What a great game. The dislplay of emotion at the end of Florida/Tennessee is why college football is such an amazing spectacle and also my favorite sport. I just wish the NCAA wasn't so conservative in letting the kids show some emotion without getting penalized. I swear that it's a penalty for even thinking about celebrating a touchdown, let alone doing it. The refs are always chasing down the players in the end zone trying to get them out of there and back to the sideline. It's a joke.
Anyway, Tennessee sure did get a lot of help from the refs tonight. And I hate the Florida Gators almost as much as Al-Qaeda, so I'm certainly not complaining. The last personal foul should have been offsetting since the ref clearly saw both punches. It was almost like that ref was waiting for the Florida player to respond, if he didn't then the ref wouldn't have thrown any flag.
I'm not sure on the exact numbers, but I think Flordia had like 9 penalties to Tennesee's 1. Fulmer sure had some home cooking tonight. I loved how Fulmer, his policeman, and his daughter were running on the field after the winning field goal and one of his own players had to push them back towards the sideline since the game wasn't over yet.
Chris Leak looks like a future Heisman Trophy QB and the true frosh Ainge also looks like a damn good QB for the Vols. Schaeffer should be used a lot less, maybe one or two series each half.
