    Anyone notice Georgia players
    (Melendez, DeLoach) talking trash to coach Golden, in the hand shake line. they were saying something and coach Hovde was giving them the big time stink eye… Anyone at the game notice?

    At the end of the broadcast I saw Golden spending extra time with Melendez but patting him on the back and moving on when he was done, didn't see a stink eye, but again I was watching on tv

    I did see Melendez talking trash right to Golden after a made shot and Golden taking it up with the ref, and ref in turn taking it up with White.

    Talk as much trash as you like, but end result is a W for the Gators and an L for the Bulldogs. No Gator chomping celebration for UGA on that day.

    I noticed Golden and Melendez having a conversation during the handshake but it didn't look tense to me. Maybe Hovde was put off by his behavior during the game but I would guess it was more of a sorry about that/good game type of thing.

    I doubt it was trash talk during the post game handshakes. Words might have been exchanged but more like "Great game" from Golden and "Thanks" from Melendez.

    They're desperate mutts. Next time they score on us White may have the whole team rush the floor.

    I hate to break it to you guys but players and coaches don't hate on the other team like fans do.

    How do I hate thee, Georgia? Let me count the ways:
    I hate thee to the depth and breadth and height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of being and ideal grace.
    I hate thee to the level of every day’s
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I hate thee freely, as men strive for right.
    I hate thee purely, as they turn from praise.
    I hate thee with the passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
    I hate thee with a hate I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints. I hate thee with the breath,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
    I shall but hate thee better after death.
    Eat sh!t and die, Georgia.

    Apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning

    And Captain Ahab hasn't been our coach for a long time.

    It must hurt to see their football team coming back to earth as we all knew they would, and there being no corresponding leap of improvement in their basketball team.
