Game Thread ***OFFICIAL GAME THREAD: UF vs Texas***; Dallas Wilson debuts

The ball was on its way to the ground on the spike when the clock went to zero. We were a split second from giving them a final Hail Mary.

I thought this game was one of the better officiating games I’ve seen in a long time

Was Calloway calling plays? I wonder….

Same plays that he's always called. Shane Matthews commented on it a little bit. Even that post touchdown catch was the same thing we threw earlier in the year to the walk-on wide receiver. it's a really basic play which is probably in every middle school and up playbook.

The announcers were dumbfounded over him taking a TO instead of the 10 second runoff. It’s embarrassing but expected at this point. The Billy tax ain’t goin’ nowhere.

I am asking this b/c I do not know the answer but I do not agree with taking a TO there unless this may have been the case? The player who lost his helmet has to sit out for one play so the clock stops as the player comes off the field and does not start again until the next snap correct? So if that is the case, can the team whose player lost his helmet use a Timeout in exchange for that player being able to remain in the game? If so that could be the only reason at all to consider that b/c it was now 3rd down and Barber was the player. Perhaps it was a way for Barber to stay at LT even though he was not very good tonight. Just asking as that could be the only possibility????

Just stop, you will never be able to understand why. Even if that was the reason, with Barber on the field after the time out we got absolutely stone walled on 3rd down. The man is a complete and utter phucking moron

but tonight shows why that won't work.

in the end you have to have someone who's not one of the bottom 10% of the 94,000 at the swamp. Even if you had a fantastic offensive coordinator and a good defensive coordinator, The head coach is still going to be making decisions to go for it when to take timeouts etc and he's thoroughly incapable of doing it. I honestly don't understand how he's this bad at it. You would think he would have learned some of it just by being around a football field for a long time.

His removal from the program is more necessary than a fish needs water to live. His reaction decisions are amateur, at best, and he clearly has half of a functioning brain.

So it was what I suspected to keep Barber in the game? But to insult every single fan to say you needed a timeout to discuss the play when the entire stadium, including the opponent knew that Baugh was getting the ball between the guards is beyond embarrassing even for RETARD

I like this win alot just for the sake of drinking more Manning tears.

 

[DarksideGator]

I have no idea what to feel anymore watching our beloved Gators. We have Dudes, with a Smoothed Brain in charge SMH ! Could be the Almighty had pity for us today and gave us a victory after paying The BillyTax, only thing that makes some sense.

You’re giving him way too much credit, the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz has more brains than our head retard.

I swore off this team prior to the LSU game.

Son brought me in to show we were up with a shutout, TX scores a TD. I storm back off.

Wife and son pull me in at 2m left, up 29-21. Second play is that timeout instead of running the 10sec off. I respond with “Fire that dumbazz mfer right now!” And repeat until the final whistle.

Hours later, and I am still 1000% we need to fire that dumbazz mfer. I am just not yelling anymore. As loudly.

If this son of a phuck wins every game for the remainder of the season, makes it into the playoffs and wins the national championship, we should without a doubt fire his a$$

Calling a timeout prevented a ten second runoff that only a brain dead idiot wouldn't want in that situation. We gave them ten extra seconds that got them within a split second of getting one last Hail Mary.

I don't think the timeout lets you keep the player in the game because it's a safety rule to insure the opportunity to check/fix the helmet if necessary. At the end of the game, you're only getting 30 second timeouts.

No, the timeout does allow you to keep player in the game as that time is basically the same as a play would have taken, for safety issues.. I also believe it was TEXA$$ who had the call on the 10 second runoff and they clearly would have declined that option. The ridiculous part is insulting us that they needed to discuss the play, a play that would have been called 1 million times out out 1 million.

I asked Google about this and the answer was that the player can not remain in the game if a timeout is called. Then I asked if he could remain in the game if two timeouts are called prior to the next play. This time, I got the answer that if a player's helmet comes off and a charged timeout is immediately called then the player may remain in the game and the second timeout doesn't effect that. Weird...

They were out of timeouts. They didn't have one to sacrifice to keep the 10 seconds. Us calling timeout prevented the runoff as I understand it. Maybe I'm wrong.

I don't know, just conjecturing.

The plays are all the same as they have been, of course. But it seemed more were called at more opportune times that gave the talented skill players chances to make something happen. And they did. Billy usually calls certain types of plays at exactly the wrong time and it blows up in our faces. He’s the anti-Spurrier. There were some wasted downs tonight but not as many. That piqued my curiosity.
