Thank you South Carolina; that is a particularly glorious version of “To Hell with Georgia.”

Jeff from LA says:

Congrats on the amazing victory. I was cheering for you guys the whole game.

Since USC is apparently out of the BCS title game, I’m rooting for either Texas Tech or you guys to win it. Speaking of which that Texas Tech game was the best game I’ve seen since Boise State-Oklahoma.

Florida is pretty frightening right now. Their biggest weakness is that their coach likes to speak in the 3rd person, but I don’t think that any other coach knows how to exploit that. Not even Saban. (God, I hate both of them.) My only consolation is that with all of the ass that Georgia offered up, the Florida locker room most definitely stinks.

Speaking of Garcia, Holly, did you happen to catch the announers mention ‘collecting swords’ as one of his hobbies?

@ 49, well the cards had an early game today and beat the piss out of the rams, bloody marys help with the hangover from yesterday and are good, so yeah. keen observation

@48, sadly i am not sweating either tiger squad this year. LSU will certainly be the tougher of the two tests. it really is too bad auburn had to suck so badly this year, if the SEC west title came down to the Iron Bowl, this would possibly be the most epic year in our storied history as the greatest college football program ever to be. but alas, the barn had to suck giant cock and kill 90% of the drama from this years’ (and most likely the next several) installment.

I think Tebows eye thingys should have had the verse from Pulp Fiction Ezekial 25:17:

“………And I will strike
down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is Tebow when I lay my vengeance upon you!”

To quote Orson’s summary from last year since they so eloquently put my feelings into focus:

�Rimjobbing snowballing cockbait? Shit.

�Fishfisting condor-rapist fucktrolley dildo-cowboy cocksmoking? Check.

�Shit, ass, fuck and more fucking bastardnuts shitfighting? Double check.

Your tears last year were delicious. You have mine this year, sir.

Just terrible. We deserve – and should take like men – all the shit that is going to be dished up here today.

I remain a big fan of Richt’s, but it’s hard to get behind his habit of showing up completely flat for big games.

DHC says:

OVN @ 63 -

Will Meyer be compelled to apologize to the SEC offices for calling timeouts? Is calling timeouts subject to ejections (like leaving the bench)? Was there a real risk of an ugly brawl from calling timeouts?

No, no and no.

One more question: after Richt’s stunt last year, are you guys on Meyer’s semi-permanent shit list?

Yes. Now suck on it for 364 days.

OVN,

heheh thanks for letting us know that bothered you. It should have. But you didn’t cry about Rainey’s kick return yet, which I found to be equally as humiliating for you. Please share your thoughts about that as weel.

As DHC so eloquently put it, “Now suck on it for 364 days.”

Spurticus says:

Yo, little help: the CBS station in Tallahassee did not cut away from Ole Miss-Auburn until Georgia’s third-down play on the opening series, so I did not see the Brandon Spikes tackle on Knowshown that ’set the tone.’ Anybody know of a link where I can see it? Or have it on your DVR so you can YouTube it? 100 ‘World’s Largest’ cocktails in advance for your efforts.

Wish I could’ve heard what Spikes was communicating to Moreno after that hit. Pleasantries of the highest order I’m assuming.

OVN & Dawgs,

As an LSU fan having been the recipient of two sodomies myself recently, I figured there had to be some loser to gloat over. I was pulling for GA but bet on Meyer/Tebow. Some remedy, my ass still hurts!

As to winning classy, there is no such thing in a blood game, nor should there be. If you don’t like it eating shit for a year, don’t play. Into my 6th decade as a Tiger fan and over the years, like any program, there have been so many BIG plays that making a top 5 list is almost impossible. But during scotch induced fogs, I can always fondly recall the mid 80’s in what used to be a blood game w/ Tulane, Coach Arnsparger lines up for a late game field goal with a huge lead over a beaten Tulane and promptly fakes to throw a galling TD pass. Of course the benches cleared as fights broke out all over Tiger Stadium. My point being, there are big plays and FAVORITE plays.

I’m pretty sure the Celebration and the time outs this year will only add to the memories when you’ve already forgotten the actual score.

p.s. GA will never be competitive as long as that series continues in JAX (just like BAMA-Auburn playing in Birmingham years ago)

betagator says:

unfair in Jax? Come on now, folks. It’s 50-50.

The dawgs weren’t complaining about it when they were beating our asses way back when, were they? Did we whine about it? Nope!

The WLOCP is one of the greatest traditions in college football. Don’t mess it up. You’re gonna lose up there too.

I wouldn’t be calling for home and away even if the Gators had been owned for longer than the players have been alive. Really!

Quit your whining – all you have to do is win, and stop making excuses for why you suck so much.

I’m glad that extra motivation thing works for Florida. It never has for Georgia. For us, extra motivation always seems to equate to certain future embarrassment. Thanks a lot, Old Testament God. I thought you were off on Saturdays.

P.S. Dooley clearly made a deal with the devil to sign Hershcel.

OVN @ 63
Is it just an ARP Reflex for UGA fans to cry out how classless everyone else is?

I said at the beginning of the season how nice it will be to watch the flailing descent of UGA in the polls. But even I underestimated the pleasure it brings. And guess what? you got another loss coming.

Assume the position and get used to it. You’re going to be there for a while.

OVN says:

Classy talk aside, how do you support Meyer calling 2 TO’s with 40 seconds left in a 49-10 game?

Most UF fans I’ve talked to were a little sick about it, just like many UGA fans re: “the celebration” from last year (this fan included).

For the ones that support and defend it, I can’t even begin to see how.

Brian O'Blivion says:

Those two timeouts were Meyer’s big “fuck you” to Mark Richt over the celebration. And I not only supported it, I fucking loved it. I only wish he’d passed the ball deep after those timeouts. Arp, indeed.

NewsDawg32 says:

ZZ – Spikes was just telling him about the 188 push ups during the summer, 1 for each of the yards Knowshon gained the year before, with a little demonstration.

You guys got the victory and get the 364 days of gloating.

The one thing I will say, Spikes really should be playing for tha ‘U’ with the attitude.

PrinceLightfoot says:

Re: Tebow’s antics during the final time outs: Jake Locker is wondering why that wasn’t “any delayed, excessive, prolonged or choreographed act by which a player (or players) attempts to focus attention upon himself (or themselves).” Someone told him there was no judicial discretion available to the stripes in calls of that type, and a flag just had to be thrown.

From the stands, I couldn’t tell who started the final drive under center for the Gators (Tebow’s 15, the backup is 12, right? The announcement of a new QB wasn’t made until a couple plays after the change of possession.) Meyer’s entitled to call his allotted TOs, but I question the prudence of leaving Elder Heisman in there, which he appeared to do. Someday, Martinez’s testicles might suddenly descend, compelling him to put 8 men in the box, and give Meyer reason to reconsider that decision, especially since (as stated above) Gator fans were clamoring for the deep ball. Of course, one would think that particular egg-drop, if possible, would have occurred before now…

Brian O'Blivion says:

@84 Brantley played almost the entire 4th quarter. He came in with ten and half minutes to play, and was on the field during Tebow’s celebration on the sidelines during the timeouts. Yes, Tebow could have been penalized for running down the sidelines and celebrating, and I could not have cared less if he had been.

November 3rd, 2008 at 1:36 pm

PrinceLightfoot says:

@85 Right you are, looks like Tebow left the game after the Harvin TD reception at 11:36 to go.

The Locker connection was more a comment on the BS line the refs tried to take after that UW game (”Not a judgment call”) than a comment on TT’s antics. I’ve seen barely a TD per game, since, that shouldn’t have drawn a flag, assuming the ref’s hands are so tied…

NativeSon says:

OVN @ 81
Simple.

The first TO was the “SIT” command.
The second TO was the “STAY” command.

Meyer didn’t need a third TO for the “ROLL OVER & PLAY DEAD” command, since your players took the initiative and did that all on their own.

Al-D says:

I said last week on the leave your thoughts on how we get back at the dawgs thread that Tebow would keep throwing late in a blowout. check. as far as the timeouts are concerned, i thought it was a very obvious but not so outrageously dick way to get back at UGA. If Meyer wouldve thrown after any of the timeouts then I could see where the pups would be mad, but it just delayed the end for an additional 2-3 minutes. The part i thought was the best, which only a few dozen non family Georgia fans were still on hand for (thats got to be what that one still full section was) was when UGA finally scored a TD and got the full standing ovation from the still full Florida stands. Priceless. And guys, get over the “we’re classy, you’re not” arguments. Everyone from the SEC is the exact same way: totally class-less in victory (we don’t just kill you but desecrate your bodies too) and full of excuses and BS and disappear in like 15 minutes from the scene of the crime when we lose. (and im obviously not talking about everyone, just the vast majority)
