fact there was not one reference to SOS.
I’ve never seen more man-love for an athelete or coach by a pundit since Beano annointed Powlus with a Heisman hat trick.
What’s 14 inches and hangs between Steve Spurrier’s legs?
Keratosis’ tie.
