Here is part of the reason that the charges against Tony Joiner were dropped: Death and Bombs from the Florida faithful. Stay classy Gators!! Sure, it was humiliating for Joiner, being stripped of his captainship and being forced to sit out the opening series of the game [link]. Les Miles better watch his back. [YMSWWC]

“I’m just glad it wasn’t Tim Tebow, that’s all I can say,” Forron said with a sad chuckle in an interview with FLORIDA TODAY. “I think I would be covered in 10 feet of concrete right now if it had been Tebow.”
“He (Joiner) was a perfect gentleman,” Forron said. “That had a big influence on why I wanted (the charges dropped). If he had been yelling and screaming, they wouldn’t have been dropped.” In the phone recordings, the people screaming in the background must have been the employees.
Here is one more reason (pic from warchant)
I’m still going to the big game, guess I’ll just be cheering on LSU. How sweet it would be to see all those cal fans make the trip all the way out here, only to get dishragged in LSU’s back yard
This has been one of the most humorous situations I’ve ever seen. He went from taking a car from an impound lot at 4am to not being charged with anything at all and it’s all because all parties involved are Gator players and fans and it happened in Gainesville and LSU was the opponent on Saturday.
They’ve got their own little set up down there. Nice.
UGA players get thrown in jail and suspended 2 games for making an illegal pass on a scooter and UF players fail drug tests and jack cars from impound lots and get the capital “C” taken off their jersey. This is freaking awesome. I’ve just been giving you UF fans a hard time in a joking way, but this is as dumb as it gets. Losing is one thing, but the crap that’s tolerated down there is first class. All I can think is……. awesome.
I’m curious as to what it would take for Meyer to suspend a player for a truly big game, like this LSU game. Murder? Rape? Getting caught driving a van made of pot?
You think this is a situation unique to UF? UGA is a situation where the team has to make up for the shortcomings of the male student populace
You guys obsession with the Gators is amazing.
UT gets their season back on track with a big win over UGA (the first one at home in the last 4 tries) and yet the last 4 topics on this blog has been all about the Gators (and Joiner). Unbelievable. Just go ahead and change the banner at the top of the page to the Gator logo.
The only way you all would be satisfied is if Joiner was still locked up in the clink. If you all think that this same shit doesn’t go on at UT or UGA, you’re idiots.
This is one of the saddest things I have ever read. Can we subpoena LL’s phone records?

Sorry, but it doesn’t happen at this level and if it did, players would be punished long before “justice takes its course”. If Richt did tolerate this kind of thug activity, we’d be in contention for a MNC right now. In case you haven’t noticed, unusually good teams are revealed to be full of deception and rule breaking. Not always, but most of the time. Meyer tolerates illegal activity to a certain extent, thus yall keep great players around that have criminal issues. No big deal as long as MNCs and SEC titles come rolling in. Joiner sits 1 probably 2 games at UGA immediately. Then he crashes his scooter into a parked Campus Police car and is sent to death row. 2 underrage drinking violations gets a UGA player kicked of the team and out of the school. Harsh, but true.
USC- Reggie Bush’s parents house
UF- Not enough fingers on my hand to count
OhSU- That Clarett thing was a problem, kind of.
Miami- Good god, does it really need to be mentioned?
OkU- Bomared
LL, UF has been anointed as the chosen ones by ESPN. UF has more that the usual discipline problems. UF will be the target of everyone for the near future.
Tebow’s taunting and huge personality attracts all attention.
No worries, yall will get another shot at LSU in the SECCG, sorry UT, but you’re not as good as UGA made you look. UGA will probably lose 3 more before we’re done.
