College football 2020 offseason thread

Biggest fight I've ever witnessed was at least 100 drunk as a skunk people wailing on each other in a parking lot outside the Gator Bowl ... at 7:30 a.m. before the 1978 Cocktail Party. After the game was over, there were people passed out all over the stadium. It looked like mass casualties from the Civil War.

 

Like the Presidents and Chancellors truly give a fuck what Trump thinks. Sounds more like a courtesy call Warren had to take so he will leave them the fuck alone.

 

Story quotes Trump as saying they’re metaphorically “on the 1-yard line,” but it didn’t say whose 1-yard line. Are they a QB sneak away? Or do they need a miracle?

 

Before my parents bought a house in Ponte Vedra and moved there permanently, they had a beachfront condo there. This would be in the early '80s. One year, the rented it out for a handsome sum for the weekend of the Florida-Georgia game. When they arrived for the season a month or so later, the washing machine and dryer (!?) still reeked of bourbon and there were liquor stains on the kitchen ceiling.

 

It was at the Gator Bowl where Jim Lampley got busted for smoking a joint in the press box elevator

 

So, just a sobfest? They must have been drinking whine.

 

When Tom Terrific Trump Supporter is calling the shots...99 yards is a sneak.

 

I've always wanted to go see "The Cocktail Party".
Don't know why. No dog in the fight with Florida or Georgia......just seems like it's a lot of fun, a lot of alcohol and some pretty damn good football.

 

Every time I see that .gif, I crack up.
I mean just the sheer "AH.....YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER" anger.......then the picture perfect form.......it's like he spent the last month bowling with Earl Anthony.......and then the ref under the basket racing to him to administer the tech.......that has to be Eddie Hightower......then the whistling of the chair as it heads straight towards Bobby McFee.,.....student photographer for the Daily Hoosier.
I just love everything about it.

 

Wonder how many hundreds of times he did that on the very same floor in practice.

 

Dog in the fight! Very nice.

The rickety old stadium was in a rundown part of Jacksonville (if that's actually possible) and the whole town stunk from the pulp paper mill on the Saint Johns River. There wasn't much to do other than drink and fight.

When Vince Dooley threatened to pull the game out of Jax, the city finally agreed to rebuild the whole thing and eventually clean up the area. With the Jaguars, some of the shenanigans have been toned down. I did cover one of the Gator Bowls in the late 1990s and the whole Jacksonville Landing area was a huge upgrade.

I don't know how much more "civilized" the WLOCP is, but Jax has tried to manage a lot of the public drunkenness and brawling (bawling for Slacker?) that earned it the title way back in the 1950s. Still, you will see some of the most vulgar T-shirts of bulldogs doing terrible things to alligators and vice-versa. And someone WILL hand you a drink of unknown origin and proof if you happen to walk by. It is worth putting on the bucket list.

My youngest brother is the generation that considers UF-FSU as the big rivalry. My middle brother and I hate losing to Georgia way worse. (He was in the Gator band when Herschel and the Dawgs crushed UF, 44-0.)

I was in the motorhome at a Georgia State Park campground for last year's game. I just ran the AC on high until the woofing stopped around midnight.
