***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs FSU***

[Sec14Gator]

One of the best T-shirts I ever saw was at that game, "Noles Suck Croc" showing the back of a female Native American and a happy, macho looking gator facing those looking at the shirt. I know the guy was offered at least $60 for it, but I don't know if he ever sold it. As a high school senior, I thought it was hilarious. My mom, however, did not.

I bought a nearly identical shirt at UF in 1994 for my brother. Different saying though: “Use your head, Noles Suck”

I have told/warned both children not to get married on college football season. July is a fine month. Or spring.

Spring is OK as long as it's in a location where I can go Turkey hunting, Summer is ideal!

The Noles are a dumpster fire. The players have quit. The fans are jumping off the ship in droves. I cannot say this with more emphasis:

We HAVE to win this football game.

FSU has had things go their way for many years now, and have taken full advantage with recruiting. This is our opportunity to turn the tables and humiliate them. This is the opportunity to take the damn state back and show recruits that choosing FSU is a ticket for embarrassment. Willie Taggart could be the best thing that ever happened to Florida football IF we take full advantage of it.

However, this game concerns me. It's almost certainly going to be viewed as their championship game. If FSU can win next week (which frankly is doubtful against Boston College), they will need to win to continue their coveted bowl streak. I have my doubts Taggart could actually motivate anyone, but I've seen the Noles get scores of lucky bounces over the last 3 decades and nothing would surprise me.

PLEASE Gators put those slimebags away. A season with a win over UT, LSU, and FSU would be a great opening year for Mullen.

Discuss.

This game has the makings of a real snoozer: The semenholes can''t run the ball and we can't throw it.

This game has the makings of a real snoozer:

Yeah, we'll have a wake for Florida State.

I hope our DL plays like their hair is on fire! I don’t think our DBs can afford to defend their skill players without immediate QB pressure.

 

[MADGator]

I had a memory and then a thought, both rare occurrences anymore.

The memory was of the ‘96 game in Tallacrappee, or actually afterwards, when Booby said they had started the UF game install during the week of the game they played prior to playing the Gators. He said it was the only way they could have won.

The thought was, since the Gators are playing Idaho, is there any chance CDM is already installing the Half Ass U game plan? I mean, this is a must win game. Must.

I got married during the bye week. Insisted on it.

Our 30th anniversary comes around next week. We were married on a bye week in 1988. My wife was in favor of the idea.!

 

[GR8 2B]

My wife is a bigger football fan than me and never would have even considered having it during the season. We did it in June.

How much later was the wedding?

 

[Swamped Gator]

Ox, you told me in the chat box a couple weeks ago during the Mizz game we would not beat FSU. I said we would. What's your current opinion?

 

[Left Coast Gator]

I wish I could give this a thousand dislikes.

No one is worse than Beth Mowins

AMEN! to that! Her voice makes me shudder.

 

[gator1946]

AMEN! to that! Her voice makes me shudder.

So you don't like it when a woman tries to sound like a man and fails miserably? I swear if we were playing for the NATI and she was calling the game I'd shut it off.

 

[t-gator]

They're gonna beat us for what feels like the 15th year in a row

t practices perverse psychology all the time.

 

[BMF]

I'm glad FSU is in a tight game w/ BC this week. We essentially had a feel-good bye week.

 

[ChiefGator]

Yet even with several TOs they appear to be ready to beat BC. Don't assume they won't be ready for us, and ready to fight. It will take a great effort to beat them.

 

[Frozen Gator]

What's worse at the end of the game; a prevent defense or a corner on an island?

 

[KronoGator]

We have no shot, they have been getting ready for us since they fell out of the ACC race.

 

[MJMGator]

I hope they were those purple clown uniforms again.

 

[Bait'n Gator]

We have no shot, they have been getting ready for us since they fell out of the ACC race.

Taggert is god awful, he is the worse game day coach we face this year. They have a huge talent advantage over everyone they play this year including Clemson. If we show up it's a blow out.
