Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[VolGee4]

One is taunting and that's why it's flagged

That’s BS. Same act for both teams can’t be flagged. As long as it’s not an obscene gesture, that’s ridiculous.

 

[BruinVol]

they are both taunting.

Not at all. one team would be celebrating with thier fans

Celebrations are being given more leeway these days but taunting not

 

[jakez4ut]

I count at least 9 birds in that photo. Lol. And they're upset about the chomp.... Fine with me. Win next time so you don't have to worry about it. Otherwise... STFU.

As I said. One is celebrating while the other is taunting.

Imo one is acceptable and one isn't but I respect others disagreeing

********. A gator chomp in Neyland is no different than one in Gainesville by another team. It's a taunt.

 

[Kingston Vol]

There’s some talk that Chip Long could be going to Alabama with Sark.

 

[BigOrange15]

The fan base known for pissing in cups and literally throwing it on opposing fans is whining about the class of players from another team. Massive lol. Williams could have teabagged their midcourt logo for all I care, they can live with it. Next time dont lose and be classless to our players.

Certainly hard to tell but it all depends on who it's directed toward

Boo

Nope.


I also dont have a problem with either happening. You want some official hand gesture? Accept it being thrown back in your face.

Too many cooks in the kitchen?

 

[Jackcrevol]

I've never watched a basketball game on the road, but by far and away was treated the worst at the swamp. Never had a problem anywhere else. The swamps a shithole tho.

Also if y'all ever get the chance to watch a game at Kyle Field, take it.

My impression Swamp was a very nice place. UF wasnt that great.

Tuscaloosa was an great campus. their strip is right on top of everything, theyre very lucky. area around the stadium was beautiful, the stadium at that time hadnt been used ? recall some or all UT Bama games were in Birmingham. In 1999 Bammer stadium only held about 70K. theyve really made it nice since then.

Auburn is a dump.

Which is why anyone laughing at "demise" of Bama isn't being real. Not hard to find someone to coach Tua and all those WRs. Then you have little Tua behind him and the top class coming in. Not sure if Long would leave his spot but possible because it would put him in line once Sark easily gets a HC job after coaching that unit for a year. I just hope Butch stays as WR coach so we don't have to hate Tee for being a bammer

 

[jakez4ut]

Nope.

Yeah it's no different than ou players doing the upside down horns gesture.

We won. So we get to talk. Enjoy it

unless its a recognized rivarly and thats their official or unofficial little school girl gesture...nothing says 'diddy' like gator Chomp.

this is truth. it happens.

our fans are pretty bad too.

If Florida can go around chomping every time they make a play in any sport, then we should be able to chomp right back at them.

 

[GiggerVol]

Doug Mathews on Big Orange Sunday just spent the 1st segment talking about the Chaney hire and made it clear that Chaney, Fulmer and Pruitt had been having conversations for months and Chaney expressed to them his desire to get back to east TN and that set things in motion thus the no rush til all details and contract got worked out. Bill Justice on now and he said the chomp was deserved and he didn't have a problem with it.

Swamp is nice? Auburn is a dump? I have been to all 3 and not sure that’s how I would characterize those.

 

[chargervol]

This is odd.
Bruin has the opposite stance of most everyone else. I'm a little shocked personally.

So, to those who criticized Matthews....

Exactly. Same thing with Texas/Oklahoma. It doesn't hurt anybody but feelings when they do upside down hookem which is same feeling OK fans have when seeing the hook em. It's part of college rivalries to poke fun at the other school after winning. Same thing with the cigars we have to watch Bama smoke every year.

Florida fans calling for Grant and Admiral suspension because of Gator chomp. My parents have visited most SEC stadiums and others across the country. They said no fans were as low class and actually cruel as the Florida fans. My parents are good kind people, and they threw drinks on them--just because they had on VOLS colors.

I've heard similar from others visiting their stadium, so don't have much sympathy if they get beat and have to endure a gator chomp by two of the classiest players to ever wear a VOL uniform. Admiral said they were calling them inhumane names behind the bench and those guys are not liars.

This 1000 percent. They threw a glass bottle and cut a little girls face. I won’t take my son there till he’s grown so he can get back home. I am afraid I would beat someone to a pulp if they threw something at me. Once a kid who went to UT got separated from his parents at a game in Gainesville walking to their car and a bunch of frat guys hurt him really bad. Had to go to the hospital. They were some of the biggest donors to UF. They said they would never go back to a game or give another red cent. Hate Bama and went to a game there. Never worried about it. Florida is a horrible place with horrible fans. I know everyone has their outlier fans but Florida has way more than anyone else.

 

[engineerVOL]

Gainesville is categorically awful, the worst place to visit as an opposing fan. It is everything that is wrong with this planet all rolled into one sweaty town.

 

[Nashvegas31]

So much failing up from college to pros starting to happen. Kliff to Cards, Schiano rumored to be Pats DC. I'm now fully expecting Butch to be hired as NFL HC at this rate or maybe strength and conditioning advisor lol
