But, I have to wonder why all this anger about it. Are we really as bad as Miami because Doe took two steps in a "showboating" style? Have we really become the manifestation of evil because of it? Where was all this anger last season when Brandon Spikes kicked the ball into the stands? Or, where was it a couple of years ago when Travis McGriff threw the ball in the stands. Both had already entered and run through the end zone. The play was over. Doe started showboating in the field of play and led to a fumble that, thankfully, was not called. Showboating after the play is a mild ire. In some cases, such as Michael Irvin running into the tunnel - it's even humorous. Showboating during the play - an act that could lead to a costly turnover, is the epitome of what is bad about a "me first" attitude in team sports. It's also dumb. At the very least, I like to take solace in the assumption that our players are smarter and better coached than the other team's players. -Zeb --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
