didn't see this before...
real classy, Ingram. is it because it happens so rarely that opposing players just can’t help themselves when they beat the gators? not nearly the guy your coach is.
I've seen many a Gator fan do that obnoxious chomp to opposing fan's faces.....
…..so when they lose the Gators are going to get mocked.
Somebody is a little butthurt
But I guess it’s okay to do it if you’re tebow, right??

Get over it...
He is celebrating the biggest won ‘Bama has had in 20 years. Let the boys have fun. It isn’t classless at all; the guy is happy about our dominate performance…no one can blame him. It’s called emotion.

If...
If Florida fans can do it to us when they’re wheeling off Prothro with a career-ending injury, one of our guys can do it them when we spank them in Atlanta with a trip to Pasadena on the line.
And besides, be a man about it. If you’re going to have a gay body motion cheer in the first place, realize that people will imitate it when they beat you. It comes with the territory. Don’t like it? Well, don’t have a gay body motion cheer in the first place.

don’t forget, they’re still kids. I mean they are sophmores in college and they just won a HUGE game to win the SEC and cement their place in the National Championship Game. Emotion is right.

Do you like it when auburn sings rammer jammer after a win?
Just saying.
And I give all props to Ingram. He was the best player tonight, and best in the country. Doesn’t mean I have to like the twist of the knife.
No...
…I don’t like it, but it comes with the turf. If we’re going to talk that level of shit (and “Rammer Jammer” is about as shit talking as it gets), then we’ve got to take our medicine when somebody gives it to us.
Which has not happened in
9 straight SEC games; hence we are the Crimson overlords for a year.
That said, the Gator chomp is the creepiest thing this side of Nuremberg.

I don't mind at all, actually...
They sing it every time they beat us, and hell rightfully so. I don’t like it, of course, but I certainly don’t have a problem with it either. It’s simple… if you do it, then you should be able to take a dose of your own medicine in return. Again, that comes with the territory of doing it in the first place.
Ingram didn’t do anything wrong. Now, had he gone over and licked Tebow’s tears, then yes you’d have an argument, but for the Gator chomp? No way.

It’s not like they were doing it for the attention of the cameras or the Gator players. The camera just happened to catch it while they were celebrating.
It much different than when Tebow was gator chomping in front of the Bama bench last year just to be an ass.

Exactly right.
In a perfect world. I would prefer that our players not do this, but it was plainly out of sheer exuberance, and on our sideline, not after a play and not directed toward UF’s bench, players, or fans.
Rec’d
And Urban...
…is the guy that kept calling timeouts to prolong Georgia’s misery last year. That’s coming from the man in charge, not a college aged player.
When has Urban ever done anything like that to Bama?
The 2 timeouts was a direct response to the celebration the year before by uga. Message received I’m pretty sure. He could have run up 60+ on Bobby last week. Anyway, I know I’m not winning any arguments on this board, and I’ve said my peace. Your game was dominant tonight, and I will root for you in Pasadena over those sad-sack horns. Karma is a bitch though, and a fairly well-documented one when it comes to opposing teams doing the gator chomp!
lol right?
maybe he’s just repeating the lesson he learned in a hard way tonight
he was injured. injured bad.
Huh?
I was following you up until this:
Karma is a bitch though, and a fairly well-documented one when it comes to opposing teams doing the gator chomp!
Huh? So I guess you’re saying that it’s ultimately going to come back to bite us in the ass that we did the Gator chomp? As in losing games, players getting hurt, whatever? But, of course, those things happen anyway. That’s not karma, that’s the reality of playing a physical, highly competitive sport. And, for the record, you could easily make that same argument back against yourself… tonight was just karma for doing it from last year, right?
I think you are placing way too much importance on some stupid little motion. Again, it’s really just a stupid body motion cheer, nothing more than that. To read anything more into it than that just means that you really need to put down the Gatorade.

I really feel like Saban is having more fun coaching in Tuscaloosa than he ever has anywhere else
he was injured. injured bad.
We've just got to keep this shit focused.
I’ve already gotten emails from Texas fan friends talking about loving their underdog role.
Let 'em think it...
… if any “Texas” fan is dumb enough to think that our team is legitimately going to overlook and underestimate these guys, they are probably just Aggies who are having a serious identity crisis.

As perfect as this game seemed to be, is our best game of football still out there?
Just looking at the drives we put together in this game, I’m not sure. Just long sustained drives, machine like.
I'm honestly going to say no...
… I’m going to have a longer piece up tomorrow on the subject, but I really don’t know if it’s humanly possible to play a better game than we played today.

only thing i can think of
is a couple passes that probably should have been caught.

i disagree.
there were some key breakdowns and places florida attacked. superb game? yes. dominant game? yes. perfect game? no.

yep. rest assured CNS has plenty of teaching points and examples from last nights game to use.

disagree
we can play better than we did last night. we had a missed PAT, julio had a drop, we had soem uncreative play calling in the middle of the 2nd quarter (we punted twice and didn’t manage the clock well towards the end of the half and wound up intentionally letting the first half expire). plus we gave up several big plays on defense. i expect that we will play better in all three pahses of the game vs tejas.
that game is going to be an unholy blood letting. Bama DESTROYS tejas by at least 30 points.

I think this was the complete game we've been looking for...
Some individual players could have made bigger plays, but total team effort? No.
We need one more like this in Pasadena.

we're still capable of better.
however, and effort like the one we got last night means we beat texas by at least 24 maybe 30. i think we’ll play even closer to perfect though and really, just seriously, beat the ever living shit out of one of the most overrated teams to make it to the title game in a long time. tejas finally played their first halfway decent opponent last night, and they very nearly blew it, even though nebraska was trying to hand them the game. tejas sucks, they did not pass the test in their only serious challenge (they somehow escaped with a W, but failed the test IMO), and they will be completely and utterly annihilated when they face the Crimson Tide.

I love it
Especially with Julio closing the mouth shut. It was an emotional win, I would have done the same thing.
36-0
If anything was classless...
it was when the Fl players ran out on the field, for warm ups I think, they ran around in the endzone facing our fans, doing the gator chomp nonsense. I agree 100% with OTS, if you can do something to someone, you darn better be able to handle it being done to you! ROLL TIDE!!!
Auburn fan here in peace
Congrats on the big win. I’m not going to lie, I was rooting for the Gators, but a small part of me did enjoy watching Tebow cry on national television.
Before this weekend, I thought that whichever team won the SEC championship game would get stomped by Texas. However, after watching them squeak by Nebraska by the skin of their teeth, I’m not so sure. I thought it was interesting that Les Miles took over coaching in the last 20 seconds for Texas.
Best of luck in the NC game. I can’t say I’m pulling for you, but I will say good luck.
And, in a related story, this week marked the 5,000th performance of the Broadway musical "Cats." It also marked the 5,000th time a guy turned to his wife and said, "What the hell is this?"
Why would you think this?

The best team is Texas is (likely) going to the Fiesta bowl, my friend, not Pasadena.

While I agree with that
I still believe the SEC is having a down year this season. Two great teams, one pretty good team, a bunch of mediocrity, and Vanderbilt. Going 12-0 against this year’s SEC isn’t as impressive as it usually is (it’s still very impressive, don’t think I’m not saying it is), and I just figured this would be the year that the SEC BCSNC game dominance came to a halt. I think TCU is probably the best team in the country, but given the events of yesterday, the Tide will probably walk away with the crystal football on January 8 (?).

the version of this argument seems to be...
the difference between the have’s and the have not’s in the SEC is vastly wider than in any other conference. so the question is, can we argue a top-heavy conference is more dominant than one that spreads the wealth a bit better?
not sure what i think about that but there is an aspect of that argument i can agree with. the increased parity makes watching the overall pac 10 and big 12 matchups more exciting than any given one you might get in the sec (unless you are emotionally invested in the outcome, of course).

I don't care for this sort of thing
and I said, “Stop that” when I saw it, but as others have indicated, Florida’s players and fans give the Gator Chomp after every big play and victory, so Ingram and Jones were letting off some steam. You see BJ Scott next to them and you just have the feeling that those three guys have heard enough about Florida. You sense that Florida’s coaches, when recruiting, talked badly about Alabama, and that they are/were tired of hearing about how Florida was the best team in the country.
I hope none of our fans threw sugar at any of their fans.
MATRIX: Bennett, I thought you were--
BENNETT: Dead? You thought wrong. Ever since you had me thrown out of the unit, I've been waiting to pay you back. Do you know what today is, Matrix? Payday.
i'm not a huge fan of this
but as mentioned above, it comes with the territory. find a texas fan and ask them what happens every time they lose (and sometimes all it takes is a big play)…horns down. it may not be as dramatic as ingram’s super giant gator chomp, but they get it from opposing players and fans alike. either don’t have a ridiculous hand sign thingy…or don’t lose. your choice.

Get use to it!
Teams and fans have been mocking the gators with that stupid chomp for decades, okay. get over it! I have been in the stands when UF has beaten FSU and they all mock the war chant. It happens. Thats what happens when you lose. And don’t thik UF wasn’t doing that before, during, and after the game last year. Those players remember that. Any if anyone can do it, its the players. And players like Ingram ran on them, was punches, scraped, scarred the whole game against that defense. He gets to do it. Its not classless by them, its kids having fun. Get over it and get over yourself. Jesus!
It's not what I would like to see from a potential heisman winner..
but it’s nice to see the gators on the other side, receiving the hazing. Any team that supports throwing the deep ball, being up by 4 scores deserves any response that comes.
I just hope Urban learned some class from Saban’s taking a knee in the red zone.
Got that winning feelin'
I don't get...
the oversensitiveness when it comes this. It’s not like they acted like the Boise state player who got LaGarret Blount’s wrath and did the gator chomp in a Florida player’s face. They did it on their own sideline celebrating, just like the Florida team would have been doing if they would have won. People need to ease up a little. If you get offended by someone making fun of another teams cheer, you’re taking the game too seriously, and you need to get a life.
First off....
Congrats to the Tide and the fans. I know , especially for the fans (my wife is a huge fan, to say the least) it’s been a long time coming.
The only complaint I got about the game: Saban shoulda let Upchurch run it in at the end just so Meyer would know how it feels when somebody runs up the score. However, Saban has more class than that and he had those boys completely focused and ready to go last night.
Ingram and McElroy last night, WOW!!! I can’t really say anything more. That defense was all over lil’ timmy and the best part about the game wasn’t only seeing the Tide celebrate the win, IT WAS SEEING LIL’ TIMMY TEBOW CRYING!!!!!!
We over at Tomahawk Nation THANK YOU for delivering that ass whoopin’ (if you don’t believe me, go check out the blog. Oh and we got a perfect snap shot of timmy and a fan crying too!!).

i thought about this myself...
and it makes more strategic sense to let the clock run out since, at that point in the game, your command over the clock eclipses your command over the score. even with a three-td lead, getting a touchdown opens the door to letting the opposing team control the ball. even if you aren’t concerned about losing – you don’t want injuries and you don’t want them to kill the momentum of the win you need to go into the championship game.
it was a classy move but, on reflection, it’s also the right strategy as well.
Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
Meyer...
…needed to know how it felt to be completely dominated and have the other team show mercy at the end instead of following his lead and running up the score like a classless hick. You should have heard the cheering when we first realized that our boys were lined up in the victory formation. So sweet….
