I thought the call was close. I saw the replays and on one of the angles it looked like he was stripped of the ball before the ball “broke the plane” of the goal line. However, none of the angles were definitive. The official on the field looked to be perfectly placed on the field to make the call. I don’t think the video evidence was definitive. I find it hard to argue that both officials were “clearly” in error. Unfortunately, I erased the game so I cannot revisit the replays. I do remember that the network tried to make it out as a poor call by using some sort of a composite image, but they could not account for the angle of the camera. In horseracing, the camera is placed exactly on the finish line. The cameras were not on the goal line on Saturday.

For the second week in a row, the Gators find themselves in the middle of an officiating controversy after again coming out on the favorable side of a judgment call by a Southeastern Conference official that led to a UF score. On Sunday, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen, UF's former offensive coordinator, lashed out at SEC officiating after what he believed was an incorrect call that resulted in a fourth-quarter touchdown for the Gators during Saturday's 29-19 victory in Starkville, Miss. On Saturday night at Scott Field, Florida led Mississippi State 22-13 with less than nine minutes to play when UF linebacker Dustin Doe intercepted a deflected a pass and returned it for a touchdown. Doe, who began celebrating before he reached the end zone, was stripped at the goal line by Bulldogs receiver Brandon McRae. McRae recovered the ball in the end zone after a line judge signaled a Florida touchdown. After a lengthy review, an SEC replay official upheld the touchdown. Mullen said he spent early Sunday morning reviewing the play and determined, in his opinion, that the replay official missed the call. ``There's no excuse for a guy who has the amount of time to replay the video to make sure they get the call right,'' Mullen said. ``That's why we have instant replay, and I think it's embarrassing that they blew that call. I've seen still shots of the ball out of [Doe's] hand. I don't think that's acceptable on a [replay] guy that has the ability to watch all the different angles.'' --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve

Here’s the first one: Florida’s red-zone woes continue, the Gators turn the ball over a few times on offense, give up a few plays on defense, and the Bulldogs spring the upset, dashing UF’s national title hopes. Part of this scenario would include Joe Cox having all kinds of time to throw and consistently moves the Georgia offense without the benefit of much of a running game. It also includes the Bulldogs stuffing UF’s usually reliable running game. This could happen, but I’m just not feeling it. What I am feeling is scenario two: The Gators come out and avoid the red zone altogether by hitting some long scoring plays early in the game, including a TD bomb from Tim Tebow to Deonte Thompson. Once the Gators get the early lead, they’ll start playing with confidence and the red-zone problems will disappear, and then this team will start playing like everyone thought it would coming into the season. Defensively, I see UF stifling the Georgia offense by shutting down the run, then harassing Cox all afternoon. A.J. Green will catch some passes, but the Florida defense is going to play one of its best games of the season. This is a Florida team that is loaded with talent but hasn’t played up to its potential yet. It’s going to happen sometime. The Gators are going to put together a complete game and the results will be very impressive. I just have a strong feeling that it’s going to happen in this game. Prediction: Florida 34, Georgia 10 Comments 1 Comment 1.. October 30th, 2009 1:22 am SCENARIO TWO IS WHAT WE ALL ARE WAITING FOR.

Exactly what he says ... Original Message Subject: [gatornews] [SUN]: Spreading the wealth [Andreu]From: Shane Ford go.ufgator...@gmail.comDate: Fri, October 30, 2009 8:18 amTo: gatorn...@googlegroups.com Spreading the wealth Doug Finger/The Gainesville Sun Buy photo Florida's Deonte Thompson moves upfield during the first quarter against Mississippi State in Starkville Saturday, October 24, 2009. By Robbie AndreuGainesville SUN Staff writer Published: Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. Last Modified: Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 4:30 p.m. The basic concept behind the spread offense is not just about spreading out. It's also about spreading the ball around to make opponents defend the entire field. Based on the numbers through seven games, the Florida Gators have been less than efficient with the spread-it-around aspect of their offense this season. Three players have gotten the majority of the touches. In the running game, quarterback Tim Tebow has 121 carries. That's 11 more than the top two tailbacks (Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps) combined. In the passing game, tight end Aaron Hernandez and wide receiver Riley Cooper have combined for 60 receptions, while the next four receivers have combined for only 28. It doesn't add up to spreading the ball around. "It's not like we're not (trying to spread the ball around). We are," UF coach Urban Meyer said. "We just have to execute it and do it. Absolutely (we want to spread the ball around more)." In the past, Meyer's spread offense has always been its most efficient when the ball is being distributed to numerous playmakers. The Gators did an excellent job of spreading the ball around last year in their national championship run. UF had five players with 57 carries or more, and nine players with double digits in receptions. The distribution made it difficult for teams to just focus on two or three players. Of course, having Percy Harvin in the mix helped create opportunities for the other playmakers. Without Harvin and wide receiver Louis Murphy in the lineup (both are having an impact in the NFL this fall), the Gators have seemed reluctant to go away from their top three producers — Tebow, Hernandez and Cooper. But Tebow and offensive coordinator Steve Addazio both say that's not the case. They say where the ball goes is determined by what the defense is doing in terms of coverages and blitzes. "(Spreading the ball around) is something we try to do," Tebow said. "So much of that is based on the coverage. We're not going to say, 'We're going to throw to Riley here and D.T. (Thompson) here.' If (the defense) is doing a certain thing, we'll go to Riley. If it's something else, we'll go to D.T. It's hard to game plan that." Tebow said Cooper turned out to be his go-to receiver in last Saturday's victory over Mississippi State because the Bulldogs were covering him man-to-man most of the night. "Riley was one-on-one, so he got more catches," Tebow said. "If they had played more cover two (in the secondary), maybe it would have been D.T. and Hernandez getting more of the double looks. That's how the game plan was. It depends on what the defense is doing." If it's dictated by the defense, then opposing defenses have been directing the ball to UF's top two receivers all season, because Cooper and Hernandez have been the only consistent Tebow targets through seven games. Despite more disproportionate numbers than a year ago, Addazio said there is no fundamental difference in this offense and last season's. "We're calling the same plays," Addazio said. "There are no different plays being called. It's the same pass routes, the same combinations. Where the ball goes is based on what the coverage is. I'd like to tell you there's something different, but it's not. "It's playing that way right now (where Cooper and Hernandez are getting the bulk of the receptions). Certainly, we're real conscious of wanting to utilize everybody we can utilize. So that's gotten a lot of attention. But it's falling that way right now, with no intent, other than Riley Cooper is a hell of a receiver and Aaron Hernandez is a hell of a receiver. But we've got other good receivers, too. "It's not a conscious thing to say, 'Let's just work with these guys.' Absolutely not." Even though the Gators seem to be relying on only a few select playmakers, UF continues to lead the SEC in rushing offense and total offense. The offense has been efficient between the 20-yard lines. "We're doing a lot of good things," Addazio said. "Our play-action (passing) is tremendous, our running is tremendous. Our running game is consistently up there. So, we're moving it well in there. There are a lot of positives." The negatives have come in the red zone, where the Gators have turned the ball over recently and have scored only two touchdowns in their last 15 trips inside the 20. The main offensive focus deep in the red zone has been Tebow lining up in the shotgun and running up the middle,

I'll go out on a limband say that we are reverting back to the way things are done in high school football. You have only a couple of good players and all you do is get those 2 or 3 key players involved and they do everything. Whereas Mullen would probably get on Tebow if he was not spreading it out enough - Addazio is fine with it.

[gatortalk] Tim Tebow - One more story
A friend forwarded this to me: * Tebow the person (from a bulldog) (1 vote) Hello, I am a lifelong Mississippi State fan and have no strong feelings negative or otherwise towards Florida. However, a dear friend of my wife had an encounter with your quarterback Saturday morning. She has what could very easily be a terminal brain tumor. She is leaning on her faith in the Lord to get her through this and no matter the outcome, she is being extremely positive. She is only 26 and is having to deal with her own mortality. I can't imagine it is easy. Anyways, she has a live journal documenting her treatment and everything involved. She has a list of famous people she would like to meet or talk to before she dies. These include Oprah, Rick and Bubba, and of course Tim Tebow. She is from nearby Columbus, MS and noticed a bunch of charter buses outside the hotel in town. She thought she would go in and just see if that was the Gator team. Turns out it was, and she ran into their strength and conditioning coach in the lobby. She explained her situation to the coach and even took off her hat to prove it. She said all she wanted to do was meet Tim. The coach said 'give me five minutes.' Five minutes later, she was ushered to a small conference room. When she opened the door, there was college football's golden boy Tim Tebow. Tim was very glad to meet her. He spent a good fifteen minutes talking to her about her treatment and her faith in God. I believe he even took a picture with her. I say all of this because in this day and age it is amazing that a Heisman Trophy winner, with two national titles and another possible one on the way, took time on game day to share a moment with a dear friend of ours who is dealing with a terrible illness. That is amazing. You guys have a great team. A great coach and great players everywhere. Your qb is phenominal and if at all possible this goes to further prove that he is an even better person.

I haven't seen that kind of love for a Gator player since Wuerfel and even then it wasn't on the same scale as it is now for Tebow. Living in TN I have tons of Vols fans as friends, imagine that? :-) Any way... There is very few of them that just can't stand Tebow.

Here's the first one: Florida's red-zone woes continue, the Gators turn the ball over a few times on offense, give up a few plays on defense, and the Bulldogs spring the upset, dashing UF's national title hopes. Part of this scenario would include Joe Cox having all kinds of time to throw and consistently moves the Georgia offense without the benefit of much of a running game. It also includes the Bulldogs stuffing UF's usually reliable running game. This could happen, but I'm just not feeling it. What I am feeling is scenario two: The Gators come out and avoid the red zone altogether by hitting some long scoring plays early in the game, including a TD bomb from Tim Tebow to Deonte Thompson. Once the Gators get the early lead, they'll start playing with confidence and the red-zone problems will disappear, and then this team will start playing like everyone thought it would coming into the season. Defensively, I see UF stifling the Georgia offense by shutting down the run, then harassing Cox all afternoon. A.J. Green will catch some passes, but the Florida defense is going to play one of its best games of the season. This is a Florida team that is loaded with talent but hasn't played up to its potential yet. It's going to happen sometime. The Gators are going to put together a complete game and the results will be very impressive. I just have a strong feeling that it's going to happen in this game.

[gatortalk] FW: [gatornews] [SUN]: The Chalkboard --- Perks kept Florida-Georgia from moving to Atlanta [Crabbe]
Where do I go to claim my parking spot? Oliver Barry CRS,GRI Real Estate Broker Bob Parks Realty 1517 Hunt Club Blvd Gallatin TN 37066 Phone: 615-826-4040 Fax: 615-822-2027 Mobile: 615-972-4239 Perks http://chalkboard.blogs.gainesville.com/11672/perks-kept-florida-georgia-fr om-moving-to-atlanta/ kept Florida-Georgia from moving to Atlanta by Nathan Crabbe http://chalkboard.blogs.gainesville.com/author/crabbe/ (Gainesville SUN) Atlanta officials made a push to lure the Florida-Georgia game from Jacksonville, but were apparently thwarted by new perks given to the school up north. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports http://www.ajc.com/sports/uga/how-jacksonville-kept-the-178006.html that the president of the Atlanta Sports Council lobbied Georgia's athletic director to move one game out of four to the Georgia Dome and leave the others in Jacksonville. But the city of Jacksonville responded with new perks that will keep the game there through at least 2016. I certainly understand why they'd want it: This game produces tremendous exposure and economic impact, Jacksonville Mayor John Peyton told the paper. But I never viewed [Atlanta's interest] as a serious threat. To make up for the extra travel costs incurred by the Georgia team, Jacksonville will start paying next year for three private 50-seat planes to fly the Bulldogs directly from Athens to St. Augustine and back after the game. The value of the perk is estimated at about $120,000 per year, according to the paper. Other reported changes to the contract include Jacksonville reimbursing each school $50,000 toward the costs of hotels and meals, boosting each school's parking allotment to 1,500 from 1,000 spaces and giving the schools more of the proceeds from marketing rights. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Here's another reason to hate Georgia. One could think of many reasons to hate them: Lind. sorry, I can't type the rest of his name. 1942 and Frank Sinkwich, the end zone dance, etc. But, since the evil butt sniffers are complaining about Urban Meyer calling time out last year, let's look at 1968. The Gators were infighting over two different quarterbacks. We were playing lousy. It was raining hard and with a few seconds left to play, while the butt sniffers were ahead 48-0, Vince Dooley called a time out so that one of his linemen could kick a field goal and run up the score to 51-0. I was at that game, dressed in a Boy Scout uniform. Our scout troop had volunteered to usher. Do I want to hang 50 on 'em every chance we get? Oh yes, Come On Gators!!! Beat Georgia!

[gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] [Jacksonville.com] Florida Gators' Strong should be a head coach
fyi-there's a headline on ESPN.com about a rumor about Charlie Strong as coach of UGA. You have to be a subscriber to see the story On Thu, Oct 29, 2009 at 4:07 PM, Badrish Davanagere dbadr...@gmail.comwrote: Florida Gators' Strong should be a head coach - By Gene Frenette http://jacksonville.com/authors/gene_frenette - Story updated at 6:34 AM on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2009 If Georgia and everybody else in the Southeastern Conference is looking for a way to cut into Florida's league dominance of the past four seasons, maybe they should begin lobbying football programs with potential head coach openings to promote the most overlooked coordinator in the country. You want a better shot at knocking off the Gators? Then start networking to get Charlie Strong out of Gainesville. Put the word out that Florida's defensive coordinator has been bypassed long enough. Because frankly, the longer Strong is allowed to keep recruiting and developing players for the Gators, the more likely coach Urban Meyer might have a Spurrier-esque dominance in the SEC. Meyer's spread offense gets the headlines, but the element most responsible for UF's championship success is Strong's defenses. Remember what Bob Stoops did for Florida as its defensive coordinator from 1996-98, finishing in the top 20 in total defense each of those years? That landed him a plum head coaching job at Oklahoma at age 38. But here's Strong, 49, the architect of the nation's current No. 1-ranked defense and coordinator on units that were the foundation of two UF national title teams (2006, '08), still waiting for that call-up. You want to know why LSU, Arkansas and Mississippi State couldn't beat Florida despite so much ineptitude and generosity from Meyer's offense? Because the players Strong is responsible for molding into a stout defense put opponents on lockdown. On Saturday at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium, it'll be Georgia's turn to figure out how to find cracks in Strong's defense, which is elite in every significant category - total defense (No. 1), scoring defense (No. 2), rushing defense (No. 12), passing defense (No. 2) and third-down percentage (No. 2). It begs this question: Why has Strong not landed a Football Bowl Subdivision head coaching gig, or worse, never been offered one? Contrary to common speculation, not every successful African-American coordinator who fails to ascend is the victim of racial discrimination, though the numbers (seven black head coaches among 120 FBS schools) are deplorable. Some well-qualified white coordinators have also been denied a promotion. But in Strong's case, he isn't just a successful coordinator who happens to be black. The boss of UF's defense has arguably the most impressive college resume of any coordinator out there. So why have other ex-UF coordinators like Stoops, Ron Zook, Larry Fedora and Dan Mullen landed head coaching jobs, all with great or respectable programs? Yet Strong has been rejected by, among others, Minnesota, California, Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech? This past offseason, as another hiring cycle passed, Strong publicly wondered if schools might take issue with him having a white wife. That's all speculation. Who knows why Charlie Strong, who received no raise from his $310,000 salary despite holding Oklahoma's high-powered offense to 14 points in the national title game, can't get a head coaching job? What I do know is, as long as Strong is running the Florida defense, Urban Meyer and the Gators will be tougher to beat. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

One could think of many reasons to hate them: Lind… sorry, I can’t type the rest of his name. 1942 and Frank Sinkwich, the end zone dance, etc. But, since the evil butt sniffers are complaining about Urban Meyer calling time out last year, let’s look at 1968. The Gators were infighting over two different quarterbacks. We were playing lousy. It was raining hard and with a few seconds left to play, while the butt sniffers were ahead 48-0, Vince Dooley called a time out so that one of his linemen could kick a field goal and run up the score to 51-0. I was at that game, dressed in a Boy Scout uniform. Our scout troop had volunteered to usher. Do I want to “hang 50 on ‘em” every chance we get? Oh yes, Come On Gators!!! Beat Georgia!
