Gators ‘D’ to Vols: We’re Taking Your Cheese to Make Deluxe Sammiches!

As fans of college football are aware, the Florida Gators travel to hostile Neyland Stadium this weekend to face the Tennessee Volunteers.

After a season where they failed to look coordinated enough to walk and chew gum at the same time, Tennessee’s offense came out the gate this season looking quite impressive, thanks in no small part to the addition of OC David Cutcliffe. But according to UF safety Tony Joiner, who lead the defensive effort against offensive juggernauts Southern Miss and Central Florida, the Vol offense isn’t just about to slow down. It’s going to get shutout.

"That really is where we want to get. We really want to get into somebody else and take their cheese. Make a sandwich in the kitchen. Ham and cheese with a little turkey, mustard and mayonnaise."

Anyone wanna take a guess at how well ole Tony did on the analogies and metaphors in the SAT?

I spent a few minutes trying to break down his statement and figured that cheese must be moxy or, even better, confidence! But why cheese for confidence? I had a Roasted Chicken Breast at Subway last night and while the melted shredded cheese made it good, the chipotle sauce made it a party in my mouth. If anything, Remedial Tony needs to be worried about stealing the chipotle… and I need to move on.

The one thing that isn’t in question here is Remedial Tony’s belief that the Gators, who shut out Central Florida and held Southern Miss to 7 points, have the best defense in the nation.

"That’s how we feel, that’s how we are going to play and that’s what we’re going to look forward to doing week in and week out, shut a team out…"We really can (do it again)."

Against Tennessee this week?

"Yes… We’re just playing with unbelievable confidence right now. "We have a bunch of guys who are very, very talented who are getting the job done every time we step on the field. We just feel like it. We have a great scheme, we have great defensive coaches. Everything is in place."

Well, I guess that settles it. Remedial Tony & the Gator Crew are confident and they “just feel like it.”

I seem to recall similar smack (“It could be a blowout or just a regular victory”) before the Gators walked into Tuscaloosa and got their asses handed to them but who knows, maybe Remedial’s right. The Vols need to be put on notice at the very least! God forbid they show up to Neyland on Saturday with that good Colby-Jack deli cheese only to be stripped of it and lose their chances at the SEC title.
