I :wub: Christian Ponder. :cool::cool::cool:

If we had any sort of defense, and a few passes not dropped / penalties not received, this season would be turning out much differently than it is. But we are Florida State and "almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

Did I mention I adore Christian Ponder? :D

Uh Oh!

Looks like Lane Kiffin needs to bite his tongue!

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (Oct. 26, 2009) - Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive has issued a public reprimand to University of Tennessee head football coach Lane Kiffin for his public comments concerning officiating Sunday.

"Coach Kiffin has violated the Southeastern Conference Code of Ethics," Slive said. "SEC Bylaw 10.5.4 clearly states that coaches, players and support personnel shall refrain from all public criticism of officials."
"This is the second reprimand for Coach Kiffin in this calendar year. Coach Kiffin is on notice that for any further violations of SEC policies will subject him to additional penalties including suspension."

Yes, he is sort of a horse's behind.

Now, when do you think Alabama will score their next touchdown? Anybody wanna start a pool?

Or are they thinking they can win the SEC with field goals?

Good question actually. We sucked Saturday on offense no doubt about that! It would be nice to score a touchdown again. However, I will take any win I can get. You never know we might jsut do it with field goals. :biggrin::wave:

Is the Gator Nation happy about yesterday? Heck, yeah! For me the victory was beyond my wildest expectations.

That being said, when I read Dennis Dodd's article on CBSsports.com, I went into a funk. He expressed concern about Tebow being beaten up upon. How many hits can he take post-concussion before he has to be taken out? Gators sans Tebow is pretty scary. That'll be next year for sure, but like Miss Scarlett said, "I can't think about that right now. If I do, I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." But I am thinking about that for this season. Keep praying for Timmy T, Gator fans.

One funny thing that Dodd said was, "Impersonating Valdosta State with new black helmets didn't quite provide the emotional bump Mark Richt was seeking. Combine that with tuxedo-formal matching black pants and going all Halloween on Halloween was, well, scary." :floor:

:roll: Dan Mullen of Mississippi State was reprimanded for criticism of the officials in the game against Florida. That is no different. Fulmer didn't fit in and was made fun of, now we have a coach that fits in with the rest of the coaches, he is not a fat Phil and already is referred to as a horse's behind, after just nine weeks of games. The term horses's behind fits a few other's coaches in the SEC also whose names I won't mention. I'm glad we have a coach with some spunk, and I think his dad Monte is a great defensive coordinator.

I don't want to take the time to find the posts in which I pointed out Kiffin's idiotic statements. He is ... well, you all know it.

Hey Aggie :wave: I haven't paid much attention to many of his comments nor his personality. I just want him to get the Vols program back to where it should be. And I just loved the black jerseys with the orange pants. I thought it looked great. Wish they could wear them more often. I would love to have a UT shirt or jacket that color of black and orange. My son does have one and it looks great.

hey.
i just didn't care for them all too much, they clashed with the white helmets and orange pants, their names weren't on the back and i didn't like that either.
your son should've bought one for you when he bought his.

Have to Agree with Rome

I have to agree with Rome on this, the penalty was pretty lame.







​


Jim Rome / 11-3-2009


Florida Gators? coach Urban Meyer ?suspended? linebacker Brandon Spikes for eye gouging Georgia?s Washaun Ealey. The only thing lamer than that toothless ?suspension? is Urb?s explanation for it: ?we understand the game of football. Some of us have played it. Very emotional things happened in that game in particular that were not good for either side, but the bottom line is we?re Florida and he?s Brandon Spikes and expect certain things.? The ?ol, ?if you haven?t played the game you don?t understand and you shouldn?t be talking about this??card.

Urb, you don?t need to have to played the game to have opinion on this one! Because that has nothing to do with football or the emotion of the sport! That was a dirty play and there?s no place for it in the game. That?s a guy intentionally going into another cat?s facemask to jam him in the eye. You?re not even allowed to do that in MMA! Why not just fish-hook him while you?re down there? And don?t tell me that was in retaliation for Spikes getting poked earlier when his helmet was knocked off. That was inadvertent! What Spikes did to Ealey wasn?t.

And Urb? should have to sit out a game himself for trying to pawn this off as a suspension. A whole half?! Against Vanderbilt?! Way to bring the hammer down! A coach with less principle, would have suspended Spikes for a series or just the opening coin toss, but not Urb. He?s sitting Spikes for a whole half.

Look, if you don?t think he did anything wrong. Or, you?re not willing to sit one of your best players, then condone the eye gouge and just keep moving. Just don?t try to pawn this off as some of sort of discipline, because it?s not. That?s as insulting as the eye gouge itself.

BeachSio2 is a nice guy who likes to mix it up about SEC football. He probably frequents sports forums so he has a thick skin and a playful attitude.

Being able to handle rude, crude comments about your coach or team is necessary in a battlezone thread.

Kurt, I know BeachSio2 personally and hold him dear, as I do you. But neither he, nor you, nor anyone else except an ardent supporter of Florida State University and their athletic department can exactly understand how painful all of this is.

I'll see y'all around.

I guess I don't understand the depths of your pain. Tell us more.

I don't mean to single you out but I think there are quite a few people who freak out as soon as you criticize their team or coach so everyone walks on eggshells a little bit. SEC football is rough but it is also fun so the SEC fans are passionate but also need to take their lumps as well as give them every now and then.

I know!! Change in coaches with more stringent rules so now they don't get as many freebies anymore. I bet NuKeese wishes he would have gone to Florida.... ;-)

On a more serious note, they are idiots, but I think it will come out that there were only two, not three. NuKeese is one of those two.

Oh, come on now, you can't tease us.

Ole Miss has one its best out for the year, Greg Hardy with a broken wrist, we can use some help. Of course I guess I win either way this game, my Alum versus my fav.

PS: 3 arrested for armed robbery, I had already heard that on the local news, thought it was something new. Seems this is a common occurance in the SEC, someone in trouble with the law.

The men reportedly left in a 2010 Prius

:blink:

Is this the new Bonnie and Clyde auto?
