Personally, I’m glad the game mattered enough for Corch to respond to Georgia fans in that classy way afterwards.
Can we drop the crap about how grown men leading students are supposed to act now?

“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

Classy coaches don’t call two timeouts just to rub in a big rout either. Meyer is a d__k.

Yeah, but that (calling the late timeouts) was a dick move because it was calculated. His chomping at Dawg fans Saturday night was spur of the moment. I don’t have a problem at all with that – like I said, I’m glad it mattered to him that much.

Meyer owes all UGA fans an apology, particularly the ones to whom this was directed. I can only imagine the grief this gesture caused. Sort of like the choke gesture by CTG caused. Each caused massive emotional trauma. Did Barnhart write a column about Meyer? Just askin’.

Was the dance a dick move? At least the time out was not penalized. The dance was not one, but tow unsportsmanlike penalties

Fair question. Answer depends on whether you think Richt was lying about his motives. If you believe as he said that he was simply trying to motivate his team, no. If you think he was really trying to show up Florida, then yes, it was.
The thing is, we know exactly why Meyer called the time outs when he did.
LikeLike
Yes we do. He did it so his fans could continue to enjoy the moment. How do I know this? He said so. I was at that game and I certainly apprecieated the gesture
He certainly did not do it to annoy UGA fans. There were none left in the stands at the time.
BTW, as far as Richt and the dance, TV cameras show him smiling and clapping as his team is dancing.
LikeLike
There was at least one Georgia fan still there. Unless I was imagining it.
If you don’t think it was meant as a shot against Richt and the Georgia team, so be it. I guess all that talk from Meyer over the summer about how the Celebration was a big deal to him was bullshit, hunh.
As for Richt’s smiling and clapping, how does that settle the matter for you? He couldn’t have been happy about seeing his team get motivated?
LikeLike
Before we get too deep into this, let me say the dance did not bother me, the time-outs did not bother me, the choke did not bother me and the chomp did not bother me. All are just expressions of how deep the hatred in the rivalry goes. Which in turn makes it the best rivalry in all of college football. People acting with class in this rivalry is like Clinton remaining faithful to his wife. It just ain’t going to happen.
Now on to your question about Richt and the dance; the reason I mention Richt smiling and clapping is that when questioned, he had originally said he did not order his whole team to do that dance, only the offensive players that scored the TD. If that was the case, then instead of smiling and clapping, he would have tried to get them off the field. No big deal, but I think he originally lied about it. Yes, I think in part he did want to motivate his team. But it was a dick move on his part. And the officials agreed. They thought the players acted in an unsportsmanlike manner. And penalized them not once but twice for doing it. So let’s reflect on that term, “unsportsmanlike” If someone is unsportsmanlike, then is not that another word for classless?
When Urban Meyer called those two time-outs, he was not penalized. Doing so was within the rules. So call it a dick move all you want. But please spare us the sanctimony of calling THAT a dick move and then defending the dance.
Finally, there ain’t nobody that will act with class in this rivalry. Thanks goodness because if that happened, it would not be the rivalry that it is.

Nor does any of it bother me.
If you want to characterize the decision by whether it draws a flag on the field, fine. I guess that means A.J. Green was a dick in last year’s LSU’s game.

That was just a bad call against AJ.
And getting a deserved unsportsmanlike penalty for something is not the only definition of “dick move.”
But to suggest that an act that DOES get that penalty is NOT one is stupid.

Mike, come off of it. Urban Meyer lied in the press about why he called those timeouts, and I know you’re too smart to fall for it. He didn’t do it so fans could enjoy it. He wanted to rub it in Mark Richt’s face. There were Georgia fans still there, I was one of them, but he didn’t do it to rub it in to Georgia fans. He wanted to rub it in Mark Richt’s face and Georgia’s face. Don’t give me this “I know because Urban said so” BS either. You know that Urban Meyer lies when it is convenient for him. Just ask the kid who was told Tim Tebow was being signed to play tight end.

he called the time outs so UF fans could enjoy the victory a little longer in the stadium just as CMR wanted the UGA fans to enjoy the TD with the “Dance” (if thats what you call dancing).

Wow. I may have complimented you too soon yesterday. Look…I know you see the world through orange and blue tinted glasses (just as mine occasionally have one red lens and one black lens). That is the nature of being a fan.
However, you can’t seriously believe those timeouts weren’t aimed squarely as a response to the celebration. You just can’t. Your previous comments have painted you as being a bit savvier than that. If I was a Florida fan, I’d be amused by it…you know, because it was a response to the celebration…and because the celebration would’ve have irked me.

…and you checked with Nielson / Arbitron, etc. to confirm no Dawg fans were still watching on TV. Wow…you’re thorough!

I am not saying the time-outs were not a response to the celebration.

Well…you did say that he didn’t do it to annoy Georgia fans, but merely to allow the Florida fans to enjoy the moment…you know, because he said so (snicker).
From that statement, I made the logical leap that you thought he called those timeouts because he’s such a swell guy, and he wanted to reward Florida…not because the celebration was in any way, shape, or form “a big deal in the mind or Urban Meyer”…you know, because he said so (double snicker).
If my assumption was in error, please forgive me.

Boys of Old Fla will interpret this as “Urban Meyer was making one of the kindest gestures I can remember a coach making.” i.e., shrinking the head of a law enforcement officer and/or rent-a-cop while departing the Gator Bowl while hearing warm congratulations from Georgia fans at the same time.

Very well said, and it brings out the worst in both fanbases, teams, etc.
Good. How’s this for bitter. F*ck Florida. F em all to hell. If anyone else isn’t tired of seeing that goddamn Gator chomp then f*ck you too. And if there is a GA fan alive that isn’t apoplectic over losing to FL then have your f*cking nuts removed b/c you don’t need them.
The irony of it all is that the roles are completely reversed from what they were pre-1990. Florida couldn’t get a break to save their lives back then. So guess what – the worm will eventually turn. It may/will probably take another coach to do it for us, but it will turn. We aren’t that unlucky and they aren’t that lucky.
But you’re mistaken in one aspect – this IS a rivalry. The hate and vitriol is bordering on that seen at the iron bowl. And it wouldn’t bother me a bit to see McGarity and the coaching staff move off dead center and start hating them as much as us fans do.

as for another coach, please see below. I’ve never seen someone do so much with so little. Imagine what he cold do in Athens. Like his attitude and intensity.

Gator fans have a right to be pissed about Grantham’s gesture. Choking someone is a very violent act that may or may not result in death. But Dawg fans should hush about Meyer’s chomping because being eaten alive by an alligator is probably the most pleasant way to die.

Let me be clear…I don’t think what Grantham did was a real threat to anyone. But what he did should be unacceptable for a coach on the sidelines during a game.
Had Grantham yelled at a ref and then made gestures about being blind something would have been done, if not during the game than certainly by the Conference afterwards. This should be handled in the same manner.

I’m apparently in the minority here. I don’t have any problem at all with the celebration, the timeouts, the choke sign, or the Gator chomp. Frankly, I think college football could use more of this stuff. It’s all harmless, and it builds rivalry, which is what I love most about sports.
I grew up in Michigan. Had family play for the Wolverines. A hatred for Ohio State runs deep in my blood. And yet, I’ve always loved the Woody Hayes “Because I couldn’t go for 3!” story. It’s stuff like that that makes college football great to me.
The idea is not to whine about the unnecessary timeouts. The idea is to show up next year, beat them, and rub their faces in it. This is why I have no problem with the timeouts. It was Florida’s response to the celebration. Fine. By the rules of rivalry, they were doing exactly what they were supposed to do.
Urban Meyer is clearly a classless douche. But because of stuff like the Chris Rainey situation. Not the timeouts.
I think “sportsmanship” is getting to be a lot like “political correctness”: a decent idea that’s being taken way, way too far.

Amen. When Urban called his timeouts, yeah, it pissed me off. But now that I look back at it, I think of it as a compliment.
