Fake juice

“That wasn’t right. It was a bad deal. It will forever be in the mind of Urban Meyer and in the mind of our football team. We’ll handle it, and it’s going to be a big deal.”

I guess Corch wasn’t kidding about that “forever” part.

Just remember the words of Ryan Stamper, Gators.

UPDATE:  On the other hand

“When they show a clip, I start laughing about it,” said Georgia fifth-year senior fullback Bruce Figgins, who was on the field on the play as a freshman tight end that season.

    2007 wasn’t fake juice. Seemed pretty real to me. Now 2009 – that’s another story…….

    “Even for offensive coordinator Charlie Weis, who is new to the traditional border war, it’s the one thing that stands out in his knowledge of Florida-Georgia.
    “I just remember watching that game a few years ago when the 9,000 guys were partying in the end zone,” he said.”

    Probably because of the buy week at Subway, Charlie* confuses the number of guys partying in the end zone with the number of sandwiches to be packed into his sideline coolers

    It’s not clear to me why FL players and fans can get all twisted up over the endzone dance, call is disrespect, etc, but the GEORGIA folks aren’t allowed to recall Spurrier running up the score in ’95 IN ATHENS or Meyer calling the timeouts at the end of 2008.

    Exactly why are Gator people allowed to claim “disrespect” while GEORGIA and everyone else just has to say “oh well”? Is it because FL considers themselves untouchable? In their minds, are they beyond reproach? Are they beyond embarrassment? Are they beyond mockery?

    F*CK NO they aren’t! So why does nobody Frankie Hammond and the rest of the coward bastards continue to harp on this?

    Hey Frankie, Charlie, Will, Urban, and every single gross-ass gator fan alive, how’s this: GO F*CK YOURSELVES!

      some words from Patrick Garbin, to help illustrate my point:

      In watching all of Dooley’s second-half replacements, I recalled the times Steve Spurrier ran the score up in the very same rivalry whenever given the opportunity. Some examples:

      Late in the game in 1990, with the contest having been settled long before, Spurrier sent his first-team defense back onto the field to prevent Georgia from merely picking up a first down. With a 38-13 lead the following year, All-American quarterback Shane Matthews wasn’t replaced until Florida’s next-to-last offensive series, and even when the starter was finally sidelined, backup Brian Fox passed for a touchdown with less than two minutes to play. In 1998, Spurrier punctuated another blowout Gators victory with a wide receiver reverse for a touchdown with mere seconds remaining. I could go on…

      Now, the Florida faithful says Spurrier had very good reason to pull his classless acts against the Bulldogs. Let me add, however, there’s a few inaccuracies in the Gators’ “Dooley-running-up-the-score-in-’68-is-the-reason-Spurrier-hates-Georgia” story. For one, the “offensive lineman” that kicked the field goal for the game’s final points was actually Peter Rajecki – the Bulldogs’ backup placekicker, who had kicked a PAT earlier and would attempt several more field goals at Georgia from 1968 to 1970. Also, the final field goal resulting with “with less than two minutes left to go” (another version of the story states “with seconds to go”) actually occurred with 5:29 remaining – an eternity.

      Nevertheless, the aforementioned seems to be yet another exaggerated story by a bunch of disgruntled Gators. In Dooley’s defense, unlike Spurrier, he wasn’t much of one for running up the score on the opposition. Take the 1982 pummeling of Florida, for example. Danny Greene saw action at quarterback against the Gators, for God’s sake! And from what I hear, Dooley even had E.T. on the sideline warming up to go in…

          It’s not whining. Really, there has been some stupid stuff done in this series in the last 20 years and the worst of it was not even the dance. Hell if I recall, after the dance, Florida went up 17-14 and then lost. So the dance did not fire up the Gators then.

          But to call 2 times outs in a 30 point win, in the last minute, now that is classless, something GA would and has never done to FU. To attempt to gouge out a player’s eyes while he is on the ground and then only getting suspended for a half, that is classless.

          Granted the GA player dry humping a florida player in the early 2000’s was also classless, but at least a flag was thrown then.

            Yet, in the same breath, some UGA fans will call the times outs a CLASSLESS. Even though doing so was perfectly within the rules.

              Fake juice is when Gator fans claim to still be “offended” by the endzone celebration from years ago and try to use that as a motivator. The fact is that the only thing that Gators find offensive is that the Dawgs kicked their f*cking asses in that game. Unsportsmanlike conduct is SOP for the Gators, so the idea that anything of THAT nature offends them is ridiculous.

              On Saturday the Dawgs will eliminate this particular Gator talking point by giving them a new ass-whipping to whine about.

    How do you really feel JaxDawg? My sentiments exactly. Why do they always say the endzone celebration gave them motivation for future years? The play happened in the first quarter. They had 3 quarters to get revenge that day; but they couldn’t because UGA busted them in the mouth all day. So, Corch had to wait until the following year at the very end of the game to call some timeouts. Now that’s revenge!!

    Oh please, kids, Florida kids that is. Let’s see. Florida stomped the tiger at LSU midfield a few years back. Then there was the Gator Flop against Miami back in John Reaves days. Then there was Corch. Then there was little Stevie.

    It isn’t 1968 that gave Spurrier his chip on the shoulder. It’s 1966, the year Spurrier won the Heisman, God’s gift to college football and all that. In the second half of the Georgia game that year, the Spurrier led Florida offense got zero first downs. Zip. Zilch. Bupkus. Nada. Goose egg. Bagel. George Patton (what a name) and Bill Stanfill absolutely pounded Spurrier into the ground.

    I’m a soft living 55 year old man, and I think any player who professes offense at 2007, after Corch’s time outs and 3 straight wins, is a stupid college boy looking for anything to get fired up. Georgia has its share of boneheads too, but that kid in the article is full of it.

    Besides, it makes me think Florida still has an inferiority complex, even after 3-18.

Kirby Moore. Ahhh, the greatest nonthrowing QB in history. Just put it over the line 5-10yds for receivers when FU stacked the box. Great memories youall are bringing to this old heart.

      The interesting thing about this post is that Florida DOES have an inferiority complex. After 20 years of winning, they still act like the new kid on the block. Is it b/c for 100 years all everyone heard from Florida was “we’re gonna be great this year” and “we’re loaded this year” and “this year is OUR year”, etc, etc. Never backing it up, always earning laughter from Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Auburn, Tennessee, etc. The saying goes “Florida – all the arrogance of Notre Dame with the history of Vanderbilt”.

      For all their winning over the past two decades, they still haven’t learned to win with class and still haven’t gotten over their little brother complex.

          Mike,
          your program is a very good one and it should be. Plenty of in-state athletes, plenty of financial resources, a population twice that of Georgia’s, a fanbase that demands a winner, an administration and community solidly behind creating success for your team (Machen, Foley, Huntley, police, professors, etc. etc) – with all this going for your program, why do your fans and those associated with the school feel the need to gloat and boast and whine and bitch and moan and generally feel as though you are above reproach? You know, other states and programs have these same resources, in fact, some have more in certain respects. To feel that the gators are and will always be “#1” in all areas is arrogant and stupid. Deadly combo. I’d even say FL fans are unconsciously ignorant to this, which is an even more of a deadly combination.

          Oh well, it makes the comeuppance even that more harsh. Here’s to a tough fought but clean game Saturday.
