Verdigo, I was at that game as well and I would concur with your recollection.

I don’t know who all these classless Gators were that Bama fans refer to as cheering, making gestures, and otherwise daming themselves to a life in hell for mocking Prothro after the injury. Sitting smack dab in that terrible, terrible Gator section, I distinctly recall a sense of “holy-shit-did-they-score-again?-we’re-getting-our-asses-kicked-ok-good-he-dropped-it” then the entire section sensing something was truly, horribly wrong on the field and a stunned silence for the remainder of the game.

DoubleDawg @ #1…the Urban legends never die… Jevon Snead decommitted when he thought Tebow was coming to Florida…Snead was with Tebow at the QB camp and knew Tebow wasn’t gonna be a lb whether he went to Florida or Alabama…so to say Urban lied is simply a petty enjoyable dig at an opposing successful coach…

Regardless, CI’s season ending injury is a shame and I sincerely hope he has a rapid and comlete recovery.

Didn’t Meyer call this injury a “tweak” just the other day? That, my friends, is karma. Meyer steadfast insistence on playing cloak-and-dagger with his players’ injuries is well documented. And that’s just another reason why he’s an asshole.

#35 – I curse Shula everytime I see a replay of Pro’s catch against Southern Miss. I sincerely hope that Shula gave Pro a percentage of his buyout when he was canned. That kid was something special.

Regarding fans, I don’t think any school is exempt from examples of poor taste, classless acts or the like. I’m sure there’s even been a Vandy frat boy at some point in time who spit on an opposing fans car when no one was looking.

Ugh – Injuries are something I never take devilish delight in when they hit my rivals. It sucks for young men who bust their behinds to suffer things like this, especially their senior year. Go Dawgs and I hope for CI’s full recovery.

Hate to see any of these guys hurt. My guess is it wasn’t the celebration but lingering effects from a chop block (you guys are slow tonight).

Re: 31

And it was 4th down…
And Bama could have kicked a field goal…
And Bama were up 31-3…
And there were just 9 minutes left in the game…

Terrible. Horrible. Miserable. Mike Shula.

Another starter for Auburn out.

Do I relish these incidents. No. Is there some malicious or nefarious cheering on my part that this ultimately increases our chances. No.

I have been watching CFB for the better part of 35 years. It’s entertainment now. I love the best against the best. Balls to the wall OT wins (sorry Bama), great comebacks (AU 2005, Vandy 2006), unbelievable 2nd half’s (UGA vs. VT 2006). And this is just in the last few years.

If I had attended tOSU or USCw, I probably would have quit watching football decades ago. What’s the point…90% of their games are decided by the second quarter. It is not the best against the best.

To have the crowd aroar, last minute goal line stands, pick 6’s and 50 yard field goals is the essence of football entertainment.

That said, I hope CI makes a speedy recovery. And plays again.

If you want top heavy, mediocre football stay away from the SEC. If you want entertainment at its finest

I feel bad for Ingram and hope he recovers completely to fulfill a fruitful NFL career – or 6th season via medical redshirt.

Or, he could go all Steve Detwiler and suit up against the Dawgs without his ligament and kill us. I hope he chooses surgery.

Texas Dog, you’re right. I’m convinced. So is everyone else, no need to keep posting until you come back to gloat in November. Your brothers and sisters over at the AJC blogs should be missing you by now anyway.

yeah i was at that uf/bama game in 05 as well, sitting right on the aisle where a fence seperated the bama student section from the gator section. its one thing to talk smack with other college age people, or even middle age guys who chatter back, but seeing obv underaged and hammered bama frat guys calling a couple of ladies old enough to be any of our grandmothers filthy cunts and then throwing a full coke on them takes the cake. This happened approx 1.5 min before prothro injury. always sucks to see someone get hurt, but the punched in the stomach look on those guys let me know the football karma gods were at work

hahahahah SEC fans lecturing about class. esp UF fans talking pointing it out. i was 10 at the ND/UF Sugar Bowl and was slapped, flipped off, and had “FUCK YOU! FUCK ND” screamed my face by a UF couple. injuries happen. injuries heal. jokes are jokes. no class involved…nor deserved
