Fuck Jarvis Moss, the cheating piece of shit. He was high on that jump – much like he was high on cocaine the entire season but didn’t get “caught” until Western FUCKING Carolina came to play.

And whoever thinks OBC didn’t coach the shit out of that game (including the aforementioned deep throw called back for nothing) doesn’t know a damn thing about college football and should go to a sports blog entitled “Every Day Should be the WNBA All-Star Game”

my sister got engaged before the gatorwalk at that game. i remember just screaming and screaming, thinking that the gators couldn’t lose right after she got engaged. i’ll admit to getting a little teary eyed.

Wow..it’s quite a game. I mean looking at the video, seeing people panic and hearing the loud crowd roar when Ryan Succop was blocked Jarvis Moss’ arms. How nerve-wrecking the game was, but it’s part of it all. The sweetest part of the game is seeing the crowd go nuts and jump on their seats, and it only means a thing; the game was superb!

I never get tired of that clip. If they gave out YouTube Oscars, that would kick the shit out of lonelygirl14.

hey, what does Clifton Geathers not getting into UGA and the fact that he is 6′8″ and can jump high have to do with each other? You have a quote of me saying he is a marginal student athlete? kiss my ass.

Beavis: Butthead, why are some things cool and other suck? Why can’t everything be cool.
Butt-head: Because if nothing sucked, we wouldn’t know how cool the cool things are.
Beavis: Oh, oh yeah, right.
Butt-head: Dumb ass.

This type of thing is why in my perfect game formula, I always pick an asskicking over a close win. The torment that you go through in a close win almost makes winning more of a sense of relief than of joy.

Well, at least that was settled on the field. My experience in agony is a retirement present for tom Osborne. ‘97 season. Rose bowl win. Undefeated season. Rolled over most of the opposition. Heisman. NC in the bag right ? Nope.
When the polls came out, the only thought that was in my mind was “He kicked the godamned ball. He said he did! It was f’ing Missouri!” I loathe Nebraska and Tom Osborne.
I won’t even get into this year’s NC and who was in it and why. Good game, though, UF crushed them.

Orson – that clip hurts. I was watching the game on TV with my wife (she’s a Badger alumni who just doesn’t understand SEC football spirit). I was holding a beer in a 3-pt stance in front of the tv (like I always do in tight plays) when he the kick was blocked. The first thought through my head was “No f’ing way”, the second was to look for flags, the third was to throw my beer at the tv. In the end, I finished my beer, set it down on the coffee table and went to the garage to find something to do without replying to or hearing whatever the hell my wife was saying. That ending is the unfortunate tale of being a Gamecock fan. It’s why Andrew Pinnock coughed it up against UGA a few years ago on the wining drive on the 2, it’s why we lost to Navy in 84 when we were #4 in the country, undefeated and looking at a title game, it’s why every winning drive this year all came up short against the big SEC teams, Arky, UT, and AU, it’s why Corso said not even Spurrier will succeed at SC and the rest of the world agreed with him. Well, fuck Corso. There’s more beer in the fridge and there’s always next season!

Close to literally sick? I was literally sick with nausea. So much so that to my never-ending shame, I was not a part of the amazing screaming roar right after the eerie silence. My knees literally went weak at the snap and I still couldn’t actually believe the thing was over until someone had jumped on the ball, the teams had stormed the field, and the referees left the field.

You describe the situation pretty well, but to me the sting of “holy shit that was close” wore off very quickly, because we were still in the hunt for the title. Unlike the 2002 Auburn game, when the blocked field goal sent the thing to overtime. The crowd reaction was similar (at about 80% that volume), but the feeling that “that definitely should not have been that close” was much harder to shake.

The same Clifton Geathers that couldn’t make it into UGA? LOL.

All we heard from the Cocks when he committed to UGA was that we signed marginal student-athletes. So what happens? He can’t get into UGA, recommitts to SoCar, and now he’s “a 6′8″, super-jumping player”.

Y’all are too much

34 – you are correct, we threw the ball WAY down deep into Gator territory and was called back for some bullshit penalty (thats my opinion at least).
Yeah, my knees buckled and I doubled over in pain after that happened. Very painful. The most painful experience since the Gardner push-off incident in death valley.

That being said, I look forward to another interesting game this year!!!!!! We now have a 6′8″, super-jumping player we are lining up in kick block formation that we are excited about, Clifton Geathers. Wow, that game was painful, thats about all I can say.

If SOS went conservative, and I don’t think he did, then he must have been feeling Gator-like…kinda hard to shake the orange and blue outta your system, and if you don’t know what I’m talkin’ about, y’ain’t a Gator.

Thinking back, there were inexplicable decisions even when he coached Florida, that left everyone wondering what happened. Specifically, the only game SOS lost to UGA…the dawgs couldn’t stop Fred Taylor running, so we continued to pass and lost the game. WTF? And I don’t think he took his foot off the accelerator against UGA as they are a favored whipping boy.

jebus – He did go for the throat. I believe on first or second down, he threw an out-n-up or a wheel route (or something) that connected down to inside the 10. Play got called back for illegal formation or holding or something like that. Its kind of fuzzy in my mind, but I’m pretty sure the pass was completed down there. After that, he we super conservative thinking he was in FG range (it was still a pretty long one to go conservative on). I remember thinking the same thing after that long completion. He definitely took his foot off the gas peddle after the penalty.
