It's on twitter, must be true

Go Gators!

This picture is being posted all over the internet with no context.

Jesus. Some seriously cynical (and utterly wrong) people...

There's another account on this thread. Just stop the nonsense.

What are you even talking about? Jesus doesn't belong in this conversation.

Sure he does. Jesus approves my message.

First time I ever had a reason to write such a thing, but the Gators played like punks last night. Good to see one shining light from a night in which pride and class were missing.

Jesus changed my oil last Thursday, and he did a satisfactory job.

Awesome move by DK. Pure class!

BengermanV · 01-04-2013, 02:08 AM

These are the kind of guys that need more starts. I hope we get to see him on the field next year. A very heartbreaking photograph.

gatordentist · 01-04-2013, 07:09 AM

Wonder how big his response will be from the crowd at next year's senor day. For all of us "fans" that actually went to and graduated from UF, we salute you.

Yes, because multiple people are going to corroborate a fabricated story about a kid singing the alma mater by himself. Ever heard of Occam's razor?

Cynical would be doubting if a good thing were true.

Asking if a BAD thing really happened isn't cynical. If anything, its hopeful, not cynical.

I was hopeful that the team, except on player, didn't really abandon the tradition of singing with the band after the game.

So no, I don't think you understand what cynical means.

I think he is a little confused as to what it means. Although he did get it right the second time. That guy questioned whether or not Kitchens just saluted and then kept walking. But, to make a statement hoping that the rest of team participated and then left before the pic was taken is not being cynical. That's an optimist.

If you watch the Gators play, you will see Darrin on the field. I know him personally, so when he's out there I keep an eye on him. Darrin isn't the type of guy who would make a big deal out of what was said.

g8rfan22 · 01-04-2013, 09:24 AM

Ask any of the band members to confirm the story. Some of them actually started chanting his name in recognition of what he did.

**Newk44** · 01-04-2013, 09:28 AM

I love this so much but I understand why some players was not there my 12th grade year in are last game we lost to are arch rivals by a wide left I ran off the field and ran to my mom sounds bad but football was my life and that game kicked us out of the playoffs so I understand how some may have felt but for just him to be out there is wrong live this guy

According to the stats on the pre-game release, Kitchens has played in every game this year and started against FSU.

Maybe the alma mater was already over at this point and he's just waving to his family/friends?

I mean this is just a still picture, you can't really know whats going on.

Good point.

I think it's of a point of view difference. From your post I took it as a negative that you were doubting DK would do that on his own. You say you were looking at it in a different light. Fair enough.
