The UT version of storming the field after a score? Get Florida… one shoelace at a time…

Add to that the shutting down of the visitor’s locker room air conditioning and they had Florida in a real pickle.

Perhaps the very infrequent playing of Rocky Top in Neyland was also part of the plot. (“The Gators have been playing Rocky Top down in Gainesville all week. Let’s find a Reverse-Psychology student to tell us what to do.”)

Still a better strategy than having Crompton throw downfield. Or anywhere.

That is what makes SEC football great, and is why Auburn is going to Velcro Cleats this week.

This was retaliation for the scorching titty twisters the Gators had been giving out all day long.

The sad thing is, he was trying to tie the Gator’s shoelaces together, but that went about as well as every other offensive scheme Saturday.

It was painfully obvious that Tennessee players can not play football and tie anyone’s shoes.

…..at the same time.

is this really Fulmer and Clawson’s new offensive scheme in action? CAn you imagine: Crompton doin’ that to Terrence Cody, only to have Cody fall on him? Oh, Vols fans might support that. Damn my big thinking out loud.

yep… the way things were going, there was a good chance that Tennessee player would have wound up with the shoelaces tied through his facemask.

UT player: “hahaha lets see you run around me now!!”

FLA player: “ok… (kicks face)”

The Vols weren’t cheap just there.

Maybe they should just play more games with PAC-10 refs.

Calls for “jumping” and “tripping”? And they miss this? Even after the review to ascertain the call on the field, they miss this?

Crimson Daddy @#9/10: Do you really think that Crompton knows how to tie shoes at all, though? His or anyone else’s?

…and what about Tebow’s picture taped to the walls all over the weight-room? What kind of motivation did that inspire? Obviously not one beneficial to UT.

At first I thought it had been photoshopped and then I thought maybe that lineman’s hands really are that clean and small. Then I thought what difference does it make cause we are making fun of tennessee which is a great way to pass the day waiting for Saturday night.
