Saw Photo on SEC NOW of UK Players Eating Gator 🐊 For Dinner Last Night! Was This True Or Photo Shopped Photo?

[shadowman4]

My sons told me that supposedly the UK player had Gator 🐊 for dinner last night. They sent me a photo of what looked like half eaten cooked Gator with its head still on. I told my sons I didn’t think UK coaching staff would do something like that, as that would be like rubbing salt in the Gators wounds. However I saw a photo of a half eaten Gator on SEC Now later last night that showed a photo depicting an eaten Gator and the commentator did say it was true story
My feeling is truly Stoops would not do that. If he did Karmas a bitch. Imagine all the Florida football players having that photo if real taped to their lockers prior to their return game to UK next year. That would be quite a bit of motivation for the Florida players I would think.
If someone can confirm or deny is this story is true that would be great.

Considering it was a official UK account that posted it I'd say it legit.....

I think what you saw was photo shopped from "Waterboy" when Momma had a big bowl of deep fried baby gators.

Just watching SEC Now. Had the UK defensive back Smith who had the pic 6. He did say in fact the UK team did in fact have smoked Gator as part of their meal. I really hate this as I think this is really going to piss the Florida team off for next years game. Does anyone else feel the same as me or do you feel it was just done all in good fun.

Don’t GAF what those gators think. Enjoy the win now!

As for the Gator for dinner, 100% real.

Coach talked about it on the radio show last night.

Caterer surprised them with it. They didn't order it or anything. Coach said he "preferred chicken." They earned it though, if they want to eat it

See my post above....

Karma is a myth. Doubt the caterer that served it as a surprise will suffer an ignominious defeat at the hands of the University of Florida.

If we're worried about that we aren't the program we wanna be. I mean by all means we are trying to be a football power and move up we can't be scared to puss Florida off lmao.

Serious question. Your age?

 

[southindycat]

Poor Gators 😮‍💨 Seriously, though. Any of you think they will play better because of what was served last night? Do they?

Ha! I'd hope they are already headed to Lexington next year ready for a war, and don't require a dead reptile for motivation.

Oh no. Heaven forbid we piss off a divisional rival. Wouldn’t want to do that in sports these days.

It’s good damn clean fun. You lose a game you’re favored to win. Expect some damn ribbing!

This is what is so bad about our “every thing is offensive” society. No one can tell the difference any more between serious bullying/abuse and well meaning poking.

Sorry if I’m ranting. I’ve dealt with thick skulls allllll day from 7 am on, not saying you are one btw. I’ve had to be very blunt with some people today because subtly wasnt working.

That’s no rant. That’s life.

Yeah, well. I’ve had it with some people this week. People have been way too whiny the past couple of days and over the most trivial no meaningful crap.

Understand totally. It’s a whiny assed world these days. Wish I could have put a few on the top tiers of the tobacco barn 40 years ago, give them something to whine about. Problem is, most of them weren’t born yet.

I mean. I get it. It’s ok to gripe a bit. We all do.
it’s healthy to vent and get it out. Other irs festers and we see what happens when that continues

But they way I look at it. It’s ok to gripe for a bit and then fix it/get it done. That’s natural. But continuing to whine when you have an avenue to fix it? That’s what gets my goat.

Ask for help. Make a plan. Do something.
What I see is a lot of people waiting for someone to do it for them or save them.

Ugh. NOW I feel old. 😂

 

[wildcatglenn]

I've had gator a few times. Not really a fan myself. This one was wrapped in bacon though. That had to make it better

Nothing wrong with old lol. Well there is, but, never mind. Don’t give in to the changes that are just for the sake of change. I’m older than dirt, but I still can make good decisions based upon experience.

Better meal, better tasting, absolutely worse for your arteries. 😂

Gator tastes like chicken lol....

Gator tastes like chicken lol....

Salty though

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Every seafood restaurant and sports bar in Florida that I go to carries gator on the menu. I have it at least once a week, usually as gator nuggets or gator bites as they call them. So this is no big deal and the Florida Gators are not going to pay any attention. They probably had gator too. It is very common around here.

 

[shadowman4]

Glad I am the only one that feels is going to be extra motivation for UF next. Clearly I am wrong in my opinion. Go Cats!

 

[Girthang]

Gator tastes like chicken lol....

That's what Tom Leach said

 

[EliteBlue]

We were pissed off for 31 years and we’re constantly made fun of….it never helped us beat them the next year

Gator is delicious and it’s amusing. Let them have fun…next year is a different team on both sides and I trust the hands we are in to not let another decades long streak happen

 

[Wildcats1st]

Gator is legal and perfectly normal southern food. Wildcat on the other hand will land your ass in prison. That’s what they get for designating their mascot as some sort of gamey reptile. When we beat ole miss maybe they can cook up some bear and when. We beat uScjr maybe some cocks (ok that’s wrong some chicken) Beat UGA keep an eye on your English bulldogs

 

[The-Hack]

We’d better quit making L’s Down gestures toward the Cards when we score, lest giving them greater motivation to beat us.

As to this Gator ish, I have eaten Gator once: at the pregame tailgate before the Florida game.

The consumption of Gator before and after games with UF is an SEC tradition in and of itself. As is doing the Gator Chomp back at them when you beat them.

Seriously, this is nothing.

Mama says dem gators is angry cause Dey gots all dem teeth and no tooth brush. - water boy.

It isn’t that you’re wrong… it’s just, well, BRING IT ON. Florida can have all the motivation they want. We’ll keep the better coach, better players, and home field advantage.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Gator—-It’s what’s for Supper!

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Better not eat any chicken, or it will really piss off South Carolina. 😳.
Pfft. As if they have had any respect for us for the last few decades. Now, I can certainly see the Peta nuts being outraged and protesting on campus or at a game. I can see some fat chick with green hair chaining herself to a goal post.

 

[Smashcat]

That would be quite a bit of motivation for the Florida players I would think.

Beating Florida three out of the last five years isn't motivation enough?

 

[Blueisbest]

It's no worse than eating KFC before or after we play USCjr.
