Cristobal loses on purpose to pay gambling debt?

[gatordad3]

If I were a delusional Cane fan, I'd be screaming for Ken Dorsey to replace Monte Cristo Balls. Then again, there's a chance Dorksey may soon be called to lead an NFL franchise like Tampa Bay or the NY Giants.

Speaking of a monte cristo, I sure miss Bennigans. The monte cristo at Gators Dockside sucks.

Note to self: do not touch playbook if Cristobol is handing it to you

What do you think they were trying to do, finish strong to show they are dominant, get w/in FG ranger to add 3 points, score a TD to make a 10 point win?

Can't do math, can't remember the play clock.

It was incompetence, nothing more.


If you have first down, you can kill an absolute minimum of 120 seconds if you simply kneel 3 times (3 x 40 seconds). If you drag out the kneel a bit, you can push that up a smidge higher. Then you still have 4th down to kill some more time before the change of possession stops the clock. You can run around a bit then throw the ball out of bounds (it's not "down" until the ball hits the turf but you have to avoid a "grounding" call). You can just run around a bit and fall on the ball (clock stops when you go down). You can do a squib kick or a pooch kick (clock stops when the ball is downed). I even remember Shula having his QB run around and give up an intentional safety and then free-kick it.

In the late 70’s the Redskins did something similar against the Cowboys. Nursing a six point lead, on their own 15, on 4th down with 3 seconds left, Joe Theismann ran around the end zone killing the clock. Like a dumbass, instead of just running out of the back of the end zone, Theismann runs around holding the ball up and gets tackled by Randy White. Theismann lost control of the ball, but got it back, so it was unclear if he was already down or even in-bounds, but he was fortunate that his foolishness didn’t cost them the game.
