Re: [gatortalk] Debose sighting!
As usual, quick to come to Randoo's rescue: Here are the coordinates of where Steve parks his car: N 29 degrees 38.615'; W 082 degrees 21.755'. The next time you want to party with Steve and friends just punch that in and push 'go'. When you get to this spot, look to the south (don't forget the compass feature on the GPS). That wet spot is Lake Alice. And, get off of Steve's car. A. Leon Polhill, Gator "I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.

Re: [gatortalk]
It ceases to be amusing when the announcers quote Addazio as saying he has the 'best' offensive line since he's been at UF,game after game,after game.Then the "O" line does absolutely ZILCH in protecting Brantley,or opening holes for our woefully inadequate running game.Tonight was yet another example of how SLOW the offense is at the start of a game.Calling plays for little or no gain mixed with atrocious tackling once again were our downfall.It seemed that whenever Brantley got on a roll,Addazio called a lame play that blew out that candle!It's obvious that neither Meyer nor Addazio are using Brantley's strengths in this offense. The 'good' news is that we can still get to Atlanta by beating South Carolina,Georgia,Vandy.

RE: [gatortalk] Talk about the fake FG
Ken, It sure looked like the holder had his right knee on the yard line. He flips the ball over his head and you could not see exactly where his hand left the ball. However, when you look at the replay, you are able to see his right leg on the yard line. The ball appeared to hit on the yard line. Consequently, the ball must have left his hand behind the yard line-thus a forward pass. I will grant that there could have been a parallax error there but the camera angle looked dead on. That being said, it should have never gotten to that point. Jerry From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ken Kirkley Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2010 11:14 AM To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Subject: [gatortalk] Talk about the fake FG I am never one to complain about the refs, as I believe they are human (at least most except the Childress crew) and are apt to err from time to time. If you play well, generally any officiating mistakes don't come into play. I have seen a lot of people complaining about the fake FG, there are several issues with the call: - since the holders knee was on the ground and no kicker behind him, was he down? - if it was a backwards pass and it hit the ground, why was the kicker able to advance the fumble on 4th down? - was it a forward pass that hit the ground? As to the holders knee on the ground, that is legal. The rule states that it is okay if you are simulating a kick. While you could interpret that has a kicker must be there, it is accepted as once you line up and snap the ball with the kicker in position, that satisfies the simulating a kick requirement. The second point, a backwards pass is different than a fumble. While a fumble can only be advanced by the fumbler on 4th down, a backwards pass is deemed a loose ball and can be picked up by anyone on the offense. Was it a forward pass? This one is close and is probably the best place for Gator fans to argue. The rules state that when in doubt, it is a forward pass. Here is the rule: Forward and Backward Pass ARTICLE 2. a. A forward pass is determined by the point where the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond the spot of the pass. All other passes are backward passes. When in question, it is a forward pass rather than a backward pass when thrown in or behind the neutral zone. I don't think you can look at the replay and tell definitively, you would have needed a camera exactly along the line of the pass to determine. You can google parallax error to figue out why the camera angle we saw wouldn't necessarily be accurate. It does look like it was forward slightly and the ref should have ruled so initially, when he didn't there wasn't enough video evidence to overturn. Unfortunately, this call didn't go our way. This same play was used against us two years ago and we should have been in FG safe, especially on a 54 yard kick, especially on the edges. A block of a kick that long will come in the middle, the kick will come out low and quick. The guys on the edge had to hold contain, they weren't going to block the kick. I blame this on the coaches, just like Kirby Smart was jumping up and down for the jump pass last week, I was yelling at the TV to watch the biggest gambler in football and the fake.

I am never one to complain about the refs, as I believe they are human (at least most except the Childress crew) and are apt to err from time to time. If you play well, generally any officiating mistakes don't come into play. I have seen a lot of people complaining about the fake FG, there are several issues with the call: - since the holders knee was on the ground and no kicker behind him, was he down? - if it was a backwards pass and it hit the ground, why was the kicker able to advance the fumble on 4th down? - was it a forward pass that hit the ground? As to the holders knee on the ground, that is legal. The rule states that it is okay if you are simulating a kick. While you could interpret that has a kicker must be there, it is accepted as once you line up and snap the ball with the kicker in position, that satisfies the simulating a kick requirement. The second point, a backwards pass is different than a fumble. While a fumble can only be advanced by the fumbler on 4th down, a backwards pass is deemed a loose ball and can be picked up by anyone on the offense. Was it a forward pass? This one is close and is probably the best place for Gator fans to argue. The rules state that when in doubt, it is a forward pass. Here is the rule: Forward and Backward Pass ARTICLE 2. a. A forward pass is determined by the point where the ball first strikes the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond the spot of the pass. All other passes are backward passes. When in question, it is a forward pass rather than a backward pass when thrown in or behind the neutral zone. I don't think you can look at the replay and tell definitively, you would have needed a camera exactly along the line of the pass to determine. You can google parallax error to figue out why the camera angle we saw wouldn't necessarily be accurate. It does look like it was forward slightly and the ref should have ruled so initially, when he didn't there wasn't enough video evidence to overturn. Unfortunately, this call didn't go our way. This same play was used against us two years ago and we should have been in FG safe, especially on a 54 yard kick, especially on the edges. A block of a kick that long will come in the middle, the kick will come out low and quick. The guys on the edge had to hold contain, they weren't going to block the kick. I blame this on the coaches, just like Kirby Smart was jumping up and down for the jump pass last week, I was yelling at the TV to watch the biggest gambler in football and the fake.

Re: [gatortalk] We battled
Someone told me once...you can recruit the best players in the country (which I think we got some of those in the past 2-3 years), but without good coaches, they're just players on a field!!! That's what's happening right now...IMHO Wanda - Original Message - From: "ala...@gatorzone.com" To: Sent: Saturday, October 09, 2010 10:32 PM Subject: Re: [gatortalk] We battled I'm sorry, but if the coaches are at fault it is because either they didn't recruit good enough players or they didn't develop them as much as they should have. If not either of those two reasons, it is because our healthy players are just not as good as the lsu players. as of now, you have to think we lose against fsu on the road and the USC and Georgia games are unlikely wins. i wish we were/are better, but the fact is, we are just not good enough to overcome our injuries.
