All quiet on the Reptile Front

From north of the border, the Atlanta Journal and Constitution published this article today about the lack of responses to "retaliation questions" from the Gator players . . .

About as close that anyone came to incitement was quarterback Tim Tebow, who said Sunday, “I want to encourage our fans to make it the most unbelievable atmosphere in Jacksonville, Florida, we’ve ever seen. And I believe they will. Hopefully, at the end of the game, it will be special.” read more at this link

Biggest FL - GA game ever!

Remember last year when the Georgia Bulldogs cleared their bench to celebrate that first touchdown? You may not, but I am sure that is all the Gators have been thinking about since then! As we Gator fans know, this is always the "Florida-Georgia" game to us, and it is played each year in the "Gator Bowl" in Jacksonville. So, Bulldogs beware! You are about to become "gator bait"

The celebration

There is no question that the end zone celebration by Georgia jump-started the rivalry. Florida fans are thirsty for revenge, Georgia fans think Florida fans are whiners.

Gators Face Razorbacks Oct 4th at 12:30 PM

I was out of town last Saturday, so I guess that is why the Gators lost! Of course, they only lost by one point - because of a missed extra punt after a touchdown that should have tied the game and sent it into overtime. Oh, yeah, a last second field goal could have won the game, but Coach Meyer decided to go for the 1st down on "4th and 1" instead of kicking a long field goal. If it was up to me, and my team was down by 1 point, I think I would have attempted the field goal. I know, I know, it was not up to me! So there was enough blame to go around for the whole team, I guess, if you are going to try to blame someone, just blame me (see first sentence above.)
