S.E.C. Snob

Is this the guy McShay was talking about regarding character issues a couple of months ago?

"look in the mirror and think about what you did in your 20s" You're absolutely right. Man, I must've been REALLY drunk back then! I can't for the life of me remember whether I was a two-time national champion Heisman finalist face of the program or not.

Add to that the fact that ".596" is not a percentage, as written in the story (the clue is in the word "perCENT"). He should've written "59.6%" as you did, and said 4 tenths, as Jay wrote. /pedant

And Willie Snead's dad is a former Gator, as well.

"Character issues" such as...? Oh, I forgot. It's not real journalism. It's sports, where you can slander without evidence.

Such a terrible loss to his family and friends, who have my most profound sympathy. But it's also a big loss for all of us who love college football, which just got a bit less entertaining. We need more Mike Leaches, not fewer. Good for him that his last game ever was an Egg Bowl win.

I hope with all my heart he pulls through. College football would be a much poorer place without him.

I’ve enjoyed watching him play in person this year, and I must say I am thankful for the rule that has the ref hold up play to allow for substitutions. Without it, Watson would be responsible for about 20 illegal participation penalties this season! Seriously, though, the kid’s a football player. Nobody really uses nose guards as such these days, but he serves very well that classic role of eating up blockers.

Still a long way to go for this team, but a second half shutout on the road is no mean feat, and could give the team some much needed confidence. It was a pleasure to watch.

A compendium of internet idiocy passing for journalism. Keith, just stop.

I wonder if they got a bill from CBS for the goalpost camera.

Brilliant!

I think he means a true "road game", where you play at another team's home field. Under that definition, I believe Anonymous is correct.

"There could be another game or 2 like the 1 against Tennessee" Apparently, the ghost of Prince wrote SDS's style guide. If their goal is to distinguish themselves from professional sportswriters, they have succeeded.

I got barked at by a lot of supposed adults during his heyday, but he was always a class act. I'm very glad to be saying "get well soon" instead of "R.I.P."

FFS, please… stop!!!

“Budding” is apparently a euphemism for “unknown”.

Perhaps you should read the story again. Nowhere does he insult college players. In fact, he sticks up for them.

I'm not afraid of them. It's the folks waiting in long lines for $12 beer-flavored water that I'd worry about!

Cut halftime down to 12 minutes like the NFL.

Pretty wild finish. I actually thought we’d pull it out, but Tennessee was smart rushing six on the last play. Worked out for the best, I suppose… I’d hate to see an entire city on suicide watch! Congrats to Tennessee. Heupel’s got you heading in the right direction. Very well played game.

They really do have good chicken. Some locations have even started carrying Nashville style.

Kliavkoff also pointed to UCLA's increased travel as harmful to their "climate neutral" goals. If they choose the planet over football, there's nothing anyone can do to help these people.

All this “storm the field” talk reminds me of when it happened after Florida lost in Starkville many years ago. After the game, Spurrier said something like “I don’t know why they stormed the field. It not like they beat a good team.”

My wife and I were walking across campus and ran across some Utes. We chatted them up and they said how wonderful people have been to them. Regardless of the outcome of the game, we were so happy that Southern hospitality won the day. It made us proud.

I didn’t watch a second of it, but I’m gonna be that guy and say: “It’s just one game.”

Just got back a few minutes ago. My ears are still ringing. That was one of the most exciting games I’ve ever watched in that stadium. The energy was unbelievable. The Utah fans were classy and seemed to really enjoy themselves. They all had their phones out recording the “Won’t Back Down” bit. I think we impressed them. This was so much more fun than starting the year with a cupcake.

Sorry to sound like the “get off my lawn” guy, but I don’t hear the next legendary voice of the next generation. Every time I turn on a baseball game it’s a pair of clones from the same school of sounding like Will Ferrell imitating Harry Caray. Harry, his son Skip, Red Barber, Mel Allen, Vin Scully, etc etc. They didn’t blind you with statistics and clichés. They talked to you. They painted a beautiful picture of the moment. All gone.

He had the great privilege to call some amazing games over 33 years. I wish him a happy and healthy retirement.

You know it's bad when commissioners actually want government all up in their business.
