***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs UGA***

He has been MIA.

He was around a few weeks back, but he's not nearly the regular he used to be. I miss him. Solid poster.

Well, all things considered... since they would have been coming from GA, the US military was probably better off without them.

Oh absolutely. No doubt in my mind that they would’ve dropped the ball somewhere along the way in a critical moment and come up 5 miles short of Berlin, only to return home with t-shirts to commemorate their failure and talk of how proud they are of the effort.

Fu#k Georgia!

‘Cause Jawja sucks!

Oh, phuck you back. You were maybe 10 years old. I suffered a whole lot more emotionally.

.

Imagine standing at the fence surrounding the field with hundreds of your fellow Gator fans waiting for the final seconds to tick off so that you could storm the field to celebrate one of the greatest Gator upsets up until that time when to your horror disaster struck.

It literally felt like I had been kicked in the stomach by a mule.

Not sure where he lives, but could’ve been hurricane impacted. Thought he was posting after the LSU win, but maybe it was the week before.

1:35 remaining, 6-1 Florida leading second-ranked Georgia 21-20 after a Gator punt downed on the Dwags' eight yard line.

I can tell you what I was thinking as I sat in a SE Gainesville living room watching with a roommate. I was thinking here comes one of the great upsets or my lifetime, IT'S GREAT TO BE A PHUCKING FLORIDA GATOR.

What happened next left both of us with our jaws on the floor. I literally felt sick.

On a positive note, they have not won a Natty since then...

 

[UFHealthGator]

If we come out as sloppy and flat as we were until the sideline incident vs Vandy UGA will put this game out of reach quickly.

Dan better have that offense ready to light it up because I think UGA is going to spring lots of big plays on Grantham and the boys. They'll likely throw Fields at us A LOT more than they have in previous games.

We have to play our best game of the year so far to overcome the matchups they're gonna come at us with.

This is the SEC race for both teams. Gonna be wild.

No doubt. If we lose this game, I doubt it would be from lack of effort. These guys must have seen the massive turnaround, and now that they have competent coaching, I hope they are angry at the blowout loss last year.

Karma, bytch! Get some Dwags!

Looks like the executive decision has been made and we’ll be going to the game. I know @BNAG8R is as well. Anyone else?

Dammit. I was off that weekend and had tickets to the game, but a coworker had an emergency C-section six weeks before her due date and now I’m working. Thankfully, mama and baby are doing well.

I still can’t deny that missing the game is disappointing though.

Given that it's Florida/Georgia, the least - the very least - she can do in return is cover for you for that Friday and weekend.

Just move here. The week before THE Game is pure hell. Besides the fact that every time I call it the Florida-Georgia game I get corrected and told it's the other way around, I cannot count the number of times on local sports broadcasts I am forced to watch that damned play. It is for this game day that (since 2008) I wear my NC football polo with the three NC years on them, as if to challenge the UGA fans here to tell me what their team has done for them lately, or, in the past 38 years (the beat goes on). It's all they have to hang their hat on. One busted coverage.

Not only that, all you hear here is "Herschel this, Herschel that." When I bring up his illustrious NFL career, vs Emmitt's, they just don't know what to say.

As several sportswriters have written, the Puppies still have an outside chance at getting into the CFP if they win out (including beating the Tide in the SECCG). But they can't with two losses. It would make me incredibly happy to knock them off their damned high horse and have our Gators deny them that chance. And in doing so, make them wait another year since 1980, filling them with an incredible amount of bile, bitterness, and angst (as if they don't have enough angst already from losing to LSU)

Our boys went and fought and died when called, barely fielded a team in 1942 and didn't field one in 1943.

Meanwhile, 1 of the 2 nattys that UGA claims and still brags about to this day was in 1942, won literally on the lives of their opponents thanks to draft deferments.

Never ever forget this fact Gator fans, and remind those UGA sons of *****es about it whenever possible...

Florida–Georgia football rivalry - Wikipedia


1942: 75 and oh![edit]
Having lost most upper-class players to service in World War II, the 1942 Florida Gators brought an inexperienced 3-4 squad into Jacksonville for the 1942 contest with Georgia.[9][10][32] The Bulldogs, on the other hand, still had many veteran players thanks to the draft deferments of the players who were enrolled in the University of Georgia's ROTC program, and brought a 7-0 record and No. 1 ranking to Jacksonville.[32]

Georgia halfback Charley Trippi and Heisman Trophy-winning back Frank Sinkwich combined to score seven touchdowns as Georgia crushed Florida 75-0, the largest margin in series history.[9][10][33] The Bulldogs finished the regular season 10–1, won the Southeastern Conference championship, defeated the UCLA Bruins 9-0 in the Rose Bowl, and were named national champions by multiple polls and ratings services.[34][35] Meanwhile, the depleted Gators[36] did not win another game during the 1942 season, and with even more players joining the war effort afterward, would not field a team at all in 1943.[9][10][37]

SOS wasn't alive then, but he knew. He never forgot. Every chance he had, he would rub it in their face. We all have our own opinion of Urban since he left us, since his situation this year at tOSU. But know this . . . he knew too. Why do you think he called those TOs in 2008? (I could watch the replay of that 08 game over and over and it would never get stale) Why do you think he scored so much again in 2009? Why do you think that 2010 OT win (I WAS there) was so important to him?

Dan knows too. He will have the boys ready.

If we can run against them to open up the quick passes, I like our chances. I don't think they're that good but obviously they don't have to be - they just have to be better than us in two weeks. Will be an interesting game. Absolutely no room for antics like we saw from Vosean.

Slightly concerned by the lack of pressure we saw for most of the game against Vandy. We've got to rattle Fromm early and force him into some mistakes.

How about posting a pic of that shirt?

Oh man, don’t i wish. The baby spent two weeks in NICU and just came home so she’s just a couple of weeks into maternity leave now.

Sounds like she ought to be able to swing it!
