Don’t be a hata, Jim Rome.

Damn… Florida’s got the better gameplanner, the superior program, superior athletes and the superior system.

So how in the hell did Meyer’s boys lose last year?

    Huh. I wonder what he said about it last year. Actually, I’m curious if the folks who thought it was fine last year (like certain ESPN announcers) will change their minds after all the hoopla that’s being made about it.

    I sure hope we beat Florida again this year. Is it true they have a week off before us again?

    What that game did was put UGA/UF in place as the top rivalry going in college football.

    FSU/Miami–> UF/Tennessee–> OU/Nebraska–> OU/Texas–> anOSU/Michigan–> UGA/UF

    You don’t get two minute segments for Halloween games during the offseason very often. If we both hold up our end of the bargain during the early season, this will be the biggest non-title/non-bowl game ever.

  6. I can’t comment because everything I want to say is really really mean and contains A LOT of swear words pertaining to Jim Rome, his opinions and Urban Meyer and his hurt feelings.

    Oh all right….

    Jim Rome? What a douche bag! <—-Sorry I have tourettes.

    And re: Urban Meyer, if excessive celebration after a touchdown is his idea of being severely dissed, then he better stock up on Pampers and formula because he is a BIG baby.

    I didn’t need this to hate Rome.. he’s a douche… he’s jumping on Florida’s bandwagon because, apparently, Meyer’s now a clone since he referred to himself in the 3rd person.

    By bringing this up again, ole’ Urban is just giving UGA motivation. Dawg’s take ’em this year just on that alone. The curse is reversed, the skunk’s off.. it’s Georgia’s turn.

  8. People who point on the logical flaws in Rome’s rants miss the point. Rome is a national version of Finebaum: He plays both sides of the issue to get people on both sides talking about him. That’s the objective; making sense isn’t.

    So allowing your QB to get sacked 6 times, allowing Moreno to rush for 188 yards and allowing your secondary to get lit up is a superior game plan? Or was that because of the superior athletes?

    JDawg,
    UF doesn’t have a bye before the WLOCP this year. They have a bye week after LSU then play UK before the dawgs.

    Wow, how do ignorant people like that end up on tv? Yeah they have such a better program since you can’t credit UF with any success prior to the 90’s. Such better system when the coaches at UF throw their head sets when things don’t go their way and coaches at UGA sit down and coach. Everybody bow down to great Jim Rome. I hope he reads this, stay at home and drink some Drano you pointless piece of crap.

    I can’t help but find this funny. Every sports fan in America knows what a moron Rome is and now he is defending urban and the gators. I definitely would not want him backing the Dawgs. This is an omen for the gators. Between May, Corso and Rome picking against us we should win every game. Because everyone knows those 3 have stellar records at picking winners.

    How the Hell did Urban Whining Crybaby and Heisman Trophy QUARTERBACK (uh, hmm running back) Lose 4 of the 5 games they played last season against the Final AP Poll Top 25 ?

    If he had not been injured, Florida would have Won – it goes. We scored 42 points on Florida. 42. I was not aware that was Tim Tebow not injured, that he would have played DEFENSE against us.

    Rome is a big flaming pile of gator dung. He has a history of hating on Coach Richt. Remember that article that came out that talked about Richt recruiting a player and how they played ping pong at Richts home? Flaming Rome had an issue w/that and made fun of Richt for running a clean program. What a dork. I guess when FL jumped on LSU’s logo last year that was fine or the jumping around against Michigan. Like the above post I hope Richt plays this all week prior the WLCP.

    Explain this Jim Rome, how is Florida the better program and team if they were the only SEC team to lose their bowl game this year. Arkansas only lost theirs because McFadden had no reason to play due to his future NFL draft. Florida lost an EMBARRASING game to Big-10 Michigan. Way to represent the SEC.

    Let me make sure I’m getting this straight. Florida’s young defense will be better, but UGA’s offense that started 2 freshman OL, a sophomore OL, and a freshman RB won’t be?

    For all the talk of how young Florida was last year, UGA was just as young. I anticipate that Florida will be young for a while though, as their upperclassmen will either go pro, or get tired of Urban’s act and leave (if he’ll let them out of their scholarship).

    UgaMatt: See now that’s where you lose me. Urban’s “act?” The players all love him! He doesn’t have an “act” any more than Richt does. They both are quality coaches who turn out good players and good citizens. I have to laugh when I see all of our rivals ranting and raving about his “act.” I think the problem with his “act” is that he keeps beating them!

    Regarding your D, I never said you wouldn’t be better–just that our D will be. And our D had more room to improve than yours did!

    UGA has room for improvement on Offense crocodile fan ?

    We scored 42 points on Florida last game. How many do we have to score before we are pretty darn good on Offense ? Go ahead and tell us sir.

    Florida does NOT have a Winning Record over UGA the last 4 years in Jacksonville’s Gator Bowl.
