Quote Of The Day

“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Mike, I have no problem admitting that I want him gone because he is a good leader and adds a lot to UF’s chances in any game. As far as what HE actually did the last two years, well, that’s kind of just it–UF’s defense has had a lot more to do with it than anything else. Timmy’s an above-average player who is a benefactor of a great supporting cast, especially the defense and special teams.
But that never stopped Timmy from taking all the credit…though I failed to hear him taking much credit in his Heisman year for that four-loss team. At least I/we can say this: Timmy’s a winner, but we beat his arse but good one times out of three, anyway. (Don’t go counting the Leak year unless you really have been hanging out in Bristol a little more than you should.)

Alabama was the far better team this time. Tebow had probably his worst game but he was still the SECs best qb. I don’t understand all the hate directed at him. Seems like a quality person in addition to being a great player. And no, I am not a UF fan, not even close.

Because we beat UGA 3 out of 4 while he was at UF, Jim. Amazing how much Dawg vitriol that can cause.

Because he is lame, Jim. And cloying and trite and pompous.

Not a perfect human being (like we’re sold by the Gators and their subsidiary, ESPN).
LikeLike
The other thing is that he takes the credit for all the success, such that it is, of the Florida team. The media would have you believe that every time Florida wins it is because Tebow has somehow “lifted the entire team onto his shoulders and willed it on to victory.” What’s more, he believes that sh!t himself. I am amazed that somebody from his own team hasn’t beaten the crap out of the guy. The truth is Tebow was successful because of the players around him, not the other way around. If he had played at Vandy or Duke nobody in the country would even know his name.

I don’t know. I tend to think Tebow is a once in a generation freak for the sole reason that when you gotta have three yards he gets it, same as H. Walker. Just fundamentally line it up and be stronger than the guy across from you. Neither was completely infallible though.

Except when he doesn’t, like yesterday. When he winds up on the mound to throw his knuckleball to the TE in the end zone and it suddenly becomes apparent, when it is easily picked off right when his team most needs a score, that he is not only mortal but playing out of position.

I think I have figured out why Charlie Strong is grossly underpaid and has not gotten any bites on head coaching jobs, and it has nothing to do with all the racist AD’s across the universe:

When Strong was asked if his agent had spoken to Louisville, he replied: “I don’t have an agent.”

I hesitate to open this can of worms on this thread but since Tenn_Dawg brought it up here it goes. The record UGA has against FLA over the last 20 years has little to do with the players and coaches and everything to do with the Administration. The AD’s office and the President of the University let us get boxed into a bad situation and do not have the guts to take action to straighten things out because of heat they would have to take from a faction of their own fanbase. Auburn used to play Bama in Birmingham every year and got the crap beaten out of themselves regularly. Why? Because it was an away game for Auburn but a home game for Bama. The Auburn team had to travel to Birmingham, stay in a hotel, eat hotel food and play in a stadium that was not their normal place to play. Bama players just got to their buses and drove about an hour the morning of the game. (Does this sound familiar?) When Pat Dye (a winner, whatever else you think about him) showed up at Auburn he insisted the AD put an end to all that, made the series home and home and the Bama people screamed like it was the end of the world. After that the series evened up and some might say Auburn has dominated–all because the playing field got leveled. This situation is exactly where UGA finds itself with FLA. The difference is that we have a large and very vocal group of alumni and supporters who consider the fun fall trip to JAX to be more important than winning the game. They want to stay at Ponte Vedra, play golf with their friends and go to cocktail parties. They say: “We always used to beat them before so why can’t we just do the same as always and beat them now? Just man up, be tough and win the game.” FLA had an inferior program to UGA back in the old days. FLA had not won a single SEC Championship back then. Now the programs have parity and playing FLA as an away game every year gives them a tremendous advantage. Just ask Mark Richt. He’ll tell you the truth. But our President and AD are too beholden to the faction I mentioned earlier to take the action that needs to be taken. Have you ever stopped to think what the UGA football team would have accomplished if the Dawgs had won 17 out of the last 20 games against FLA instead of the other way around? UGA would have been the dominate team in the SEC instead of FLA. UGA would have won several more SEC Championships and at least 1 and possibly as many as 3 National Championships. But no. That did not happen (and probably will not happen) because our current Administration will not take the action necessary to level the playing field. You ask why do we lose to FLA every year? It is not because of inferior players or lack of effort.The answer is, because we do not have the commitment to win.

Mayor, I don’t mean to bother you with a few facts, but Florida comes in the night before and stays in a hotel. In fact, the Florida team stays in a home before every single game, home or away.
Florida fans are delighted that Richt has come out and publicly stated Florida has a built in advantage in Jacksonville. What a boon for Florida, because when the head coach says that, then the players and other5 coaches will believe it.

In that case it should not bother the Gators one bit to play the series home and away, should it? So why are they arguing so hard to keep the game in JAX?

We can call it the World’s Largest INDOOR Cocktail Party for a while.

I didn’t realize they wanted it there so badly. Generally, when the topic comes up, we fight about it internally. I’m sure UF would like to keep it in Jax., but I doubt it would kill them to play it elsewhere, considering they think it’s a W every year anyways.

They were an inferior program then CLT Dawg. But not now. Why would you want to play a team that has won 2 out of the last 3 national championships (going into this year) on the road every year? It’s fundamental, man. It’s hard enough to beat them heads up, why would you give them homefield every year. Look at the stats, not just for UGA or FLA, but for all of football including the pros. Why do you think teams in the NFL bust their asses to get homefield in the playoffs? It’s an advantage that pays off–over time for sure.

It was nice to see the Florida program fall and fall hard. As a friend said to me today the view at the top of an Oak three is breath taken, but the fall is not fun. I would suspect that Myer will take the ND job since Bama handed there ass to them. Bama exposed the FL offense as the gimmic that it is, and the D will be nothing with out Charlie. FL will be lucky that they are the third best in the east.
LikeLike
Sounds great but not likely. Bama’s defense plays at a level superior to every singe team in CFB. This is a combo of great athletes and even better coaches. While UF will slightly come back to erf once Teabag is gone, it won’t be b/c Urban’s spread is “exposed”. A QB that can run hard and throw it when necessary paired w/ play makers on the flanks is difficult to defend at any level below the NFL. The reason it won’t work in the NFL is b/c they hit with so much greater force at that level (see Greg Knapp’s single wing w/ Vick).
The Bama game did expose the difficulty a spread or an option has at generating a big comeback late in the game. b/c Teabag depends on running the ball and is uncomfortable throwing the ball on obvious passing plays, UF was sunk once the 4qtr came and they trailed by that margin.
CUM would be absolutely crazy to leave UF. He is in a warm climate in a geographically small, talent rich state. He also arrived when FSU and the U are rudderless. As FSU and the U improve and w/ the exit of the perfect QB for the Urban offense, UF won’t be as dominant. that doesn’t mean they’ll regress to South Carolina levels (as they were until 1990). Remember that the Zooker won two against Georgia (was he on the sidelines in ’04 or was he packing boxes? Can’t remember if he finished out the season) so its not like UF is going to implode b/c of one player leaving.
