“Nobody on the team felt we were thugs.”

Shit, no wonder Corch bailed out at Gainesville.

And this is just precious:

Fortunately for many players, Gainesville lawyer Huntley Johnson helped them successfully navigate the legal system. They knew to go to Johnson. One player remembers walking into Johnson’s office for counsel and seeing a teammate who was already there.

Talk about your bonding exercise.  (See what I did there?)

We may need to let up on Agent Muschamp a little.

    “That wasn’t right. It was a bad deal. And it will forever be in the mind of Irwin Meyers and in the mind of our football team … so we’ll handle it. And it’s going to be a big deal.” Irwin then takes timeout

    My favorite is when UF fans pretend to be really upset with what Urban did to their program while wearing their National Championship commemorative t-shirt and reminding me how many of them they’ve won.

    • Me too. I specifically asked them if they wanted to throw out their championship now that they hate Meyer so much. They try to figure out a way to hate what Meyer did to them but hold on to what Meyer achieved for them. Its funny seeing how they trip all over themselves trying to reason that Meyer wasn’t the real architect of the Championship. They’ll take the glory and want to flush the consequences.

    So this is the man they hired to clean up after Jim Tressel at Ohio State? How long until he defiles that program?

    “How long until he defiles that program?”

    Good question. The obvious tension is that while Irving Myers wins big, he’s also known to be a wee bit corrosive. Even though the winning masks lots of defilement, he’ll likely be fine until the cycle of destruction begins anew. Then he’ll fall over and start biting the carpet, take a leave of absence, and wait on his next gig. Might it be:

    The NFL?
    USC (east or west)?
    Private business (Chairman of say, Apple)?
    Chairman of World Wrestling Entertainment?

    This is the most glorious article I’ve read in a long time and confirms so much of what was suspected at the time. We’re not done hearing stories about Urban’s time at Florida. One of these days Timmy and Harvin and Spikes are going to have to talk about it too.

      Didn’t you notice how much was left out about the run-ins of several players, including only about half of what we know about Hernadez’s exploits that doesn’t even touch what we don’t know?

    Isn’t it precious that ESPN employee Tim Tebow couldn’t find the time to comment for an ESPN story? There are so many angles for mockery, that I don’t know where to start.

    There has to be an obvious (and probably growing) tension among THE OSU suits that while Irving Myers has proven he can deliver victories, he also has proven to be corrosive. At some point the odds are that the defilement will become a public embarrassment for THE blah blah blah. Irving will then fall over and start biting the carpet, take a leave of absence, and wait for his next gig. Might it be:
    The NFL? The CFL? The USFL . . . oh wait.
    USC (east or west)?
    CEO of Kirk Herbstreit Enterprises?

    Irvin Meyers is made of Teflon. Nothing sticks to him. Personally, I’m sick of hearing about FU. F*ck FU, with or without Irvin.

  13. Surely a guy that only recruits the top 1% of the top 1% wouldn’t have guys standing in line at a criminal defense attorney’s office. I mean the top 1% don’t even commit crimes and the top 1% of that are super heroes that actively prevent crimes. How the hell could this happen under a great leader like Corch!? I am dumbfounded.

    Jim McElwain’s anger may have a deeper cause than we previously thought. Boom may not be a bent as Corch, but he isn’t exactly who I’d want if my program needed a calming influence.

      How else would you call out a player for thuggish behavior that hurt his team with such a childish gangsta act? Different people have different takes on such behavior. Richt even let a D coach do it with impunity (choke, slash, what’s the dif?) 🙂

          Humorous read – and funny also. Propose we name a working breed “Jenkins” for his personification of “Let the big Dawg eat”.

          Kennel Club description: The Jenkins Dawg is trained to attack relentlessly and to consume as many QBs as is possible in an hour. Goes undetected between hedges until he appears somewhere in the opposing back forty where his warm breath on QB necks spells doom. Best to stand your ground and protect yourself; won’t stop you from being “Dawg Food”, but it’s better than being taken down from behind with a facemask in between your shoulder blades and arms that flail at your possession of the ball he wants to play with.

          Affable to people with cameras, but with a mercuric temperament toward those who want to keep the ball from him. Not to be provoked by silly zebras who take his friend and companion from his side. He is Zo ferocious as to have the opponent’s O-line part to appease him and sacrifice one of their group instead of losing their entire group of squatters in his territory. This is one fucking mean Dawg.

    Todd Gurley did many, many, many awesome things at Georgia. One unheralded one is from 2013, when yet another Florida player tried to go for the eyes through the facemask. Todd was so livid, it took a state trooper holding him back from unleashing an assembly line of Stone Cold Stunners on the Florida knuckleheads around him.

    Todd, as was America, was tired of Florida’s crap.
