We are not holier than thou

Not possible. We are UF. We are too good for this stuff.

 

Does it really matter? This has been done since the beginning of football. Without coaching to do it, players will sit on the field for a breather. It can't be enforced because refs have no idea if it is a cramp or a shot to the midsection, and in either case the player could be back in the game almost immediately. This is only an issue to gimmicky offenses that get exposed and only is an issue for their fans until they hire their next coach.

 

I nearly spit out my virgin Bloody Mary.

 

It’s funny and kinda true. I’ve always said one of UF’s issues is it’s ego.

 

A journalist (don't know who) once stated Gator fans have the arrogance of Notre Dame and history of Wake Forest.

 

That about sums it up.

 

That's funny, but I can't agree with us having the history of Wake Forest. lol

 

After a quick Google search, apparently it was written in the 1970s by a sportswriter named Dan Jenkins so some of that has been washed away by the SOS and Meyer era.

 

Probably a cramp, as George Gumbs is solid muscle and a player who gives it up on every play.. Not faking

 

That would have had to be in the 80s or earlier. Haven’t had the “history of Wake Forest” for some time.

 

We did when he said it.

 

I believe he wrote for Playboy magazine in the 60s and early 70s.

 

As they should, IMO. It's well known part of defensive strategy and slowing down a fast or no huddle offense. Do what the coaches tell you unless it's Mickey Andrews garbage.

 

Well, that it doesn't apply to present day was my point.

 

Were Gator fans arrogant back then? I'm 41 so don't know much about the era pre-Spurrier other than what I read online.
