Why doesn't florida voodoo effect anyone other than the vols

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pretty sure it's just that diluted nonsense y'all call "orange." You don't even compensate with some other color, like a nice blue.

  1. That actually does look kinda nice.

  2. Orange and Blue? Rent-free, man. Rent-free.

I once decorated bookmark orange (vols) and blue (peyton era colts) for my mother and she threw it away because it was gata colors

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Poor kid. You never had a chance.

I grew up with pan-southern parents who went to a school without football (go Ospreys!) and would have a hard time figuring out who to root for in most SEC and half of ACC games. My mom never did quite understand how undergrad trumps grad.

For anybody wondering...

The nickname "49ers" derives from the fact that the university's predecessor, Charlotte Center of the University of North Carolina (CCUNC - established in 1946) was saved from being shut down by the state in 1949 by Bonnie Ethel Cone, when the Charlotte Center became Charlotte College.

Good start from Florida. Hoping I can bail on this thread pretty early and just have a blowout on in the background (famous last words?).

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Jesus, Aaron Murray. Yeah, it could have been worse, but 16 points against an AAC team is not "offense played great." Child-barking nincompoop.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Well, Florida seems to have found a kicker, at least.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

DAMMIT MERTZ!

Okay, actually "dammit depleted OL," but that's less fun.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Hey, did Mertz's guy make the tackle or affect the play? No? Sounds like a (dangerous) successful block to me.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Ugh, so many fairly simple concepts throwing these Gators for a loop. Hoping this is just a hangover game and they pull it off, but I feel obligated to pay attention through the whole thing now.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

A QB is eventually going to get seriously hurt on this Jalen Hurts nonsense. Feels like Teddy Roosevelt is spinning in his grave.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Not a pretty win. Still, I guess 3-1 going into UK is as good as I realistically could have expected. Go Gators.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Pearsall with a hell of a catch.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Gators not super efficient in the red zone. Gonna be a problem as the season goes on.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Kinda wonder why Charlotte's running QB wasn't getting more reps. That old-school pitch option is also giving this old-head flashbacks.

[–] wjrii@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Oh great. Charlotte feels like they're in it now.

Fuck. Just don't block each other, dingleberries.
