Georgia still upset over late timeouts last season

Last year, it was "The Celebration'' that served as a motivational tactic for the Gators heading into the annual Florida-Georgia rivalry.

Apparently this year, it's "The Timeouts.''

Florida was angry last season about the Georgia end zone celebration on the first touchdown of the year's previous game. Now it seems Georgia players are still mad about the two timeouts UF coach Urban Meyer called with 44 and 30 seconds remaining in last year's game, which the Gators won 49-10.

"It definitely motivates you,'' Georgia quarterback Joe Cox told the AP. "No one likes to be embarrassed like that.''

Following the game, Meyer said he was trying to get some little-used players, particularly RB Emmanuel Moody, some game-time experience. This week, several Florida players backed Meyer's decision.

"I think everybody needs a little work,'' UF quarterback Tim Tebow said. "I know he wanted to get him (Moody) some experience in the Florida-Georgia rivalry, so I concur with his decision. I thought it was a good one.''

The Georgia players see it differently.

Of course Tebow is going to support Meyer's response. Good for Terron Sanders honest response to the AP reporter.

The late timeout calls were classless. UGa's celebration behavior the previous year was also classless, but Meyer should've tried to be a better man and let it go, letting the score speak for itself.

"T", 49-10. I'm letting the score speak for itself.

Nice (partial) reading comprehension Sphere - 49-10 is in the blog above.

And this is written in T's comment: "UGa's celebration behavior classless." Do you think he is a Bulldog?

David, I believe it is you who can't read and comprehend. I'm merely saying that I, as a UF alum and an individual, am letting the score speak for itself. I don't need Antonya English to feed me the score, I was there.

As for what allegiance "T" is, it's irrelevant to me.
