Who Has Class?
Just because the other team doesn't show any class, it does not mean your team does show it.
Sooner or later, fans should give in to the idea that every team and their fans stray from almighty behavior and kick another team when its down.
Last year, Florida fans couldn't use the word “classless” enough after the Georgia end zone celebration. Maybe Richt wanted his entire team to go out there to dance, and maybe he didn't. But he definitely knew he was taking a risk with the 15-yard penalty.
As it turned out, Georgia was hit with two penalties, kicked off from the 7-yard line, and Florida quickly scored a game-tying touchdown with a short field.
When Urban Meyer called those two timeouts at the end of the game this past weekend, he wasn't taking any risk. He was simply kicking Mark Richt when he was down.
This isn't the first time the pot has called the kettle classless. Last year, Saban called Ole Miss fans classless when they threw whiskey bottles and a high-heeled shoe on the field to protest a interference call at the end of a game.
A few weeks, later, Saban mentioned Pearl Harbor and losing to Louisiana-Monroe in the same thought.
It wasn't too classy of the Ole Miss fans to chant “Houston Nutt! Houston Nutt!” in the closing minutes of the Rebels' victory over Arkansas in Nutt's homecoming visit last weekend.
Arkansas fans can say what they want about the chant, but there's no doubt they will return the favor the first chance they get.
Actually, they did that night. Some Hog fans chanted, “Bobby! Bobby!” as their team mounted a late-game comeback that eventually fell short.
The examples are endless. At some point, it becomes easier to stop worrying about associating college football with high and mighty behavior, and focus more on the fun of it.
When some coach pulls a stunt that only adds insult to injury against your team, laugh it off. Everyone is familiar with the expression “what goes around comes around.”
It will be that much more fun when your team gets its turn.
Pollsters Fail to Think Through Their Votes
Do these guys not think about why they are voting teams in a certain spot? The glaring mistake of the week is Georgia coming in at #14 in the AP, USA Today, and Harris polls. Really
