the only thing lacking in that game was our defense and ability to do anything with the ball in the 2nd half.

we want respect, well, i'd say we start earning it. until then, it just sounds like whining. mho.

I tend to agree, especially if it's the backups playing. But in that game there was a time to "call off the dogs". It didn't happen.

i used to think that way. but then it dawned on me on saturday as i watched us beat the crap out of some team with our starters still in the game (Jim Donnan while a GA will probably know what game i'm speaking of specifically, but there are others).

while i agree there's some measure of sportsmanship that everyone should follow in sports, it is still the opponents' responsibility to stop you. it's not your job to do it for them. and crying about it afterward is petty.

i'll just keep saying it....we want respect and everyone to take notice of what we do etc.....well, at some point, we're going ot have to make it out of September still controlling our destiny in the SEC, otherwise we are always going to be an afterthought as the season goes along, always talking about woulda, coulda, shoulda......

Shame on us for beating the crap out of UGA :). I have never nor will never cry about it - it was brought up and I gave my opinion. It's our fault for quitting late in the game, but I can't help to think that CPF would be content with running the clock out with the shoe on the other foot. I hope we have the opportunity to find out.

us quitting has me much more upset than anything FL did or didn't do to make the score what it was. truth be told, the way we played in the 2nd half, we should have lost by the margin we did.

all that said, i don't expect us to have a similar performance this season. i think this season we are capable of giving FL all they want, and then some hopefully.

i really am looking forward to that game.

I don't recall him taking his foot off the gas against UGA.

At any rate, as posted above, complaining about another team playing well against you for the whole game is petty and whining.

Did Tennessee score in the second half against UGA?

Defense and a lack of offense in the 2nd half??? That is not the only thing....that is EVERYTHING! We Sucked! Period!

The lack of respect was due to them beating our team like that in front of the world (player's families, fans, etc).

I hope we disrespect them in an even worse way this year.

There was a time when subs played in college, but I never recall that happening at UF. Whether that's because they didn't have a team that could do it back in the ole days or its just in their DNA to have no class is hard to say. But my conclusion on such matters is always the same... the Gators sux.:)

Yes, after UGA scored Tennessee responded with a long drive that led to a Foster touchdown i believe.

you are correct sir. we had a long drive that took about 7 minutes off the clock right after uga scored their first td in the 3rd quarter. 4 yard run by foster to give him his 3rd td of the game.

The idea of having ANY college football rankings in Febuary is stupid. You're going to have a top 25 based on? Recruiting? Signing Day?

Chill out I'm sure your still on track to win it all! When did a freshman class ever have any bearing on the following year?

You do get it. You just pointed it out. Clawson and staff plus D-Mo... as the summary says.

Makes perfect sense to me.

And Clawson is exactly what most critics wanted... an unpredictable offense run by a talented up-and-comer.

Ok, I’ll give you Clawson on that one. But CPF announced that Morley was coming back on January 6th, and Schlabach’s first top 25 list (we were unranked) came out after that. Either way, seems like a huge jump from unranked to 14th based on a change at O.C. and Morley, but whatever man, I’ll take it.

Sorry they couldn't include D-Mo in this year's star system, but if they did, folks would have to complain about something other than not getting a 5-star. D-Mo is a 5-star with courage, character, and playing time. He's much better!

What exactly did I say about Morley that gave you the impression that I was down on him? Check the recruiting boards, I guarantee you won't find a single post from me putting any of these recruits down. Not my style.

Peace.
