Karma

Karma (noun) - The cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person’s deeds in the previous incarnation.

There were many pleasing moments in college football this weekend, but none more so than watching the pain in Urban Meyer’s face as the Gators dropped three out of their last four games, this time to one of the bitches from their own stable of hoes. Let’s listen in to the pre-game locker room speech:

Urb: Fear does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Gators: NO, SENSEI!
Urb: Pain does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Gators: NO, SENSEI!
Urb: Defeat does not exist in this dojo, does it?
Gators: NO, SENSEI!

Despite a secondary that is remarkably bad (ranked 87th nationally) and a quarterback that continues to take a beating at the urging of the Sensei, the Gators lost Saturday to Georgia because of Karma. Plain and simple- Karma. Years of bad Karma had been built up from the ol’ ball coach delivering classless moments as the former Gator Coach. Then, Urban Meyer tipped the scales with his “icing the kicker like an a-hole” move he pulled against Auburn earlier this season.

And now, it’s coming back to get ya’. How’s that taste, Urban? I don’t normally endorse unsportsmanlike behavior or hoolaganism, but in the case of Mark Richt encouraging his entire team to storm the field upon their first touchdown, I strongly support it. Again- it’s Karma coming right back at you Urb.

It was also Karma that helped a bad quarterback in Matthew Stafford go 11-18 for 217 yards and three touchdowns against the Gators. Stafford is having a much better year than last year but is still only completing about 56% of his passes. And it was Karma that helped propel Georgia Freshman Running Back Knowshon Moreno to drop 188 yards on 33 carries, his best game of the season.

All of that adds up to three losses and a disappointing follow up season for the 2006 National Champions. If the Karma continues, there could be one more loss on the horizon with Vanderbilt this week, at South Carolina next week, or Florida State in the finale. One can hope anyways.

You’re welcome.
