Oh, I completely agree that Meyer was politicking. I just think Kiffin's spin on it is a bit contrived, is all.

What I find amazing is you don't characterize Urban's comments as political or contrived. It's all about perspective here. Personally I think, what Urban has said over the last couple days comes off to me, and many in the press by the way, as political spinning and contrived to try to explain away why they Gators didn't kill the Vols on Saturday.

You've got an argument that Kiffin is irrational at every turn while kneeling to the master you call Herr Meyer. You are not as unbiased as you think. In fact, you are more left then all those Obama Chia pet commercials.

I'll admit that I didn't buy into CLK at first but I do now and I love having a coach with attitude.

Love the comments, CLK is in UM's head. The attitude this team is taking on is awesome. The best thing about all of this is recruiting. There was alot of kids there that are on the fence and what they saw was an energetic coaching staff and a TN team that was outgunned but full of fight. GO VOLS!!

CLK can say what he wants when he wants. This guy is the freakin man and I love him saying whats on his mind! Im behind him 1000000%

I wish I was big on keeping track of articles or links. Read the articles. UF went into that game with the plan to play more conservative. Their own OC said they cut the playbook over concerns for what Monte would throw at them. Saying they switch to conservative play in the 4th quarter because we did is hogwash! Monte affected this game before even stepping in the stadium and I love it.

Rival fans and UT fans both need to accept the fact that comments will continue to come from CLK that will get a rise out of people. His own wife, old coaches, etc stated in interviews that he has been that way his entire life. He likes to study reactions from people. The guy gets off on getting people off their game. I personally like it because it will serve him well in his profession.

Ask anyone other than UF-UT fans about the comments from Meyer after the game. Most of them are going to tell you Urban was making excuses. Plain and simple.

I like the direction the program seems to be going. Really, I do. But would someone please remind Lane Kiffin that we have a losing record? And that we lost to a Pac-10 weakling, and a divisional conference opponent by double digits?

Since when is it okay to talk trash when you're on a losing streak?

He figures no such thing as bad press.

This team is still a 7-win team or so. With that said... It makes it okay because how many 7- win teams do you see making national media waves?

Exposing a whiney-coach to the entire nation is not bad press. And pimp slappin' the spineless Slive in the process is just icing on the cake.

CLK is going to milk the controversy for all its worth. Even if he has to make up some new ones.

It was nice and rather refreshing to hear media trashing Urban Meyer this morning. Face it Gators, Urban lost the media battle this week at the very least. There's no way to deny it.

Why stop now right?

If you can't understand how perception is reality, then I can't help you. We're on the brink of posting one of Tennessee's greatest recruiting classes in several years, if ever. Incredibly talented kids want to be a part of the rivalry we just saw on Saturday, and not all of them want to do it as Gators.

What are you referring to? The only contoversy that I have read in all of this, is where Oscar said that the Vols were not playing to win....Those my friend..are fighting words! And, yes CLK(and his team) will respond when challenged! If he doesn't believe that...let Oscar try another comeback. That might really get embarassing for the Gator nation. Best to just let it drop while you are only slightly backhanded vs. punch drunk :hi:

I am ready for this drama to be over. I like that Kiffin won't back down and don't think there is anything wrong with his comments. But I am just excited for the rest of the season and hopefully a few more Wins and maybe one big upset along the way.

I will absolutely concede that.

Ok so what does "they weren't going for the win" mean? If Kiffin said that about any other team would you be here flaming him for being a jacka@@?? And what self respecting coach in this country will allow another coach to suggest that his team was intentionally playing for any other purpose but to win the game??

I beg of you, read the rest of it, in context.

Would context be sort of like speaking to boosters? Or how about saying "that was Mike's idea Urban?"

Just wondering when it is acceptable to view context and when it's not...

Seems to be some gray area and also some double standards?

Hm. i'd still be willing to bet that this one meant more to kiffin and co. than uf. daddy had to get to work early so lane didn't look like a complete fool. and he was successful, i'll give him that.
we have no playmakers at wr. we're a running team this year, unfortunately. not going to score a bunch of points without turnovers, and you guys did your part there.
and yes, you did have 2 games before us. you beat up western k and lost to ucla, which further supports my argument that a.) you were looking ahead and/or b.) the game plan isn't as good when given a limited amount of time. :pepper:

Right, that's what you have been saying on this board for the last few weeks. Only a gator fan could talk about how they were going to blow someone out for weeks and then come try and talk trash after a 10 point game at home.
