National Media upset at Volnation...I think we’re used to that by now. WE DON’T CARE.

...don’t poke the beast or we may have to Twitter rage for your job too!

That's about as "in your face" as it gets, except for barking by Georgia fans. I guess I need to howl like a blue tick at them?

My question to both of these clowns is, 'did you go on national tv and criticize UF football players when they did the exact same gesture at Neyland?' If not, take a hike. Florida doesn't own the chomp. Although it is lame and beyond annoying.

I don’t agree with them, but I find the criticism fair all the same.

I think most of us are rational enough to understand we’d be irate if they beat us on our home floor and were gator chomping our student section . But we will justify it for Grant and Admiral.

Admiral says their student section made unsavory comments. I believe him. Some think he should have taken the high road. Some think he should rub the win in their face. Fair both ways

If they beat Tennessee in Knoxville that is exactly what I expect their players to do don't really see the big deal either way.

This - if you don't like the other team's celebration after they win, then play better and win yourself. Same argument where folks bemoan teams running up the score. It's your job to play defense, not their job to "take it easy" on you. Too many snowflakes in the media

Andy Katz & Seth Davis both criticized the post game actions by Vol players. Of course, neither were there or knew what was being said to the players, or saw the way the game was “called” (very pro-Florida).

Players have to respect the fact that fans don’t heckle teams that are 3-12. They heckle good teams and good players. That said, if Florida had won and UF players had done the chomp, it would have been a celebration, not classless. I don’t understand why one team is classless and another is celebration. If Florida can’t deal with the chomp when they lose, don’t do it when they win.

Ok, I’m going to throw out a different example. I attended the 1998, played in 1999, BCS Football Champioship game against FSU. Throughout that game I had to watch and hear the FSU tomahawk chant. After the game, Tennessee fans gave it back to them. So, were the 30,000 some odd Tennessee fans being disrespectful? To me, the gator chomp and and FSU tomahawk chop are two of the lamest actions in college sports, only below Alabama’s singing we just beat the hell out of you after a football win. Screw Florida. If they want to chomp, be prepared to get it back at you when you lose.

Saturday Down South did the same thing. They reported the "chomp" but made sure not to report the reason. According to what the players said it wasn't just what was said during the game, but also on social media. The taunts were characterized as unhuman in nature. Guess some websites just want to slam anything Vols.

UT doesn't have anything like the Gator Chomp but I'm sure some UT fans would be Pi$$ed if UF players threw a UT "cheer" back in the students' faces.

With that said, I had no real issue with it yesterday. The crowd was pretty brutal (normal for UF) and it was a very hard-fought game.

I wouldn't like it, but I wouldn't like it because my team just lost. I wouldn't call it disrespectful, and whine about it all over social media, especially if our fans were cussing out their team the whole game.

Who cares what Katz and a few other media heads think. Too most folks this is much about nothing. You live by the chomp you die by the CHOMP! Nobody has exclusive rights to free speech. GBO!!!!

Reminiscent of Herbstriet wanting Rashaun Gaulden kicked off the team for flipping off Bama fans, while saying Baker Mayfield’s “competitive spirit” was misunderstood when he did it to Kansas fans.

I have been irate while they gator chomped us fans after winning on our home floor! It’s a ridiculous complaint by two talking heads that need something to talk about. Tennessee and Florida are a heated rivalry, as are most contest in the SEC. it’s what we do. Who cares what they think!
GBO!!

Ok, I’ll say it. It’s easy to kick Gauden off a 5-7 team but no way could you kick Mayfield off a CFP team. Herby later apologized and admitted he was wrong but remember a fact of life “there’s two sets of rules and the sooner you figure out which set apply to you, the better off you’ll be”.

I don’t think either should have been dismissed from their respective teams, both acts were done at very emotional times. Do you think Herby would have apologized if Gaulden hadn’t called him out so publicly? He may have forgotten about his comments toward Gaulden by that time.

Maybe the Gators haven't been disrespectful to us after a win in Ktown if mocking the other team's chant is the barometer. I mean, I don't remember hearing them sing Rocky Top but it wouldn't offend me.
