DEADSPIN PREVIEW OF FLORIDA: PETRIFIED COCKATIELS

Great stuff. Especially the intro, where you artfully eviscerate the one-joke repertoire of 99 percent of Deadspin commenters…

GAYTORS! WEAR! JORTS! WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!

/Got that out of the way. You’re welcome

Okay, so I guess we take the Deadspinners off the list of potential members for the Don Rickles fan club.

And the majority of the comments show an inordinate amount of anger amongst that crowd. A touchy lot they are.

JORTS! #2

I like that part about getting pimples on the privates from ESPN’s love. Georgia hasn’t had that problem since The Trev went to go wreck his havoc on Atlanta’s skyline.

Pitt fans must be feeling a trip to the health clinic about right now because ESPN finds them SEX-AY!

The deadspin commentors are like Sunny Delight and dick. Both are an aquired taste for those who feel so inclined.

rino @ #6…my prefered description is “catfood and ass”…but ‘sunnydelite and dick’ works, too. Those guys are a tough crowd…“anger” barely covers it…more like “rage camouflaged in low-level erudition and nerdly inferiority”.

Is it just me, or would Deadspin commenters a couple years ago have just cracked back at Orson as opposed to getting all “get off our website” defensive?

Disappointing show, Deadspinners.

Also, great preview, and just makes the first week of classes that much harder to sit through knowing noon football at the swamp is a mere 5 days away. Which means it’s almost time again for 10AM binge drinking. I can’t fucking wait.

TJ@9, Orson or other UF alums,

I read somewhere that UF was the only school that allowed Re-entry after halftime. Is this still the case?

Can you really run out to your cars, slam some more drinks and be back to your seats but 2nd half kickoff?

If so – my goodness you earned bonus points in my book.

#10, Ryno

We used to, but the University killed re-entry around ’98.

TIM TEBOW, TEAM HOTEEEEEEEEEELLLL

@Ryno:

FWIW, KU allows re-entry after halftime, which is great considering we tailgate across the street from the stadium. It’s glorious, from what I can remember of it.

Is the same true for hoops?
I’ve never been to Lawrence, but if the weather wasn’t too bad – might be nice to sneak out for a drink or four.

No, it’s different for basketball – no re-entry.

Yeah, the football halftimes are actually really convenient – about half the stadium leaves to go back to their tailgates. The stadium is bordered by campus lots and neighborhoods, so everyone is nearby. We usually have a few drinks, munch on something, and get updates on all the other games.

I guess all that I’m allowed to call that vignette is tripe…what with my monosyllabic brain and all.

I do, however, appreciate the Rainey info – I actually have a UF player to pull for this year.

@10 – I was there during the halftime re-entry years. Ironically, they called it “Pass Outs”. Seriously. There were mad rushes to the bars across the street for Kamikaze halftime. It was the best thing ever, and so much fun, so of course, they had to put a stop to it.

The commenter on Deadspin who called Orson an “insufferable cunt” wins the internets.

@10

Sadly the others are correct and there is no re-entry anymore. Hell, I had a friend last year kicked out when he didn’t have his ticket with him (he left it at his seat) on his way back from the concession stand. Luckily in undergrad I was in the marching band and no one checked our band bags (no longer allowed) or camelbacks (no longer allowed). Hence the need now to get especially hammered before the game.
