It's Time to: GET OVER IT !
It's time to get over it.
Urban Meyer has issued a gag order on the play. But as most of us know, it's impossible to shut up a Florida Gator.
It has gotten so bad that Terrance Moore of the AJC had the hair-brained idea that the celebration of last season was the main reason the Dawgs had so many penalties this season. I'm not making that up.
So as we head to Jacksonville this weekend, we will attempt to put the scene of last year behind us and forge ahead.
And to do this we must remember what REALLY happened last year in Jacksonville. Tim Tebow was sacked over and over again. Knowshon Moreno ran over the Gator's defense repeatedly. The fact is the Dawgs kicked Flordia all over the field. Something that is hard to swallow in Gainesville.
Earlier this week, in trying to rationalize the loss to UGA, Florida coach Urban Meyer said:
"We were very soft, a very selfish outfit a year ago, and we didn't protect the quarterback and we dropped the ball twice. That's how we lost that game."
No, how they lost the game was they played a better team.
The fact that the Dawgs won 42-30 and the fact that the "Gator Stomp" celebration is all anyone is talking about will make for quite an atmosphere for Jacksonville on Saturday. Gator fans will be stoked, and they should be.
I have seen many great battles between the two teams over the past years, but this one has more on the line than the others. The winner will keep their SEC East title hopes alive as well as their hopes for a birth in the BCS Title game.
The loser will be knocked out of a chance to go to the Georgia Dome in December. And if it's Florida. look for the excuses to begin again. It's one of the things that makes the rivarly great, and one of the things that makes it so easy to be a Gator Hater.
What others are saying
- Hey, Dog-people,"Get over it."And if you haven't figured it out yet, the reason Urban Meyer called those two time outs with a few seconds left in the game yesterday... he was telling Richt and all the Celebrating Dog-people.... ...You don't get to leave the Gator Bowl.... until we tell you you can leave The Gator bowl.
- Classless get less classierKarma is a horrible itch, yes.
However, based on the postings below. There is still no class anywhere to be found south of the GA line. Y'all were upset about the "stomp" because you didn't think of it first. Take notes, because this is a level of pride and class you will never reach:
Good game guys, you deserved it....
But this isn't over. - spanking the puppies49 - 10 Now that's a real stomp. 16 wins in the past 19 years, you're our Vandy. Now go sit in the corner. Good dog.
- I'd say that UF is over it now....Butt lickers got STOMPED and UF didn't have to resort to cheap dog tricks.
- we are over iti think we are over it now maybe the dawgs will show up next year you were destroyed
- It's time toGeorgia's penalties this year come from an undisciplined team
- Get Over It?If UF had done last year what UGA did, the foaming at the mouth UGA fans would be howling for blood this year! May the Gators bury the dogs!
- FINALLY!Finally, a voice of reason and understanding. You hit the nail on the head with this one, my friend.
Hopefully the dawgs can put them good-for-nothing Gators in there place this weekend.
I enjoy the blog. You always have me wanting more, keep it up.
