FLORIDA/GEORGIA IN ONE IMAGE

I don’t know… Florida gave up TWO touchdowns to the jawja ginga ninja, AND gave up another dance party.

Clearly Florida is overrated and heading to another Outback Bowl. (For the slow… Yes that was, in fact, sarcasm).

At least this year’s beatdown is not accompanied by the WOOOOOOOO Orson Face on the title graphic. It would give the kiddies nightmares.

Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

Clearly our takeaway from all of this should be to never, ever, let any player with the name “Joe” “Joseph” “Joey” or any other variation thereof (lookin at you ‘Jose’) play quarterback at Georgia. Not that Logan did demonstrably better (see above).

Hats off to the Gators on another impressive victory. With any luck, today is the day we finally put Willie out to pasture, but I think the entire defensive staff is fair game. I was constantly amazed by our complete lack of coverage. The corners were a good 10 yards off every receiver, and the line – when it actually got a good push – looked almost scared to try and tackle anybody in the backfield.

Perhaps most distressing was the lack of discipline. Dumb penalties (though some were admittedly questionable) but really just dumb players. I should not see some second stringer strutting around after a big hit down 3+ scores late in the game. Disgraceful.

In the final analysis – 4 games left in the regular season, I still think 3-1 is obtainable if we get our stuff together. After tonight, not so sure. 2-2 is most probable, 1-3 is absolutely unacceptable. Regardless, we’ll know a lot more about where the program is headed after this offseason.

Georgia did great on offense with two touchdowns, but I guess when you pass against them (and can’t gun it in like Ryan Mallet) you are playing with fire. Defense probably needs a breather against Vandy though before South Carolina.

Spikes looked like he was trying to find his car keys inside that guy’s helmet. Dirty fucker.

Color me unimpressed. A great team would have taken this pathetic UGA team behind the woodshed without their substantial self-inflagration. i just think that UF is going to mighty surprised when they actually play a very good team. I am pretty convcinced there are no great teams this year.

Self-immolation would probably be the better term.

I see your Brandon Spikes and raise you an Earl Thomas.

I love you Orson but I hope your favorite team goes and fucks a small hole in a concrete wall.

Orson, are you going to see The Jesus Lizard in a few days?

Seriously? You’re proud of that?

I’d be embarrassed.

Sipping this fine bitterness brew is better than any morning cup of joe. Keep it coming.

@6 The Florida players and staff have been notified of your position and have taken it under advisement. They will try their very best over the coming weeks to impress you.

I for one, am thoroughly impressed that Florida can dismantle an inspired UGA team like they did….

Is Tebow the best player ever on a CFB field? Certainly one of the most influential…

I regret that he only has 4-5 more games to spread licks to defensive personnel

6

Agreed. But do n ot think UF will get their ass handed to them.

As far as “great” teams this year go, it seems like everyone wants to see two top 10 teams go at it hammer & tongs with one just absolutely getting blown out of the water from play one, which has not happened yet (re: Clempson or Gawga/Bama 2008). That either means there is parity among the top 10 or nobody has the depth of talent to kick ass en route to a 31-0 halftime lead. I opt for the latter.

Hell, even Vandy was leading the BEEEEEESSSSSS at the end of the 3rd qtr. And rumor has it that Jevan Snead’s name will be taken off the back of his jersey and be replaced with OVERRATED.

Dear Mr. Addazio:
Thank you for treating me on Halloween.

Dear Mr. Rainey:
Get well soon.

Four interceptions… all by linebackers. Mmmm, that is delicious. While it turns out that teams that actually challenge our secondary can actually move the ball a little, it’s nice to know all the interceptions last year wasn’t a fluke.

However, having to scream at the TV “Don’t do something stupid for 15 yards, Brandon!” at the end of every play gets tiring over 3 hours.

Why is this not filed under “Georgia is supplying the butt?” Because they supplied lots of it yesterday.

FLA has a distinct advantage because their ILB is the Predator. I wonder where he keeps his skulls.

I’m about to write something no MSU fan has ever uttered: Damn, I wish Georgia was on schedule this year.

So, can we assume that Mike Slive’s suspension of a crew has been taken to heart? ’Cause a week 1-6 SEC zebra probably notices that ball-spinning. Or is this just more fodder for the conspiracy?

Mr. Spikes was just attempting to collect Ealey’s tax as part of his County Assessor duties. Obviously, he felt the need to tack on some extra penalties due to prior “bitch moves” made by Ealey’s associates.

I heartily agree with Irwin Fletcher…nothing more bracing than a morning dose of bulldog bitterness.

That kind of stuff happens every single game in a pile… eye gouges, sack grabs/twists… simply part of the game. I’v ebeen the recipient of those types of things plenty of times. They just got him on tape…

If Rennie Curran was caught trying to blind somebody, I probably wouldn’t critisize him too much either. Your players are your players. But that was gross.

Baby steps, Meg.

Oh wait, it’s week 10.

If this is worth investigating, I would offer that it is out of the ordinary. I’ve been poked in the eye in piles every game. I’ve never heard of someone thrusting their whole hand through a guys mask after the whistle. The only reason I have a problem with it is it’s a true freshman on an unranked team. I wouldn’t try that next year. It’s a pretty gusty play.

I guess Orson.

See you in Pasadena

“Seriously? You’re proud of that?

I’d be embarrassed."

I’d be more embarrassed by this:

I was being a bit more rational Florida fans. Look at the numbers and you will find that UF pretty much got what UGA has been giving out this year. Hell, UGA looked better running against them than just about anyone this year. I hate all things UF, no doubty. But, in this case, all my bitterness is directly aimed at the UGA sideline. I am just pointing out that I have yet to see any team out there in the college football world look like they have both a great offense and a great defense. UF has a great D, but their offense is only working this year when they play lower D1 and DIA teams- and I most definitely put UGA’s “defense” in that category.

Hey, Georgia fans, want some lemon juice for that paper cut? There’s a not-at-all kidding argument on the GT board about whether Duke or Georgia is going to be tougher to beat. Everyone admits that Georgia has much better players (probably more overall talent than Tech has, if not at the skill positions), but Duke proponents note how much better the Devils play as a team. Ouch, that’s gotta sting.

Yeah? that ball flip after a pick six definitely didn’t deserve an unsportsmanlike flag. Nope, not at all…

The best part of that pick six was how Spikes looked so blase about catching it. He looked like he was running a drill in practice. Catch, jog in for six, yawn.

@29

How wonderful is it that Georgia fans are reduced to complaining about penalties after a 24 point beatdown?

It brings me immeasurable joy. Here’s hoping for a 1-3 finish, and staying home this bowl season!

No question that Spikes is not what one would call a gentleman on the gridiron——and by the look of him he’s at least 30 years old——but I digress. When dealing with this type of player and the other various showboating from the Gators, you’ve got two choices: 1)Whip their butts and keep it from happening 2) Complain about it afterward. Winning cures all ills, and excuses most all misbehaviorin’ and misdemeanorin’. Bulldogs need to congratulate the Gators…….and find players of their own similar to Spikes. If Dawgs want to make this a rivalry again, they’re gonna have to toughen up and quit complaining.

@Afletic Dawg, would it make you feel better to have gotten that 15-yard on the kickoff penalty? I’d say Florida would have been happy to give them to you. Your coach had surrendered, given up a game, with 6 minutes left, probably trying to avoid having timeouts called on him at the end, when he was only down by 17 points. If he’s not going to care anymore, ala Kiffin, then why should the refs?

Cocktail Party = scrimmage for Florida

@32 The Dogs have an entire roster of similar dirty f’in players. Anyone think that Spikes got that face tickle idea on his own?

@29
Maybe it was a little payback for the bitchmove your guy Nick Williams pulled on the first play of UF’s second series. You know, where he put a little helmet-to-helmet on Tebow? You know, well AFTER the ball had been handed off? You know, AFTER Williams had already slowed up because the ball had been handed off – and then decided he could take a cheap shot?

And then UF drove the rest of the 92 yards. And scored.

STFU.

I agree with you. Until he can figure out how to play smart, I would absolutely prefer to see Nick Williams hanging out on the sideline. What is a good play worth if it will only be followed by a personal foul.

@37
That’s just it. It wasn’t called. Just one that got away, along with that nasty, mean old ball-spin move from Spikes.

Meg, not sure why you’re being so earnest about lack of dominance and excitement at the top of the BCS this year. We’ve only been talking about it for 6 weeks now.

What can I say? Crappy college football makes me cranky. I have been discussing it as well all season. I guess just not on here.

Florida won, as fair and square as a big-time college football game can ever be expected to be. Congratulations on that.

But the excuse-making for Spikes’ thuggishness is just pathetic. “Everybody else does it” and “he started it” are apparently valid excuses in Gatorland? What, are all of you twelve?

Much worse are the folks who actually revel in it. Thank you for helping confirm our ugliest stereotypes about Florida people…a lot of you really are Snopeses, aren’t you?

Drove all the way home from Jax…took a nice hot shower….in a real shower as opposed to the postage stamp sized one in the RV…and still the bitterness continues on here.

Nice.

Apparently not only is Mr. Spikes a “thug”, but he is also quite advanced in age. Who knew?

The Spikes move was inexcuseable. I guess it is ok until you get caught.

So what happens if Spikes does real damage? Just for the sake of argument, let’s say something like that happens during last years MNC game. Spikes gouges Bradford and Bradford becomes blind in one eye, completely taking away an NFL career in one terrible move.

I don’t give a flying fuck if Georgia hits Tebow late after every fucking play. This isn’t some kind of retaliation bullshit, and the SEC needs to step up and make an example out of Spikes. In my opinion, it also needs to be more than one game, being that there is alot better chance of permanent damage from an eye gouge than there is in a punch. Remember the lineman for the Browns that was blinded by an errant ref’s flag?

no one ought feign surprise. Brandon Spikes deserves to be sitting in a cell block next to his brother. their mother must be proud. the Bulldogs have plenty of thugs and fools on their side as well.

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, does ‘bitter’ like Georgia.

Now go get you shinebox.

@Meg

UF has a great D, but their offense is only working this year when they play lower D1 and DIA teams- and I most definitely put UGA’s "defense" in that category.

Actually, since the Kentucky game, the offense hasn’t even been working against lower IA defenses (Arkansas, Miss St). It’s been moving the ball, yes, but not finishing the job. So the fact that we managed to score in the red zone—even against a bad defense like Georgia’s—is cause for celebration at this point as a step in the right direction.

What pisses me off about other Georgia fans is that we can only revert to calling Florida “classless”. Really? That’s all we’ve got? I’m glad that we’re so classy that we enjoy serving up a nice big ‘W’ to the Gators every year.

I’m sure that I’m pretty classless when it comes to Florida. A lot of Georgia supporters are. I don’t see why we need to feign this Southern hospitality bullshit when we are getting our dicks stomped on. It hasn’t worked for the past 20 years.

I hate Brandon Spikes. Have since the Knowshon Hump last year and all of his antics since. I would not have been disappointed to see a UGA player go out of his way to stomp on his knee. Why should I? He doesn’t feel bad about physical harm not associated with the normal risks of playing football.

El Kabong: You said: “I don’t give a flying fuck if Georgia hits Tebow late after every fucking play.”

Yeah, because we ALL know that shots to the head do NOTHING to damage a player.

I don’t condone what Spikes did – but your comment above shows just how stupid some people are.

Your tears are delicious, Georgia fans. That was a very chippy game and Spikes definitely contributed to that. Not excusing it, but I love your righteous indignation. It’s so Ducks Unlimited and “Ties and Sundresses to the game”. Enjoy Shreveport.

Gator Bone:

UGA is pretty much dead last or in the double digits of every SEC category defensively, except running D ( mainly because why would any team bother to run when they can pass every single down and score more quickly).

However, steps in the right direction are certainly cause “to celebrate”. Just don’t be surprised when you hit a decent D and relazie that step was simply false.

UGA fans and their self-righteous indignation about Spikes’ behavior is, well, self-righteous indignation. The move was blatantly illegal and possibly criminal, but UGA fans need to extricate that action from their comments about Florida fans and players in general. Two reasons. One, UGA offered Spikes’ a scholarship, and having an offer from UGA and UF is something practically all players on both rosters have in common. Two, Spikes is from North Carolina, and I don’t see how the actions of a Carolinian have any relevance to a fan who roots for a team in Florida.

I know its much easier to spit anger at the opposing team instead of looking in the mirror, but UGA is not a good football team. Nobody is better at getting less production out of more talent. With Florida on top of the division and Tennessee rising out of an almost decade-long malaise, Georgia will be back in their rightful position of 3rd in the division.

Presumably you are talking to the Bama fans on this board?

Will be interesting to see where Oregon ends up, if they win out, winning every game since Boise State the first week. If anyone falters, they may be the best one loss team in the country. Iowa will shit the bed somewhere and be out of it sooner or later.

Georgia: the biggest inferiority complex thinly masked by the biggest superiority complex.

seriously. of all the fans i’ve ever been around… arky, lsu, ga tech, auburn, bama, scar, tenn, texas, OHIO STATE, yada yada… the under 35 georgia fan base is the absolute worst. maybe they’re different to teams other than florida? but jesus christ.

complain all you want about brandon spikes. but take a good look at your own delusional nasty ass fans. it’s one thing to talk shit to a taunting gator fan. but to almost get physically violent with a small 5’1 girl? fuck you. i would say that i hate them and hope they’re not even bowl eligible… but they’re a nonevent.

have fun with Tech!

TENNESSEE TECH.

I do not condone violence aimed against the fairer sex, but this kind of annoys me:

“…take a good look at your own delusional nasty ass fans. it’s one thing to talk shit to a taunting gator fan. but to almost get physically violent with a small 5′1 girl? fuck you.”

The problem I have with the statement is that most of the times, the “taunting gator fan” and the “small 5’1’’ girl” are one and the same. “Turn the other cheek”, “Be a man and suck it up” come to mind as proper reactions to a wasted girl spouting off at the mouth, but she is at least inviting Georgia fans to give her shit [verbally and not physically, of course]. Trust me, Georgia has a ton of those girls too. And you are correct, we do have more patience with fans from schools not wearing Orange and Blue while doing the Gator Bait chomp.

Also, rjsplow – “I know its much easier to spit anger at the opposing team instead of looking in the mirror, but UGA is not a good football team.”

I’d say Florida did/does a pretty good job of further proving to everyone that Georgia is not a good football team. But it doesn’t mean that your two scenarios are mutually exclusive. Georgia and suck and Brandon Spikes can be a dick at the same time. The universe is still intact.

One thing I will say, is that at least Spikes can cash the checks his mouth writes. Prince Miller cannot, but still spouts off at every opportunity which pisses me off to no end.

Gator fans have short term memories. It hasn’t been that long ago that they were reliable with 3 and 5 loss seasons and all hated Chris Leak.

I guess the sentiment is that football is cyclical. Talk shit and crow while the getting is good because every team ends up eating that crow within a few seasons. Until Florida gets beat, they can talk shit. And yes, regardless of the merits of Georgia, Spikes played dirty and should get a one game suspension. All sorts of shit goes on in the pile, but it isn’t talked about. When caught on camera – time to pay the piper.

Paul. Really? Merely walking into a bar wearing orange and blue warrants that behavior?

Don’t think so my friend.

It’s a game. it’s not worth taunting. especially since i’m pretty sure one of those drunk/aloof kids with a lot of misplaced anger would actually act on it. LSU fans aren’t even that trashy.

Georgia fans…the rare combination of delusion and resignation.

@51 – whoa, whoa, whoa… Don’t shorten north carolinian to just carolinian when talking about a thug… Even though he is a badass football player, we already have enough thugs in south carolina and don’t need anymore thrown in the pot… North carolina is well known for their thugs anyway… They introduced us to one with the line, “who am I? Petey pablo, muthafucka…”

m – I probably did not state my words clearly. I didn’t mean to say any fans wearing school colors should be harassed, but the ones who are being jackasses. The ones spouting off at the mouth, even if they are 5’1’’ girls, should expect to get shit talked back to them. Notice I didn’t even exclude Georgia fans from that group?

That’s the point I was originally making. Florida fans are jackasses to Georgia fans. Georgia fans are jackasses to Florida fans. I don’t see why the fan bases try to act like they’re above the other side regarding moral issues. It doesn’t make it right, but taunting is prevalent on both sides of the aisle. To assume that it’s only Georgia fans is being ignorant.

“Gator fans have short term memories. It hasn’t been that long ago that they were reliable with 3 and 5 loss seasons and all hated Chris Leak.”

Chris Leak- did what no Bulldog QB since Buck Belue has done- won a national title, suck Dawgs- Chris Leak is more successful than any QB you’ve had in my lifetime. and he’s the 3rd best Gators QB of the last 15 years. (And don’t give me crap about David Greene- McCoy’s breaking Green’s wins record, maybe you guys and Horns fans can debate who the winningnest QB never to win a Big one was).

Look, I’m not defending Spikes but if he wasn’t getting hit late in the Helmet all game maybe he doesn’t have to eye gouge a punk, act like a punk and you get slapped down.

If you promise me 17 of the next 20, I’d be happy to take all the taunting (not fistacuffin’) in the world from any fan base.*

On another front, can we all finally get over the Bye/No-Bye prior to the game crap? Florida is 3-1 since 1990 (90, 91, 09 = win 07 = loss) when Georgia is off and Florida isn’t. Since ’90, Florida is 12-1 when the roles are reversed. So yeah, technically the bye helps UGA lose at a lower %, but me thinks the players/coaching is the MUCH more important factor in the ultimate victor.

After Dockett tried his hand at ligament adjustment on Graham in the pile, I’ve really not been a fan of dirty players. Not that this is the first questionable thing Spikes has done, but enough is enough. I’d be down for a 3 game suspension so he can come back and unleash his rath of cheapshotery on FSU.

*Offer Valid for any program excluding Vandy, UK, and D-1AA teams, in which case 20 out of 20 needed.

Paul: "I don’t see why the fan bases try to act like they’re above the other side regarding moral issues. "

Because their blood-alcohol level is approaching double digets?

Wanna know how to stop someone from gouging your eyes out in a pile? Simply move your helmet down and to the left and break that motherfuckers wrist, or start biting finger tips off….or get your revenge and make it count, hell if you are losing, whats another 15 yrds? I hear hitting someone square on the knee is legal. Arky did it to Donta Hightower, took him right outta the season. After viewing that, I hope we make it past LSU so we can get to play Florida…… and Ingram, Upchurch and Richardson truck that mofo every chance they get. Non-Stop.

According to his interview in the Savannah News, Ealey didn’t mention anything about Spikes trying to hurt him or anything.

But don’t let a fabricated “on the internet, must be true” rumor get in the way of Georgia’s bitterness, and other fan base’s Florida fatigue.

For the last time, please (with sugar on top) go get your shinebox.

what the hell does class get you anyway? it damn sure won’t get you a NC, or even a SEC C. so go be classy GA, and we’ll play dirty and continue to kick you ass every year. thanks for playing.

Hobeg8r, you’re a fucking ’tard. My point was about retaliation, not about the potential of injuring Tim Tebow.

DHC,
You’re an assclown. I really hope you are not referring to Spikes’ eye gouge.

Live By Honor. Die By The Cheap-Ass Motherfucker Who Doesn’t.
