FSU brings 5,000 tubas to every away game...allowing each player to take the lead for the song at least one time. With Tennessee it's Rocy Top...non stop Rocky Top.
Datline: Knoxville Tennessee, Neyland Stadium
Home of the University of Tennessee Volunteers. The stadium seats well over 100,000 and has it's own navy.
Tonight it will be the scene of a crime as the Florida Gators rob Tennessee of all hope for a meaningful season.
Looks like they'll need to be more adjustments this weekend.
Stop Cryin' and punt the ball.
HOW 'BOUT THEM GATORS!!!!!!
Untouched...Untouchable!
Gators 7 - Vols 0
I am likely to have more rushing yards than Tennessee.
IDIOT Umpire. I guess it's not enough to screw up the game with awful calls...now they want to get in on the action.
D&*^% IT!
Same fat a$$ that blocked the last Gator pass...now makes an atrocious pass interferance call.
Gators 7 - Vols 7. You still haven't rushed for positive yardage Vols.
BULL -----!
Could that play have developed any more slowly?
Darth Vader wears Alabama underoos. Alabama 58 - Arkansas...still trying to find their way to the stadium.
:grindingteeth:
Cannin' some heat.
Keep 'em comin' morons.
B.S. penalty but I'm having a hard time giving a damn right now.
This is how it's done Florida.
This is how the Gators used to do it....when they were truly representative of actual Floridians. Like my family and my ancestors who fought lincoln and his thugs while they were burning Oxford and Tuscaloosa.
Touchdown Gators...touchdown Burton! 80 yards and a stiff arm.
Gators 20 - Vols 20
Interception by Elam. Time to put the hammer down.
Gillislee for about 50...he's a man.
Even with dampened spirits....WHAT A FREAKING CATCH!!!
Gators 27 - Vols 20
We love it when Tennessee recievers try to run before catching the ball.
We also love it when they cut their routes short of first down yardage.
Put this thing out of reach Gators.
They'd have been better off with a monkey pointing at the play book than they were with that call.
I ask again...has anybody seen the good Doctor tonight.
FRANKIE HAMMOND CLOWNS!!! FRANK-EE HAMMOND!
Gators up two touchdowns now...I'm not hearing Rocky Top for the first time all night.
Gators 34 - Vols 20
HOW BOUT THEM GATORS!!!!!! 3-0
Gators 37 - Vols 20...that's 8 in a row.
One last note...I stepped out, barefoot, for a smoke right after the game and my legs were ravaged by misquitos....including on the top of my right foot and right ankle. Pure misery...prolly got the West Nile again.
It's a wrap...
Sorry about the Casio Opera soundtrack...just turn it down.
Allie says GOOOO GATORS!!
ReplyDeleteGooooo Gators!!!
ReplyDeleteAny Briton trying to watch this game for the last 10 minutes would have blown a gasket...6 plays, 3 penalties, a waved penalty, then a challenge. There was maybe 40 seconds of actual football.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry - this particular Briton wouldn't have understood what the hell was going on anyway!
DeleteI think even you would have realized something had gone wacky. It ended up being close to 30 minutes of referees standing around looking at one another.
DeleteBecause of downs...because play stops with a tackle and the teams form up across a line of scrimmage for each play...there are all sorts of procedural penalties that can occur. The offensive line can't move at all until the ball's snapped and the defense can't cross the line of scrimmage before the ball's snapped.*
One of those two things kept happening. Then there were all these reviews to see if there had been a turnover. It was excrutiating.
*This is what accounts for the peculiar pace of crowd noise in football. The fans of the defense do everything they can to keep the offense from hearing the snap count in hopes of causeing confusion and a penalty. The fans of the offense remain silent. So, if the home team is on defense...there's an outrageous racket until the ball's snapped...when everything goes silent until the plays over and there's another eruption or silence depending on the outcome of the play.
this Scot would have expired e.f.
DeleteYx
Now another challenge. 'Fraid the Gators are gonna lose this one.
ReplyDeleteTennessee touchdown ends the sloppiest series of football I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteGators 7 - Vols 14.
I'm having to comment here as Martha has the laptop and I can't figure out the editing on the pad.
Yikes!
ReplyDeleteA'right A'right
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world was going through his tiny mind?
ReplyDeleteGreat catch Roberson...out of bounds. Excellent coverage though.
ReplyDeleteAnother great play from Roberson.
Hahahahahahaha...sit on it Vols.
ReplyDeleteGators are working 'em silly now.
What a play.
ReplyDeleteGillisslee is a beast.
ReplyDeleteOne yard to go.
3rd and Goal.
ReplyDeleteArghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!
Trying to run up the middle twice. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteGators 10 - Vols 14
ReplyDeleteHalftime.
Has anybody seen Allan?
What was that?
ReplyDeleteKeep your militant tyrants out of my football...the connection of Florida to that murderous dictator Lincoln is tenuous at best.
Disgusting.
That was just disturbing. Unless the boy turns out tone a football player I don't want him anywhere near the university of Florida.
ReplyDeletebest play of the game: bray fades back against a stellar gator rush, looks to his left and beams the rock at his target on a sideline route...oops, the receiver didn't stop and went long, as the ball sails out-of-bounds and into the hands - of HEAD COACH DEREK DOOLEY! he swiped that ball out of the air like nobody's business. and then slammed it down behind him. perhaps in frustration? oh yes. that was beautiful.
ReplyDeletecan't believe we found an offense. driskell looked like a marginally decent QB for half the day. burton moves like the wind. gillislee is a beast. dare my confidence rise to acceptable expectations for this year?!?!
excellent commentary, as usual, e.f. i was watching the game away from my PC, so i had to enjoy your analysis the morning after. good show!
in other news, ole miss hangs 31 on the 'horns!!! [yep, they also gave up 66, but that's irrelevant.]
Excellent. Two biggest aggitators for more football coverage on the blog...both notorious lurkers...can't be bothered at game time.
DeleteI'm gonna stop takin' y'alls calls.
&%$# lincoln...Go Gators!
No one wants to talk about the second best team in Florida. Lets talk about more important things like civil rights being violated in New York, fat people are pissed not to be able to buy their big gulp. What is next police busting down my door because I was caught leaning back in my chair on two legs. You now some boy was hurt doing that. So lets make a new law.
ReplyDeleteOnly the first sentence was about Florida State.
DeleteAs long as them people up there allow that stuff to go on....they'll get what they deserve.
Spoken like a true sports fan :)
ReplyDeleteHorse...you know we all have a soft spot for Australian Rules Football. In the early days of ESPN they used to replay games all the time. They were desperate to fill airtime. Then after we got into it...they took it away.
DeleteI love reading your blog posts. There's nothing else like it out there. But I demand a Bartlam bio. Who are you, what do you do etc.
ReplyDeleteI just know - KNOW mind, for definite - that your commentary is by far THE most activity that happened during that game... :D
ReplyDeleteNo ma'am...there was the stretch described above. One reporter called it bizarre but, after that it was on. The Gators got down like Cooter Brown.
