Urban Myth Countdown

If you were respectful of everyone and their opinions, and presented yourself in a factual and polite manor, Id say you would last a very long time.


Lets compare though shall we.

Jabars catch--- a basic "judgement call", could go either way---I can see where you guys say, no catch, and i can also see where UF guys say catch, it was a toss-up. Also, i think that was 2nd down, so being on the goalline, im sure we would have gotten that yard and a half anyway, on 2 plays.

Last years no call----a clearly blown call, that was even admitted, that also stopped the clock, which it shouldnt have. The clock should have continued, there should have been off-setting penalties, play on, you guys take over at like your 20 or something, with about 25 seconds left.


Im not making excuses, we still should have one, we had our chances ((for about the billionth time) But i would like to hear your arguement towards this aswell, going on GSMB and saying what goes around comes around screw you guys hahahahaha, would probably get you ignored and piss everyone off...but if you do like i did, and tell it like it is, and be respectful, while having your fun and poking with them, youd be a "classy rival poster". go ahead and join, its a fun place.

OMFG Dude. Are you serious? A vol fan normally doesn't last 2 seconds at Gatorsports REGARDLESS of the way they present a damn thing.

Your "basic judgement call" was made by a Vandy grad. I wonder what kind of "judgement" he was using. Because even your ass of a headcoach admitted after the game that you stole a win.

Last year's "call" that you think was blown was not f'ing blown. When you slap the f'ing helmet of another player, YOU DESERVE A 15 YARD PENALTY. THAT'S THE DAMN RULE. GET OVER IT. The play clock was the F'up. NOT THE PERSONAL FOUL CALL. Damnit, learn football before repeating yourself 14,000 times with the same incorrect BS. Running the playclock was what was admitted as a mistake, not the personal foul call. If the ref doesn't see both actions, he can NOT call offsetting penalties. Had Florida picked up 1 damn yard, it wouldn't have mattered. Had Florida stopped a TRUE FRESHMAN QB, it wouldnt have mattered. Had Florida got a rush in on a low, 51 yard FG try, it wouldnt have mattered. Had Florida made thier own short FG attempt earlier in the game, IT WOULDNT HAVE MATTERED.

The great General Neyland used to say something that you need to learn, "Almost all close games are lost by the losers...not won by the winners." I know, I know, you have said it yourself. Well, if you TRULY believe it, then shut the hell up about the "blown call" that wasn't.

I won't get any more personal than that, but I have been to Gatorsports mulitiple times as a lurker and as a member. I joined as a non-afiliated member and have never been so offended by the treatment of "rivals" and the poor excuse for leadership that I have seen there. That's one thing that makes this site so great. They allow people like you and me to be here when a site like GS wouldn't allow a decenting opinion.

Before I read the rest of your ignorant post. IIRC, which I know I do, a vol player slapped Baker first...does he not deserve a penalty because hes wearing orange and white? also, there are some vol posters on GSMB, the ones that are classy and not there to cause trouble stay and are most welcome, learn what youre talking about before you post such stupidity....now, onto some more punishment in reading the rest of your post.

Umm...another thing, the ref was standing infrount of both players as both toook shots at eachother, this was caught on film..another excuse??

And when someone (the ref) says i blew the call, im sure theyre wrong b/c belway said so...afterall, he was only the ref who made the call...what does he know!

The ref didn't say a damn word. Bobby Gaston, the head of the officiating crew in the SEC said that mistakes were made, and when he said it, he was refering to the CLOCK STARTING.

FLORIDA LOST and WENT ON TO SUCK, and Guess what.....it wasn't your coach. You're gonna suck again.

Look at the replay...he was standing infrount of both of them and looking right at the play when the vol player hit baker...i guess he was looking at a pretty girl int he stands..im sure she was in the gator section though.

Claim: Walt Disney received a dishonorable discharge from the military during World War I.

Origins: In 1918, sixteen-year-old Walt Disney was eager to take part in the war in Europe but was too young to join the military. After a plan to enlist in the Canadian Army fell through, Walt signed up with the American Ambulance Corps, a division of the Red Cross, by lying about his age. In November of 1918, after the war had ended, Disney's outfit was shipped across the Atlantic to France.

Walt Disney was assigned to an evacuation hospital in Paris, where he drove trucks and ambulances and ferried military officers from place to place. In February of 1919, Walt and another driver were selected to transport a load of beans and sugar from Paris to Soissons, but their truck broke down in the French countryside during freezing mid-February weather. Walt dispatched his assistant to return to Paris via train while he stayed with the truck, but after two days of waiting Disney finally made his way to the nearest village in search of food and shelter. After sleeping for nearly a day, young Walt returned to the site of the breakdown to find that the truck was gone. (Disney's assistant, after taking time out for a two-day drunken binge, had finally notified authorities about the disabled truck, and it had been towed back to Paris.) When Walt returned to headquarters in Paris he faced a disciplinary board for having abandoned his truck, but the board found that Disney had taken reasonable steps to safeguard the vehicle and did not move to dismiss him from his volunteer duty.

The legend about Walt Disney's dishonorable discharge seems to have begun with the notion that he hung his release from the Red Cross upside-down behind his desk. Even though neither Walt's Red Cross release nor anything else was hung upside-down in his office, the rumor of the upside-down certificate somehow got started and was taken as a sign of Disney's displeasure with his experience in France; over time his volunteer duty with the Red Cross (a civilian organization) was mistaken for actual military service, and his release was transformed into a dishonorable discharge. Thus arose the legend that Walt Disney had not only been dishonorably discharged from the military, but that he was proud of it -- so proud, in fact, that he hung his dishonorable discharge on the wall of his office for all the world to see on his weekly television show. (The "office" depicted in Disney's television broadcasts was merely a soundstage mock-up, however -- his real office was never shown.) The apocryphal story of Walt's dishonorable discharge spread widely and was even repeated on official tours of the Pentagon and told to recruits in basic training. Some versions of the legend included the detail that an influential congressman had offered to "fix" Disney's discharge and turn it into a honorable one, but Walt declined the favor.

Why people believe that Disney would have been proud of a dishonorable discharge is rather puzzling. In the closest thing Walt left to an autobiography (The Story of Walt Disney, putatively written by his daughter Diane), he spoke only positively of his time in France: "The things I did during those eleven months I was overseas added up to a lifetime of experience. It was such a valuable experience that I feel that if we have to send our boys into the Army we should send them even younger than we do. I know being on my own at an early age has made me more self-reliant . . ." Presumably Disney's image as a creative and inventive artist seemed at odds with the conformity required by military service, and people believed Walt was proud of not having fit in with such an organization. As the legend of Disney's dishonorable discharge grew, the incident with the abandoned truck in France was dredged up as the reason for the discharge.

Alright Beltway...enough of your stupidity. I didnt think someone could be more stupid then you were, but you disproved that alltogether. Enough small talk though.

LETS MAKE A BET.

YOU make the terms.

UF/UT game

Whats it gonna be beltway?

UF wins, I kick your ass.

UT wins, I kick your ass.

Sounds good to me.

Oh, but damn, the legalities of me kicking the ass of a 12 yr old, damn, nevermind, I guess it's a good thing I was joking.

As for a "real bet", I don't bet on message boards unless you wanna put something REAL up.

By the way, quit calling me stupid. It might get you banned, even from the softies here, since it does violate one of the few rules they have on how to treat others. I'd just hate it if I came on here and you weren't around.
 
#213
#213
Im not 12!

As for something real...im not putting up $ because i know if UF wins you wont send it, and i know if UT wins, you think i wont send it..so thats not fair.

Got anything else?

Gatorville, that guy was nothing but a walking personal foul. He lost a TD for you in the Peach Bowl.

I'm a man of my word. If it was a money bet, and hell froze over and TN lost, I would send it. Not directly to you however, I'm not that stupid. I would send it to someone on here that would act as an intermediary, and let them send it to you. That way you couldnt come on here and cry that I never sent it.

However, now that you have admitted you are not a man-boy of your word, then there's not a chance in hell I would bet with you. It's like I told you a few weeks ago. If we bet that we would change our sig, you just wouldn't show back up, and if you did, you'd change your name. I knew you'd do that because I saw your lack of character.

Okay, let's get back to some football talk before this "softy" closes the thread. Take it to the PM if you all wanna call each other names..

Thanks for the edit OWB. I tried to steer it back on track, but damn I'm so bad at that sometimes. :)

Don't close it on his account though, you know thats what he wants, and we have to keep the countdown alive!!!! :thumbsup:

Howd I admit I wasnt a man of my word. I said you would THINK I wouldnt send it, you might wanna re-read that. And I dont know how to make it any clearer, Ill be back here W or L, and if we did bet on our sig, I would def. change it. Thats how bets go. Im down for any bet you wanna put up and if UT does win, ill most def. give you whatever the bet was.
 
#221
#221
And if I dont show up (which i most def will) then you get your wish of me being gone anyway...so wheres bad for you?


But once again, Im a man of my word, Id give you what you won if UT won, period. How you dont realize that I dont know. But Im here insisting that we make a bet, and youre, i guess too scared to do so. Man, beltway, i love your confidence in the vols.

Ok, as a neutral observer to this whole thing, I recently had a few revelations:

1) No bet is ever going to be made between these respective parties. Neither trusts the other, and it is doubtful that a wager would be honored. It's just too easy to say "screw you" and not honor it even if your team loses the bet. The fan that gets to gloat about his team's victory will find that the sheer bliss of being able to rub in a big victory over his rival on this board is the only bet needed. Besides, G-Ville would probably have to ask for an advance on his allowance, and that might stir up the tension in the G-Ville household.

2) G-Ville: Don't talk about respect and being civilized as a poster, and especially don't talk about any Gator board being associated with such words. I've been to Florida field several times, and have run across numerous Gator fans, some of whom are my best friends in the world. "Respect" and "civilized" are not two words that come to mind when I think of Florida, its fans, or their message boards.

3) The infamous "catch/no catch" and "Wade/Baker Incident": They both happened, and they're both history. College football is full of drama and imperfection. Although I'm still angered about the Gaffney call, the truth is that UT shouldn't have kicked 4 or so field goals instead of TD's, and their pass defense shouldn't have let Florida get all the way down the field in the closing minutes to set up the Gaffney catch. By the way, I'm now officially calling it a catch, because no matter what, it is scored in the record books as a TD catch. Similarly, Florida shouldn't have squandered a first and goal in the 3rd quarter when they missed a FG and came away with NOTHING. They also should have stopped Ainge from effortlessly completing two passes to set up the game winner. Bad breaks are a part of every game. It just happens that UT's was on a missed Extra point that would have tied the game anyway. We won last year; it's over.

4) The whole reason for Beltway's thread here is to poke fun at UM because of the ridiculous expectations and deification the Gator fans have thrown at his feet. It's a joke, (and a funny one at that) and it makes it even funnier that after every Beltway Urban Myth post, G-Ville gets mad and wants to make a bet. If you want to argue G-Ville, argue why Urban Meyer will succeed this season and meet the unreal expectations that fans (and the media) have placed on him. Argue how/why Meyer will beat the more experienced Vols and their more veteran coaching staff. Don't just say, "you wanna bet?" That type of behavior is why Beltway guessed you were 12 years old. (For the record, I'll take the under on 15 years old; but then again I'm not the betting type . . . )

5) Can we talk about football again?

Just a few observations.

Well, when it comes to the deification of UM, I think I've heard it all before, his name was Saint Ron Zook.
 
#225

I've got news for ther Gators. Zook wasn't AS BAD as the thought he was. The problem is with the players and their attitude. "It's a Florida thang."

The attitude problem "SEEMS" to be changing down there, but just wait till they fall behind, or god-forbid they lose a game. It will be all downhill from there. Zook had a honeymoon period too, where he seemed to be a "great recruiter with a disciplinarian apporoach".
