Sailing makes me feel so free, man. Filed from a catamaran off the coast of Walton County, FL. Hey, kitten. Yes, you. You in the corner, there. You look so…stressed. And stress will just kill ya, baby. Chill out with some smooth grooves here, ’cause even though we just went through some rough waters, there’s smooth sailing ahead, baby. Have a pina colada on me. Talk to my friend Chuck for four minutes of feelin’ good. Yeah. That’s better now, isn’t it? The wicker chair and mirrored coffee table? Oh, yeah, they’re new. Sometimes you lose, baby. Now that we’ve got the catamaran into some smooth waters baby, let’s just talk. Sometimes, you lose. Sometimes everyone loses, baby. It’s part of the whole cosmic game. Oklahoma lost to Dan Hawkins and Colorado Buffaloes, who live that clean mountain lifestyle, baby: all granola, no free radicals, power crystals and free-range chicken and hot tubs and shit. Oklahoma was gassed in the fourth quarter from the altitude and coughed up a shot at the title, baby. It happens. It’s Chinatown, Dennis. Let it go.And when you lose, someone’s really happy. Like USF? They’re really, really happy right now, because they kicked the shit out of West Virginia. (SNNIIIIIIIFFF!) Whoa. And Maryland? They’re just freaking ecstatic that they just kneecapped Rutgers’ entire season, especially because they’re not that good. And Cal? Well, they nearly lost to Oregon, but fortunately the Ducks autodeleted their chances of a win at the last second with a fumble into the endzone. Remember the end of Chinatown? When the worst thing in the world happens? Well, that ain’t it. Fumbling into the endzone on possible tying TD is. Sometimes you lose to a 300 pound quarterback. And losing happens in thousand wild ways, darlin’. Pass me the fondue fork, will ya? And a napkin, because there’s no way I’m getting cheese on this new Izod. Anyway, look out there. There’s fish in that sea. Big ones. And none of them weigh more than Josh Freeman, but he beat Texas anyway, baby, mostly because the Longhorns just gave them every enchilada he wanted, especially to receiver Jordy Nelson, who got 116 yards on 12 receptions and a TD from the big man. And you see, there’s a duality there that hangs it all together, right? Enchiladas of sadness for Texas, right? But for Freeman? Those were enchiladas of happy, baby, filled with the guacamole of sweet victory. Pass me that mirror…. Sometimes, even ninjas lose. (SNNNNIIIIFFFF!!!!) Ah, woo! That’s great shit. Anyway, sometimes even ninjas lose. Like Florida. They’re ninjas. They’ve got all these plays, and formations, and stuff. And they’re fighting this big, strong retard. Big motherfucker who’s gonna do one thing: hit you in the face. So Florida’s like, BAM! throwing star, bitch! And it hits the retard in the arm, and he keeps coming. So Florida’s like, WHAM! Nunchuks, fucker! And it bounces off the retard’s head, and he keeps on rushing in toward ‘em. So Florida’s like, WHAM! Death touch, yeah! And the retard picks him up and throws him into a tree shredder. So yeah, ninjas. They get thrown in tree shredders, too. Pass me that mirror one more time. At least singlet guy won. And when singlet guy wins, we all win.
Hey…did we just drop anchor? Where the hell are we? Those aren’t…sharks…are they? Call the Coast Guard, dammit. But pass me that mirror one more time, first, sweetie. And that flare gun. Yes, I’m firing wherever I damn please today. |

Actually, Jamar Hornsby (redshirt freshman who should know better!) ran into the Auburn’s kicker, not Cornelius Ingram. We have two number sevens.
I know what you’re saying, though, I was cursing that penalty through the whole game. Still can’t believe he did that and the HUGE difference it made.
I’m still in my glass case of emotion… tear…

[NAME REDACTED] made me some money this weekend….for that, I’m thankful. It was a good weekend to bet on underdogs.
As a Florida fan, that game was brutal to watch. Just brutal. There were two plays that I look at and think if they were different, the game probably goes the other way.
1) Running into the kicker. If Ingram doesn’t commit this foul, UF gets the ball around midfield with momentum. Instead, AU goes on a fantastic time killing drive down the field for a TD. Complete game changer. And in the process, it validates Tubby’s wuss call to decline the penalty and make it 4th down instead of giving his offense another chance at making the first down.
2) The punt. In an otherwise fantastic day punting the ball, the blocking on that play was poor and he punts it 30 yards, giving them the ball around the 40. Even if he gets it around the 25 out of bounds on that punt, Tubby is not going to take too many chances with it on his own end. Instead, he opens the offense up, UF plays horrible defense on 3rd and 3 and they get into FG range.
Fuckity fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

Along the lines of #86…
The timeout is a crapshoot. If the kicker misses the first attempt during a timeout, egg on gator face.
An equally rational strategy would be to act like you’ll call the timeout during the first attempt, then just not call the timeout. That one should really take the kicker for a mind-fuck.
Bottom line, when you need to resort to such tactics (or pray for a block, etc.) against an inferior team at home, you probably don’t deserve to win. Desperation has such a foul odor.

#47, The Strong Arm of Justice is not scared of LSU and neither should he be.
I do hope the rest of the LSU fans and their players keep thinking it is a foregone conclusion that the Kitties beat up the Gators this weekend.
If Mullin’s off the painkilling meds then we’ve got a fighting shot.

Tigerhorn, we have enough lawyers hanging around here that we ought to be able to make a trade with WebMD, but the exchange rate is a killer. Don’t 5 JDs = 1 MD ? I would go 10 to 1 if we could get House.
(I think I’m an old hippie when I read “flare gun” and the first thing I think of is Deep Purple. I know I’m not that old when I read “flair gun” and I think of Jennifer Aniston.)

Chuck Mangione went to USC. Not only that but I believe he played during halftime during the Florida @ USC in 1983. Does it mean anything? Well that guy that was tasered at Florida knew something about it.

I said “i shot myself with a flare gun”

I think in the loss, three positive points from a UF aspect are being missed.
1) Tebow is still Tebow. He can’t be held down the whole time (it does help for Groves to be out, but Tebow wasn’t completely shut down before then).
2) We saw glimpes of Harvin as an actual receiver. Up until now, it’s been pure speed; he showed some receiving skills Saturday.
3) AUAlum mentioned it above - If this didn’t end up as a loss, I fully expected the banners at the top of this site to change to Major Wright images - I can’t tell how he is in coverage yet, but, wow, he can flat-out hit.

93 beat me to it. Nicely played. In fact, I would’ve been disappointed had it taken longer.

Groves would only have that power if his toes were in a passing situation; if they were planning to run, he would be out of position.

100 -
We have UVa, Louisville, USF, Rutgers & Cincy all in a row. I say we win two, maybe three. 5-0 is 5-0, right?
I would like to say that Duke has been playing really well lately. I got called out for saying Duke was a buy last week but they’re playing some good football. They’re getting to four wins this years, I feel it.

Everything I’ve read says Groves won’t be back before LSU and maybe longer.
Yesterday Tubs reported that the three toes had been popped back into place. By that I’m sure he means Groves stared icily at the toes and growled “back!” and the toes quickly reset themselves.
This injury just seems so bizarre. What are the long-term implications of dislocated toes? Why isn’t there an EDSBS medical staff person on call to answer these questions?
At least it appears that Groves gifted a portion of his gigantic balls to Wes Byrum before crutching himself off the field Saturday. There is no other way a true freshman makes those kicks under those conditions.

Hey guys, I disagree with the Maryland comment. I’m a longhorn fan, but I had money on Maryland to cover the +18.5 spread. The issue is that Md benched the starter, Steffy who sucks, and put in a sophomore kid Chris Turner. The kids was amazing. He’s pretty big, has a cannon for his arm, and was awesome because he was hitting passes downfield which opened up the running lanes for baby Ray Lewis.

tigerhorn,
I have heard form 3 weeks to the whole season on Groves. It is definitely disheartening.
We have been without Davis all year. So I guess we can keep on, especially with Lester coming off suspension. I really feel for Davis though. The kid has played all over the field and was ready to really contribute.

I wish that instead of calling timeout to ice the kicker, it would make the game more entertaining if they could just let the opposing coach shoot fireworks at the kicker and let him try to kick it thru the smoke, flares and sparklers because…frankly, kickers + timeouts are boring, and that way the kickers have to earn it. Makes the job “kicker” sound interesting. Kickers have no friends except for the 5 mins after the game, if they win it, and even when they win, its back to Lonerville. If they lose they are getting a blanket party from “Full Metal Jacket”.
No one wants to say “hey, I’m dating a kicker” unless its Adam Vinateri. Who can raise their hands and dreamed of growing up and being a kicker?–crickets chirping—-
