RoyalOrleans Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Favorite NFL Team: Atlanta Falcons Favorite MLB Team: Atlanta Braves (If I weren't, I'd be a St. Louis fan! Albert Pujols is god-prodigy!) Favorite NBA Team: Atlanta Hawks, however its a love/hate kind of relationship. And I don't rush home to see a game either. Favorite NCAA Football Team: Georgia Bulldogs (Yet, I pull for any SEC team when playing out of conference with the exception of Tennessee.) Favorite NCAA Basketball Team: I don't know. I'm a fan of the game, really, and more or less root for the underdogs during March Madness. Favorite NHL Team: Atlanta Thrashers (I have a love/hate relationship with hockey. I never rush home to make the start of a game.) NASCAR: I hate it. No... I loathe it. Quote To be the Man, you've got to beat the Man. - Ric Flair Everybody knows I'm known for dropping science.

timesjoke Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I love to watch all sports but I have few 'favorite' teams these days. 20 years ago when you had a sports team it was made up of the same players year after year, they were like a family you were connected to.....these days in professional sports you can be cheering on a guy one week and booing him on the other team the next week, to me they have ruined a lot of teams with this. I love football, the Pats winning so many games with usually one of the lowest salary caps is impressive, I was stationed in Colorado so you can't live there without catching Bronco fever, the mile high stadium is always sold out every season no matter how their playing. But I have mostly turned to college sports because there you can still find love of the game, passion of the "TEAM" and a drive to perform for each other. And of course my Alma Mater, the University of Florida, is my favorite team. If they hold together, Florida will be the college football team to beat this year, we lost few starters and have Tim Tebow leading the pack again, it should be an interesting season for us to say the least Quote
phreakwars Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 I don't care for sports, except women gymnastics, and womens beach volleyball. The only TRUE spectator sports worth watching. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
RoyalOrleans Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Football: Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans I like the Chiefs chances with Cassel and the Texans chances with a health Schaub! College Football/ basketball: Missouri Tigers How do you think Mizzou will do without Chase Daniel? And what do you think of the Redskins drafting Daniel? Do you think he will get the back up position over Hawaii's former QB Colt Brennan? So.............. many questions.

Chi Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Don't really watch sports anymore, but I prefer the White Sox over the Cubs, even though I live on the North Side of the city (and this was even before the Sox won the World Series in '05, thank you very much!) I used to love the Bulls when Michael, Scottie, BJ, etc. played in the 90's. And I still root for Chicago teams when they play other cities - Chicago Fire, Wolves, Blackhawks, Bears, etc. Quote

Without Percy Harvins to throw to, who does Florida have to make big plays other than Tebow? Harvins was a great player, but he had been out a couple key games last season with injuries and we adapted well in short notice, Urban Meyer has had all the off season to train other players and design new plays to adjust the entire program instead of just making do with a short term loss. Being as we lost so few starters, I do not think we will have many problems and Tebow will be even more experienced this season and that should give us a few more points on the board that normally would not be there with a less experienced QB. Put simply, Tim is a leader, his team actually almost worships him and will do more for him than they normally would be able to do. You know as well as I do the seperation between talent from man to man and team to team is sometimes very small and it is the motivation and drive that wins the game, not any one player on the field.

That's one thing I have always admired about Urban Meyer, he graduates a lot of players.

We'll see how Georgia adapts to said theory, because I was so sick of watching Matthew Stafford make horrible decisions in the pocket. Grr.... it would just piss me off to no end!

timesjoke Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Meyer's program is built around Tim Tebow and others are trained to follow. I agree, all good teams tend to build themselves around a good QB. They are the leadership, I have never seen a team win a championship without a good QB. That's one thing I have always admired about Urban Meyer, he graduates a lot of players. He certainly pushes the academics, that is not to say there is not some "help" being supplied to some players, it is just to a lesser degree than some.

We face Georgia on Oct 31st in Jacksonville, I would not mind a little wager with you if you want........ Ohh... no fukken way. Georgia might shock the world with Cox and Samuel, but I don't think they can beat Florida in Florida... again. Just beat Tennessee and Auburn. I don't care how you look at the game in Jax: argue the venue size, etc, all you want, I have always believed the game to be a home game for Florida.

timesjoke Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 New York Giants and Eli Manning? Are you saying Eli is not a good QB? That's why they all major in "Communications". Why not? All the sports shows are filled with retired sports players, lol. Ohh... no fukken way. Georgia might shock the world with Cox and Samuel, but I don't think they can beat Florida in Florida... again.

I don't know man, Jacksonville is on the State line and is filled with Georgia natives. I can honestly say that I have never thought the stands were more filled one way or the other in an extreme level. If any game during the regular season is neutral, it is that game. Quote
RoyalOrleans Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Are you saying Eli is not a good QB? Yes. I am saying that. Eli is a big sissy mama's boy, too. Why not? All the sports shows are filled with retired sports players, lol. Troy Aikman is damn good colorman. I don't know man, Jacksonville is on the State line and is filled with Georgia natives. I can honestly say that I have never thought the stands were more filled one way or the other in an extreme level. If any game during the regular season is neutral, it is that game. From Athens to Jacksonville is a long ass ride. From Gainesville to Jacksonville ain't nearly as far. The Dawgs spend more time getting there than practicing, running drills, etc. I was there in '07.

timesjoke Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Yes. I am saying that. Eli is a big sissy mama's boy, too. I don't know if I would go that far, he is pretty good compared to what we have comming out of college these days at the very least, lol. I personally feel he is pretty good, but I don't spend as much time glued to pro-football the way I used to so maybe your right.......I know he just got a sweet contract so he must be doing something right Troy Aikman is damn good colorman. lol. From Athens to Jacksonville is a long ass ride. From Gainesville to Jacksonville ain't nearly as far. The Dawgs spend more time getting there than practicing, running drills, etc. I was there in '07. Nothing stops them from getting there earlier, and there is more than just Athens who are Georgia fans, as I said, the stands seem to be fairly equal support from both sides so this is as close as you can ever get to a neutral game.

timesjoke Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 That's easy for a Florida fan to say. You said you were there in '07, did it seem all florida fans to you? Well maybe at the end people were converted when Georgia didn't look too good but at the beginning did you think it was all Florida? Quote
