Why did Jimbo get the Gatorade bath?

[Gaylord Focker]

Has FSU fallen so much in 2 years that a win against this UF team is worthy of a Gatorade bath?

That's embarassing.

If UF beats Bama for the SEC title next week.. (LOL....not going to happen) that would be a Gatorade bath worthy game. FSU beating this UF team?

I mean.....I guess thanks for the compliment....but really?

 

[Dr. Nole]

...

 

[DLinOrlando]

Because he stunk and needed a bath?

 

[AvgNole]

Because its your arch rival on the road and at the time im sure some of those kids still thought fisher to lsu was possible. Dont say this Gator team like you guys suck. You have a top defense just a bad qb.

 

[METSWIN]

Because he was signed and sealed to LSU, Auburn, UGA, WVU, Texas, etc. and was not coming back?

I don't recall any UF coach getting a Gatorade bath after any win over FSU except for Spurs for the NC.

What exactly did this game mean?

 

[MJWilliamson]

This leads me to wonder, have we ever given a coach a gatorade bath after a regular season win?

 

[AvgNole]

This game meant knocking you out of having any chance of the college football playoff. If you beat us then beat bama you would have been in the top 4. So yes this game meant a lot and coming national signing day it will mean something as well. This game always means a lot.

 

[DallasTDi]

So this never happened?

Photoshopped?

 

[METSWIN]

Zook in his final game in Tallahassee. I was 1 for 1 in my search.

 

[MJWilliamson]

So, we have done it at least twice, both @ FSU.

Criticism of the players doing that for Jimbo is probably not warranted then. Especially given that Florida was and will remain FSU's best win.

Then we should be thankful. There is NO WAY we should be in the playoffs this year. I have not thought so over the last 4 games.

Yeah, he was a fired coach and the players loved him.

The 2012 game had Championship implications with our win.

That's a hilarious picture.

 

[AvgNole]

LOL...good 1

 

[METSWIN]

Our players love Jimbo and he was leaving for LSU.

 

[danoleman]

Probably because no other FSU coach has won 3 straight times in the swamp.

 

[boomer74]

Really?

 

[MJWilliamson]

There is that.

I think any "sod game" is worthy of a bath:
http://www.seminoles.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209577474

A "sod game" includes any road victory where FSU was the underdog. I know we were favored by Vegas, but UF was ranked higher. I think any victory in Gainesville automatically qualifies as a sod game.

All those sod wins that were vacated, what did FSU do with the grass? If FSU had any integrity, they would have treated those sites with Round-up.

The original sites?

 

[Countygator]

Any win over UF should be celebrated by the noles. When you are the stepchild you need to get your lovin any chance you can...

 

[mblomstrom]

Fallen so much? 10-2. Good logic. I guess when you go 4-8, phrases like "fallen so much" is commonplace

For uninformed;

Florida State was forced by the NCAA to vacate 12 wins. Some of those are in the Sod Cemetery, the collection of soil samples doubling as FSU's trophy collection of road wins. Someone brilliant might, if they were so inclined, sneak in and properly note these victories with an asterisk. Someone like Will in Tallahassee, for instance.

Following the NCAA’s decision to strip F$U of 14 wins my law clerk and I "updated" the Sod Cemetery to reflect those "wins". Let me know if these come through okay.​

Oh, they came through fine, Will. Just fine.



Click the jump for the full asterisking:








Outstanding work in the field, Will, both behind enemy lines and executed with the deep smartassedness ingrained in the true Florida fan's best work. Beers shall be complimentary from this point forward, sir. ONE THOUSAND COCKTAILS TO YOU.

It was a water bath too.

 

[sadgator]

Not sure about the reason for the Gatorade bath, but we all know that the Fishers have a history of getting wet around Gators.

[djegators]

Why? Little brother, that's why.

 

[MJWilliamson]

Igloo, I think that has been covered.

 

[alaskanseminole]

Igloo, I think that has been covered.

well, poop...I missed SPN's post.

 

[MJWilliamson]

If I did not know any better, I might think SPN and others are over here mocking us and our coach.

Noooooooooo.........

 

[SoProudNole]

I was answering the OP's question. And quite succinctly too. But, OK. I see how it is.

I'll be a bit more delicate for you MJ.

 

[MJWilliamson]

You might note that one of your posts was deleted since I made my comment. But then again, you might not notice that at all. If not, then that says one thing. Or even if you do note that, you might understand what it means. If so, then that says another thing.

We will leave it up to you to decide.

 

[SoProudNole]

Sure I noticed. It means someone wasn't a fan of the picture?

 

[MJWilliamson]

Then trying to "be a bit more delicate for you MJ" should not be your top priority when posting here.

 

[SoProudNole]

LOL. You think I've got multiple priorities I'm considering when I post?

 

[MJWilliamson]

LOL. You think I've got multiple priorities I'm considering when I post?

You probably should have at least one. And my sensibilities would not be the most important one.
