This is something we can both agree upon, my tacky-orange clad brother.
New Cocktail Party logo.
'meh'
That bridge is a bitch. Insanely narrow, loud as all hell.
edit: Bigger
I liked it more when the schools embraced the nickname rather than pretending that it's not just one big party for a week for about a hundred miles.

I believe the takeaway here is that every fan base is the worst and horrible, except for [insert your alma mater here], which is just passionate and misunderstood.
Also, I will never in my life NOT refer to Florida-Georgia as the Cocktail party, no matter how bad they want the name to go away.

Also - [insert your alma mater here] is the only school that doesn't throw batteries.
Colorado is the only school I know of that throws balloons full of urine. They've gotta be good at something I suppose.

Stupid question but as somebody who doesn't follow UF or UGA that closely, do ya'll actually drink cocktails at the tailgate/game, or do you just call it that and mostly drink beer/shots anyway? I just have a hard time imagining all those rednecks drinking cocktails (here in Tally you see very little of that, unless you count a soda + shot of booze as a "cocktail").

And Penn St. did it to our band on 2005, they refused to ever go back.
Jack and coke is a cocktail. Shit doesn't have to be a Manhattan to be a cocktail.
Growing up, it was Florida and LSU that were known as "Pisscups Universities." Now, it's perfectly understandable why LSU fans would bring cups to piss into, as they've been drinking hard liquor for at least 48-72 hours before the game. Florida fans, though, maybe they're just douchebags (is c***s banned here or not?)
I suppose Texas fans are less bandwagon-y than Bama fans. So there's that.
I don't know anything about the legitimacy of Yaboosh's claim about the students, but is there any school other than Texas whose fans just start off their coaching search thinking they can steal away the coach of the current CFB dynasty without much trouble?
I remember hearing somebody being accused of throwing batteries stuck inside marshmallows before, though I'm not sure why you would do that. I guess so you can see it fly better?

I agree with War Eagle.
The Alabama fan base is the dumbest fan base in all of sports.
The problem here is that you have a lot of pro-Alabama folks here who can't handle the truth. Then you have NC State fanboys like mre who just need a team to follow after their own team's implosion, who then take up arms and join the Alabama bandwagon.

I think the most "cocktail" like thing you'd see people drinking would be what mre spoke of, a jack and coke.

UM Oline is blowing it up this year!

Guessing they're a USC fan.
Till about a year ago then for some reason Oregon's play really won them over.

Hopefully they just need more time to gel and whatnot. Because right now I'm nervous the talent just isn't there - and there were questions about the group to begin with, so, yikes.
I do like Green. Flashes are there, even if he goes down kinda easy for a dude that size.

Oregon's play and how cool those uniforms are!
Zone stretch. I don't think we have gotten positive yards on it once all year. Has killed our offense since we are starting in second and 12-13 pretty much every drive. The coaches are learning hopefully since we only ran it maybe 3 times against Indiana (and it still got blown up for -2 or -3 yards every time). I think it might even be more than 23%. We were second in the country in negative runs before last week. Green has looked a lot more quick and fought for some yards the last few games but I would like to see more of him Deveon Smith, Hayes, Norfleet and the other young RBs. Toussaint has not been good this year, is shit as a blocker and is gonna die if they keep using him 95% of snaps all year.
They are gonna have to be smart with the offense if they want to do anything this week, need to mix up the snap count so MSU can't jump the snap like the last couple years. Throwing quick passes and screens to the receivers against stacked fronts is not being weak it's being smart. No 5+ step drops with a TE playing tackle. Throw the ball on first down a few times at least.
But it's on the road so I fully expect we will screw all these things up, go into ultra conservative mode, put ourselves in bad situations (and turn the ball over a few times because of it)
Article on Ro McClain and his exile from the NFL
Sounds like he needed to stay out of the NFL (and Decatur) and he finally realized this. Too many issues, and watching the Aaron Hernadez fallout scared him, because he was worried he could end up doing something similar.
Also, a bit on "hanger ons", the people who would call up asking for money, once he got drafted. The whole part about going back home for his Grandfather's funeral, only to have the family go for the expensive service and bill him for it. This is what got him pissed off, leading to the whole "pistol firing next to a guy's head" arrest.

The hanger ons seem to be a very prevalent thing with pro athletes. Good 30 for 30 on all the broke athletes, forget the name of it.. That was a common thread for most of them. Also, on how most of them either don't know how to budget or just don't do it, so they get paid after each game and they just spend it all partying or buying things for family members, and then they're broke in the offseason and trying to pick up part time jobs so they have gas money.
Gatas starting left tackle DJ Humphries injured his MCL yesterday in practice and is out for 2-4 weeks.
Injury update on the Dawgs. Gurley is 100%. Michael Bennett (receiver) should be playing. Grantham expects Josh Harvey-Clemons and Tray Matthews to play. So this is likely the healthiest UGA will be all year. Until we lose some more players during this game.

Well, the LT doesn't help, but Gurley back changes my pick. UGA by 4

We seem to be fairly snakebitten. This game is going to be another laughably bad performance.
Seems about right to me, but I agree, I don't think the LT being out hurts Florida's "offense" that much.
I think it's going to be a game filled with derp on both sides. Probably best enjoyed fully intoxicated. I expect our defense to make you think that Muschamp and Co finally changed things and everything started clicking. Don't get false hope, our secondary filled with true freshmen has made opposing QB's look great all year.

Oh shit Gurley is back. Changing my pick to UGA by 4 as well.

UW says Kasen Williams has undergone successful surgery. Broken fibula, foot ligament displacement repaired with pin. Out 2-4 months
Shitty that he's out for the rest of the season, but at least as a silver lining he should be able to make it back for spring ball. A lot of people were worried he wouldn't even be able to practice until fall camp.

If you promise to keep this casual attitude on Saturday, I will too. Could be fun. Get drunk, make a drinking game for both sides, get more drunk.

I don't know about how dumb they were, but the Bama fans that came up to watch the Tide slaughter Duke were really nice people. Most of the fanbases that come to the Wade are usually nice, even when they lose. UVA was probably the most arrogant and Miami brings the most bandwagoners. Every time they come, you'll see a bunch of cars decked out with Canes logos and stickers and not one of them has a Florida license plate. I aint gotta love it cause the hood gonna love it.
I generally don't post during games, superstition thing and I get too into the game. This is still a huge game and I hope we beat the shit out of Florida, but the whole season lost some of it's luster after we lost so many starters and watched the season wilt away before our eyes. At this point we can just hope to beat all of our biggest rivals, and look forward to next year when Gurley and Marshall will be juniors, and everyone else except for Murray will be back. That's when we go into the Bama QB playbook, we just have a guy that doesn't screw things up.
Rumor is that failed the bar twice, gave up, and started "writing."
That said his first book isn't bad. It was when he started writing the second one when he tuned to a slimball.
