Gator LB: ‘I almost burst into tears after game’; Meyer: ‘Biggest win we’ve had’
JACKSONVILLE — A few comments from the Florida side after the win over Georgia:
Florida linebacker A.J. Jones on beating the Bulldogs: “Man, it feels great. I almost burst into tears after the game. It feels great to beat Georgia, bottom line.”
Punter/placekicker Chas Henry on his game-winning field goal: “When I hit it, it felt good, but the first one that I missed felt good too, so I kept my head down like Coach Durkin and I talked about. When I saw it go through, it was the best feeling I’ve had.”
Coach Urban Meyer: “This is the biggest win we’ve had. We’ve had some great wins around here and maybe some that people would say were more important. I’d probably argue that. This is the biggest win that I can remember in a long time. . . . That was an emotional locker room. These guys have been to hell and back in the last three weeks. Why was it so important? Because we got our brains kicked in the past three weeks and we needed to get the ship righted.”

Florida took criticism for keeping Chris Rainey on the team, despite a legal issue that included texting a girlfriend, “Time to die.” The junior from Lakeland paid a huge price — missing five games. He was finally allowed to play again in Saturday’s 34-31 overtime win against Georgia. He ran for 84 yards on 16 attempts and made an obvious difference for a team that was struggling offensively.
Afterward, he stood in front of the team and gave an emotional speech.
“Chris is a great person,” UF center and close friend Mike Pouncey said. “He thanked the whole administration, (Athletic Director) Jeremy Foley, the president (Bernie Machen). And he thanked God as well for giving him a second chance. He thanked everybody for giving him a second chance. And without Jeremy Foley and President Machen, it wouldn’t be possible for him to play right now.
“I actually cried after the game because I felt every bit of his pain because I know Rainey, he’s a great person. He’s never been in any kind of trouble and for him to miss … all those games, I know it hurt him to his heart and it hurt me too.”

18 out of 20 you are correct but remember that the GA/FL football games didn’t start 20 years ago.
Good point Will, where there is smoke there is fire.
There is also more to the Rainey storey. No question Rainey makes a positive difference in Florida’s (or anybody’s) offense. At first I thought it was Meyer’s desire to WIN that allowed Rainey to play based on unknown or undisclosed conditions Rainey had accomplished, “according to the coaches”. Meyer’s integrity was already questioned by playing Rainey, but now that Machen and Foley are in the approval cycle, my guess is that it could cause a problem for UF in the future. I thought they (Foley and Machen) were above that, or at least not going on record. Again, my guess is that Foley and Machen may not be happy with his tear jerking locker room comments. Remember the SMU powerhouse years ago before the NCAA “death penalty”? Does that ring a bell with Rainey’s text message to the girl and that now the AD and President are now in the approvable loop?? Just asking…
Also there was more to the text message to the girl than was reported and other statements as to what would happen when the police left. Could also raise questions as to why girl didn’t press charges against him. Probably safer option for her. Waiting for the other shoe to drop…

You don’t win in the SEC with 4 turnovers……having said that….we made some great plays along with our bad ones…..Durham, Green both made superb catches and the D was pretty good until the end when it broke down at some key points. We blew the OT …… best kicker in the country never got a chance to win it. We had a couple of chances to recover fumbles and get an interception but we failed to do that – all of a sudden we could not buy a fumble recovery. Like all of our other losses – we could have won this one as well as lost it. At best we equal last years record………with a new D scheme and a first year QB that may not be such a bad thing this year.

It was going to be a big step forward for the winner. Both teams had dug so deep a hole that the loser was going to be done for. Its been a difficult year for both, but in the end, one team had to win and I’m glad it was my Gators. First overtime game of the series and one to remember. This really is the kind of rivalry books are written about.

Just Asking is the kind of weinie fan that every program does NOT need. His team loses an emotional game and all he can do is try to shift the focus to off the field stuff. His next post will be about academics — but UGA is so far behind UF that even a bofus fan cannot make that argument. OK, so his next post will be about community service. UGA players certainly lead the Gators in that category because both their running backs have racked up community service — pursuant to court orders.
Play the game and take the result like a man, instead of coming on here like a four-year old crying over a broken toy.

Always glad we can help snap a Gator losing streak. Not a game between two great teams, but you always know statistically who’s going to win. 47-1 when they get the first score? That’s incredible. Dawgs just can’t mentally shake that they are going to lose in Jax. And it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy for them every year. It is what it is and now I get another week of my Florida born wife being smug about it. OH well…..

On the 30th anniversary of the Lindsey Scott touchdown, how fitting was it for this game to go into overtime? This was by far one of the best Florida-Georgia games in the history of this series. Yes, the Gators currently own your team in the series but all one has to do is look in the histroy books and see that the ball has been on the Bulldogs’ side of the field in this series. I remember all too well that all Florida had to do was beat Georgia to win an SEC title but somehow, someway the Red & Black pulled out a last second victory to beat Florida in the 70s & 80s.
All of the chatter against Mark Richt is uncalled for. He is a great coach and a great person who has beaten Florida more times than any coach since Vince Dooley walked your sidelines. In the end, it is the players on the field not your coaching staff who win or lose a game. Last night, the ball bounced in Florida’s direction. In years past, post Dooley era coached teams would have packed their bags when they were two or more touchdowns behind. If the anit-Richt forces get their way, UGA will only condemn itself to several more consecutive years of agony against the Gators. What I saw take place last night was a Bulldog team that was hungry and wanted to beat Florida more than anything else. Fortunately, my Gators prevailed 34-31 but with Murray as your quarterback and his supporting cast coming back, there are brighter days ahead for Bulldog Nation.

Meyer should be proud…he let a kid that threatened to KILL HIS GIRLFRIEND and got arrested for it to play because he needed the win. Yea, sure the girlfriend said later she didn’t want him to be prosecuted. But isn’t that what so many abused or battered women say too often when the cops come.
Yes, UGA has had its share of arrests…for suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident, and other for the most part harmless offenses. But Meyer lets kids like Rainey slide.
So congrats UF!! Your felons and your immoral coach has won another one. All UF fans should be proud…
Now, let the UF fans garbage return comments begin…but you know I’m right.

The key player in the game was Burton. He was the difference. Rainey is not the piece in Myers scheme. It is Burton. The Dawg defense misplayed his 51 yard run. You can not allow the QB in the spread to get to the edge. Stop the set with line penetration and maintaining your position. The dawgs saw the play two plays prior. Can not over commit. In the SEC you must have a running QB. This part of the game has changed. CMR and Bobo do not understand this.
If you look at the film you will see that the Dawgs running back dropped back to old form. They had some lanes to get into but do not have the speed and power to do it. The FB on lead plays failed to cut off lateral pursuit and the TB was too far back of the blocks. Florida has outstanding lateral pursuit. You have to cut that off. Florida ran for almost 240 yds. We had about 130. That and 3 picks were the difference. There was no running game in the first half on a consistent basis. You saw too much line penetration again…go back to LaLa game and you saw it there. Better recuit some strong, big, quick down linemen on defense Dawgs. Top dawgs were Dent and Rambo. How many times were they in on tackles and the ball. Alot! Need more players like that on the offense which never attacks, but responds with a fad in the end zone. Bobo’s play book in th red zone.
If UGA wants to play for a SEC title they will need more home games. JAX is a road game for UGA. It is not a road game for Florida. The schedule. What good did it do UGA the past 3 years to have all those nonconference road games. Look at the record. Plus we do not have a break from August until the end of November.or until prior to the Tech game. Tech is not in the SEC. Drop Tech, find an open date prior to the Florida game, and close with a lesser opponent. It is about wins and not geography and a few old alums who think they have to go to pay hommage to the JAX chamber of commerce.

Both teams played well enough to win, although at times it was pretty. But you can’t say it was
for lack of efford—–both teams gave it their all. I would have been more than happy for it to end in
tie. Even though these aren’t the best two teams from either school, they played one of the best
Florida-Georgia games ever.
The dawgs have nothing to be ashamed of—good game.

The favorable unlikely outcomes of missed turnovers (cummings missed opportunity) and not one but two presnap penalties on the gators that favored the gators just continues to blow my mind in this series.
The georgia defense did a great job against the playground round robin offense (I think the announcers were calling it tweeks) that Urban conjured up over the two week break, they just missed the opportunity to get the ball back inside the 10 and game over.
The uncanny luck and favorable ball bounces will once again swing in favor of the dawgs and we can right this ship prior to UF making any more ground on our still comfortable lead in the series. The two week break will be in our favor the next two years so ets see what happens.

Dawgs did not lose because they played in JAx. That’s never been the reason. They lose because they committed untimely turnovers, and Florida played better than expected. No disgrace there. Both teams had good and bad times on the field. There’s nothing wrong with CMR; his players didn’t executive at critical times. It was a heck of a game, a classic of sorts. Let’s give FL credit and move on. There’s till two easy wins left, Idaho State and GT.

I’ve been saying all week that Burton was going to be the difference in this game. I know football and I know Meyer. If it was so obvious to me, shouldn’t it have been to the defense. If he’s behind center, it’s a running play. Except for once.

Ritch is on a total higher plane than Myer and Kiffin and the likes. He always takes the high road. UGA will be fine. UGA will move on and just may win 3 out of 3 final games.
Myer and UF and Rainey’s problems are just beginning. UF will lose two more games most likely, and will deal with expected criticism the rest the year and for a long time. His decision to not only play Rainey, but make him the center of the offense, proved that he will try to win a game not matter what the cost…even though ever Florida female fan was greatly disrespected and dishonored. He did nothing to elevate the good or mankind by letting a barbarian kid from a totally out of control, totally “self-centered” and “woman abused” culture have his way and even get the glory.
Violent Crime against Women

Rainey’s arrest was not a normal incident. Florida fans don’t want to face the facts. He made a death threat among other things….it was not a speeding ticket violation, or a parked car bump. Rainey’s violent, out of control, barbaric, selfless act was one step away from taking another person’s life. His “thug” culture is all about abusing women and demanding respect by fear. Supportive Florida fans and leaders have promoted the idea that you can “abuse your woman” and the consequences for getting caught are minimal…in fact, you can still have your glory. Florida gets the “W” but really is the big “Loser” in the grand scheme of things.

Second your feelings about the Jax venue. You can’t tell me the city of Jacksonville FLORIDA is a better venue for us than, say the Georgia Dome would be. At the very least it should be a home/away between the Dome and Jacksonville. Richt himself came out a few years ago and said the same.
Just snakebit against the Gators. What can go wrong, WILL go wrong in this game, every year. Even some of the penalties AGAINST the Gators helped them, like the false start that took the huge sack away in the fourth quarter. I’ve often thought that the false start flag should be reserved until after the play so that the defense can decline if they had a better result during the play. Too many times it hurts the defense, esp. if they are giving a new look that the offense has never seen before. All it did for the Gators in that situation was give them a five yard penalty and a free look at whatever stunt got the sack. Maybe it should be loss of down?

mr fla dawg, I would submit that you nor anyone else on these boards has more than surface information about Chris Rainey’s situation. I would guess (just a guess) that Coach Meyer’s wife has had some input for him about Chris and I am also guessing that he probably listened. Shelley Meyer is no wallflower. Yet another guess is that Rainey will be a better man for it. He was willing to do hat it took to make amends to all concerned. Time will tell if all of that is accurate. After all, these are merely guesses, since I don’t know any more than anyone else.

Coaches please watch film. UF brought nothing extra. Murray was a little nervous, understandable. = less spining, ball float is from nervousness. Atfer correcting, threw too low = more chance to be picked. AJ cought on tripple coverage = few pros can do that. Said before ” they look for screen to AJ = pick six. yes still can throw to AJ ofcause, but have to be a little better angle and fast ball, and more gang of WRs not clearly one. They have work all week on the easy pick because of they know how to use their speeders. If our coaches has less ego, they would take some advices and “choose only the one that suit the plan”./ Still love CMR though.

All you UGA fans complaining about Rainey are delusional. I guess none of you have ever said anything in the heat of the moment that you didn’t really mean and had to take back later? And none of you notice the hypocrisy of your own coach…just like his mentor Booby Bowden, he kicks scrubs off the team under a policy of “zero tolerance” but welcomes starters back after they serve a short suspension against teams like Vandy or Idaho State.
One last thing…what’s more dangerous – a guy who says something stupid in the heat of an argument, or a bunk of drunken Dawgs driving around the streets or Athens threatening the lives of every man, woman and child whose path they cross? Let’s hear you defend that.

The psychological factor is still there. Players that have a chance to make plays try to be a hero and lose the ball twice in this game fumbles were attempted to be picked up when if you play as a team you have the ball back, as in fall on a fumble, don’t try to be a hero! Urban said it himself, in this series, turnovers always kill the loser of the game. Regrouping after this one will be their greatest challenge as coaches and a team. Get a bye week before this game and you win,the history shows when dawgs have won , they had a bye week and lost the 18 other when they didn’t have a bye week!

I have three comments to make about yesterday’s Florida:
1. Of the two key players in the Game, Georgia QB Aaron Murray is from Florida and Florida kicker Chas Henry is from Georgia. Such is the trivia that makes this series so much fun to follow.
2. The Gators got lucky, again. But at what point does “luck” become something more?
3. Aaron Murray is going to be a great QB for the Dawgs. He deserves a better offensive coordinator, though.
4. The all-time Florida-Georgia series record now stands at 46-40-2. Seven more years, Dawg fans. Seven more years.

Hey Uga fans. Question : What do you get when you mix Mike Bobo with Stacy Searels ? Answer : Cameron Newton at Auburn and Ben Jones at Center. These small town Georgia good ole boys with their attitudes adversely affect their ability to make objective decisions regarding recruits and personnel which result in you losing to Florida yet again. The problem is that you Georgia people recognize it and support it! You’ll always be an over-rated program until you step up, get rid of this element that makes decisions as if it were the 1950s, and demand a program commiserate with modern times.

Urban says this is their best win of the season, which does not say much about their season. Who can’t beat this pitiful team? I am just really tired of the same play, or lack thereof, every year when we play this game. I think it has to come down to coaching and we are lacking that.

Mark,
Here’s a good story piece. “GT to End UGA’s Bowl Streak?”
UGA is now, below .500 at 4-5. They’ll beat Idaho, should lose soundly to Auburn that puts them at 5-6.
If UGA loses to GT, then UGA will be 5-7 and be home for the holidays watching the bowls on TV all because they would lose to GT.
Oh man. I am absolutely relishing the thought of that.

Happiness is… A sad dawg fan. When you lose, it always goes back to beating Tech. You should beat Tech, with all of the years of superior recruiting, always top 5, but nothing to show for it. UGA gets the best of the best and whomever they want each year. FLA should be your biggest rival but since you never can beat them, suddenly it is Tech again. I think if UGA beat GT by 3 in overtime, we would never hear the end of it. But when you are the loser, well it’s nothing for them to brag about. The AJC and all the media blow UGA up each year and make excuses over and over for you, you never get negative coverage like GT. So stop whining and accept the fact, you are highly overrated.
UGA fans are so arrogant and for what?? (P.S. I am female non GT graduate)

All you UGA fans complaining about Rainey are delusional. I guess none of you have ever said anything in the heat of the moment that you didn’t really mean and had to take back later? And none of you notice the hypocrisy of your own coach…just like his mentor Booby Bowden, he kicks scrubs off the team under a policy of “zero tolerance” but welcomes starters back after they serve a short suspension against teams like Vandy or Idaho State.
One last thing…what’s more dangerous – a guy who says something stupid in the heat of an argument, or a bunk of drunken Dawgs driving around the streets or Athens threatening the lives of every man, woman and child whose path they cross? Let’s hear you defend that.
No, the SAD part about the Rainey situation, is that many outlets reported, and i even believe court recorders released this info too, that the VICTIM was threatened by “many” third-party (had absolutely no place in the matter) for having Rainey prosecuted, mostly because of course they were UF fans, and with those random phone call threats from many strangers, she “decided” not to go further with pressing charges. Sounds a bit like strong-arming a witness/victim if i’ve ever heard of such. Not that Rainey mattered that much in our (UGA) particlular situation. UF has several fast ball-carriers who would have gotten just as many yards on their carries, had the suspension been upheld. If it was Burton, it would’ve been more significant. UF played a great game, and so did UGA. UGA’s problem wasn’t Chris “time to DIE bit&h” Rainey, it was trying to pick up and run with several UF fumbles, only to lose to ball and give it right back. We lay on those fumbles, we win that game with a tied TO ratio. Gotta give it to the gators, they won in a great game. Still love my Dawgs and CMR till the end though.. The man’s 8-1 against tech, how can you not love that? Go Dawgs!

Mike T.—-
The modern University of Florida, first known as the “University of the State of Florida,” was created by the Florida Legislature in 1905 when it enacted the Buckman Act. The new university was formed after all of the existing institutions of higher education in the state were abolished by the Buckman Act and four of them were consolidated to form the University of the State of Florida and two were consolidated to form the Florida Female College (the future Florida State University).
Georgia claims a 1904 win over one of the University of Florida’s four predecessors. From Florida’s perspective, it’s hard to see how you lose a game to Georgia when you didn’t legally exist until 1905. But, I suppose it’s important to find a win over the Gators anyway, anywhere, any time you can.
So, the series record stands at 46-40-2, or if you prefer, 47-40-2*. Anyway you slice it, it’s unlikely you will be able to claim an advantage in the all-time series in seven years. Either the Gators will lead the series 47-46-2, or it will be tied 47-47-2*. You see, I do know my Florida-Georgia history, and I chose the words of my gentle taunt very carefully.

We had the open date before last years game, what was the score 41-17 FL, yes it helps in ways to have the bye,rest people, get people well, etc.but it more than just that, as someone blogged the other day, before the game, it was stated perfectly that Florida views this game as the most important game on their schedule, and the Georgia prepares for this game as if was still 1975 and Florida was just a tad
better than Vandy.Look at the comments made by Florida after yesyerday’s game.”I almost burst into
tears” Meyers said this was the most important win they’ve had.Think about it he’s won two NC down there,yet beating the Dawgs in OT has got them estatic. A four loss Georgia team.I’m sorry, I lke Richt
as a person,but he is like Ray Goff he isn’t the person for the job.

A lot of crimes by Ga players are kept quiet by richt. If they punished all the players for all the stuff they do, they couldn’t field a team. Hey dawgs: how did that low class taunting of uf get you in the overtime!!! They just never learn–every year, the dawg players try something new to get “motivated” and it backfires.

This was a frustrating loss because the better team did not win. Urban clearly showed his colors playing the felon. Enjoy it this year gators because the tide is turning. You’re on the way back to your pre 1990 years when you were irrelevant and laid a big goose egg in the SEC Championship category. Oh wait, they did have one in 1984 but it was vacated for cheating.
The Dawgs have a promising future and will mark this game. While we’re at it let’s pull the game from Jax every other year and move it to the ATL as a “neutral site”.

Florida did not have a sanctioned football team in 1904. They had a club team of Florida students that wanted to play football. There were no resources, e.g., coaches, funds, stadium, ticket sales, etc. provided by the university.
Florida has a club rugby team as well. Noone considers that team to be a varsity sport at the University of Florida, because it’s just a group of students that enjoy rugby and play students at other schools that play rugby. No records are kept by any of the schools, because the universities are not involved. They do not sanction the sport.
If it makes you feel better to know that your University of Georgia sponsored varsity football team defeated a group of students that formed a football club at another school,,,well, have at it. Enjoy yourself!

CMR is paid $ 3 million dollars a year to hire a coaching staff & win.
There are just too many excuses and no development in our weak areas.
11 games CMR has played vs Top 10 Final AP Poll teams in 10 years; lost 8
10 games CMR has played vs Florida in 10 years; he has lost 8 of them too
CMR has lost now 10 teams in 10 yrs not ranked in Top 25 Final AP Poll
In 2 months CMR will have fired every coach he hired in a 12-month period
We are to believe that now CMR knows how to hire a coaching staff ?
42-19 CMR record over these last 5 years now this season; he is great ?
In same last 5 years, CMR # 2 nation Fulmer Cup Most Arrested / Suspended
13-12 CMR record vs SEC East these last 5 years now this season; great ?

Mike T- The series also officially includes the 75-0 “win” UGA enjoyed during WWII when you had your whole varsity team in school while ours was out fighting the Germans and Japanese.
Dawg Fans – Glad (most of) you guys are focusing on the real problem, Chris Rainey. He is the reason you lost 5 games (so far) this year. He is the reason you lost 18 out of 21. He is the reason your program can’t get past “good” and get to “great”. It has nothing to do with the coaches or players.

Calidawg, UF fans and players *don’t* think this is a rivalry anymore…they were all crying an emotional because their 3-game loosing streak got snapped, not because they went out on the field and beat a respected team in the trenches.
Whining about Rainey? Let’s face it, we give Richt credit for being a nice guy. Let’s face it; deep down, nobody cares about what kind of thugs you have on the team as long as they’re playing in Atlanta the first Saturday in December. Nobody commented about how nice Richt was the first few years of his career, when he was coaching Donnan-recruited teams into the SEC Championship and the Sugar Bowl.
We have a choice…we can start competing for SEC crowns and BCS titles, or we can start competing with Vandy for the highest graduation rate.

I made the long trip to Jacksonville, and had a great time with my fellow GA fans and with the Gator fans, who are great by the way. That’s what NCAA football is about. Cheer for your team until the end, but when it’s over, we can all be nice and have fun.
