Might as well call today's game the National Championship Game

As for Dunlap's fate, We can all debate how severe a DUI is, how potentially deadly it could have been, or the fact that he ended up hurting anyone...

The fact is, UF students face an entire semester of suspension from the University if charged with a DUI (minimum). Bending the rules for an athlete (especially where the infraction is a criminal offense) is a bad look for an academic institution. As much as I would like to see him play, and acknowledge his special talents above and beyond the "rest" of us students, showing the country that we are compromising integrity in order to boost an athletic program is a much bigger loss.

No... I usually don't like to have anyone over for big games like this. I think it came from years of Florida losing them and me showing my arse!!!! I am making a couple of snacks and a post of Brunswick Stew. My parents may stop by for a bowl of stew but that is about it.

How about you?

I am like that too. For me it is a protest against what ALWAYS happens. People say, come over to my house,
we are watching the game. But when you get there, they aren't watching the game. The game is on,
people are partying and the sound is down. No, when the game is on, the GAME IS ON!
Don't give me no lame-a$$ excuses about, "Oh, the women were kind of getting bugged
by the football game sound, they wanted some music, blablabla.
Uhuh, I watch the game at home, by myself where I make the rules.

Roll tide, beat the gators.

[OLS]

RRRRRrrrrroooooooooollll TIDE!!!!!
Cmon Elephants, stomp the gators!

[OLS]

I have to say, I HAVE learned my lesson...you don't start celebrating when your team gets up on the gators, Gary Danielson said it last month,
Florida FINDS ways to not lose games. BUT, I do love the looks on Tebow's face: "Jesus, what are you doing, we had an agreement?
Remember when we talked about us being awesome? We had it all planned out."

Poor idiot. You think someone ought to tell him that God has always been a Bama fan?? Always has been and always will be.

[South Shield]

Great first half. Hope the second is just as good.

[Tio Gato]

I'm seriously stressed. Go Gators!

[G G]

Good Lord, the gators are getting skinned.

[OLS]

My congratulations to all the Bama fans. What an exceptionsal performance by your team. I have alot of smart alec comments,
one especially good, but the gator fans do not need that crap tonight. You got...ahaha, looka Tim! Crying on the sidelines.
No there is nothing to say, but I had to watch team after team get their foot on the necks of the gators
and let em up, and they got their butts handed to em. 4 different teams had a real shot, and just failed
to stick the dagger in deep enough. What a way to LEARN and BURN. I hate Nick Saban, but I love the Tide.
Congrats to all the teams on a couple of great seasons. What is it with Tebow, all the Bama fans coming over to
congratulate him on being Tim Tebow, and he just ignores them??. Sheesh. I know it hurts, but it's like he never even
considered that he might have to be on the short end and accept their sincere admiration and well wishes.

^^^^Brother... I think Tebow showed a lot of class. Sorry you don't agree.

Class to Tracey Wolfson. After a few moments to compose himself. And there is no doubt Tebow has CLASS. But I was remarking about 30 seconds of videotape, 60 sec befoer they stuck a mic in his face. But you have to be there to understand the intensity of the emotions, I know.
You ARE not incorrect.

But I DO strongly dislike him. I am sure that shows. I grew up in a sin city, and worked most of my life in the Bible belt,
and guys like him rub me the wrong way.
