UM Coach Still Weeps over Gator Flop

UM Coach Still Weeps over Gator Flop

News flash: there are a lot of obnoxious college football fans. Wowee!


Now, sports columnist Mark Bradley has ranked SEC football fans in obnoxiousness, and guess what? Even without knowledge of the Gator Flop, UF fans could out-obnoxious PeeWee Herman laughing along to a Paris Hilton song.


But what is the Gator Flop? The Gator Flop was possibly the ultimate example of athletic show-offery in college history, a 1971 incident in which the Gators allowed Miami to score a touchdown so that UF quarterback John Reaves could get the ball back and set an NCAA career passing record.


Afterwards, the UM coach, Fran Curci, got his panties in a twist and refused to shake hands with UF coach Doug Dickey, then told ESPN: “I lost all respect for him as a coach and as a man.” Meanwhile, we forgot the whiner was a man at all.

 

We hear Curci's been crying in the shrink's office ever since.

"coach Doug Dickey then told ESPN"..... Uh, no he didn't. ESPN didn't exist at the time. Posted 08/25/2008 3:08 PMReply

Just Florida showing its typical sportsmanship, a tradition later coaches (e.g. Steve Spurrier) would perfect. Posted 09/05/2008 4:32 PMReply
