Today is going to be a long one. Too excited to go to sleep after the win. Not a huge basketball fan, but this team captivated me to watch them. After our 3 football nattys(I was at the UF-OU game in 09 for my birthday) this was my favorite win as a Gator. The resilience and tenacity of this team to keep coming back was exciting to watch. Thanks to Danny Wuerffel for choosing to go to UF(my hometown boy here in FWB) and making me a Gator fan.
I'm in here being a nice guy and you gotta bring up this old sh!t?
LOLOL Last nights game was really special. not only because we won, but my wife was really in to the games. So sharing the win with her was really nice, ESPECIALLY since in 2009 she paid the whole way(tickets and air fare included) to this game, and I never left my seat(except to get rid of the beer she bought for me during the game. Funny part of this is she also bought a REALLY nice Cab that we were going to drink when we returned to the room after the game. We woke up with glasses poured with all our clothes still on, with an hour and a half until our flight departed. HELL of a time! and we made the flight.
And if you think that one sucked...you should look at the 1995 game when Nebraska made our undefeated team look like a HS team. The worst beatdown I have ever taken as a fan.
The next year just made it so much sweeter as semenhole fans clowned us about losing to Nebraska. Mr SFB Mickey Andrews even bragged about learning so much from Nebraska after their 24-21 regular season win in 1996. Blobby Bowden, yes Blobby, knew his team was screwed when we were awarded a rematch in the Sugar Bowl. Some of them will live to be 100 years old and still be pissed about losing on January 2nd of 1997.
I'll see you that game and raise you the 2005 Orange Bowl where OU got curb stomped 55-19 by the fighting Reggie Bushes.
That Sugar Bowl is my favorite game of all time. I HATE FSU. (actually just the fans.)
When we played LSU for the natty in the 2004 Sugar Bowl I almost got my face rearranged for chirping back "Gator Bait" at them.
I am all in for Miami losing.
The only time I have really pulled for Alabama was when they played Miami for the NC.
Johnny Majors was a helluva coach. Damn if he had had Fulmer's payroll then....wow.
Yep ole Stallings retired right before the hammer came down on Bammer.You picked the right team then
Majors and Johnson were both on Broyles staff. I believe Johnson even spent a brief time under Majors. What killed me was Broyles never brought up the tie-ins between himself and the two coaches. AND I don't recall anyone b!tching about Broyles or Jackson. Both class acts.
Bebes followed the 'I don't want to know' model when it came to boosters. Most SEC coaches did the same, including most at UT.
SEC Commissioner Roy Kramer went to what school?
Maryville college. Coached at Central Michigan where he won the 1974 NCAA div II NC and was AD at Vandy.
LOL. What was it 18 total years of probation on and off? TPTB loved them some Bryant or it would have been a whole lot more. Dubose wasn't there but for a short time. Shula and Curry were clean as far as I could tell. Former was a dud but Curry was treated badly at Bammer.
LOL. Nothing like the beauty of them Tennessee Hills.
Yes we paid heavily for the Mike Hamilton hire. Stupid tax as they say. Didn't get it turned around until Danny White came to town.
And what year was he inducted into the Tennessee Sports HOF?
Yes Bryant was buying players, Roy Adams and Phillip Fulmer were the clean ones.
Irrelevant. Your implication was that he was a UT homer and crooked. Now you may be right about the crooked part because he was inducted into the rammer jammer yellow hammer HOS
Based on the Adams/ Young rivalry I would say no. I've been told Bryant admitted to stuff in a book.
Stalling was a piece of shit. The look on his face when Spurrier undressed him in the SEC title game was priceless after another bomb over his DBs. I've never hated Bamer, but I sure as shit hated his ugly mug, as well as Fat Phil Fulmer's. It's a shame you have to live with the legacy of Junior and Lulu, that is hilarious. 😂
We never beat out Spurrier for any recruit he wanted. Only one we did was Justin Smiley. He turned us in over that and even Richie J said there was nothing there. Fulmer never did either and Spurrier never turned him in either.
Wow. 2023? These days with the portal and NIL, how the hell does anyone cheat? That takes some initiative! 😂We never beat out Spurrier for any recruit he wanted. Only one we did was Justin Smiley. He turned us in over that and even Richie J said there was nothing there. Fulmer never did either and Spurrier never turned him in either.
In 2011 Tenneesee basketball coach Bruce Pearl was busted cheating by the NCAA and hit with a 3-year Show Cause.
In 2023, SEVEN Tennessee football coaches (SEVEN) were busted cheating by the NCAA and hit with Show Causes.
Hmmm curious.
Show cause was for lying to NCAA not the impermissible BBQ attendance by recruits. This was going to jail for committing perjury over a jaywalking ticket.
LOL that would be Jeremy Pruitt and crew. Alabama alum and former Alabama DC. UT turned him into the NCAA in 2020, fired him for acting like a bammer ( 60K passed out in chick fil a bags) and being an inept inbred who couldn't win even while cheating. He is from Rainsville, LOL, Ala. Yeppers a town where it rains. Must have been some wizard of smart ancestor of Pruitt's to come up with that name.
Not the most attractive couple but they look like decent folks.
He is leaving out some info. The violations were in 2020. If the NCAA was a fire department whole towns would burn down before the first firetruck would make it out of the garage.
Yep, Golden was till he was promoted to assistant coach.
Bama was just WAY ahead of the whole NIL program 🤣You picked the right team then
