Florida sign takes incredible shot comparing Tennessee to FCS team
Even with both teams in rebuilding mode with relatively new coaches, the Florida-Tennessee rivalry continues to burn. A sign that made its way around The Swamp on Saturday speaks to that rivalry.
“Tennessee is UT-Martin’s practice squad,” was the sign that at one point was held by Albert, the Gators’ mascot.
Florida no doubt chose UT-Martin because the Gators beat that team in Week 2, 45-0, and followed up another victory over the Vols two weeks later, 34-3. Florida’s now on a three-game winning streak in the series, and leads the overall rivalry, 29-20. Florida has won 14 of 15 in a rivalry that used to be among the most nationally recognized in the SEC, and usually settled the SEC East race some 20-plus years ago.
The 4-0 Gators are really feeling their oats with a game against Towson this week before Auburn comes to town on Oct. 5. The Gators then get LSU and South Carolina before the off week ahead of Georgia. Barring a major upset, Florida should remain in the top 10 of the polls for a while as the Gators look to get key players back from injury including C.J. Henderson and Kadarius Toney.

Well Florida didn’t actually look to good against Tennessee. They were getting beat on defense against Tennessee’s offense. Florida turned the ball over several times against that UT Martin practice squad. Tennessee just couldn’t score they gave that game to Florida. By no means should Florida be in the top 10 and that will show when they play Georgia and get embarrassed I mean Kentucky almost beat them last week.
Georgia certainly did not rollover ND at home. You were down at the half and hung on to win. Maybe Rodrigo can try another fake!
Hahaha and ND is a a good comparison to Tennessee how exactly?
Hook em horns!
Tennessee gave us the game!?
Lol yes they did they’re poor coaching gave Florida the game
Oh okay. I thought coaching and scoring was part of the game. Glad Tennessee gave us the game. Real nice of them.
If your a top ten team how are you gonna turn the ball over as many times as Florida did to Tennessee.
Didn’t Georgia have 2 turnovers versus Murray State?
Not 4 or 5 times they didn’t
Do they not teach you the difference between your and you’re and their and they’re at Georgia? Dear god
I’m guessing you are new around here. You sound like a troll trying to make the fanbase look bad. Keep the dumb comments to yourself. If you watched last nights game then you would have seen that the Dawgs didn’t look like world beaters. No need for you to concern yourself with where Florida is in the polls.
Never said they did. And I’m not a troll I’m just stating facts it not my fault that people get their feelings hurt over facts this isn’t a “safe space” it’s reality and if people can’t handle some college football talk then they don’t need to be on here
What you call facts is just your stupid opinion
Just like there’s no need to concern yourself with the facts i present if they are going to hurt your little feelings @dirtysouth
@cojones keep thinking that wait till y’all play a good opponent
That has nothing to do with fact vs your opinion
Well, Tennessee gained 239 yds and scored 3 points against Florida.
Murray ST gained 284 yds and scored 17 points against Georgia including a first quarter TD. Starting QB went 20-25.
And that’s exactly what I just said Tennessee couldn’t score but they moved the ball. But that’s fine you will see when Florida plays an actual sec team
Florida has actually played 2 SEC teams. And in the 1 SEC team Georgia played, they gave up about the same yards, 225 to Vandy and gave up 6 points. How are you going to win the championship when you let Vandy move the ball like that?
Almost loosing to Kentucky? Not exactly a great win I mean it’s Kentucky. Like I said you will see where Florida stands after they play teams like auburn or Georgia
Also never said we will when the championship but in the sec east it’s Georgia and that’s it for right now. And that’s a fact
**win
I’m not sure if you know what the word fact means, but bygones….
@gator out west. you will know what the word fact means when Florida plays an actual good sec opponent
Name the actual good SEC opponent you have played
And again, your so called facts are your stupid opinion
Learn the difference
@cojones you will see how stupid it’s about to get when y’all play a good opponent. UGA is about to play sec games for the rest of the season and we will run the table in the east
Another Georgia moron who can’t stay away from the Gator page.
First it was UK that gave us the game and now it’s UT. You forgot about Miami, they also gave us a game. Guess in that vein you idiots gave that bowl game to Texas
FYI it’s better to receive the game than to give it away
What’s funny is the caption of this post is epic troll job on FB but it seems a lot of people are crying about so called trolls in the comments
Yeah if Miami gave you a game that’s sad to lol
I don’t know how in the world any could say that UT gave UF the game when we won 34-3 without trolling or being plain dumb. I could say that UF gave UGA the game last year. Doesn’t make it true. Also idk if you know what facts are. Stating your opinion and calling it facts make you look really dumb or like a troll. Either way take your pick
“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.”
No matter how many times the Gators turned it over, the game was never in doubt. Tennessee didn’t give the game to Florida. Florida’s defense took it away from them. Know the difference.
Kirby sharted again! Couldn’t close it out. More boneheaded decisions in the clutch and has to hope Notre Dame would just blow, which they did. Florida will play much better than ND. UF owns the leg humpers. 21 of the last 29. Enjoy your two game win streak, moral victories over Bama, and offseason championships. Three more years of this and you’ll be begging them to fire Richt 2.0.
If you post on Florida article and they are not your team you will automatically be considered a troll
Lol funny so I’m guessing the “new” definition of a troll is just simply stating facts? Get out of here. Y’all need to check your feelings
And I’m pretty sure we can post on any articles we want. Don’t get me wrong Georgia needs a lot of work to. I’m simply saying we are the best in the east and if that hurts your feelings then go check the polls and your feelings. That goes for even the Georgia fans
You can post wherever you want, and plenty of your kind post stupid and obnoxious stuff here. And I will call you out for the obsessed morons you are every single time
He’s on your side you half wit mutt.
Again with the ignorance of calling opinion fact
Not true but if you post over the top stupid things to incite the fanbase that is the definition of trolling
Your side has plenty of those, stupid obnoxious trolls that is
Lol ok like I said on your previous statements you will find out what I’m talking about when y’all play a good sec opponent
You mean like LSU? Oops! I guess you won’t have to get curb stomped by them again this year. They’re not on your schedule. Maybe you’ll get another chance at the Big12 runner up after Kirby blows it again this year.
I find it funny that Florida lives rent free in the heads of UGA fans.
I mean when UGA fans are consistently the first ones to comment on articles about their rivals, it just speaks volumes.
Just the facts. LOL
Well if I was Florida I would try to keep UGA out of our heads as Long as possible to lol
Just the facts LOL
You wouldn’t know facts if they hit you in the face
And Georgia lives rent free in Dan Mullen’s head rent free year round. He couldn’t keep UGA out of his mouth before the season started
To all you haters out there, last time I checked, you can’t be better than 4-0.. i googled it..
Can someone please post the score from last years “Cocktail Party”? That way we can make this moronic post complete. If you like you can post the scores from the last 30 years of cocktail parties. And remind me, in that same timeframe how many Nattys, or Eastern Divisions, or SEC’S UGA won ?
Yes Florida use to beat Georgia almost every time we played. Specially when urban Myer was there and we had to put up with talks talk too all of the years. Now the tables have turned and I actually wish Florida was good enough competition for UGA so it could be exciting as it use to. Btw it was 36 to 17 last year if you must know
**yalls talk
Hook em horns
And 42-7 in 2017 if you were wondering
You do realize you just posted 3 times in a row on a Gator page and nobody had any posts in between. That means your talking to yourself. Maybe you’d have more friends to talk to if you were #1 on the UGA posting board or #2 you had any friends to start with. Talking to yourself is not very healthy and is actually a form of disfunction. Seek some help.
Lol.
@tailwhip apparently you are blind or just can’t read but there are several of you Florida fans crying because your butt hurt.
It’s “you’re.” I’m demoting you to the eighth grade. Speaking of butt hurt, I think Kirby is a pillow biter. He has an estrogen glow to him, like a pregnant lady.
His boobs are swollen and his double chin is getting more pronounced. I wonder when he’s expecting.
Always looks like he’s going to cry. That third trimester is tough!
39 years in that time clemson and florida have won 3 to your none uga you sorry as hell with all those top recruits nothing ray golf
I’d bring that up to if my team played as bad as Florida has the last 3 or four years
I can’t help it. uga@sec please do yourself a favor and just calmly go to the uga side. Your a couple of posts away from being thoroughly handled.
In the last four years UF has won the east twice won at least 9 games three times and is coming off a top 6 finish and NY6 bowl. Facts. Like those are real facts not my opinion which I state as facts. Man you are dumb.
*win
UGA@SEC your drivel reminds me of UGA’s drooling. I played in the Rome area against some of Nick Hyder’s West Rome teams in high school, was recruited by UGA before playing for a smaller school (realized I wasn’t SEC material) and have had several members play for UGA so I have a good insight into the school and it’s culture neither of which you represent. I like UGA and their fan base and you’re the type who gives them a bad image. You probably never played the game and most likely never matriculated to Athens. While I can understand your frustration having to witness teams from your bordering states capture 22 NC’s (23 if you count GT) during the past 39 years while UGA was the perennial bridesmaid it’s no reason to post the moronic missives you have above. I’m happy for my many friends and family that are dawgs as they seem to be headed in the right direction with their program. However, most of them have the wisdom to temper their remarks unless and until their team wins a NC as they realize that having the best talent doesn’t equate to winning as Florida demonstrated during the 70’s and 80’s. IMO Jawja is a level below Alabama,Clemson and Oklahoma right now being about on par with LSU. Yes they may look better than the rest of the SEC east right now but I’ve got the feeling they are going to stub their toe on either Auburn, Missouri or Florida before the seasons end. Now be a good puppy and go lick yourself where most dawgs do and quit bothering these fine folks! Bless your heart you probably weren’t raised right and poor breeding always shows itself.
meant to say “
family members “
why don’t you lickem? or would you rather pet them first.
Funny when I mention real facts he disappears
Uga@sec….please stop and…..it’s getting rediculous. Don’t become a Co jones. Next thing you will be calling them morons.
FYI, I only call your half brothers morons when they come to the Gator page and post over the top, obnoxious and stupid comments. And you won’t find me posting on a Georgia article insulting your team, coach or fans. Big freaking difference, that if you can’t discern then you are a Moron
@ so called Salty……..You are a$$hole Plain and simple salty swallower. Tired of being at playgrounds watch for prey? Your allegiance says it t all. I hope you die a long painful death. You are no one to advise anything. Suck your own lizard and satisfy both cravings.
What a well thought and succinct response. Your profanity laced reply demonstrates an exceptional command of the English language of which your DI at Paris Island would be proud. Feels like I hit a couple of nerves. If you in fact went to Jawja then you’re the poster child for the issues Jan Kemp tried to correct.
BTW res ispa loquitor on the breeding comment….thanks
Wishing someone to die on a sports blog is way over the top even for a Georgia moron
You idiots need to get a life, make some friends and get out of the trailer a little more
This exchange made my morning. TDOW is the true moron. I originally thought the posters on here from uga were just a drunken bunch of imbeciles but I stand corrected you are right in calling their stupidity.
TDOW is most definitively a moron but in this case I was replying to UsmcDawg who was defending UGASEC. Either way Georgia seems to never run out of morons. When corch & TDOW take a rare break from posting on our side in comes these two jerky boys to take up the slack
Most obnoxious fan base on SDS
The goofy-lookin’ gator is dead wrong here.
They’re more like Sewanee’s practice squads.
Florida owns the overall rivalry 29 to 20??? How can that be, according to my GatorbaitorU compadres only the last 30 years count…must be a typo
