Chipper Jones rips Gators after upset
One of the Florida Gators’ best-known fans is ripping into the team after its stunning 33-23 loss to Louisville in the Sugar Bowl Wednesday night.
Chipper Jones took to Twitter to express the frustration that many Gator fans are feeling after watching Florida fall behind 24-3 in the first half and 33-10 in the second half before falling 10 points short in a late comeback attempt.
“Never seen a more undisciplined football team in my life. As a life long UF fan, that was embarrassing,” Jones wrote Thursday.
And then: “I can handle getting beat, but to show ur [fannies] in front of the whole country? Sure hope the inmates ain’t running the asylum down there!”

Muschamps Onside Kicks

“We game-planned it and felt good about it,” Muschamp said of the onside kick attempt. “We wanted to steal a possession at the start of the second half.”
We never expected TWO personal fouls on the same play!

The gators play dirty and that is why they are the most penalized team in the SEC. Oh and their coach is a head case.

Its awfully hard to expect 18 year olds to keep their composure when their 42 year old head coach is acting like a roided up cokehead.
Muschamp is a joke!

Hey Gators, just because the UGA players are good citizens, Jarvis Jones wishes to lend the Florida Gators a helping hand as seen in this picture… GO DAWGS! 17-9 all year long!

LOL ConyersDawg, now THAT is funny right there!
Bama and UGA were the only 2 SEC teams worthy of a BCS berth. Florida had NO BUSINESS being there.

On New Year’s Day my vote for the worst perfomance by an SEC team in the Sugar Bowl was the Dawgs embarassing loss to West Virginia where DJ Shockley looked more like a freshman QB than Patrick White, the Mountaineers freshman QB! Jan 3, 2013: my vote has obviously changed! This Gator doofus looked more like a JV QB out there! PREMEIR TEAM IN THE SEC MY TAIL!!! Come next year the Gators and the Bungle Tigers will probably by the worst QBed and poorest coached teams in the SEC. Both teams surely proved what bad QBs and poor coaching in a game will do to so-called mighty teams in bowl games!

UF Gimmcky Uniforms
January 3rd, 2013
3:01 pm
As we all know, whenever uga wears black jerseys it’s considered a gimmick, or a fake source of motivation or whatever, even though black is one of our main colors. So why was uf last night any different? They wore a combo that isn’t normal and IIRC they haven’t worn since 1999. So why wasn’t that a gimmick?

You know Strong had a bit of a “I’ll show them” mentality for not getting the UF job. Throw in the fact they heard how they didn’t even belong in the game and we came in expecting to play a pushover today. They were all amped up and we didn’t give a crap. It was disgusting to watch.
Not to mention those uniforms are cursed.

Premier program in the SEC? You are kidding right, you barely are the premier program in Florida. Number one recruiting class, again, well guess what, the guys that are jr and sr there now were part of the best class ever assembled and muschamp has turned them into what we saw last night. As for as what does 17-9 mean, it means we have a winning streak giong against UF, it means Muschamp is0-2 against UGA, and looking 0-3 square in the face, a team doesn’t have to be very good defensively to shut UF down, our D proved that this year. I hope you enjoyed your little run, because its over Gator, now assume your normal slot, looking up at us.

Man get off Chipper, he is just a wounded fan of UF. At least he admits it.
If Braves had a better lineup to play that night Chipper would not have been in there. No Coach or Manager wants to lose by playing his worst players or making terrible decisions. Opps unless you are Les Miles…great call twice Mad Hatter…NOT. Surprised you didn’t PASS on that end of game press conference….Had to put LSU into the mix they were getting a free PASS.. incomplete..again

All you mutts on here kicking the Gators while we are down are SO classless! The SEC is supposed to be a brotherhood – but no instead you have to jump on the Big East bandwagon after our loss.
We still own you & you know it! Opa Gangnum style!

With regards to the bowl games, the only game sold out has been the Rose bowl so far. So it seems the interest has dwindled for every school for some reason. The Orange bowl has really sunk to an all time low for the past several years.

@ Duluthgator. With all your number 1 wishes any team in the country would be number 1. If you are the premiere team in the SEC why are you not playing for the Championship?? I believe you are confusing yourself with Bama. I remember back in 96 when the Gators may have been the premiere team in the SEC but Spurrier got spanked by Tom Osborne in the National title game

What was embarrassing in last nights game was how desperate Florida looked — punching a Cards player in the face, roughing the passer, a player thrown out of the game, gimmicky plays, failed on-side kick-offs, costly, stupid penalties to name a few while Louisville tore apart their secondary and played like a top contender. This was the biggest upset in BCS history but no surprise to those of us who have been watching the Cards all season. Louisville is the Sugar Bowl Champion 2013, Big East Champs 2013 and undefeated in the SEC against Florida who had one of the toughest schedules in the SEC — and we are better known for our basketball program where we are currently ranked #3. GoCards !!

Lol at the #1 recruiting class comment. There is virtually NO difference between any of the Top 10 classes…Bama, UGA, LSU, UF, etc. will continue to have plenty of fine talent to mold. Based on the discipline I saw last night that freshman Gator class will be banging it out in the Music City Bowl in the years to come.

GTBOOB….you’re an audacious man. Some crazy talk falling out of your mouth.
ZZGator…… You’re a moron too. All the Gators could do was yap…. They were yappin’ after every play….kinda looks stupid when you’re getting punked.
Our neighbors had a little Yorky that would come to the fence and yap at our Chow every time he was out. The ol’ Chow would just lift his leg and pee all over the little yapper…..kinda like the Sugar Bowl.

Really? A quote from the Chipper? Let’s get this straight, he left wife #1 for a Hooter’s girl, then left her for a Playboy Bunny? What the hell is next for this guy?
If not the Bowl championship, then Georgia should have been in the Sugar Bowl.
January 3rd, 2013

Since those ignorant Georgia coaches cheated those outstanding young men out of the bowl championship game, Georgia should have been in the Sugar Bowl. They are much more talented than that pathetic Florida team. That Georgia team is breaking up, and they will never get that chance again; it’s unfortunate that Richt and Bobo squandered their opportunity. Richt and Bobo are first-class idiots. And, why doesn’t Chipper move to Texas since we’here in Atlanta are through with him — we’ve had enough of his poor character. He’s always been a very poor example of a family man. Why doesn’t he go back to Texas where he’s from; that’s why we gave him all that money so he could leave as soon as he finished here and stay away. He’s milked us enough.

Guess this explains why the GA/FL game is usually such a great match up

Teddy Bridgewater is the REAL DEAL, the best QB my Gators have faced all season – and that includes Aaron Murray and Johnny Manziel. Louisville would have beaten every other SEC team (save Alabama) last night.
Don’t forget – Florida>A&M>Alabama, which makes us the rightful national championship contenders.

Chipper saw what I and the rest of the nation saw.
What the heck was up with the Gators defense mean-mugging for the cameras and doing throat-slashing gestures when they were getting their butts handed to them collectively by the Louisville offense?
Talk about having mixed-up priorities! LOL!

People Florida barely beat La.-Lafayette with 2 scores
at the end of the game- their offense sux- see UGA Game..
This was not an upset… 36 players for Louisville are from
Florida- Their good and hats off to Charlie Strong for having
them ready– Not sure what Florida Coaches were doing but
they look awful….

Muschamp got outcoached, and the uf players got outplayed. Still not sold on Muschamp, esp. when he is the first coach since like Charley Pell to lose to uga two yrs in a row. When your offense is so inept, and you rely solely on your defense, it’s inevitable that a good coach is eventually gonna expose that flaw. Maybe we have the wrong coach, and the coach on the opposing side last night should be in orange and blue. And finally, burn those ORANGE pants. That’s retro ’80’s, and we all know how painful that decade was

Florida acted like they were on crack. They embarrassed their families, their school, themselves, the Gator brand, the coaches. Punks and pavement apes. The program is in deep doo-doo. And, I like Will Muschamp.
