The Record of Wrongs: Florida Gators

Hear ye, hear ye. It's Time. Time for Tennessee Volunteer fans to gather for the ceremonial reading of the Record of Wrongs, a litany of the offenses committed by the Florida Gators. Get a cup of coffee because this will take awhile.

Star-divide


Urban Meyer . . .

Dates and scores

  • 1991: Gators 35, Tennessee 18. Ron Zook stole a portion of Tennessee's playbook.
  • 1993: Gators 41, Tennessee 34. Redshirt freshman Danny Wuerffel's first start for the Gators.
  • 1994: Gators 31, Tennessee 0. Wuerffel scores on four of his first five possessions, giving the Vols their worst home loss since 1924.
  • 1995: Gators 62, Tennessee 37. Wuerffel scores seven TDs on seven consecutive possessions.
  • 1996: Gators 35, Tennessee 29. Peyton Manning throws four interceptions and loses a fumble on a sack.
  • 1997: Gators 33, Tennessee 20. Wuerffel leaves, Manning returns, Gators still win. Manning, who lost a total of nine games in his Tennessee career, lost to the Gators four times.
  • 1999. Gators 23, Tennessee 21. Alex Brown dons an invisibility cloak and sacks Tee Martin five times.
  • 2000. Gators 27, Tennessee 23. The "Gaffney Game."
  • 2002. Gators 30, Tennessee 13. Casey Clausen fumbles on four consecutive plays in a downpour.
  • 2005: Gators 16, Tennessee 7. Tennessee suffers a special teams debacle in Urban Meyer's first season.
  • 2006: Gators 21, Tennessee 20. Tennessee rushes for -11 yards.
  • 2007: Gators 59, Tennessee 20. Utter dishumiliarrassment. Gators players accuse Tennessee players of quitting.
  • 2008: Gators 30, Tennessee 6. Florida gives Tennessee a chronic allergy to the red zone.

Probably not true

  • Urban Meyer is secretly harvesting the chins and lips of orphaned children.
  • Tim Tebow is Gene Simmons' concert double.
  • Brandon James thinks banana-kitten smoothies are divine except for the fur.

I'm certain I've missed some. Whatcha got?

To be fair to Meyer, telling Snead that Tebow would be a linebacker has shades of grey to it.

After all, lots of linebackers get switched over to tight end once they arrive on campus.

ESPN cranking up the rhetoric

ESPN is calling Lane’s comment about “singing Rocky Top all night long after we beat Florida” a ‘guarantee’.

I swear, ESPN is like the kid that runs back and forth between two other kids, embellishing comments to make them sound like they are making fun of each other in order to increase the chances of a fight. “Ooooh, you know what so-and-so said about you? You gonna take that?”

Florida has won 12 of the last 17 against the Vols. I think it is funny Kiffin’s tame comments have created such a firestorm. As if FL was not going to try and stomp the Vols before Kiffin let fly the ‘cheater’ comment.

However, if Meyer leaves Tebow in the game during a blowout in order to embarrass 18-20 year old kids, I would not be surprised to see Chris Walker gives him a little late helmet-to-helmet tap.

Ball, oskie, cover, block, cut and slice, pursue and gang tackle... for this is the WINNING EDGE.

I keep hearing this, and then I keep remembering back to last year where Meyer declined to try to run up the score on his team’s final drive, and it makes me wonder why that keeps getting repeated.

Well in 06...

Meyer almost hung 60 on the board and if memory serves correctly the starters were still in in the 4th quarter.

So in order to run up the score, you have to try to score on your FINAL drive...

… the rest of the game is irrelevant. OK, I see now.

You’re right – C.U.M. does not run up the score on Tennessee.

As if there was no bad blood between these two teams already?

That’s a laughable comment.

Urban also told Jesse Scroggins that we were a renegade program

annnnnd his players are costing the tax payers of Florida lots of money by having the magic number of 24 arrests in 4 years.

'94

Similarities are jarring…Florida was #1, we were 1-1 having lost to UCLA, and played a quarterback (Todd Helton) that didn’t do us any favors. Subsequently, we lost 31-0.

How about their penchant for jorts? Definitely a wrong.
