Thank You Gator Seniors ! :wave:

Note: The Gators Senior Roster should be complete. If I have overlooked any Senior my sincere apologies to them and their family. Any errors will be corrected asap.

Also, my suggestion is that all Gators should be in their seats at BHG at least 45 minutes before kickoff. Out of honor, respect and thanks to these great guys our attention should be on their introductions as they enter The Swamp for the last time wearing the Orange and Blue! You know the last thing you want are late arrivals at BHG passing in front of you as you're trying to focus on this grand ceremony.

As always and forever, It's Great To Be A Florida Gator ! :wave:

[TampaGatorFan]

My prediction...

UF 38

FSU 10

Don't know about the second half, though... :D

[Nubla]

[co_gator89]

Time to send another FSU senior class out the right way. Winless against UF.

[RayGator]

The 2009 Gator Seniors have never lost to FSU ! :)

[SnapSlap]

Can't wait for the last home game of the season!

[GatorLaw]

This is the game I hate to lose more than any other. I just can't stand the gloating from their obnoxious, petty, stupid fans when they win. And this year maybe more than any other, they'd sell their souls to the devil to beat us - wreck our NC hopes, end our consecutive wins streak, move us out of the #1 spot we've held since preseason, and end our undefeated season. I can't offhand think of an FSU game when they've had more to win and we've had more to lose than this one. I'm seriously thinking of taping it and not watching until I know we've won. I just don't think my heart could handle watching live if the game is close.

Relax and enjoy the game...we're gonna smash the 'Noles!

[Zitheral]

Thank you Tim and Seniors!

Work em silly!

GO GATORS!

LAW, if this was one of those '90's FSU teams I'd be sweating bullets, but they aren't. FSU is a shadow of one of those '90's teams. As I said in a couple of other poats about this... there's UF, Bama, and Texas... then there's the rest of the top 10... then the rest of the top 25... and then the .500 or below - .500 teams, where FSU is.

Sure, we have a lot to lose, but FSu simply isn't good enough to take it away from the Gators this year. I just can't imagine FSu coming into The Swamp with an inexperienced freshman QB and one of the nation's worst defenses and pulling off the win.

Not to mention that Tim Tebow and Brandon Spikes will be playing in their last home game, and let me say this now... those two play their best games when they're fueled by emotion and against arch-rivals.

And now FSU's Greg Reid runs his mouth and give UF even more motivation?

Honestly, FSU is walking into a buzzsaw Saturday. This will be a beat-down.

Thanks. All logic tells me you're right, that it's inconceivable that we'd lose to this sorry bunch. I guess I've just seen too many crazy games in this rivalry to feel completely comfortable.

[Bazza]

I think this game will be closer than many think.

GO GATORS!

[jshaas]

Hi does anybody know what the pregame festivities inside or outside the game are going to be? Thanks

[The_Graygator]

I think this game will be closer than many think.

GO GATORS!


No, it won't be.

[The_Graygator]

The Gator Walk will be on University Ave. 2 hours before kick off. The police usually cordone off the street in front of the stadium so just line up on the street (or ask someone along the sidewalk), and you'll probably be able to catch a glimpse of the players' arrival.

Get to your stadium seats a little early too, about 40 minutes before kick off to make sure you can see the seniors be introduced, especially Tebow.

[intimigator1]

I say only this....Caribbean Rum. RESPECT.Gator WIN! and GO GATORS! No WORRIES!

[The_Graygator]

I keep hearing from nolies in tally how FSU is going to pull the upset Saturday.

Aint... gonna... happen.

These two teams are practically the same teams as last year and UF waxed the nolies on their own home field by 30 points, and last year they had Christian Ponder and a pretty good defense.

This will be the biggest mistmatch along the LOS between these two teams we have seen in years, in Florida's favor.

We had just as much to lose last year AND we played them in Tally.

[g8rfan22]

Thank you to all the Senior and the Juniors who will be leaving. Gator Nation will miss you all!

-Go Gators!!

[GatorLaw]

We had just as much to lose last year AND we played them in Tally.

Close but not as much. Last year we didn't have a significant consecutive wins streak going, we weren't undefeated, and we weren't #1.

[The_Graygator]

True LAW, but all the same titles were still on the line.

Also, last year, FSU actually had one of the better D's in the country statistically-speaking. They don't this year. They had an experienced QB in Ponder, who tossed three picks and was then replaced by Weatherford. They had veteran WR's last year, but again, they have recievers that seem to be able to only run simple timing routes.

They don't have any of that this year.

I know, I'm not worried about a win. I just said they have more to win and we have more to lose in this game than in any other game in the history of this series. That doesn't mean they'll win, it just means there's a lot for them to play for.

[Jaggator]

I just hope EJ Manuel doesn't turn into the "Rooster."

[Gators15]

Seminoles == 4th straight Gator Bait for our Seniors! :grin:

[gatordynasty]

Got my eyeblack, ready to watch the Gators Chomp the Spear. Interesting note for anyone looking (probably too far) ahead: Texas faced its first 300-yard rushing quarterback in A&M on Thursday, the defense gave up 500 yards. I can think of a 700-yard rushing QB that might enjoy playing against that defense.

[ovillegator]

...And this year maybe more than any other, they'd sell their souls to the devil to beat us - wreck our NC hopes, end our consecutive wins streak, move us out of the #1 spot we've held since preseason, and end our undefeated season...


You're safe. They have no more soul to sell. :devil:

[ardentgator]

1961 UF 3 FSU 3 * guess the significance*


First time SOW didn't lose to us?

[Stewie4Governor]

what time are senior introductions?

[GladesGator80]

OK, got all my honeydews done, Let's Get It On!

[Gatorgal04]

Here at the Swamp for my first game here vs FSU. Was at the "Soak at Doak" last year, but this is the first rivalry game at home. Team just entered for warmups to BIG cheers and applause.

[Gatorgal04]

Nole band coming out to do a pre-game. Big boos!

[Gatorgal04]

It's the "Pride of the Sunshine" for the joint playing of the anthem!

[GatorAbe7]

Bobby still using the "I think we're close" line, when it comes to Florida comparisons.

[phillyblount]

Time to kick some nole hiney!


LETS GO GATORS!!!!

[canadian_gator]

i might actually cry

[phillyblount]

that lead guy for cbs....what a dousche

[phillyblount]

should have kept the script on the helmets IMO....maybe white helmet with orange script?

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Crap, I'm missing the start because of friggin' Duke/Wake!!!!!

[GatorAbe7]

What a wonderful ovation for Tebow. He deserves it

[EbSaxman]

Hebrews 12:1-2 (King James Version) - Tebow's Eye Black

1. Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

2. Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

[GatorAbe7]

Nice run Demps

[GatorAbe7]

First Down James, creating extra yardage there. They gave him a huge cusion.

[phillyblount]

love our ST

[GatorLaw]

Great kick, great catch by Wondy.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Great play Haden!!!

[GladesGator80]

Great openfield tackle by Joe Freaking Haden

[GatorAbe7]

where is ev'r'body?

[orangebluegator]

Interesting...I thought we'd go for the punt block.

[phillyblount]

im here.....present.

Spikes allmost had manual for safety if not for chop block.........Brandon read it perfect.

[phillyblount]

oh and yes....nice tackle by j effin haden

[phillyblount]

love the crowd....theyre booing that whorechant....just like in 91

[GladesGator80]

Did Verne say earlier that Nixon was the first freshman to start at left tackle since 1972? I thought Lomas Brown did it in 1980.

[gator_ch]

This is my first time being here during a game.

[Bazza]

Just logged on.....like to see a TD this drive.....LET'S GO MEN!!!!!!!!

:grin::grin::grin:

[dredugator]

Holy cow. I taught the FSU punter when he was in 7th grade...

[GladesGator80]

If they can't stop the dive their toast.

[GladesGator80]

Man we got all day to throw the ball.

[rjGator]

TD!

[GatorAbe7]

TD Hernandez, he wasn't even running hard and he left Mickey's D in the dust!

[GladesGator80]

How's that blocking for you Gary?

[rjGator]

7-0 UF.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Nice play Hernandez!!!!

[GatorLaw]

Hernandez, yes!

[orangebluegator]

Emotions have officially died down. Time for work gentlemen. More scores and more stops.

[phillyblount]

ahhhhh the hernandez shovel pass........eat it noles, eat it!

[Bazza]

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!! :grin::grin::grin:

[Dreamliner]

Just tuned in in time to hear that our O-Line has been getting whipped by the worst defense in FSU history.

Then the passes to Coop and Hernandez.

Oh, and love the uniforms!

[Dreamliner]

Greg Reid gets the better of us there.

[phillyblount]

Just tuned in in time to hear that our O-Line has been getting whipped by the worst defense in FSU history.

Then the passes to Coop and Hernandez.

Oh, and love the uniforms!

lol.....gotta love the commentary

[GatorAbe7]

The tackling looks really solid today. No problems taking down speed in the open field, no problems wrapping up.

[Dreamliner]

lol.....gotta love the commentary

Uh, just echoing what I heard. And statistically this probably is FSU's worst-ever defense.

[phillyblount]

Greg Reid gets the better of us there.

oh well....thats all they have hopefully........they're not gonna get sh-t when we punt to them!

[intimigator1]

Bowden just trips me out. He walks the sideline and acts like he's talking to someone other than himself......can't fool us though. Oh and I cannot wait to look on the sideline and not see Mickey spitting all that crap from his mouth........retirement is good.

[oneatatime]

the crowd is already causing Manual some problems. INT time!!!

[orangebluegator]

oh well....thats all they have hopefully........they're not gonna get sh-t when we punt to them!

Hopefully we're not punting anymore.

[thedyc09]

How long until FSU quits? I figure they'll try for the rest of the first quarter. After that...blowout city.

[Dreamliner]

oh well....thats all they have hopefully........they're not gonna get sh-t when we punt to them!

I just want us to take the life out of Greg Reid, not give him life.

[gatormark89]

Uh, just echoing what I heard. And statistically this probably is FSU's worst-ever defense.

I think he meant the CBS commentary.

[Dreamliner]

I'm all for discipline, but that's stupid the way the FSU line remains stationary even after the infraction is announced.

[thedyc09]

I'm all for discipline, but that's stupid the way the FSU line remains stationary even after the infraction is announced.

Good way to get your QB knocked into the dirt.

[malligator]

So their center can jerk his whole body when lifting his head, but ours can't turn his head to one side without being called for a false start?

[phillyblount]

joe!

[GatorAbe7]

I'm all for discipline, but that's stupid the way the FSU line remains stationary even after the infraction is announced.

Nothing out of the ordinary for FSU, they pretty much stay stationary once the ball is hiked.

[rjGator]

SACK!

[rjGator]

Nice.

[GatorAbe7]

Deonte!!! Once again, FSu gave the Gator receivers too much of a cush'

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

We should be running the ball around the outside on every play.

[Dreamliner]

Sputter.

[phillyblount]

do we go?......or kick?

[bachikarn]

Didn't look so good on those last 2 plays.

[Bazza]

Is it too late for the I-formation??? OK - wait until next week with MOOOOODY! :ninja:

[GatorNorth]

Nixon missed a block the play after Tim missed a receiver. The little things that have been occurring all year.

Pretty clear after a quarter they can't stay on the field with us unless we let them.

[Zen_Gator]

Our red zone offense is back.

[rjGator]

FG good.

10-0 UF.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Welcome to commercial hell

[GladesGator80]

It's good Caleb got that one because we may need him next week.

[Zen_Gator]

Right hash mark, no problem. 3 pts

[phillyblount]

Proud of the running by demps and rainey

[phillyblount]

2nd half we pull away

another 40 pointer i spect.


D is playin good

[gatormark89]

I know it's points...but I hate field goals. I guess it is hold over from the SOS days of hearing him say "we score TD's they score FG's.'

LOL...Come on Gators...get up and go!

[phillyblount]

kick it to reid

[Zen_Gator]

Why does Rainey get caught from behind so often? He has great burst, but it seems that he never pulls away.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Wow, did Mickey Andrews really say he wished they had a better QB on their side? Way instill confidence in your team Mickey

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Wow 15 yd chop penalty :laugh:

[gblrklr]

Was Bobby talking on a cell phone?

[rjGator]

Nice breakup. 4th dn.

[GladesGator80]

Great coverage by Black.

[gatorman_07732]

He wasw
calling for help

[Zen_Gator]

D is solid as usual. Manuel has some wheels.

[gatormark89]

Edges!

[phillyblount]

blatant horsecollar non call

[floralagator]

These sweeps should have them gassed in second half.

[intimigator1]

Imagine this comment....and I never thought I would ever say this but.....The Gators are wearing them down!!!! Sweet!

[rjGator]

1st dn.

[phillyblount]

I hate HATE

FSU

[EbSaxman]

At this rate, FSU is going to be gassed in the second half.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Shooting ourselves in the foot

[GatorAbe7]

Nice spins by Rainey

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

At this rate, FSU is going to be gassed in the second half.

I agree. They don't have the horses to hang

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Geez penalties galore

[GatorAbe7]

FSU has a good defensive game plan going, but they just don't have the horses to keep pace.

[EbSaxman]

The refs just seem off today. Nerves, probably. They just keep making little mistakes that confuse the flow of the game.

[phillyblount]

this will get ugly in the 4th.....hahahaha

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I'm confused why we are running up the middle when the outside run was working for huge chunks at a time

[rjGator]

GOT IT!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Man I am going to miss Hernandez

[rjGator]

1st dn.

[intimigator1]

NICE!
Hernandez is a "ted on" or "ted end" what is he talking about?

[rjGator]

OH YEAH!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

TEBOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GatorAbe7]

TD!!! Teeeeebow!

[GladesGator80]

Touchdown Tebow, I'm going to miss saying that.

[rjGator]

17-0 UF.

[Bazza]

Heisman stock.........Going Up.........!!! :dog::dog::dog:

[IowaGator]

Take that one dawgs!!!!! No doubt about the record now!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I bet our offense has been on the field about 80% of the first half to this point. FSU d will be dead soon.

[swampbuck]

Nice Play. w00tage.

[EbSaxman]

We are so freaking lucky that Tebow came to Florida. Can't believe this is his last game in the Swamp.

[phillyblount]

TIMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY TIME

Maybe fowler will recognize his Herschel braking record now!

[rjGator]

Beautiful option play.

[phillyblount]

Will A hernandez come out for NFL??????

I hope not!

[gatormark89]

FSU D is gassed and it isn't even the 2nd half yet.

Come on D get a 3 & out!

[Zen_Gator]

May have Tebow's easiest TD in his career. Massive confusion on FSU side. Two players attaked Hernandez

[gatorman_07732]

Bobby was on the phone calling his 1996 defense to see if they had any eligibility left

[floralagator]

Can we please have a shut-out?
Our D has just got to get one!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Will A hernandez come out for NFL??????

I hope not!

Prolly, he is already a projected first rounder

[Zen_Gator]

Will A hernandez come out for NFL??????

I hope not!

Scuttlebutt is that Hernandez will be foregoing his senior year at least according to sources in Connecticut

[GatorLaw]

FSU looks like they've already lost the game, very little life there, they look like they're just going through the motions. And that defense is truly awful.

[rjGator]

4th dn.

[GladesGator80]

'Bout time Verne, Give Tebow props for breaking Hershel Walkers record including his bowl games. No excuse now leghumpers.

[intimigator1]

Reid is GatorBAIT!

[phillyblount]

Scuttlebutt is that Hernandez will be foregoing his senior year at least according to sources in Connecticut

who Do we have in the stable?

Hopefully another Troupe type.

Man....I love our Tight end history, and how we've utilized them!!!!!

[gatorman_07732]

Reid is GatorBAIT!

He only has a half left to take it to the house to back his mouth up

[gatormark89]

FSU D is so tired anything less than a TD this drive is a fail...at least that's my opinion as I sit on my couch! LOL

[GladesGator80]

I want to score again. Come on Gators.

[rjGator]

lol.

[EbSaxman]

Don't do that!!!

[intimigator1]

OH YEAH!!!!

[gatormark89]

Man among boys!

[intimigator1]

Best Penalty I have ever seen!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I think that was Hernandez' goodbye. He knows he's gone after this year.

[rjGator]

24-0 UF.

[AndyGator]

Already covered the spread, and without any FSU turnovers to help.

[intimigator1]

That was a GATOR MOMENT!

[GatorAbe7]

FSU can't stop the Hernendez pitch play even when they know its coming

[gatorman_07732]

I think that was Hernandez' goodbye. He knows he's gone after this year.

I hate to say but I think your right

[GatorLaw]

Hernandez has an arm!

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Aaron just had his own personal senior day :laugh:

[kalaniocc]

that was so sick

[HALLGATOR]

WeeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!! That's football.

[swampbuck]

Bobby was on the phone calling his 1996 defense to see if they had any eligibility left

Perhaps he was instead seeing if they were eligible back in 1996? :grin:

[Zen_Gator]

Hernandez answered the question. Last game at home, lots of excitement.

Hernandez may not play in the second half. Urban was not pleased.

[AndyGator]

So when does Meyer pull Tebow out for his standing ovation? I'm thinking at the end of the third quarter, or perhaps beginning of the fourth. Probably depends on whether we get some FSU turnovers and how many.

[GladesGator80]

Hernandez TD, great play but don't be selfish, act like you have been there before. By the way Verne got in his weekly Tebow-Cooper roommate quip. Thanks again for the info Verne.

[ugaGator]

I think that was Hernandez' goodbye. He knows he's gone after this year.

First thing coming through my mind too... Alvarez, Caldwell, Hernandez... Still that was SICK!!

[ddhreliability]

I'll take that penalty any day

[rjGator]

ha.

[gatormark89]

Time for one more TD!

[GatorAbe7]

Haden puts a stop to that!!!

[ddhreliability]

And the Interception!

[AndyGator]

I knew one was coming. I think there will be more.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

He he....ya knew it was coming :D

[GatorTom6543]

We're nasty.

[GladesGator80]

Joe Freaking Haden!

[gatormark89]

BOOOOO...LOL!

[dredugator]

They need to get rid of Manuel and go to Automatic...

[ddhreliability]

Should put the final nail in the coffin

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

I love it!!!! "Varsity verses junior varsity" That was awesome!!!!

[intimigator1]

This has been a very entertaining first half!

[rjGator]

Halftime.

24-0 UF.

[phillyblount]

I want a shut out


SHUT OUT!!!

SHUT OUT!

[gatormark89]

I love it!!!! "Varsity verses junior varsity" That was awesome!!!!

That was a GREAT line.

I have never understood all the hating on the CBS announcers on these boards.

[cuzzgator44]

You know what I loved about that run, when reid went for the tackle and got thrown like a little rag doll. Should learn to keep his mouth shut.

Spurrier would never have had the QB take a knee with three timeouts left and a minute on the clock. But in a way this is even a bigger knock on what Meyer thinks of the FSU team.

[thedyc09]

Hernandez TD, great play but don't be selfish, act like you have been there before. By the way Verne got in his weekly Tebow-Cooper roommate quip. Thanks again for the info Verne.

Selfish? Celebrations like that pump up EVERYBODY. Did you not notice the crowd going berserk? You think it doesn't send a tingle up the spine of everybody on the team hearing the crowd roar like that? You think all our recruits there didn't love that?

Some people just want to take all the fun out of this game.

[InfinityGTR]

I'm wondering if the FSU players now think that acting like idiots on the field and talking trash was actually a good idea back in the 1st quarter haha

[GladesGator80]

Did you hear that plan Booby has for the 2nd half? "We've got to do it somehow". Great Booby that'll work.

[Judoka]

What a solid half. Some exciting plays, but still very workmanlike. The only thing missing was that drop by Cooper, but it would have been a highlight reel catch if he had reeled it in. I'm hoping for a Brantley sighting in the fourth!

Yeah, that was a conservative move by Meyer. I was surprised as well. The game is not put away. Obviously, they are confident. I'm sure that he would say that he didn't want to give FSU any chance to gain momentum.

FSU does get the ball to start the second half.

When you're an idiot on the field, how can you not act like an idiot on the field? They are who we thought they were.

Exactly. And those 'some people' are paid to ref.

[GatorLaw]

How many punts has Greg "I Can't" Reid run back for TDs so far?

Very very smart of Meyer. Why give FSU something to get pissed about and come out fighting in the second half?

[Zen_Gator]

There will be a number of recruits committing tonight.

I'm not wanting to take the fun out of anything , this is a team game and he could have cost the defense it's first shutout of the season.

Do you think Meyer was happy about it?

Yep. When Steve smelled blood, look out.

Anyway, Mick said on the radio that the Gators "were being graciuos", lol.

[IowaGator]

That was a GREAT line.

I have never understood all the hating on the CBS announcers on these boards.

Other than screwing up names all the time--they are ok and usually pretty pro Gator!

[orangebluegator]

Taking those knees might make FSU feel like this game is literally over and they shouldnt bother showing up for the second half.

[SECund2nun]

I wonder how happy Greg Reid is with his decision to pick FSU.

[CinciGator]

any big time recruits at the game?

[neisgator]

I wonder how happy Greg Reid is with his decision to pick FSU.

Seeing as he cannot read...he is pretty happy is able to play ball...

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

They won't.....:ninja:

[cuzzgator44]

The way he was talking before hand, he made the right decision. That mentallity doesn't fit in with our team.

[rjGator]

Start 2nd half.

[orangebluegator]

Wondy has been superb on special teams.

[gatormark89]

I loved how the ONLY FSU highlight in the bumper video coming into the 2nd half was the DL pushing Pouncey!

[GladesGator80]

Great makeup speed by Janoris.

[intimigator1]

You got to love the defensive adjustments by Strong.

[Judoka]

Ooh, the secondary is gonna get at least one more of those this half. The radio announcers are commenting on how weak Manuel's arm is- he has no zip on his throws. The DBs are going to start jumping routes.

[rjGator]

4th dn.

[VTGator]

any big time recruits at the game?

A ton.

[phillyblount]

lol sanders never out of his stance!!!!!!

[Judoka]

What the hell was 77 doing? He never came out of his stance!

[GladesGator80]

What was the right gaurd doing?

[rjGator]

ha.

[intimigator1]

[GladesGator80]

Superman er Tebow strikes again.

[ddhreliability]

Teebow making his bid for the Heisman

[EbSaxman]

[fastfurious08]

TD! didnt drop that one coop

[ckfball13]

that poor CB has been abused all game long

[Dreamliner]

(1) Total domination.

(2) Tebow's on fire.

(3) Most importantly, Bama fans are nervous.

[GatorLaw]

Another one to his roommate! Verne loves it.

[GladesGator80]

Great catch by Cooper, sometimes he hangs on sometimes he dosen't.

[rjGator]

30-0 UF.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Typical fsu cheap shot

[Zen_Gator]

any big time recruits at the game?

Yeah! There are about a dozen officials, and several dozen unofficials.

[Dreamliner]

If we beat Bama next week, and Texas loses to Nebraska, Tebow's a shoo-in for the Heisman.

[intimigator1]

bama bama whammma jamma samma or whatever they choose to say......GO GATORS! RESPECT!

[phillyblount]

Love this

[IowaGator]

Tebow and Cooper are ROOMATES?!?!?
