Grant Gator chomping deserves its own thread!

[GBO18]

You act like they flipped the double birds and then mooned the crowd. They were getting venom from the student section all night, they’re perfectly within their rights to give it back to them a bit

I believe TGO is the same age as Clint Eastwood so don’t be surprised by his take.

 

[cncchris33]

It's nonsense. Grant and Admiral are better than that.

 

[ZZ13]

No need to run over there and engage them. Calmly walking off the court and pointing at the scoreboard would have been more than enough. Dumb move by those two team leaders. It won't surprise me to see them issue an apology. It was low class.

I see it as harmless fun. They chomp us. We chomp them. Just a bunch of people enjoying life.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Is it really that big of a deal ?

Big enough deal to get it's very own VN thread.

 

[escapegoat2]

Maybe my memory is way off, but I seem to remember one year in football that we had momentum in a game vs Florida and our QB did the Gator Chomp. I think it was a bad omen, we ended up losing that game.

Luckily for you, Grant did it when the game was over. So losing isn’t an option

Maybe they'll just bake them cookies instead

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

This is the same school that threw piss balloons, correct?

 

[roberthunter]

It was the RB, John Kelly, in 2017, after we tied it up. And yes, Florida did come back and win that game. But that was during the game and the taunt actually resulted in a penalty that helped Florida. I think it’s a different situation. Also, f Florida, go Vols

Yep. If they're going to allow Florida to have some obnoxious celebration that only they can do during the game, might as well throw it back at them once the clock expires.

Freak,

I wish to spend a month’s worth of likes on this.

Perhaps, but that wouldn’t make Florida fans half as mad, and there’s nothing better than making Florida fans mad

Exactly. I feel the same way

Agreed. Take the high road.

With that said, I despise florida (intentionally didn't capitalize) and wouldn't care to see their university never win a game in any sport, ever.

Dirty Harry is more like my grand pappy's age, Junior.

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Some undercover gator fans in this thread. Take that L gators, those last two minutes were a flurry. We flew all over y’all. Florida was the helpless opponent in the corner leaning against the ropes and UT was Mohammad Ali. With Schofield coming in with the DAGGER

You’re so ridiculous.

“Low class” lmao.

I think we have found the guy that bumped into Grant.....

Agreed. Take the high road.

I'd rather see TN fans Rammer Jammer at Bama in Neyland next year. But at least it was directed at Florida fans... the worst inbreds in the SEC.

 

[TJSVOLS]

Big enough deal to get it's very own VN thread.

Well yea OK, but not really big enough to get upset about.

 

[SJAVol32]

Wonder if it’s acceptable now.

 

[VolInNW]

A big nothing burger. No obscene gestures. No one was hurt. No property damage. Don’t know why some in here have the vapors over this. It’s fine when their students do it, and it’s fine for us to respond. No big deal.

That Florida official who swiped on his way by was kind of an @$$, but not seeing the whole arena he may have been needed quickly on the court.

Good win. Let’s keep em coming.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Well yea OK, but not really big enough to get upset about.

Then why are you upset?

 

[LoudOrange]

Saw an Auburn kicker do it after last second winning field goal against FL several years ago. I don't remember backlash or outrage over that.

 

[vol-un-tear]

I think it’s a bad omen, not cool.

I’m 100% good with it. We get this every other year in Neyland. We need some satisfaction.
