They had 3 quarters to do something about it if they were so p**. When your defense gets handled there isn’t much you can do. It will make a difference in intensity in the fans and at the beginning of the game but after that it’s up to the best team to win and it’s a non-factor.

Interesting. It appears that last season’s end zone stunt has put the Dawgs in the Gators’ heads just as Spurrier’s barbs and antics got in the heads of a different generation of Dawgs. Sure, the Gators and Meyers will get a share of wins against Georgia in future years, but the End Zone Celebration just may have been the psychological ploy which put an end to Gator domination of the series since the 90s.

Bad Deal? No, the bad deal was Meyer waiting to call timeout on the fieldgoal attempt. It didn’t work, but was still poor sportmanship! Perhaps Meyer should learn from his quarterback, who instead of whining, complimented Richt. Tebow said it surprised him, but inspired him to play harder.

If Meyer only had as much class as Tebow. Myer is still crying about it and Tebow has said that he thought it was a good move by UGA. Thats because it was. It did change not only change the game but the mindset of the series as a whole. UGA called out UF and then backed it up with a beatdown. That will stick in the UF players minds for years to come.

Hey ever gator if what goes around comes around then you mean UGA will 17 of the next 20 games with UF. Thanks for your vote of confidence. We believe so too.

Also, with all of Meyers shady recruiting tactics and lying UF will be the next SEC school to be put on probation. He has made way too many enemies among other coaches etc. He has zero respect for anybody and zero class.

So, Urban Cryer is still mad about the TD dance, huh? Well, guess what? Nobody who wears the red & black gives a rat’s @$$ about Coach Cryer or his huffing and puffing about it. The reason? From 1990 until now, with only a few instances in between, UGA has come up on the short end of the score in this game. During this time, all I remember seeing was Gator players talking smack, doing their gator chomp, dancing on the sidelines, cutting pieces of the hedges down when they won in Athens, and generally making @$$es of themselves. They pretty much challenged UGA to do something about it on the field if they didn’t like it. Now……the tide has turned. UGA has split the games over the last 4 times the teams have played. The series is beginning to resemble a rivalry again…..and poor UF and Urban Cryer don’t like it. The gators are virtually becomming odsessed with UGA, and beating them again. Everything they are doing, judging by recent articles is geared at “revenge” against UGA. I love it! All of the sudden, UGA isn’t just an “afterthought” on the UF schedule anymore. All of the sudden, UGA is in the head of the head gator….just like Dooley and UGA was in the heads of UF during the 70s and 80s. Well, tough $h!t, Urban. We owe UF for all those times their players shoved it in our faces while proclaiming that their antics were just “part of football.”

I agree with you that if UF has another 9-4 season finishing 3rd in the SEC east then Meyer will be on the hot seat. He has way too much talent to finish like he did last year. I do think that UT will get their revenge on UF this year and give them their first loss early in the season. As we can see Meyer’s only focus is UGA and that will be his downfall.

Bradley,

You are such a pathetic homer its not even funny! CMR can do no wrong in your eyes and while he is an incredible coach, the stunt last year was classless. May have worked, but still classless. The Gators are gonna hand it to the Dawgs this year and I believe the difference will be the payback factor. We all know what comes around goes around..

By the way, I can’t stand Florida and don’t particularly like Urban Meyer. But don’t act like he doesn’t have reason to be upset. How do you think CMR and the Dawgs would feel if the tables were turned? Keep plugging these Dawgs because every time you do you put them much higher on that pedestal and that fall is gonna be a beotch.

Hey Idiot Bradley,

How many times does it have to be said? The ‘classless’ move was a botched directive from CMR. It was a HUGE mistake that ended up working out ok.. but it may have appeared classless, but it really wasn’t intended to be what it is, so the blame for it needs to stop. It’s all been explained countless times over so you and others need to let it go and call it what it was… a mistake, not a classless move.

The one thing Mark Bradley did not comment on was that players could have been seriously hurt by the Georgia players running onto the field. One bump or push, could have set off a melee and had both benches pour onto the field. The safety of the players, on both sides, could have been in jeopardy. Unfortunately, it has also set up a potential confrontations with some of the fans of both teams at the game. Just read the comments above. There are some people with a lot of anger defending each school. Hoefully, cooler heads will prevail.

UGA has nothing to brag about, and that stunt by CMR last year could have been much more costly. It was cheap and immature. Spurrier would have sent a thug on the field to start a fight and would have been over in 2007 for both programs.

Tebow is still the stud in the SEC and the man to beat. UGAY got lucky last year, but the same will not happen this year, because Florida will be ready.

I predict a serious throttling of UGAY by the Gators (51-14) and the record will move to 16-19, with Florida winning the last 16 of 19.

If all a coach can do for his legacy is change the uniforms or send a bunch of thugs to the endzone to celebrate - and yes, I do believe in this series they acted like they weren’t used to being there - so much the better. All you whiners from Ga need to brace up, you never know how LSU, Auburn, Ga Tech or anybody else may choose to “celebrate” when they open up a can of whoopass on your beloved, overrated pups.

UGAY will never be ever to compare themslves to LSU, Texas, Southern Cal, OU, UF, OSU or even Miami. These are true Titletowns, and not Athens.

The bottom line is ESPN’s titletown will never visit Athens, because Athens has no class, and the same reason the College Game Day avoids Athens like the plague.

I can’t believe Meyer would let this eat him up so much. Hilarious. Even if he is stilled mad he really shouldn’t go around telling everybody and writing in his book for all to read. Bottomline is Richt evidently tatooed a big G on Meyer’s soul (if he has one) as a coach. The man got embarrassed and couldn’t do anything about it. You do things on the football field you get penalized and you get over it. Heck kicking off from the 8 yard line against the mighty Gators is virtually giving you seven points.

Mark Richt is lucky his horrific idea didn’t produce a brawl. Players should have been ejected for that ridiculous fiasco. Just imagine what would have happened if Meyer decided he wanted to respond in kind, or if some other coach saw how good this worked and though about doing it himself? It is a dangerous and horrible thing to do, and that is why Richt eventually figured out he should apologize for it, and that is why I guarantee you we’ll never see it again. He’s no moron, and looking back he can see just how awful it is.

And of course UGA would have won that game either way because they were obviously the better team that day. UF went on to score a TD on the following drive, so it’s not like they were rattled. They were just not as good on that day.

Finally, it’s not as though the incident could really make UF try harder in that game. When you’re on the football field in front of 80,000 people you’re trying your hardest no matter who you are. What that incident will do is make UF’s players try harder in the spring and summer, which will affect this year’s game.

Oh, and bringing up UF’s penalties in this context is absolute nonsense. Only a fraction of those penalties were unsportsmanlike conduct, and none of those were ordered by the coach the way they were in this case. It is something I’ve never seen before, it is shameful. It has come to overshadow what would have been just as brilliant and just as monumental a victory without it. It was a huge mistake, and for anyone to pretend otherwise because they hate Urban Meyer or UF is simply foolish.

Hey Evergator and all you other Gator fans. Look at your defense(if that’s what you can call it) you have coming back. You are depending on a true freshman to play d-line for you and he just got hurt. We are gonna beat you worse than we did last year. Gator fans, bring LOTS of booze to drown your sorrows Nov.1!!!!

Hey Jim Donnan, you tell it like it is…not like the Dawgs want it to be. They are delusional enough to think they were truly great last year, when Tech should have beaten them. It’s gonna be fun this year I tell you. If Mark Richt doesn’t win the National Championship, he should be fired.

I don’t have a “dawg” (dog…which is it?) in this fight cause I don’t support either school. However, Richt showed that he is classless by encouraging his team to break the rules. Maybe UF was penalized a lot by the officilas last year but I would venture to say that the penalties they received were not prodded on by their coach…Richt is supposed to be a Christian man…how does that square with playing by the rules? It doesn’t…what damage is done to the cause of the Christ he follows by these actions?

If Meyer lets this thing become a big deal, then he has lost control of the situation. I would think that the better approach would be the one Tebow has taken, play it down, focus on playing th season. Say nothing publicly about payback. What he says now is just noise.

Then, just before kickoff, show the video of the celebration to your Gator team and tell them “payback time is NOW.”

You can’t motivate a team in July for a game that’s played in November. Everytime he mentions it now, it just waters down the emotion.

Funny. Georgia wins 3 3 out of 20 and they are in the Gators ‘heads?’ “dawg fans are in for a rude awakening this year. Last years squad got a lot of pub for a team that did not win the East and they will likely fall on their face this year. Between the over hype, expectations, arrests, other serious off field issues involving major players, they will fall short of their goals and will again hope for an at-large bid. Florida will be a superior team this year and will handle the dawgs in Jax.

Hey, Ever Gator. What goes around comes around is right. I think it came around to the Gators last year from years of “Classless” antics by Spurrier. It may just “come around” to the Gators again this year.

Trust me, pal. We are really looking forward to Nov 1. Salivating actually. Can’t wait.

I am a HUGE Gator fan! However, that does not jade me from the truth. UGA beat us last year because they were Better! Anyone who does not realize that this series is balanced again is crazy. Also, I cannot stand the Bullsh!t that Meyer is doing. He is giving the proud Gator Nation a bad name. Just shut up and win!

Okay, here comes the reality Dawg. First off, let me say that I like what CMR did, although, the repercussions of the incident cannot be ignored. It was blown out of proportion, which we should expect, if it happened to us, we would be saying the same things. Second, to say that that move has “turned the rivalry around” is nonsense. That cannot be determined until UGA wins 2 or 3 FL games in a row, or 3 out of 4, or something like that. We can hope that it will change the rivalry for the better, but just can’t make that statement now. So of course Urban Meyer will use this as motivation, he should. The way he does it will either help them, or could help us. Let’s see how CMR uses this to do some reverse motivation.

Go Dawgs!

HA HA HA HA HA. UGA fans calling other people cry babies. I have heard it all now!!!! Maybe the reason he did not do the same thing is because he has class something that you MR. Bradley or anyone else in the dawg nation know nothing about. Take the Florida game, Stomping on VANDY I repeat VANDY’s logo, and not to mention the dawg nation being the biggest bunch of cry babies on the planent after not going to the nc after not even making it to their own division championship. Funny to hear the fans known as the biggest whiners, and complainers actually mock someone else about complaining about one of the most clasless acts of the entire football season last year.

If im not mistaken, last year at this game when the Dawgs ran on the field (and turned the tides) Urban Crier was seen gathering all his little Gayterds up and having them jump up and down RIGHT NEXT TO HIM ON THE FIELD when he called the timeout!! All I know is he did the exact same thing (even though we started it)! I was just wondering because none of the Gayterds have said anything about that part!!! Oh yeah, and that didnt work!!! I have a brand new respect for Tim Tebow! i will no longer call him Tim Teblow anymore (even though its hilarious) because he said “it was a good move, and i think CMR was smart to do it”! That is pretty sorry when your 19 year old Quarterback is more mature (doesnt cry) and problably a better football mind then you are! I dont mean to keep going on but i have to vent!! This kid carried your team on his back last year….and if you keep doing that, this great quaterback is not gonna be healthy enough to go to the NFL!

GO DAWGS!! and Whats up to the other pioneers of The Fans of Chan Club!!

Dawg fans never cease to amaze, they actually think winning once outs them in Urbans head. Hillarious. Last years squad got a lot of pub for a team that did not win the East and they will likely fall on their face this year.

Who cares about dancing in the endzone. It happens all the time. It is an unsportmanlike and deserves 15 yards(30 whatever). I care about winning; not about who said what. He is acting like a baby. The reason FL lost last year had nothing to do with an endzone dance. It had to do with GA offense overpowering FL defense. If he wants revenge he better spend his time practicing stopping the run and not who can out dance who in the endzone. I hope Urban Meyer spends all week preparing for a dance competition instead of a SEC football game.

What is surprising about the fact that the crimidawgs still believe in an unlawful action? Their whole team is a post office posting waiting to happen. One win in a generation, and guess what, the poodles think the worm has turned. It sounds like the poodles have gone from rear sniffing to glue sniffing.

I love UGA. Im the biggest supporter that they have. I don’t have to actually report news, I just write this stupid blog and give my retarded opinion in hopes that it gets you guys arguing in here. In fact, me and T Moore sit down every morning, and we decided what garbage he is going to write to enrage all of you ignorant rednecks, and then I decide how I can stick my nose a couple more inches up your butts. We do this because the more people that read our blogs and argue like stupid white trash on them, the more the AJC pays us. I love UGA so much, sooooooooooooo much. I suck up to everything uga, and love to take it in the butt from dawgs. Im going to go beat off to some replays now, and dream about fondling CMR’s ballsack. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

I don’t see why anyone is surprised that UGA was classless. It is who they are, and who they always will be.

To all you Gator fans that keep talking about how the Gators “owned” UGA in the 90’s. Get over yourself! If you want to talk about history, then look at the overall series record. UGA still has a comfy advantage. Hey, you cheeseballs brought up history, not me. Urban Meyer is such a p*ssy. Oh no, how dare anyone celebrate a TD on his precious Gators. Get some balls, Meyer! This is the SEC, a man’s league. See you Nov. 1st, and bring some tissues.

I read the article from yesterday’s AJC where Tebow stated he was surprised by the dancing in the endzone, but that liked that Mark Richt let his players celebrate. I have ALL the respect in the world for Tebow and his comments, but am sad to say very disappointed in the “grown man” Urban Meyer’s antics & lack of “good leadership” skills. He should take some pointers from his classy quarterback!

WELL YOU COULD’NT USE SPORTSMANSHIP OR ETICS ON THE FIELD FOR MOTIVATION, YHEY NEEDED A PREMEDITATED SHOW TO RALLY THE TEAM MAYBE IF IT WASNT STAGED BUT TRUE CELEBRATION IT WOULDNT BE SUCH A BIG DEAL. WE SEE WHO THE CLASSIER PROGRAM IS AND THE MORE SUCCESSFUL ONE IS. WE DON’T NEED TO PRE PLAN A CELEBRATION WHEN WE WON OUR LAST NAT. CHAMPIONSHIP. BUT GA WOULDNT KNOW ABOUT THAT.

You will never ever hear me say anything negative about a kid playing the college game. Coaches are another matter entirely. Urban Meyer is all about Urban Meyer. He wants to be a rock star. The center of attention. He should wear a
