  1. Well, you did have a good sense to join the SEC when you guys were on the rise. It would not have been so much fun under different coaches when you were losing to Kansas. it would be like Florida joining the SEC from a different conference under Spurrier in the mid 90s versus Florida joining the SEC under Billy Napier last year. Your SEC first year is like Paul Simon’s lyric, “the whole world whispers, born at the right time.” But none of that means shit. You joined when you joined and are kicking ass - which is really the only stat that matters. The fact that next Saturday is a game between Texas and Aggy that decides who goes to the SEC championship game could not have been drawn up any better from old rivalry standpoint. You had better humiliate their ass and then beat Georgia. This gator is all in on that.
  2. Man, you talk about a perfect example of addition by subtraction.
  3. there are a lot of reasons to dump on Billy, God knows, but the timeout was not one of them. People are essentially saying that he should’ve known through some mind reading predict the future skill that the snap would be screwed up. We had just given up about a 20 yard vertical pass, and we seem to be a bit unsure what we were doing. I did not want to see a repeat of that pass completion, and a time out at that point was not egregious to me to make sure the defense was in sync When he called the TO nobody could’ve known the snap was going to be fucked up. If the rumors out of Gainesville are true that he keeps his job as long as he gets an OC next year, I’m OK with his being demoted to overall CEO who gets his hands off the fucking offense. The players love him, and it is honestly amazing to me that the players stayed all in despite a really shitty season with losses caused by shitty play-calling.
  4. This…amuses me.
  5. Why do you think we buy this T-shirt?
  6. that absolutely could be to his credit. Or that can very much depend on the program relationship with the local university police department. Whatever the reason in the dim reaches of time, Florida University PD has disliked the (no doubt often entitled) UF athletes - and wait for the opportunity to bust them on something. To be fair, the mistrust and dislike of UF pd by the athletes is reciprocated. It seems that it was always that way. Contrast that with the Tallahassee Police Department treatment of FSU athletes. When St. Bobby was coaching there was virtually no way his players would ever have a problem before big game no matter what the arrest or allegations. i’m obviously not saying that all Gators were saints and all Seminoles were sinners; I’m only saying that the actions of the players can sometimes not lead to the same consequences when you have a friendly or unfriendly college town law-enforcement and local DA. I was one of the early Dion haters and I freely admit I was wrong about the level of success he has achieved so far. To be fair to my past posts, I said once the program had a lack of success and he was criticized by the press and fans, I expected Dion ‘s personality not to handle that well. Dion is a great story when things are going well, but he doesn’t (IMO) have the ability to handle criticism in a way a high tier coach should. We have not seen that situation yet. If he handles misfortune well, I will eat even more crow.
  7. I assume you forced the survivors to bury the ones who died.
  8. Why do you hate bread and circuses?
  9. Tell me about it. Why, when I was a kid, we used to have to search construction sites at night when crews weren’t working to find long shards of broken glass. We needed them because our parents would only pay for the new school year’s clothes If we showed them some item from a Hobo Camp down by the tracks - indicating we had won a battle with them. Like an eye or a severed finger… Kids today are weak.
  10. i’m sure an audit of Elmo‘s finances will find nothing that would interest the IRS if Trump sic’d them on him
  11. Flying back home after the gator-lsu game the plane was delayed going into Atlanta, because Delta. When we landed i jumped up, grabbed my carry-on bag, and told people “I’m sorry but I have to run to catch my plane- It started boarding 15 minutes ago”. I ran down the length of the concourse, and I was literally the last person on the plane. They shut the door before I made it to my seat. I’m sure a ton of other people on my flight had connecting flights, but no fucks were given by me for pushing past anyone who would let me. if I had even 15 minutes to make the flight I would’ve waited my turn - like I always do. But the Delta app had already picked another flight three hours later and wanted me to hit the accept button. Aw, hell nah! I would do that after first giving this last OJ Avis commercial re-do a shot.
  12. “Sure…. Andy Jackson talks a lot of shit about Cherokees, but they’re the bad Cherokees. We’re the good ones, so he’s gonna leave us alone…”
  13. Star chambers are never around when you need them, are they?
  14. this is a great game to join at the four minute mark of the fourth-quarter like I did
  15. We all know that the “no harm” was your boy getting free food from places other than your pit….after he out-fought the hogs for it.
  16. hoping for a classic Jamis INT right now…
  17. I guess if Trump stops all aid to Ukraine in January, then Ukraine can take out the utility and power facilities in Moscow and St. Petersburg this winter. Whatever constraints Washington DC had on Ukraine policy in return for military aid will no longer be a thing. I’d expect Moscow to go after Ukraine’s power plant and grid as soon as Trump takes over. The wildcard to me is how much pressure Trump will put on our allies not to help Ukraine.
  18. I see that you are unfamiliar with my practice.
  19. Are you familiar with the football boards, sir?
  20. Res Ipsa Excrementum?
  21. That’s because it was a hardware salesman from Indiana….and you were very drunk.
