I'm just going to say this. Throw the damn ball mister QB. Sure he is good at both run and throw, but I'm not a fan of the running QB. A&M, besides Tannehill, has for years had QBs who run first. How many championships has this gotten us after WWII? Not a fan.

Either your players arent SEC tough or they were faking. Your choice.

Dont forget that back when Bucky played, if we scored more than 10 we likely won the game.

I'll take slow down the offense for 200 Alex. At least in some of the cases.
Still doesn't excuse what 49 yards in the second half.
It was a great game.

Dale, what does it mean to lose to a sunbelt team then?

Faking or not, I have never seen a game where the fans booed a player who was down.
Even F$U fans don't pull that nonsense.
I've learned an awful lot about A&M fans from this first SEC game - and it isn't good.

No. They don't boo injuries. They cheer them.
Everyone reported that the aTm fans were great. The students booed. No big deal. Most students are drunk and dumb anyway.

Exactly. I was there when that shithole Doak/RZF erupted in celebration after Percy broke his ankle

Not only do I not care, but it was blatantly obvious they were faking. Especially when the player randomly falls down after the play, rolls around in the throws of death, then hops up and walks off no problem and that was the 2nd injury in as many plays. Yes, then you will get booed. Pretty sure we were in the doubt digits for downed players at that point. The first players with real injuries had the students step off the benches and applaud him getting back up. Fakers do not get the same sympathy.

Forrealdoe, from all accounts it seems the Gator fans had a great time in CS and the Ags provided a good atmosphere and were great hosts. Wish like hell I could have been there. Would rather the score have been in the Ags' favor, but all in all it was a banner day for my alma mater. Excited to continue the rest of the season!

Do you have this on your clip board for convenience?
Let it go. 99% of the gator fans here said it was no big deal and that you guys were great. Don't let one dissenting opinion get you all fired up. Now, I wish I could take my own advice all the time. I know this place makes it difficult.

So what you're saying is that Muschamp's strategy was to yank his best players off the field for several plays at a time. Makes perfect sense.
Posted on 9/10/12 at 4:45 pm to DocZaius
The rule is they have to leave for 1 play, not exactly a huge sacrifice.
I don't think the fakes were why we lost, gotta overcome that. I don't think booing fakers is a classy move but I understand it after it happens enough times.
Really folks didn't get riled up until you had one guy that was jogging back to the line and then looked over to the sideline and then suddenly jumps in the air grabbing his leg. After about 15 seconds on the field he magically jumps up and jogs off for his one play.
A&M did the same thing to OSU last year. It's a tactic. Didn't like it then or now. It just makes for ugly football.

How many cramps did Florida have on offense? How many did they have on defense? 
Posted on 9/10/12 at 4:51 pm to DesignatedT
Our starting OT (possibly best lineman & area that is thinnest) missed the majority of the game due to cramping. Pretty sure y'all boo'ed him pretty good.......
And I was waiting for the hissing. How come y'all didn't hiss at any of our injured players?

What quarter and time if you remember? What player?
The offense wasn't in the hurry up and plays ball control. Wouldn't they be less likely to cramp?
aTm had 49 yards in the second half. Did fake injuries cause that?
FWIW, I hate hurry up gimmick offenses and I hate that defenses fake injuries to slow it down. Both suck IMO.
I'm not ragging on aTm. I'm just not a fan of that style of offense. I don't care what team employs it. I hate the constant meerkat shiite.
