A jorts wearer unleashes his sense of outrage.
CP (SH)
Dash, How in the world does [Todd] Gurley not get tossed for throwing a punch right in front of two officials on Saturday? Not saying my Gators would have won anyway, but there were some ridiculous calls, and we got Gurley throwing left hooks and not even getting flagged. Is this something the league will review?Edward Aschoff (12:06 PM)
Both were pretty blatant, and I’m surprised he didn’t even get flagged for them. Pretty bad. The league can still review the film and take action afterward. Gurley lost his cool. Can’t do that.
How can that be? Those Gator defenders were just minding their own business when Todd goes all Hulk on them. The SEC office can’t let that kind of unprovoked behavior go… wait, what?
Oh. Uh, never mind.
Stay classy, Gator fans. And kudos to the refs for exercising some judgment under touchy circumstances.

Except that one of those “pretty blatant” punches (the one at the end of the game, IIRC) was shown on replay to be merely a shove to the face. It might possibly be that the TV camera angles and the view from the stands didn’t afford the same view that the refs had. I really doubt they would have allowed punches being thrown without flagging for it.

A few thought here. First, what do you expect from a couple of gators giving each other conciliatory back massages? Also, did anyone notice that the guy who gouged Gurley was then named the CBS Scholar Athlete of the Week? (At least I think that’s right; unless there are two guys who were #6 for the Gators.)
And if anyone should have been tossed, it was the guy who took at swing at Floyd early on. I love how Floyd said just enough to provoke him, and then walked away laughing after he got hit.

Both teams were chippy. Both teams did some dirty things. And this is troubling to me as a Gator fan. If the trend continues, it may cost Muschamp his job. The one thing he has over Zook is he hasn’t gotten into a fight on frat row. The lack of discipline during the game, and his lack of discipline engaging with a fan walking off the field is disturbing.
But a punch is a punch, and the rules don’t state that you don’t get ejected if they started it. He should have been ejected. As should a couple of Florida players had what they done been seen.

It wouldn’t surprise me if the refs felt like there were already enough starters who weren’t playing.

Spurrier and Meyer could’ve gone all Dexter on opponents and still kept their jobs. If Muschamp gets tossed out on his ear, player chippiness isn’t going to have a damn thing to do with it. W-L is the only thing that will matter. Everything else is just window dressing.

This was clearly a game where the refs, had they been doing their jobs, should have called both coaches and the captains out to midfield and said “from here on out every unsportsmanlike conduct call will result in an ejection. Get your guys under control or we’re tossing them.” It was just plain dangerous out there and as a fan it was easy to predict when the blowups were coming. And we’re not even out on the field. They let it get way too out of hand.

#1 on my hate parade going back to childhood has been the War Tiggers, based largely on the fact that they’re cheaters and the lousy, often thuggish behavior and classless remarks by their players and fans. Their on field behavior hasn’t improved all that much, but their fans have admittedly become (mostly) civilized. The Gators on the other hand have been competing vigorously for the top of my personal hate parade, and their clearly provocative behavior in this game (the Gurley baiting started with the first tackle–check it out) and the asinine remarks and behavior of their fans is leading me to conclude that they have managed to combine the worst aspects of the Barners (see above), the NATS (clueless, irritating whining or preening and no idea of how to win or lose with class) and even the damn Vols (I love the coach, I hate the coach, let’s park a moving van in his driveway, throw rocks through his window, flip him off and cuss him out, why oh why aren’t we #1 all the time?, RAWLPH!). They really are the worst, aren’t they? Well, screw ’em. The pendulum has swung, the worm has turned and it’s another era of Dawg Domination that will hopefully stretch Gator hand wringing angst well into my dotage.

FU is the dirtiest, thug program in all of CFB (except for 2010 when AU temporarily dethroned them with Fairy and Company) haven replaced The U teams from the 80s. It isn’t just against Georgia, but they seem to reach a new level in Jacksonville. It doesn’t help that Boom, Spurrier, and Urban have coached the vast majority of those years, it starts at the top. Stronger discipline regarding retaliation is one of the few areas I disagree with Mark Richt’s philosophy of coaching.
While the FU players and coaches are the primary culprits, it is time for the SEC office to intervene with strong letters to all schools and instructions to the officials. They can start with handling the inflammatory chop as an automatic penalty, but end with eye gouging as a season ender. That specific attack is far beyond a punch, which is of no consequence to a player wearing equipment, just dumb for the one swinging a bare hand. The Spikes mugging of Moreno was allowed, and couldn’t have been missed by officials, hard for the SEC to complain when they allow that type action, or what Fairy did several times at Auburn. They have to take responsibility.
The FU player who was injured last year was the catalyst for Saturday’s action, he entered the game with intent to start trouble. It happened on the first play and continued from there. There is no way the FU staff could not have known about his attitude in the 2 weeks leading up to the game. I hate to see our players respond to the normal trash behavior of taunting and bumping, much cooler to just leave and smile while the penalty gets marked off against the other team. I really liked the screen pics leading into the 4th Qtr which showed FU players jumping around dancing and prancing as individuals while UGA was gathered as a team around Mark Richt as he addressed them. It is this type of calmness about Richt in crucial times that gives me the greatest confidence.

I should add, Jimbo had better be proactive on the Gay Turds’ intent to play dirty to get better players ejected before he goes to Gainesville.

Not sure which league’s refs will be used, hopefully not Slive;s neutered group.

The Florida fanbase deserves the gold medal for mental gymnastics. The chippiness and dirty play in this game has never bothered them before…as long as they were winning (see: Spikes, Brandon). All this feigned outrage over Gurley is just to make themselves feel better about losing by claiming a moral victory. Everybody knows UGA is a different team without #3. The Florida faithful reason that without Gurley in the game they would have won, so they fabricated a controversy that he should have been ejected so they can still feel superior to us even though they’re on a 3 game losing streak. I wish the Gators many, many more moral victories in the coming years.
