If UF wins, will the seniors carry Meyer off the field? I'd like to see it for this will be his last game as the Gators head coach.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State will get ready for the Outback Bowl in Florida at the spring training home of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Coach Joe Paterno accepted Phillies president David Montgomery’s offer over the weekend to have the Nittany Lions conduct nearly a week of practice at the Phillies’ facility in Clearwater.

Practices in Clearwater will begin Sunday and last through Dec. 24, when players and coaches will move about 20 miles east to the team hotel in Tampa. The Outback Bowl against the Florida Gators will be played Jan. 1 at Raymond James Stadium, home of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.<p/>

You can check the weather for zip 33803 where I live.I was in Lakeland for my daughter's softball tournament last weekend and was cold the whole time. Saturday we were fogged in and the temp never broke 50 all day, then Sunday it started out nice but then the rain and cold moved back in. I am glad the freeze didn't come 2 days earlier! I was cold enough as it was.

[UTGator]

I think our offense is going to light up the scoreboard in this game. With nothing to lose, i think they let loose (including Addazio).

We are having a game watching party up her in the 'Burgh. Unfortunately we are having over at least 5 Penn State Alums. On the obnoxious scale Bama fans being a 10 and Arizona State(Don't give a crap) being a 1, PSU fans rate about a 4. They seemed to be more concerned about the beer I am getting than the ballgame and talking smack. Should be fun. Now the Steelers that is a different matter, its more of a religion.

This is the first time I've heard from you, though I just read "Hello Again!" Thread, so good to see some good rival fans.

BTW, the TENN/UNC bowl should be interesting in Nashville. Probably be a "home" game, and I do think Dooley will do a solid job down the road at UT

Yea. The tickets sold out within 24 hours and its the first time the MCB ever sold out. Orange will be everywhere in Nashville on the 30th. I hope Meyer goes out on a winning note. I just wish UT would have beaten him once while he was there. Its embarrassing not to.

Having UT would do that, Nashville's, what, only 3 hrs from Knoxville (+/-)? I do appreciate the support for Meyer in our bowl. I'm sure glad he had his way with UT (no offense :D). FTR, I picked UT to beat UNC for the MCB anyway, the "orange factor" kind of helps too.

I don't understand the point here. Whenever the guys who usually are on the ESPN Game Day shows pick a team in a game, I always add that info to the game thread. Regardless of whom they pick or what game it is, Gators in it or not.

[Jaggator]

Herbstreit picked Penn State.

Rarely does he ever pick against the Gators. Just goes to show you how bad our team has fallen in one year and how the national media perceives us.

If anything, Herbstreit has been accused of being a Gator homer in past years.

Money says burton throws a TD. I also think we roll. Very stoked to see Floyd get a lot of action at DT.

[tektonik]

With teams this random throughout the year it is nearly impossible to get a feel on how this game is going to turn out. I truly hope they put some effort into an offensive gameplan ala Cinci and BCS past rather than anything we saw the regular season this year or last.

[TampaGatorFan]

We've got way too much speed on both sides of the ball. Avoid stupid mistakes like penalties and turnovers, and we win this one by 2-3 scores easy.

I don't know how, but I am sure that will be claimed here.

JB continues to prove me wrong. I thought the I Formation was what he needed.

[keypox]

Its really not fair to the other players to keep playing brantley

[gatorsfan530]

D didn't even get much rest, not all their fault due to JB's poor throw

Bad play design. Bad execution.

I'm not one to make fun of physical appearance, but that's funny **** right there, maybe cause I was thinking the exact same thing.

[LimeyGator]

Brantley now with more INTs than TDs on the season?... nice! :)

[GatorAvatar]

Our D was just starting to catch their breath and voila!!! INT go back on the field fellas

[01]

Brantley was told to throw that way the entire time.

There, that's close enough to what I expected. :sick:

[texasgator77]

I don't think pro style can help brantley .

[oneatatime]

evans starting for hill at free safety

is hill even in tampa?

[iam4uf]

I've been in Brantley's corner all year, but now really think he just is not that good.

[mac4lyfe]

How many times do I have to say, I hate this offense. We're usually better off punting on 1st down.

Ref's bad spotting already.

[TheGator]

Brantley is a great QB

[sHiNeR2]

Where's Will Hill? Is he in trouble or injured?

[xenythx]

There, that's close enough to what I expected. :sick:

Doesn't mean he should have thrown it. But it was obviously a pre-snap determined throw.

[Bazza]

That was Addazio's fault!!!

I don't know how, but I am sure that will be claimed here.

Funny you should say this - the camera panned to Dazz right after the int. Expressionless of course. :plain:

[Go2gtr]

There goes the hype up for Coach Meyer. D has to carry the load early.

[GatorAvatar]

I am sick

[mac4lyfe]

I've been in Brantley's corner all year, but now really think he just is not that good.

Wow, what took you so long??

[gatorsfan530]

PSU doing some nice things offensively, gotta hold them to 3 at least

[xenythx]

Ahmad Black is tired already.

[gator7_5]

Watching Trat and lemens tying to catch a QB is funny as hell

[LimeyGator]

Trattou has the turning circle of a truck...

[BengermanV]

More of what we've seen all year. Not even going to blame this on the Defense. It has to be deflating to get a 3 and out and then go back out there 1 play later.

[The_Graygator]

Yeah, and that pick had nothing to do with Jordan Reed allowing the defender to get between him and the ball. It was a bad throw too, but the pick responsibility goes both ways.

I liked the quick-out pass to start though, At least it was aggressive play-calling.

Can't believe they gave PSU a first down there.

All-in-all, I'll already be so glad when this game is over and this season is done.

Maybe Teryl Austin getting schooled here by Galen Hall will end his notions of continuing on as our DC.

[born2beagator]

Hopefully Brantley showed Muschamp all he needed to see in one throw.

[The_Graygator]

I don't think pro style can help brantley .

Kind of ridiculous to say that when he's never been given the chance.

[xenythx]

That should be a penalty.

[GatorAbe7]

Gettin' our buts kicked already

[born2beagator]

Glad the flu stopped me from going to this.

[Go2gtr]

It's really something when we make PSU look faster than us.

[TheGator]

Well this game is going well.

[Dayman]

Well...now is the time I wish we had an identity on offense that I was confident would come back. But there's no leadership there....

[BengermanV]

Janoris Jenkins, we miss you.

[GatorAvatar]

Urban will be embarrassed on his final game

[indyg8r]

Galen hall for oc!

[GatorAbe7]

Good grief that #6 is killing the secondary.

[born2beagator]

Feels like the game is already out reach

[HALLGATOR]

Galen Hall doing a job on our defense

[Go2gtr]

Teams without an offense are at a significant disadvantage.

[The_Graygator]

Freshman Watkins got schooled on that play by a senior.

Didn't even turn around to locate the ball and bam!... TD.

Pretty much par for the season.

[fullufshatg8tr]

Brantley & Addazio are purposely sabotaging our program since they both are leaving with a bad attitude. I say good riddance and send them to the locker room and get them a cab.

[philip214]

We just got taken to school on that drive.

[Bazza]

Textbook example of how momentum plays a role in the game.

I know it's early but you can see we could be doomed thanks to the Int by Johnnie.

[ThePlayer]

Another pathetic start to an important game.

[iam4uf]

Wow, we let their horrible offense drive right down the field - Austin wants to stay another year as coach? Sure, after this performance no one else will hire him.

[GatorLaw]

I have no words to express how happy I'll be when this season is over.

[gatorsfan530]

Damn it....

7-0 PSU

D needs a rest, hopefully the O won't mess up again....

[EbSaxman]

On a positive note, usually the defense forces the opponent to take around 10 minutes to score so at least we get the ball back with a chance to even it up before the end of the first quarter.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

All-in-all, I'll already be so glad when this game is over and this season is done.

Maybe Teryl Austin getting schooled here by Galen Hall will end his notions of continuing on as our DC.

^^This^^

[ThePlayer]

We just got taken to school on that drive.

Anyone is smarter than the Dazzler.

[philip214]

I bet muschamp broke a few tvs on that drive.

Can't wait to see our aggressive d next year.

[GatorAvatar]

Bama playing well. Just saying

[Bazza]

If Brantley comes in again WE DESERVE TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :no:

[born2beagator]

I am so glad we are cleaning house this year.

[keypox]

i think the coaches are still waiting for brantley to break out lol. I know I have waited every game this season. Its just not gonna happen, we woul have gotten first downs if we just ran Burton up the middle every time.

[TheGator]

I guess the bright side, I have time to take a nap.

[The_Graygator]

But after the pick and score, I suppose it'll be back to the Addazio dive-play mentality. on first downs.

[xenythx]

The guys that actually seem to give a damn that it's Urban's last game just aren't good enough to make a difference about it themselves. Guys like Pouncey, Trattou, and Lemmens won't make much of a difference in this game. Most everybody else has packed it in.

Hopefully Ahmad Black plays his heart out for Urban.

[GatorAbe7]

Brantley & Addazio are purposely sabotaging our program since they both are leaving with a bad attitude. I say good riddance and send them to the locker room and get them a cab.

Probably more true for Addazio than Brantley. Brantley isn't even talented enough to sabbatage anything.

[ItzRegardie]

I'm about to start switching back and forth to the Bama game. Good lord.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Feels like the game is already out reach

Considering that 7 points is about all our offense can muster lately I'd say it probably is out of reach.

[TheGator]

Awesome return.

[HALLGATOR]

Well that's just great

[oneatatime]

run the friggin' ball

[Go2gtr]

Brantley & Addazio are purposely sabotaging our program since they both are leaving with a bad attitude. I say good riddance and send them to the locker room and get them a cab.
They are plants by the enemy, only the really smart fans have figured that out, good work!

[01]

Funny you should say this - the camera panned to Dazz right after the int. Expressionless of course. :plain:

When you are just so stunned by the ineptitude it's hard to have any emotion, lol. Even if he calls a brilliant play, if Brantley throws to the wrong colored jerseys it's hard to live with, lol.

[Headshot]

Nice pro-style interception.

[GatorLaw]

Why, oh why, did he try to run it out?

[BengermanV]

Awful

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

And the hits just keep on coming...

[RealGatorFan]

Hahaha we look like absolutely funny playing this game.....we actually got worse since the FSU game.

[indyg8r]

From bad to worse.

[Zen_Gator]

Still hoping that Brantley transfers. He must be a magician in practice. Makes coaches see something that no one else can. Don't want him to pull the wool over the next coaching staff's eyes.

[LimeyGator]

This could be a LOOONG day.

Odds on the next play call? I reckon the Dazzler will call an INTspecial ;)

[gatordavisl]

Brantley lovers have no comment. Makes sense. Brantley poor throw = go after the fans.

[RealGatorFan]

Reed is no Cam so stop playing him like that.

[akaijenkins1]

Clearly it's mental with this defense. They force a three and out and then The offense lays an egg and now the defense can't do anything, Debose can't handle the ball. Mental!

[Dayman]

This infuriates me. This is a circus. Rotating circus.

[The_Graygator]

Debose drops the KO and only gets back to the 5.

Of course, it was all Brantley's fault. :roll:

And yep... dive play, first down.

Good Gosh deliver us from this idiot running our offense.

Diove play #2 in a row.

Guess what? Maybe a pass perhaps?

[indyg8r]

I wonder if temple is watching.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

"Reed option" funny

[phillyblount]

3 and out. Par for the course

[born2beagator]

WOW. That was SO predictable!

[mac4lyfe]

Good grief, I can already tell that we didn't bring the right cleats. Guys slipping and sliding out there AGAIN.

Crappy play calling again. Here comes Brantley. How inventive. 3 and out. Lovely.

[Gator4Eva]

Didn't PSU DE jump before the snap?

[keypox]

off sides

[HALLGATOR]

3 and out. Don't know how much of this I can watch and I never stop watching games.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Go clock go

[GatorAbe7]

We''l at least UF made it to the third play of that offensive series.

[gtr2x]

Horrible start for JB, but it looks like the defense is really missing the injured guys.

Catchable ball by Moore.

[RealGatorFan]

Punting.....this game is over if Penn St scores on the next possession.

[gatorsfan530]

Going nowhere offensively

Gotta make that catch too...

[BengermanV]

Good pass, awful catch.

[The_Graygator]

Dive play, dive play, and senior Carl Moore drops a sure first down on a thid down pass play.

OPh, but it's all Brantley's fault of course.

And now the defense goes right back on the field.

[CBGator87]

Man up on that catch, Moore. Hang onto it.

[philip214]

This is one flat out terrible offense. Just complete disarray. How could any college hire our oc as a head coach?

Mind boggling.

[TheGator]

Please make this season end.

[gator85jd]

Good to see we are sticking with what got us here.

[ItzRegardie]

Save us will muschamp! I cant take this in the '11 season.

[mullin20]

WHy does Urban continue to hang with Brantley. That INT was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad Meyer is leaving-favortism is getting old.

[iam4uf]

Brantley should not come in again. He's hurting his chances of catching on with another school.

[GatorLaw]

Nothing like continuing to do the same things you've done all season that haven't worked through 12 games. This game has all the ear-marks of another FSU South Carolina blowout. One team is ready to play, the other isn't.

[gatorsfan530]

Chas is a baller at least, he's been solid all year.

[GatorByte]

Man, our offensive strategy is pure hot garbage. :no:

[Zen_Gator]

Meyer and staff should win the "jump the shark" award this year for coaching staffs. Pure ineptitude.

[philip214]

The one great thing about a pro style offense is maybe we will start getting some stud wr's. Our recruiting at that position has been terrible.

[NOTgaGATORanymore]

Punting.....this game is over if Penn St scores on the next possession.

This game may already be over. With the same stale predictable play calling and sorry execution I'd say we may lay a goose egg today.

[phillyblount]

If this game goes by way the FSU game did....ie effing horrible, I will stop watching.

Already, DIVE DIVE PASS Jeeeez. 3 and out 3 and out

[Dayman]

Did they just show people throwing rocks at the lions in Bush Gardens?

[HALLGATOR]

I don't know what's wrong with this team but I sure hope Muschamp can figure it out

[Woadieoadie]

Dive play, dive play, and senior Carl Moore drops a sure first down on a thid down pass play.

OPh, but it's all Brantley's fault of course.

And now the defense goes right back on the field.


Brantley isn't good...he stares at one guy all day,falls at first pressure and has iffy touch. These things are real

[gatorsfan530]

Good D there

[HALLGATOR]

Come on defense

[GatorfromLA]

Did they just show people throwing rocks at the lions in Bush Gardens?

If they did, sign that guy up to be our QB

[oneatatime]

run rainey and demps

[GATORAJE]

Way to go Brantley !!! Think you can screw up any creatively?
