WELL-ORCHESTRATED AGONY: BUCK TO LINDSAY TO UGGGHHHH…
How long this took to rig up, we’ll never know. All we can say for certain is that we’ve never been more simultaneously sickened and impressed at the same time–or at least as much as we’ve been since we saw Meet the Feebles for the first time. (You ever care to see a muppet walrus fuck a muppet cat? Or watch a Kermit the Frog lookalike shoot up? Yes? Then Netflix is ready when you are.)
Anyway, we present (via Paul Westerdawg) the fully choreographed Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott play, the most clearly historical instance of the Gator defense’s inability to defend the slant, no matter the year. The scene syncs perfectly with the Larry Munson call, which is included.
As bad as it was for Florida, an announcer admitting that he broke a chair during a call is still more evidence of Larry Munson being run-flat gangsta awesome. How the person who rigged this whole thing up so cleverly without figuring out video transfer, though, escapes us, since that’s something we’ve figured out, and we’ve got the HTML skillz of a lobotomized marmot.

“There’s gonna be some property destroyed tonight!”
Being that he’s in Jacksonville, and not Columbus or Morgantown, doesn’t he mean “tourists”? Or “livestock”?

I nominate this as the filler that should be applied to all offseason addicts. A nice addition to the crunching youtube blows of Andre Smith, et al.

I think the best part of this story is my mother telling me that the sky turned brown because everyone was throwing their bourbon drinks in the air as Lindsay was running.

Ah…Belue to Scott. The highlight of Georgia football.
And perhaps the peak, as UGA has not won a “national” title since that year.
One of my favorite Jacksonville memories is of a rotund early 20 something Georgia fan weeping as he watched a replay of “the play” on the TV at Hooters. As he said, “It always makes me cry”.
Of course, since the year was 2004, said Georgia fan was unlikely to have even been born when Larry Munson made his famous call. Yet, it “always” set him a cryin’.
Perhaps he cried for what Georgia has been since then.
Do you think Bulldog fans would trade that moment to avoid the Gator domination of the past 20ish years? Or, merely for a win against Florida in 2002, where that 7 point loss kept the Dawgs from competing for the MNC? (Yet, a similar loss by LSU to UF only a year later allowed the Tigers to play for – and win – the MNC. Oh the humanity!)
Perhaps, in hindsight, that beloved play was but the start of a very long curse…

Cousin Pat from Georgia says:
Can you imagine how different that call would have been, or how bad the property destruction truly could have gotten, had this game been called the World’s Largest Outdoor Coke Orgy back in 1980?
What I thought was neat about the video, and I noticed it during the 4th time I watched it, is the momentum bar shifting at the top. Kinda looks like understatement to me.

Only beef I have with that otherwise incredible video – Herschel Walker (#34 at the end of the clip) had too much class to carry on like he is there.

How did he sync this up with Munson’s call to the nanosecond? If you’re like must ‘Dawg fans, you’ve watch/listened to this particular piece of history so much it has actually become part of your electromagnetic Kirlian (sic?) Aura super-freaky mojo magical touch. He just basically willed it to happen but osmosis and Voila! It was done. Religious.

Orson- I think what makes the re-enactment so awesome is the grainy feel caused by video taping the TV instead of converting direct to video. I think it’s an effect of design. Not lack of skillz.
(btw — I’m lying. Just propping up my boy’s video b/c it’s OFF THE CHAIN). He’s got 2 more finished and 1 more on the way.

Mergz,
I’m only a Dawg legacy, was born two months after the Sugar Bowl win (ironically enough, over ND), and that call still always brings a tear to my eye and a smile to my face. Has never failed. No surprise it makes a true Dawg weep.
Larry Munson is the greatest (like it even needs to be said). Couldn’t get SEC games in the midwest (unless they were on CBS), so through college most UGA games were brought to me via WSB’s internet radio feed of Larry Munson, and I would listen to every second. I really hope he makes it back for this season (and beyond).

CLT Dawg –
As Ltrain so eloquently points out, and I paraphrase here, “only your grandfathers own our grandfathers asses”.
Since 1937, Florida has a winning record against Georgia.
I will allow that to settle with you for a second.
In the area of the forward pass, in the era of non-leather helmets, Florida owns Georgia.
Since before World War II, Florida owns Georgia.
If you a Bulldog fan who is less than 69 years old, Florida owns you.
Sure, your grandfathers owned ours.
But we own your fathers. We own you. And we own your children so far.
Yes, the current record is 46-37-2. At the rate the Gators are winning, we are looking at a tie in 10 years.
Now, would I prefer to have a winning record for the last 69 years versus a winning record overall?
You bet your ass I would.
