A Saturday off...

Nice to watch games with no real vested interest yesterday. Boy oh boy though...do the refs ever love them some Gators. The interception-turned-show-off-turned-fumble by the Gators. What a joke. Snapshots from two angles show clearly that the ball came out before it crossed the goal line. Overturned? Are you kidding? That's a Florida Gator right there! No celebration penalty! Video evidence? Not on my monitor. Sure...your double angle proof shown on national TV might say no touchdown...but that's a Florida Gator, dude! Touchdown!

Also found it curious that the blocked kick by Alabama was still a live ball for a good 3 seconds while the team ran off the field taking off helmets and celebrating. I sure would have loved to see a level headed Tennessee player pick that ball up and run with it. I also would have loved to see the play reviewed. I think you could argue: A) the ball was live as the Bama player took his helmet off. B) it's an excessive celebration penalty and Tennessee gets 15 yards and a rekick.

I think it would be a disservice to the game...but that's the rule and they've been enforcing it...why not now? Rest assured, if that was someone blocking a Gator kick...flags would fly from 3 directions. Just sayin..

But this is a place to talk Bulldogs. We've still got a shot to ruin Florida's day and a good shot to spoil Georgia Tech's little run. More on that later.

I leave you with a good mental picture I have for next Saturday...visualize Rennie Curran's facemask in Riley Cooper's chest as he drills him over the middle...the ball pops up to Rambo who sprints 45 yards the other way. Hell..I'd be happy with just the Curran drilling Cooper part.

  1. a Curran crack on Cooper would be lovely, indeed, but a blindside pop to Tebow's back would be just what we need.

    a few picks would be nice too.

    And maybe 5-6 sacks.
