Video: CBS Sports’ Verne Lundquist recalls the time when Georgia celebrated with the ‘Gator Stomp’
Published:
“If you don’t get an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, we’re going to run the stairs tomorrow.”
That’s what then-Georgia coach Mark Richt told his group of young men prior to the team’s annual rivalry matchup with Florida back in 2007, hoping to motivate the Bulldogs after losing five of the last six meetings with the Gators.
Immediately after Knowshon Moreno’s first-quarter touchdown that gave UGA an early 7-0 lead, the entire Georgia team emptied out into the end zone to celebrate and mock its blue-and-orange comrades.
Legendary SEC on CBS broadcaster Verne Lundquist sat down to reminisce about the unforgettable moment at EverBank Field in his weekly “Story time with Uncle Verne” video. Just like the rest of them, this is a must-watch.
