Gregg Doyel is a total faggot. I hate that guy. He is the most arrogant prick in all of sports media. He is more arrogant and abrasive than Jim Rome during a “Chris Everrett” statement.

If there is any justice in this world, Doyel will meet Brandon Spikes and John Brown (only ones I really know because both picked UF over UA) and they will detach his retinas with their fists.

Or, Greg can come on down to Birmingham and I’d be glad to do the job. Greg Doyel is an idiot. At some point, a pissed off SEC fan will kick his ass.

Roll Tide and nice job Gators. Eventually, your run will end and we will win the SEC, so long as our left tackle in future good seasons can muzzle his uncle.

The look on Bradford’s mug says, “I just woke from a horrifying dream that ended with that safety screaming the word ‘weight room” at me…and then I realized that this is my life, and I, like most everyone else this side of the Greenwich Meridian, am merely bait, of the gator fashion.”

There is a scene in Inconvenient Bad Call when Ron “When you’re Smilin’…” Cherry is connected to the Vatican money was basically put into the the ACC to stop the Canes from high-fiving each other or even making eye contact with the other team. Hes flagging Hurricane players for things former players did decades before. Hes making Cotton bowl make up calls in 2008. And calling personal fouls on current players for how bad Clinton Portis’ costumes are, all while appearing to be a rusty Louis Armstrong impersonator doling out retribution with a southern colonial severity intended to get the Canes for all those past humiliations handed out to the more established institutions of sport. Meaning Notre Dame. Its DaVinci code stuff. It goes all the way back to Cane and Abel.

#45 That’s the rule in college, and the announcers (one of them) screwed that up too. I’m not sure it’s different in the NFL either. It’s a weird rule. If you get the first down, it’s 1st and 10, fifteen yards back. But if you don’t, it’s say third down and whatever you had to go + 15 more.

If it’s first and 10 (15 yds back) after the penalty if you get the 1st, why wouldn’t it be 3rd and 6 just 15 yards back?

What was up with Trautwein? Never seen him jump off-sides so many times. WTF?

“When your defensive coordinator is caught on camera screaming �We�re FUCKED!� after a touchdown, you need more than bubbles and quiet storm to wash that away.”

Please tell me there is a YouTube or GIF.

The coin flip near-snafu was priceless, and really set the tone for the officiating. I also like that “tails” was the side of the coin with two HEAD coverings, but even I will admit that’s nitpicking.

On another issue, I had always assumed that a dead-ball penalty after a first-down should result in the yards plus it being 1st and 25, rather than merely first and 10 but 15 yards back. Was this a mistake by the crew, are the rules different between NFL and NCAA, or am I just smoking crack?

Sorry, that was not PI.

Both the ball and Major Wright arrive at the 28 second mark of that video.

Cherry and crew could be the worst officials in BCSCG history. OU held all night and was called once.

And what was up with the penalty on Murphy for a 1st down call? Cherry was just driving to give the Gators the business.

A well deserved congratulations to the Gators for a job well done and a special thanks to Urban Meyer for helping preserve one of my favorite end-of-season traditions – watching Big Game Bob get out coached is always a joy. Excelsior!

Doyel just wants us all to know he’s not a homer for Florida. He’s not the first former UF “journalist” to shit on the team in order to claim impartiality (ridiculous though that may be). Orson has linked to several columns this season by other Florida (and _Alligator_) alums at marginal Florida newspapers, trashing Florida (or Tebow) just to score some “journalist” cred. Ironically Doyel presumes that his bad-mouthing of Florida and the SEC will carry EXTRA weight because he is a UF alum.

#35 FOX & ACC Officials�.FAIL!

Actually Fox and ACC officials are perfect for the whole BCS system, which is FAIL.

Nothing like watching 4 sloppy games (nobody watched the Orange Bowl) after a 40 day hiatus.

Now everybody in the SEC and Big 12 understand why I just bring a bullhorn and a tape recorder that says FUCK YOU RON CHERRY on infinite loop to any game he officiates. Otherwise I’d have no voice by the end of the 1st quarter.
