Is that the funeral march for Bobby Bowden?

Wow. Tough games against Mississippi State, Tennessee and Arkansas and, WHAT!, no solid back up tight end?!?!?!

The level-headed counter to such a doomsday scenario would be something like:

Anything short of an undefeated MNC season will be a complete and total embarrassment for Meyer, Tebow and the entire Gator team.

Florida’s season centers around the health of a tight end?

And it isn’t Tebow’s round (not that I noticed) ass?

With the commercial break between quarters there’s plenty of time for “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Do we (and by we I mean the multimediarific author of this site) know anyone who can bring this up at the next NCAA Rules Committee Meeting?

Robbie Andreu was in a bit of a pessimistic mood when he typed that piece. (of shit).

Tebow, Spikes and Meyer will be throwing the words ‘focus’ in the faces of everyone on that team from the beginning of fall practice to the end of the year. Leadership will be the key.

How could anyone in Ann Arbor hear music over all of the key jangling?

UF has the same love tOSU had in 2006. That ended poorly for us. Wire to wire till the NC game. Just cover the fucking spread so I can make some money.

Taylor Mays will wonder where on the field his jock is when Terrelle passes and runs him dizzy on 9/12. Maybe that is just my wish. BTW Swindle, I am going to that game also. Call me for a pregame beverage.

Sir,
I took the liberty of editing your brief comments re: AU football.

“Subtraction by addition. Auburn has …shit.

I would have thought the FSU band would play Amy Winehouse’s Rehab between quarters. Hell, maybe during the whole game as well.

Love the multiple Auburn links lately. You do realize, of course, that you are required to mention Nick Saban 7.4 times for every link/article/reference/mention about Auburn football.

It’s in the Geneva Convention. Look it up.

North Avenue Trade School’s rendition of the Budweiser song > FSU’s tune between the 3rd and 4th Quarters.

Otherwise, yeah, FSU’s band is very impressive.

I think Gator fans (and probably Ohio State fans) are the biggest haters in all of college football. I once met a Gator fan who refused to talk to me once he found out I was a Nole. It creeped me out a little. And even with all this success, the hate is stronger than ever.

“Taylor Mays was originally born to a Blackfoot indian tribe. When the tribal elders saw the way he flatbacked a kid he was playing buffalo skins with, he was given the name Alaskan Thunderfuck.”

Ahaha, oh wow.

@10 – You’re one brilliant motherfucker now aren’t you?

If there’s one thing you can count on the Noles for, rain or shine, win or lose, the stadium will be half empty by the forth 4th quarter.

Re: Taylor Mays

Decent homage to a great player, but I tend to draw the line at blogging about the size of a college kid’s junk.

@3:

Behind Tebow, Florida has Brantley who very well might be the third best QB in the SEC. And behind both of them, Florida has Reed, whom is probably fairly good as well, but it’s hard to tell with True Freshmen. But Tebow has played with serious injuries before, and was only slightly less productive.

Behind Hernandez, there’s a guy coming off a serious injury, and a walk-on.

So lack of depth is more of an issue at Tight End. On the flip side, though, it’s not like Florida doesn’t have any formations and sets which don’t include a Tight End at all. Even if Hernandez goes down (oh dear god please don’t let that happen), it’s really more of a constraint than an emergency.

Um, when did the comment threads become message board-esque arguments on this site? Third best QB in the SEC? Don’t people, you know, have to play in actual games before you can make that kind of claim? You should see Georgia’s fifth-string defensive tackle. He’d start at any other school in the league.

Re 10:
The Friday before South Carolina-UF, I was at Grog House in Gainesville and caught a drunk SC girl from falling down. When her friend thanked me, she asked if I also went to South Carolina. When I told her no, she was surprised, but then I said, “I had to help her out. You guys are SEC cousins.” She gave me a big hug and said, “SEC baby!”
The Friday before UF-FSU, I was in Bullwinkles and a drunk girl tripped over one of the outside benches. I side stepped her and my lady friend yelled at her for being a failure who went to FSU.
At least, I can like the people at SEC schools, even Tennessee and Georgia. I cannot like FSU people. But I’ve been that way towards FSU my whole life.

you really shouldn’t count state out of anything just yet. i think we are allowed to loose at least 8 games EVERY season, but if we can ruin at top 25 sec team’s record in the meantime, the year will have been a success…..oh yeah and we have to beat ole miss.

#11: GATOR LAW, turdbird. It all starts either when we’re young or when we arrive at the age of reason – you love Florida, you HATE Florida State.

The sun is Orange, the sky is Blue, FSU SUCKS and so does the “U”.

Meaning: If you ain’t a Gator, you must be Gator bait.

Biggus –
Overall your point is taken. But arguably true if it said 4th best. He’d be sitting behind Tebow, Snead, and Mallet. Likely would be starter anywhere else.
Compare career numbers to Joe Cox (Joe – 3 years mop up, Brantley 1 year mop up)

Brantley:
18/28 235yds (13yds per completion), 64.3%, 3TD, 1INT, 163 Efficiency Rating. Cox: 33/58 432yds (13yds per completion), 57.9%, 5TD, 1INT, 144 Efficiency Rating.

Small sample size, on paper and edge to Brantley and on potential, much higher ceiling.

Cox’s numbers were as a redshirt freshman, mostly, and involved a game where he led Georgia back from the brink of a horrible loss and a start in which he played terribly. They are also not predictive of anything, though they are slightly more meaningful than 28 pass attempts in blowouts against terrible teams. All that said, small sample sizes are useless. Calling a backup who will not play any meaningful minutes this year the third best quarterback in the league is insane homerism.

I would not mix-up Mahler and FSU.
The angst that is in the music of Mahler as a Jew that converted to Catholicism is not able to be emulated.
But maybe FSU should play excerpts from Mahler’s ninth symphony where he wrote in the rhythm of his diseased heart in the opening.
It seems rather appropriate for the current state of FSU football.
There is also the fact that no Germanic Romantic composer of any stature ever made past composing a ninth symphony.
Brahms and Schumann need not apply since they only composed four symphonies.

@10
My old high school has used that same song (though a much better arrangement as it’s been modified over the years) as its fight song since the early 70’s. To say that GT oompah-band rendition of “You’ve Said It All” outshines what F$U’s band does is asinine, at best. And for the record, I too, hate F$U.

BTW, you can also hear the F$U band playing something similar (if not the same thing) at about the :58 sec mark of this clip. And it sends chills up my spine every time I watch it. Intimidating as hell. The timing was perfect, ending just before the snap, and just before Jaquez Green tore out their black hearts.

For your viewing pleasure…

Now THAT is the definition of a fuck-you play. “Wow, you got a real nice band! And that was loud! We’re scared! 63-yard gain.”

RE: math with greek letters…

I actually heard the CIO of a decent sized managed health organization use this line today…

“The math says 9 women should be able to make a baby in a month, but the physics says that won’t work”

… in reference to just throwing more people at a problem.

Auburn’s QB play will really be something to watch this season. And by “something,” I mean, fucking pathetic. And by “fucking pathetic,” I mean, glorious.

s/ bammmmmerrrrrrrrrr

DAN MULLEN IS COMING FOR YOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!

WOOOOOOO MISSISSIPPAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! STAAAHHKVEEUUUULLLLL!!!!!

Please lose there. I don’t want to die this fall, but if I do, let it be from laughing at a UF loss to Mississippi State.
