Thanks cover , he gets canned next season after we go sub 500 again
I''ll stick with my Music Man analogy...Durty, only a medieval midwife or a degenerate such as myself would use “a coat hanger abortion of a game” as a descriptor! You are hereby awarded a “c2 Pulitzer” for this insight! Kudos my man! This was a high point!
The spitting was not acceptable but at the very least I could understand the frustration.
This is unacceptable. Evidence that even the "behind the scenes foundation" is a lie. Billy has no control and all that crap about character was exposed last night.
This. I was waiting for that one turnover to staunch the bleeding last night. Never came. Teams don't seem to make big mistakes against us and we don't create them7 total takeaways all season. Even a mediocre Gator defense should be averaging over 1 per game, and we have 7 total for the entire year. If you're wondering how bad that is, there is only one team in the entire 133 team FBS that has fewer takeaways. Probably the most unbelievably bad stat from another unbelievably bad year.
The exception to grounding to avoid a sack (out of the tackle box, past the line of scrimmage) only applies to the player that takes the snap and only as long as he maintains constant possession of the ball until the throw away.Sidebar/question, and this one did have an impact on the game. As I watched the flea flicker play and the subsequent intentional grounding penalty unfold, my thought was intentional grounding didn’t apply & should not have been called. Once the ball leaves the QB’s hands and is handed or tossed to the first ball carrier (the WR that was running in the backfield), anything goes and the ball can be carried, pitched, thrown at will, and if it happens to end back in the QB’s hands, he’s free to heave it as he sees fit. I’m pretty sure I’m correct on this. It doesn’t excuse Billy’s stupidity in calling this play but I am curious about whether the penalty should have applied.
Anybody know how the rule reads?

I can't agree with "can only be referred to as a coat hanger abortion of a game and plan by simple bill..."That's about as positive a spin on what can only be referred to as a coat hanger abortion of a game and plan by simple bill and his ridiculous band of idiots.
