UF vs. Tenn

[dorfmac]

Being one of the premier match-ups this weekend, if for no other reason than the animosity between the coaches, we gotta have a thread for it.

And I say for no other reason because the Gators are going to destroy UT. What Kiffin has said over the off-season is worse than when UGA rushed the field, so I expect Meyer's retribution to be even greater and more embarrassing than the time outs at the end of the game.

[PeteCanes]

Kiffin seems like slime, but that all stems from him talking about the ultimate slime, Meyer. So I'm not really sure what to think about it all.

[Big Mac]

florida will destroy them, Tennessee is terrible this year and Lane Kiffin is a moron.

[ChrisP]

Cliff notes on the slime-slinging?

[geschinger]

I look for Urban to show no mercy against Lane who is probably a couple of years away from having enough of his own recruits to be a legitimate contender. I also think it may be Urban's last regular season game against Tenn if Charlie Weiss ends up getting fired.

These are the two teams I save that special kind of hatred for (I don't even wish Auburn the ill will I wish these two teams). I hope a swarm of locusts engulfs the stadium and causes both teams to lose.

That said, Florida is going to kick the living crap out of Tennessee, which I could get some enjoyment out of. Kiffykins is a cocky little annoyance who needs to be dealt with.

So is Tebow.

So is Tebow.

Typical anti-UF sentiment and Tebow backlash. He was a great guy long before the cameras started shining on him, and he doesn't ask for the attention. He's passionate about what he does - just like we want to see our O's be. Just cause ESPN hypes him up does not make HIM cocky...

As for the game I gotta agree - UT is going to get wrecked. I'm calling 53 - 17 with some specific act performed with the goal of embarassing Kiffin a la last years final minute UGA time outs.

Touche.

Too bad I'm going to miss this game. I accepted an invite from a buddy to go up to South Bend this weekend to watch mediocre football at its finest (Michigan State at ND). Should be a good time.

I agree... The Tebow backlash doens't make a lot of sense to me especially when there is a Gator (Urban Meyer) who is at least Lane's equal when it comes to being an annoyance.

Tebow's problem is he's too damn perfect.* He's a choir boy that I'm pretty sure doesn't drink, doesn't have sex, goes on mission trips (to cut the foreskin off of young Filipino boys!), gives 120% on every play, etc, etc, etc. Being too perfect is an imperfection in and of itself and it breeds a lot of contempt from us mere mortals. That's why Wieters didn't bust out right away, he wanted us to like him.

I agree on Urban Meyer, what a Bordick.

*Also, he spurned Bama for Florida. But can you blame him? Mike Shula was our coach at the time. Yuck.

Good theory.

Tebow is the left handed spread offense running version of Danny Wuerffel.

I thought that was called jealousy...

While I dislike the Creamsicles, I'd get on my roof and sing Rocky Top if they beat the 'Turds on Saturday.

[CrimsonTribe]

Here's the thing. I despise both Florida and Tennessee. I despise Florida more, but I'm certain they are going to win and win big so I'm just going to have to live with that fact and enjoy that Tennessee and Kiffykins are getting stomped.
