Pat, good show and comments.
(1) The situation just feels like the Semihole regime is about to spend what’s left of their savings account and plus make a loan for their final disaster coach hire. I predict they are staying in a pre-Bowden mode. Other than the Coach Bobby era, nothing special about the whole place. I will never forgive Bobby Bowden and Mickey Andrews for ordering up the back breaking of Danny Wuerffel. I always wanted to ask Bowden what he would have felt like if Danny had sustained a serious back injury? That tactic was not “just football”, it was stupidity at its cheapest. Gators, take no prisoners Saturday night! I guess you know how I feel about the holes.
(2) Yes, the sporting public spends enough money to deserve to know what penalties both football refs and PGA pros receive.
Dewayne, how valid is that story? I’ve heard it, of course — everyone has. But is it true? I’m asking because I was out of country a lot during that time frame. Now if it was just Mickey Andrews, I’d have less trouble believing it……but Bobby Bowden?
I’ve seen video of Bobby Bowden stating they told their DEs to “hit until you hear to the whistle”…OHBC has complained they didn’t protect QBs back then like they should have. If memory serves me, it finally took two back to back late hit calls to stop the crap in the second half. I’ve also read Danny’s book which looks back at that day.
I was at the 1993 UF/FSU Swamp game and can remember the refs were watching poor little Charlie Ward like white on rice for protection.
Thanks bud.
I believe the exact statement was to “play to the echo of the whistle”. Maybe I’m way off here, but doesn’t the echo of any sound come AFTER the sound is made? I watched late hit after late hit on Danny and he still played through it. But it all worked out when SOS kicked the Criminoles asses all over the Superdome field for the National Championship. Mickey Andrews is a punk and payback was hell, wasn’t it, Bobby?
10-4 all the above
So why wait until 2020 to ask the head of SEC refs about transparency? Why didn’t you ask years ago? Does the Sun forbid you to, or is this some sort of career-termination move? Why not pick up the phone last month and call him? Why the hesitation?
