    Would have been a great Monday press conference question. Someone with a list of defensive players that "dropped", asking CBN for current injury status. ;)

    The announcers apparently forgot who coaches the Gators.

    You want a fake injury? How about the Steve Spurrier designed play in which Wuerffel limped off the field as if injured, so Kresser could come in and surprise the defense with a long pass completion?

    How low-class can you get?

    different context than faking an injury so the official stop play, preventing a hurry up offense from being able to quickly execute

    The first one, Moten? His was a real injury. He got up holding his shoulder like he had a stinger, tried running to the sideline, kept getting blocked by UT players getting back to their huddle so he dropped. Gumbs….not sure about that one. He did get up pretty quick and started moving fine before going down. Maybe he got hurt and didn’t realize it right away. Adrenaline is a crazy thing. He probably wasn’t hurt though. I also don’t care about it until they enforce it because every team does it to us when we finally put a drive together.

    We're not holier.

    We are both fairer, and squarer.

    Self loathing has been a part..a part of the Gator psyche..for a long time. Part of that has been, imhfo, pride in the successes of the state, not just the “national championships”. jmo.
    And..because we have seen strong athletic accomplishments in many sports, yes, indeed, we have expectations. Expectations are like juggling razor sharp swords…cuts both ways if mishandled.
    That is also why we “complain” here and elsewhere when our beloved football team does not dominate. Not just win, but seen as growing stronger year after year.
    That ..THAT..is where we are.

    Mertz is a cheerleader now. He did good.
    Lagway will save CBN or not.it is a win or die six game season now. The toughest part of the season.
    I, like all of you, will be a Gator till I take my last breath. I, and several former..and current members of my family including those who are Gators in curriculum..right now, will join me.

    JUST WIN BOYZ. WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK.
