Not to poke at the sentiment here, but in the interest of accuracy, Florida has been to 5 of the last 10 SEC championship games, so by default UF has equaled what UT has done here. Just pointing it out so someone else doesn't lose a bet or something. My opinion means nothing here (which will...

No, I understand that very well. The point is that there IS a difference between a speeding ticket and a misdemeanor citation. In Tennessee, speeding tickets can be issued "in lieu of an arrest". A person can then pay a fine and never have to appear in court. For misdemeanor crimes, a...

I didn't read the thread before I made my post. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one.

Having lived in Florida for a long time, where there were several "Clothing Optional" beaches, when I glanced at the thread title, I read it as "Clothing Optional for larger TN fans". I thought it was an interesting title for a thread...I steered clear for a couple of days until I realized that...

Castration...it's the only option.:) Seriously, given the timing, I wouldn't have even let him go to the game. I would have told him that since he chose to put himself before the team just hours before the game, that I couldn't trust him to be around his team mates at such a critical time...

So the internal discipline for theft is to tell a guy that is redshirting that he can't dress for the game. Oooouuuuch. That had to hurt. And I thought Urban Meyer was a tough disciplinarian. :)

In the interest of accuracy (because the thread is otherwise pretty stupid), off the top of my head, Florida played MTSU in 2000 and beat 'em 55-0, and beat them another time (2004 I think) this decade. Vandy has played them at least 3 times this decade (maybe more) and has yet to beat MTSU...

I don't think that you can make the jump from what Deerpark quoted, that "there wasn't an arrest, ... that only a citation was issued" and arrive at the conclusion that Kiffin did not know about the issue last week. It sounds more as if Kiffin DID know about the shoplifting incident, but...

Not quite. In Tennessee, speeding tickets can be issued "in lieu of an arrest". A person can then pay a fine and never have to appear in court. For misdemeanor crimes, a citation can be issued "in lieu of continued custody". The perpetrator still has to go to the police station to be...

I can appreciate that (which is part of why I'm no fan of Mike & Mike in the Morning). I think most of the off-the-field stuff gets overblown in the media. For that matter, a lot of the on-the-field stuff does, too.

I hear this argument a lot, but I fail to see how this equates to "fear". Many Florida fans are similarly amused by the trials and tribulations of Bobby Bowden, though they certainly don't fear him. He's the coach of a rival team, and opposing fans generally enjoy making fun of mishaps occurring...

Sure, it's kind of a slow week. Florida is playing Florida International University this weekend. It's not like I can go to an FIU forum and talk player matchups and X's and O's. :wink2:

The reports that I've seen, in multiple places, state the following: "Oliver's punishment was handled internally, but he was taken off the dress roster for that game and banned from team activities, according to Tennessee athletic department spokesperson Tiffany Carpenter." So one of three...

I have no problem giving Kiffin the benefit of the doubt, that he may not have realized that being issued a citation for shoplifting goes hand-in-hand with the arrest. Put another way, the perpetrator is first arrested, then issued a citation in lieu of continued custody. Here's the...

I think that you are likely dead on. It's sad that these guys threw away everything that they had worked for, but they made a choice that they're going to have to live with. These guys were the easy choices for Kiffin - they weren't likely getting off the hook so that they could come back. It...
