Well, why not? He’s done more to put points on the board than Tebow.

Boy, that Timmy Tebow’s a real nogoodnik, he is! Not the kind of fellow you trust with your daughters, dads, that’s for sure.

Let it never be forgotten that certain writers (cough, Mike McCall, cough) once touted Sturgis as “the Tim Tebow of kicking.”

I see your Sturgis, and will raise you one Tiffin….We are the originator of this craze….
Its called the “Wildcat of Kicking” I call it the “Kick Kat”….soon, everyone will be trying to kick from the 3 yrd line on first down in the red zone….never mind you average over 5yds per carry… Dont waste your teams time with going for 6! Those kind of decisions are risky! Just line up and kick! Its a low risk, low reward proposition, and by golly, just good conservative business sense! If we can get to the SECCG, I say lets just play soccer by God…..

This is one pearly Gator whose kicks through the uprights are downright heavenly! The Volstead Act can’t prohibit this bootin’ leg from sliding three points “down the hatch”!

BTW, “copacetic” is a little, um, Harlemy for the kind of John Held Jr. effect I assume we’re going for. Our chorines maybe be tall, tan, and terrific, but our prose shouldn’t be, not if we want to lunch at the Union League Club, that is.

And…cue the Daniel Moore painting to hit the presses of “Rocky Block” in 3…..2……1…..
Also, this whole Bizarro Tebow and Bizarro Red Zone Offense Virus that has been unleashed on both Florida and Alabama has to be stopped……up is down and down is up…..and Crompton looked like a competent QB for the first time…..can we get a do over???

Dear Dustin Doe:

LOOK WHAT THE FUCK YOU DID. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmAYpAzNB34

“up is down and down is up”

Cats and dogs, living together…mass hysteria!

And can I just say, while I don’t miss Croom, I miss the phrase “getting Croomed” (see username). Getting “Starkville’d” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

My Dad’s comment on the game tonight: “Well it’s pretty obvious that Tebow is shaving points.”

i just wish I could pick the lotto numbers the way my gut’s been predicting the Gator play. I said it four weeks ago, so it is quite interesting to read the comments tonight (and by that I do not mean to express any talent in prognosticating college futbawl- quite the opposite!)The Gators’ entire offensive scheme- from the play calls to the spotty play- has been disjointed and uneven all season. It’s like there’s two distinct offensive schemes in play- one featuring the dive play, the design Tebow/qb draw, the forced throws to roomie/Cooper, and then the balance of Rainey I and Moody draw (and maybe if we’re lucky a pass to the TE Hernandez, or omg, there’s Nelson OPEN, again!). wha? it’s all too schizophrenic- leading us to Caleb being the new COTG chosen one. wtf, am i back in school with games being decided by field goals? (f’ the wayback machine- I don’t wanna go there). love the “W” but we all know this dysfunction can’t continue. A nightmarish South Carolina game already haunts me…and shit if poor, stroke-addled Lee Corso didn’t call it (and I neurosed here weeks ago about Corso and his damning Ticonderoga pencil stabby-stab-stabbing me, as he makes the point) about Addazio. Vaffanculo! (to quote my Italian friend).

Addazio probably looked at what Crowton was doing two weeks ago and thought, “Wow, now he’s got some good ideas here….” Let’s not forget that LSU invented this years ago and designed it around Colt David, the former walk-on who was transformed into the school’s all-time Leading Scorer.

What does Sturgis have to look forward to due to this newly-found notoriety? Why, not being able to hold his liquor quietly, of course! Linky: http://www.2theadvocate.com/news/police/56132652.html

“and Crompton looked like a competent QB for the first time”

Shakes head and wags finger in Pelican Pants’ general direction*

@ 10

Exactly. They also seem to be playing really tight. Tebow was really forcing it last night. There’s only so many shitty playcalls he can rescue.

He ought to throw caution to wind and go lose his virginity. May relax him a tad.

Great comment, #1.

Also, I’m not necessarily defending him, but how much of the blame really belongs at the feet of Steve Addazio? Could it be that we just aren’t executing— Tebow not making reads, OL not giving Tebow time, etc.— and any play that we call is destined for failure?

Although, perhaps it could be argued that it’s the job of the OC to know what is and isn’t working and make the necessary corrections and call the plays that do work (for example: anything w/ Rainey). Anyway, with UF’s talent, we should be able to execute even on plays that weren’t necessarily the best play call in a given situation.

Two words – Zorn Addazio.

13: The problem with Addazio is he thinks 476 different dive plays constitutes a playbook. (“We’re going to get them with this one. 37 Z OVER QB Dive. They’ll never see the Z over coming! NEVER!!! I’m a genius!!!”)

At least we’re not coached by Lane Kiffin. What the hell was he thinking? Why make your offense drive the ball if you’re just going to make your kicker try a kick he can’t make anyway? If you’re going to ask that kid to hit a 45-yarder, you might as well just try the FG from your own 20. He’s equally incapable of hitting from either distance.

So, I guess I’m saying, it could be worse.

Fear not Gator Nation… the cure for what ails your creaking offense arrives in 6 days.

Tebow/Rainey/Hernandez/Thompson/Moody breakout game in 3…2…1…

Sigh.

Where’s my world’s largest cocktail, already?

16 – Addazzio thinks your Martinez is puny and will easily not break thirty.

Don’t worry guys, I got this.

I’m still looking for a Halloween costume; may I borrow your Zoot Suit? Does it come with a pocket watch on a chain?

Actually, ali you Gator and Bammers, the original three-point terrorist was none other than Billy Bennett who attempted more field goals than any other kicker ( I believe in NCAA history), but I could be wrong on that stat.

Bone @7: I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. Mainly because the Kansas guy actually scored.

If Tebow was shaving points, it’d only be to feed starving orphans in Ghana.

Jakldawg @20, True, Doe actually earned that rant more than the Kansas guy. Who the hell is stupid enough to hotdog into the end zone with 2 guys within 3 yards trying to tackle you? Even if he had crossed the plane it would have been nice to see it taken away so he was forced to actually learn something from it.

Out of anything else last night, that play made me the most angry by far.

Unlike his doppelganger, Addazzio would just punch out when he lost both engines in his F-4, letting his plane to crash into someone’s house instead of guiding it into a swamp where it belongs. I bet he also bounces basketballs off the back of his kids heads. Suck it up Sports Fans!

Am i the only one who believes Ron Zooks achieving revenge on Florida fans who massacred him by paying of f Addazio & Loeffler to screw Tebow and the team???

Am I right in thinking that Doe is the guy with 4 arrests over the past two years, but somehow keeps getting back on the team? Doesn’t appear to have great reasoning skills.

Replace Addazzio with a die. If only one of the sides is labeled “dive” and another “sneak”, then the offense can only improve.

Mason Crosby > Caleb Sturgis > Mike Nugent > Florida’s O

Jim Tressel approves of this post.

/ at least your offense hasn’t devolved into “punt > rest of game”

I’m just spitballing here, but maybe, just maybe, losing Percy Harvin and Louis Murphy, two NFL-caliber receivers, has something to do with the inefficacy of the Florida offense? It’s a lot easier to cheat up when Riley Cooper is the team’s primary receiver.

I think it’s obvious that the Doe TD wasn’t a TD, and if the refs could have done so, they might’ve punished him for showboating by calling it a fumble, but I think a whistle was blown before the fumble was recovered in the end zone by Miss St. Because the refs didn’t know how to account for the play being dead, they just upheld the TD call.

Given a choice between a team that lost its offense and gives you grief
as it ekes out win after win after win against lousy opposition whom it
should be crushing, BUT is STILL #1 and will get into the BCS championship
game because pretty darn near everybody is in the tank for ya, and a
team that plays like the #1, blows everybody off the field, whose offense
is a thing of beauty BUT is still only ranked #12 and has no shot at making
the BCS championship in this injustice-riddled, antacidchewing excuse
for a sport, what would you choose?

BE HAPPY, GATOR fans. You’re still alive, winning and on track. And
go easy on Tebow…there is no doubt in my mind he’ll pull it out.

And Dan Mullen continues the proud tradition of whining about the refs after a loss: http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/recap?gid=200910240078
Et tu, Dan?
We played like fail incarnate, but this incessant whining is so annoying. It’s at least comforting to know that every single ref in the SEC, from replay official to line judge, is involved in a vast, ridiculously implausible conspiracy to get UF to the national championship again.

I would just like to thank the replay official who may/may not have ridden the bus home with us last night. On the other hand, I wish they had called it back too, so that dumb doe bastard would learn a lesson. I’ll say it: I miss Dan Mullen.

Bama is so mired in the red zone that Tiffin is 1st IN THE CONFERENCE IN SCORING. He’s 5th in the nation. Caleb is a lousy 56th in the nation. (In McElwain’s defense, when he’s not on pot brownies he has managed to call enough runs to make Ingram the 26th leading scorer in the nation… Caleb may not be leading the nation, but he is leading the Gators. Don’t worry Gator fans, Dan Mullen will be available again for the 2013 season.)
