Let's go Gators.

I got it on the radio while I fix a few things around your mom's house.

Let me say: I just watched the second half of Arky v Bama. And I knowed Bama was going to win that game, because I can recognize a whining loser bitch when I see one, and the one I saw is named Ryan Mallett. What a butt-punk. Zero leadership presence.

Football-hating poofs.

my thoughts after having watched the game on DVR this afternoon:

- tre burton reminded me alot of tebow when after scoring, he'd point, with both his hands, up at the sky...tebow did that too and they kinda do it the same way...burton DOES run a lot like tebow does except he obviously has more 'shiftiness'...burton doesn't obviously have the same 'boom' tebow had but burton has some pop too...burton had that run (left to right on the tv screen) where he ran a sweep left and took on 2 guys and a third dragging them to the sidelines...as far as the running style, they both have that 'shifty' style of running from the hips down...demeanor-wise, kinda reminds me of percy...always smiling and exudes confidence...not like an emotional leader like tebow was...more of a like calming affect which is just fine...i think the SEC will have to account for this kid on every play he's in

- i like gillislee between the tackles and i like demps on the edges...moody's like the jack of both trades but master of none kinda back...he needs the open space but can't get to the edge like demps can...perhaps more swings or check down passes to moody in the flat to free him up....i really like gillislee though

- will hill has some big feet and he brings it...i really liked major wright when he was here because he brought it and supported the run so well despite the role of being a deep centerfielder...hill just closes so quickly and he's aggressive supporting the run...he's like wright but taller, faster, and a tad more pop in his hits

- what happened to debose? they were kinda showcasing him early then i hadn't heard from him the whole second half? did he get hurt or did burton take his touches? in either case, we have like 3-4 harvins on the team right now...this could get crazy.

- we're blitzing on like every play...i like it actually...austin/heater looking to put their footprint on the program and how we defend...i like it...i just hope that the DCs don't over-do-it

- i think locke is a great back...between him and cobb, they did a great job despite the lopsided score...locke doesn't shy away from contact and he plays strong between the tackles...100+ yards against this defense is to be applauded

- anyone else see brantley do the 'chris-leak-pirouette'?

- i really like bostic...he's sticky and plays his position very intelligently

- pouncey did much better snapping...i'm noticing his snaps to be more consistent to brantleys hands...a couple low but for the most part, they were up in brantleys hands...he'll be fine.

- seeing the second stringers was nice too...i like elam in our future...he has major wright-size and brings it just the same...i hope he gets to see the field more for experience.

- hilapio had a solid game...he's finishing all his blocks to the whistle.

- anyone else notice the low line drive kickoffs? is that by design? looks like a half chip shot type kick...is that for more control? more power? one kickoff out of bounds though but overall, somewhat effective...i say it because the line drive gives less time for the coverage team to get downfield...thoughts?

i hope he helped him up...i don't think he did though

I think he just asked him if he was okay.

Didn't get a chance to see most of the game, saw some of it on Sunday morning.

I like our chances against Bama a little bit more now, but I still think they're going to cream us.

I don't think they are going to cream us...I don't think Arky is all that and they barely pulled that one out. I think we could play at least as good as Arky, which to me means we have a chance.

Their QB, O'fuckhead or whatever his name is, started stupid and ended steady. Ingram bashed Arkansas; I cannot help but think we have better players. O'fuckhead put a hurting on us last December.

I thought Mallett looked whupped from early in the fourth quarter. Whining about every hit, bitching at the refs -- he looked like a guy who'd been losing all day.

I didn't see that Will Hill hit but I can't imagine any player "trash talking" after doing something like that...especially to the guy in the wheelchair! And this is Kentucky, not FSU! IN ANY CASE, if he did anything other than ask the guy if he was okay and helping him up, he should be kicked off the team.

Will Hill also screwed up an interception in the end zone where he knocked jenkins on his ass who easily could have interecepted OR if Will Hill had been looking, he could have gotten the ball himself too.

Will Hill is on my husband's shit list right now for some reason. He blew up at that play.

I haven't heard a serious suggestion that anything was amiss, so I am not sure why we're commenting on it. There's a guy on Swamp Gas purporting to be the wheelchair guy, FWIW, and he says no harm no foul.

Will Hill has a job to do.

according to Meyer, Debose had the plays early scripted for him due to having done well in practice last week. Why they didn't call any more for him later is a mystery.

I was already pissed at Will Hill for walking away after he LEVELED Jenkins. But then tackling the wheelchair dude and not helping him up? Jesus. This guy needs to get his head out of his ass.

It was probably the best moment of the dude's life.

Being on the sidelines comes with risks and it occurred far away enough from the line of scrimmage that Hill needed to hustle to get back to the huddle, IMO. I ain't mad at him.

The "crippled" guy posted this:

1) presuming someone had to be pushed to the spot just because they use a wheelchair and refering to them as "crippled" rather than "disabled" are demeaning and pitiful statements. I got to the spot by myself and got back into the wheelchair after the collision by myself.

2) Will Hill attempted to avoid the contact by hurdling AND came by post game to make sure I was okay.

Kind of sad and weak attempts at humor.

and this:

I only saw him at the last moment (and yes wide eyed). I was watching the reciever to see if he got a foot down WITH the ball. I've been down there 30 years and have always avoided that kind of collision. Happily, the wheelchair seat is only 20 inches from the ground and the turf at Florida Field is natural, so no big deal in terms of impact. hill, of course, was trying to avoid me and that helped.

and this:

Nope. I really just do the home games, but haven't missed more than three or four of those since 1979-80. It should be a great one!

There are some real assholes in that thread, though.

Off to do some trolling...
