That stupid holding penalty makes us have to go through some nail-biting here at the end

OGT 2024: Week 14 Florida Gators at FSU Seminoles
- Thread starter Escambia94

And I am damn sick of this Nole-favoring announcing team from ABC...They are naturally ACC backers I guess.
Now we really DO have to burn some clock to put this away...That one late Nole TD never even HAPPENS without that questionable defensive holding being called on the 3rd down sack.
Now I have to listen to that damn "chop-chant" played by their band another few dozen times.

Well, we make it LOOK more "respectable" a win.
Bettors were appreciative too.
31-11.

This has gotta be the longest 14 seconds down to the 2 minute mark I have ever experienced.
I mean it--even with Norvell caring all his times out, a lot has happened between us getting in the red zone with 2:16 left.
AND, tgd Gatirs come up with ANOTHER FUMBLE. These announcers can be as bummed as they want: In truth it is HILARIOUS.

Not a very good game Statistically. Even for US--especially for the offense. I have to think even Billy can transcend his self-rationalizing excuses and begin to see the need for help there.
One other thing...I noticed something strange in the Doak crowd: By the 4th quarter and our finally starting to open up a solid lead, their fans did NOT appear dramatically disturbed by the growing certainty of another loss, nor even the accumulation of more and more fatal errors--itself the result of their team's sloppy play. The crowd shots showed neither empty seats nor unhappy fans; on the contrary, they seemed largely unaffected, happily cheering DESPITE the developing inevitability of another loss, in truth many still laughing happily and doing that insipid "warchant" as the score grew increasingly more lopsided.
In a way, I actually gave them credit for their determined, unwavering support--if that is indeed what I was seeing...HOWEVER::
At the same time I could only compare and contrast it to the empty seats and growing crescendo of derisive BOOs greeting OUR kids had such a loss been witnessed by a SWAMP night-crowd as ITS team completed what was about to be a 2-and-10 season, capped off by a home loss to its hated cross-state rival!
I sensed no irony there either--only a certain blithe and oblivious numbness. I found myself thinking, "Is this what 'beyond HOPE' looks like?!!"
I don't know. I guess WE can only take the approach that Billy took BEFORE the game in responding to questions about the general deterioration of that program over the course of the season leading UP to this finale:
"Hey--I have my OWN fields to hoe, my own chores and problems to address."
In other words, "NOT my problem."

One more thing before moving on:
I cannot help but feel, especially in light of Billy's apologies and wussey-ish surrender to Norvell at mid-field postgame that there are SOME things that our Coach STILL hasn't GRASPED about being a Gator AND the general nature of these rivalry games.
I hope he goes pretty damn easy in whatever "punishments" he was referring to in his postgame remarks--perhaps at MOST some extra laps or Stadium stairways for the whole team?
And by the way: THEIR guys made a big production of digging up a hefty patch of OUR midfield at the end of last year's game, for replanting at their "Loser's Cemetary" on campus back in Tallahassee...Crowed about it at the time and have been widely trolling about it ever since.
Might have been fair for Billy to note THAT publicly at some point. I know it isn't Napier's style to throw it right back in Norvell's face--But the Nole coach DID act childishly there in HIS behavior. Up til then I thought Billy was mostly laughing it all off--an attitude and reaction that I much approved!
