Video: Georgia Coach’s Choke Sign To UF Kicker<http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/video-georgia-coachs-choke-sign-to-uf-kicker-29194> Posted by Brooks <http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/author/brooks/> on Nov. 01, 2010, 10:38pm Before Florida’s *Chas Henry* made the game-winning field goal in overtime against Georgia to give the Gators a 34-31 win in Jacksonville Saturday, Bulldogs head coach *Mark Richt* called timeout in an attempt to pile the pressure on Henry. [image: Georgia Coach Signals Choke At Florida Kicker]<http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/video-georgia-coachs-choke-sign-to-uf-kicker-29194> Also apparently part of Georgia’s psychologically-based strategy to distract the kicker at that time was Bulldogs defensive coordinator *Todd Grantham*<http://www.georgiadogs.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/grantham_todd00.html>repeatedly displaying the choke sign - with his hands around his own neck - in Henry’s direction. >From video of Grantham, he clearly gave the choke sign *four* different times - while throwing in what appeared to be some rather creative language for Henry’s benefit. Henry said after the game - via *Jeff Schultz* of the ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION<http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/2010/11/01/did-grantham-give-florida-kicker-the-choke-sign/?cp=13>- that he did notice Grantham’s antics, and that the coach apparently wasn’t alone in trying to distract the Florida kicker: “*Some of their coaches on the sideline were giving me a little grief, saying I was gonna choke.”* After viewing a video reply of Grantham, columnist and noted lip reader *Pat Dooley* of the GAINESVILLE (FL) SUN<http://twitter.com/#!/pat_dooley/status/29412451486>confirmed Grantham spraying saying: *“You’re gonna bleepin’ choke. You’re gonna choke.” *Dawgstradamus Grantham ain’t. -- 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
