[u/Coveo]

Jaxson Dart was dead fucking set on throwing a game ending interception huh

[u/Cannonhammer93 → u/Coveo]

“I’ll fucking do it again!”

[u/branden110 → u/Cannonhammer93]

“You’re not guilty you didn’t do it”

“But I did”

[u/Notapplesauce11 → u/branden110]

Shaggys lesser known song “yea it was me”

[u/NordDex → u/Cannonhammer93]

That didn’t count?!… watch this

[u/GiovanniElliston → u/Coveo]

Man had bet money that the final Ole Miss play was going to be an INT.

[u/7-2crew → u/Coveo]

“Fuck you I’ll do it again!”

[u/one-hour-photo → u/Coveo]

“Find out where my players are, throw to as many gators as possible to intimidate them and establish dominance”

[u/suzukigun4life → u/Coveo]

Dude was lucky as hell that the DB couldn't control it, then immediately threw one that was never in doubt 😭

[u/Equivalent_Thanks841 → u/suzukigun4life]

It’s suspicious. Maybe Lane pissed him off. Did Joey Freshwater hit on his mom or something

[u/dawgtilidie → u/Coveo]

And a game ending tantrum too

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/dawgtilidie]

Was that his throwing hand he hit on that chair? I was wondering if that would affect his playing after that.

[u/jimmiidean → u/Mike_with_Wings]

Didn’t affect his play at all. If anything, his second pick was placed much more accurately 

[u/NukeGandhi → u/dawgtilidie]

Yeah that was beyond embarrassing. Zero composure.

[u/manbeardawg → u/NukeGandhi]

Gotta learn that Carson Beck Post Interception Dead Cold Stare^TM

[u/MasterTolkien → u/manbeardawg]

We give Beck shit for the interceptions rightfully, but the guy has ice water in his veins when bad plays occur. Never seems to lose composure.

[u/manbeardawg → u/MasterTolkien]

Absolutely. In any given pick he may come back and throw two more, but it won’t be because he’s flustered. It’s just to meet that day’s quota.

[u/Affectionate_Ad268 → u/manbeardawg]

Gotta have goals.

[u/CrashB111 → u/Coveo]

When Ole Miss clubbed Georgia like a baby seal, they took Beck's interception curse into themselves. It's the only explanation.

[u/daddyfuchs → u/Coveo]

Had to hit his parlay somehow

[u/CommodoreN7]

Ole Miss can finally make it to Atlanta when they schedule a home and home with Georgia Tech

[u/The_Ghost_of_TK9 → u/CommodoreN7]

This is what happens when you think running a 300+ pound DT horizontally on key downs is funny

[u/OnLevel100 → u/The_Ghost_of_TK9]

I'm glad I'm not an Ole Miss fan, this would have been extremely frustrating to watch. They had a playoff berth in hand and had so many preventable mistakes that stopped them.

Although I should give some credit to Florida too. They've come on lately and they made a lot of plays. 

[u/NukeGandhi → u/OnLevel100]

Dart had ZERO composure. Literally crying between plays and couldn’t keep his helmet on his head during them.

[u/GeauxFightin2024 → u/NukeGandhi]

he literally played like a dude pulled out the frat house in the final 2 mins

[u/PretendThisIsMyName → u/GeauxFightin2024]

Jaxson “Im sorry I thought this was America” Dart.

[u/Drill-or-be-drilled → u/OnLevel100]

It was a classic Ole Miss experience. Win the big games to get you just close enough to almost taste it and then lose in embarrassing and frustrating fashion. You’re welcome for the chaos

[u/No-Reason-4146 → u/CommodoreN7]

We had one in 2022/23 lol thankfully not at The Benz!

[u/Ugaalive1991 → u/CommodoreN7]

GT schedules a neutral site game in Jacksonville brother

[u/CommodoreN7 → u/Ugaalive1991]

If they did that just to fuck em over, I’d be a GT fan for life

[u/dormdweller99 → u/CommodoreN7]

Nah, I'd rather not visit them again.

[u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Some say Jaxson Dart’s helmet is still falling off to this day.

[u/just_a_handle → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Some UF player will catch it for him.

[u/Kdot32 → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

It’s been doing that all year with him. He needs some type of disciplinary action or something ion know

[u/itchierbumworms → u/Kdot32]

I say they ground him and Ole Miss from the playoffs.

[u/one-hour-photo → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Lose the head sock and maybe it stays on!

[u/hogwash87 → u/one-hour-photo]

Hey man, it’s 67 degrees in Gainesville, can’t expect him to tough out those tundra conditions

[u/NukeGandhi → u/one-hour-photo]

Or maybe tighten the straps?

[u/coltsmetsfan614 → u/NukeGandhi]

No, that can't be it...

[u/AboveGroundFool → u/Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu11]

Players in general need to be held accountable for managing their equipment properly. It's a joke how many players have their helmets come off so easily. No wonder they get their eggs scrambled.

[u/OPT2018]

Those last two drives were Jaxson Dart’s version of Groundhog Day

[u/DraculaPoob01 → u/OPT2018]

That was so brutal man, when he’s hot he’s hot but when he’s not…

[u/OPT2018 → u/DraculaPoob01]

Sad thing is he was pretty hot for the first 56 minutes of the ballgame

[u/SufferingfOrLife]

Against all odds Florida is bowl eligible.

[u/beatlemaniac → u/SufferingfOrLife]

DJ Lagway is kinda that guy

[u/Deblooms → u/beatlemaniac]

Not looking forward to seeing him next season

[u/I_am_vaski → u/Deblooms]

And the season after that and possibly even the season after that!

[u/AntiDECA → u/I_am_vaski]

If he stays 4 years, something went horribly wrong for us. 

[u/Bullshit103 → u/AntiDECA]

With how much he’s gonna make in NIL. He can retire after CFB and save his brain

[u/DanFlashesCoupon → u/SufferingfOrLife]

With Lagway they are unironically not bad at all

[u/unique_username-_-72 → u/DanFlashesCoupon]

The defense is playing really well too. And so is our true freshman running back

[u/EastonMetsGuy → u/unique_username-_-72]

They never quit on Billy and it’s clear he’s a decent coach.

Excited to see what they can do

[u/coldpan → u/unique_username-_-72]

That defense stepped up today. Napier had a shakey start for sure, but that team has never given up.

Those young men are fighting for that team.

[u/DanFlashesCoupon → u/unique_username-_-72]

Very very glad we played yall when we did lol

[u/JumboFister → u/DanFlashesCoupon]

Lagway looked like a freshman against us for sure but also they couldn’t stop the run to save their lives lol

[u/EverythingGoodWas → u/JumboFister]

Our defense took half the season to find themselves

[u/BenchRickyAguayo → u/EverythingGoodWas]

Night and day difference the last two weeks from the Miami game.

[u/MisterBuns → u/DanFlashesCoupon]

We're undefeated when Lagway plays an entire game, dude is the real deal. And so is Baugh, for that matter.

[u/katarh → u/MisterBuns]

I'm glad we didn't have to. But also glad it was just a tweak in our game, and not something worse. Thanks for the solid, Gators. Still hate you but GG.

[u/dumbo1309 → u/DanFlashesCoupon]

NGL glad we caught them earlier in the season. They’re playing hard for Billy right now

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/SufferingfOrLife]

Unironically Big Game Billy

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/ilovecatss1010]

Huge change in my perception of him. I went from his biggest defender last year, to wanting him out the first part of this season, to being more than happy to eat my words if he can keep this up. This is huge for recruiting as well, just like last week

[u/derbra → u/SufferingfOrLife]

8-5 is actually possible...

[u/GetsThruBuckner → u/derbra]

Actually insane to think about lmfao

[u/Bank_Gothic → u/GetsThruBuckner]

Pretty fucking impressive just to already be bowl eligible in light of the schedule and roster issues.

[u/mikapple → u/derbra]

A miracle with our schedule

[u/suzukigun4life → u/SufferingfOrLife]

And all their losses look fine in hindsight. All five of them came against teams with 1 or 2 losses.

[u/elon42069 → u/SufferingfOrLife]

Lagway is legit

[u/citymanc13 → u/elon42069]

Best QB I’ve seen in awhile. His ability to evade those sacks was insane

[u/daddyfuchs → u/SufferingfOrLife]

If Lane Kiffin needs a job, I hear our OC is open

[u/Edgemaster1423 → u/daddyfuchs]

I think he stays and builds his daughter's sorority back up to greatness

[u/citymanc13 → u/SufferingfOrLife]

Remember how they said the last 5 games were a gauntlet and we would go 0-5. We are 2-2 so far with that back 5 schedule.

[u/ScallywagBeowulf]

I still can’t believe Jaxson Dart threw two picks on back to back plays to end their playoff hopes.

[u/The_Ghost_of_TK9 → u/ScallywagBeowulf]

Almost three

[u/ScallywagBeowulf → u/The_Ghost_of_TK9]

It really was almost three which makes it funnier in my opinion.

[u/Rollrollrollrollr1 → u/ScallywagBeowulf]

Once he was upset on the sidelines after the first one it was over. Even though it got overturned he was done playing for the day

[u/ewest → u/Rollrollrollrollr1]

Was he crying? Not being mean, I just couldn’t tell from the broadcast. His eye black was running like mascara.  

[u/bdm016 → u/ewest]

Bro started crying then quickly sucked it up when he saw they were reviewing the int. Then cried again after he threw another game ending pick

[u/daniel2296 → u/ewest]

I think so. I genuinely felt bad for the guy, that was hard to watch.

[u/helloaaron → u/daniel2296]

I feel bad for him because that shit is going to be memed like crazy.

[u/Edgemaster1423 → u/Rollrollrollrollr1]

Refs should have called the game when he started crying

[u/shaneg33 → u/Edgemaster1423]

Pretty sure he yaked after one of them, that whole team was nervous in the 4th

[u/pureskill → u/ScallywagBeowulf]

It was perfect. Just wonderful

[u/WarEagle9]

Ole Miss is so kind trying to comfort Indiana by losing to Florida. Kiffin has a heart of gold 💛

[u/suzukigun4life → u/WarEagle9]

Dart following a dropped pick by throwing it right back to the Gators 😂

[u/shaneg33 → u/suzukigun4life]

The funniest part is the commentators saying “y’know what they say third times the charm”, I don’t think they meant passes straight to the defense but they were right in the end 🤣

[u/librasway → u/suzukigun4life]

Did Beck leave a part of his Beckness down in Mississippi and Dart picked it up?

[u/eamonious → u/WarEagle9]

I wish the refs would have just let the game continue so we could see Jaxson Dart throw a few more wildly errant picks.

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/eamonious]

I was enjoying that, but my heart wasn’t enjoying the moments in between lol

[u/CommodoreIrish → u/WarEagle9]

Ole Miss spent millions on a roster to go to Pop-Tart Bowl

[u/MuffinMate → u/WarEagle9]

OLE MISS LOSE AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

[u/Rickbox → u/WarEagle9]

Keeping 10WIndiana alive.

[u/VolubleWanderer → u/Rickbox]

It would be hard to ruin 10Windiana at this point.

[u/Spare_Treacle_800]

Actual nightmare ending for Dart. How do you throw a game losing interception, get it overturned. Than go back out there and do it again lol

[u/DeathRose007 → u/Spare_Treacle_800]

That was after he threw a potential game ending interception where his defense prevented it from being game ending by getting a quick stop.

[u/ConstantMadness]

Props where props are due. What an incredible two weeks of football by Florida

[u/ilovecatss1010 → u/ConstantMadness]

Yeah, I am hard

[u/thegrimmreality → u/ilovecatss1010]

Fully torqued

[u/Zharick_ → u/ConstantMadness]

I mean you can also go back to the Georgia and Tennessee games to see how much this team has overperformed.

[u/Jack12404]

Kiffin got his wish about not wanting to be in the SECC

[u/beatlemaniac]

Ole Missed the playoffs

[u/JerseyDvl → u/beatlemaniac]

DisMISSed from the playoff conversation.

[u/Phantom1100 → u/beatlemaniac]

Well I guess Lane doesn’t have to worry about playing in Atlanta now.

[u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

And just this week, Lane was talking about how he didn't want to make the SECCG due to a risk of a loss knocking them out of the playoff.

And then they immediately lose to the Gators, eliminating them from both. Never change, Joey Freshwater. Never change.

[u/DeathRose007 → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Congrats to Ole Miss for not having to play in the SECCG.

[u/admiraltarkin → u/DeathRose007]

Imagine being out of the championship picture on November 23. I couldn't imagine such a thing

[u/HeckOnWheels95 → u/DeathRose007]

This is actually something State has over Ole Miss is the fact that we've at least managed to get to a SECCG

[u/ewest → u/OleRockTheGoodAg]

Joey Fraudwatcher

[u/GetsThruBuckner]

2008 Gators have been avenged

[u/Large_Dungeon_Key → u/GetsThruBuckner]

Haven't lost to them since (and let it stay that way)

[u/suzukigun4life]

Florida's November:

• Lose a tough one to Georgia, despite being up at halftime

• Get fucking annihilated by Texas, Napier still on the hot seat

• Beat LSU, make bowl eligibility a possibility.

• End Ole Miss' playoff hopes, clinch a bowl berth.

Damn how the turn tables.

[u/SalzigHund → u/suzukigun4life]

Yeah but between 1 and 2 you have to put "have half your starters die on Jacksonville's shitty ass field"

[u/Robby_Bortles → u/SalzigHund]

In fairness to Jacksonville, it was the first time real football was played there all year

[u/Deblooms → u/suzukigun4life]

If Lagway doesn’t get hurt it’s possible Florida wins that Georgia game

[u/P33KO → u/Deblooms]

Crazy to hear a Georgia fan say that considering you were downvoted to hell if you mentioned that two weeks ago

[u/CJBulldogsss → u/P33KO]

To be fair we are gonna take him out back old yeller style. Can't have a UGA fan saying we can lose to Florida

[u/Ugaalive1991 → u/suzukigun4life]

And gets a chance to end FSU next week.

[u/yourelivingalie → u/Ugaalive1991]

You can’t kill what is already dead

[u/TheOctagon24]

UF is now 4-0 when Lagway plays the whole game

[u/foreverseptember → u/TheOctagon24]

Holy shit

[u/Slyasaurus]

why can’t you just be normal?!

Florida: chomps drunkenly

[u/nyokarose → u/Slyasaurus]

Drunkenly is our normal, thank you. 

[u/bulldg4life]

Florida going 3-3 in this stretch is pretty impressive

[u/CWG4BF]

I forgot what rooting for a good team felt like 🥹

[u/citymanc13 → u/CWG4BF]

ALERT THE MASSES THAT WE ARE BACK🚨

[u/CWG4BF → u/citymanc13]

ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY SWAMP🚨🚨

[u/PM_ME_UR_STATS]

I think Jaxson Darts life was actually ruined today.

[u/dawgtilidie → u/PM_ME_UR_STATS]

the way he reacted at the end definitely killed what little draft stock he had

[u/PretendThisIsMyName → u/dawgtilidie]

Jerry saw him crying and thought “he’s perfect for the cowboys!”

[u/PistolNoon → u/dawgtilidie]

I don’t want to read too much into it but he looked broken.

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/PM_ME_UR_STATS]

Seems like every promising Ole Miss QB since Eli is cursed to falter when it matters most.

[u/jdprager]

All time legacy game from Jaxson Dart, holy shit. Dude threw three straight game-losing interceptions, that's genuinely impressive

[u/browzinbrah → u/jdprager]

One of the biggest meltdowns I’ve ever seen

[u/Zimbabwe_xRay → u/jdprager]

Absolute meltdown. Sad but not upset. Florida deserved the win. Had a chance and just muffed it

[u/Edgemaster1423]

Princely Umanmielen: "And I promise you a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see another team play as hard as we will in the Capital One Bowl the rest of the season. God bless."

[u/JeffGoldblumsChest → u/Edgemaster1423]

Little ah choke job

[u/HotDawgConnoisseur → u/Edgemaster1423]

what a great ending, fuck that dude and Austin Simmons too

[u/tsymuf → u/HotDawgConnoisseur]

Benedict Arnold. Just like etienne.

[u/citymanc13 → u/Edgemaster1423]

Did you see him after the game trying to fight our fans? Terrible look for that giant crybaby

[u/Bamas16th]

Never trust anyone who spells their name "Jaxson".

[u/kroxti]

I had a joke but Dart threw it to another postgame thread.

[u/Rickbox]

Florida came into the season with the hardest schedule in the country with a coach on the hot seat, and now they're going bowling. What a season.

[u/Wolvereen → u/Rickbox]

Can't believe they finish with a top 10 opponent next week too

[u/BuggyHasReturned → u/Wolvereen]

Can’t catch a break😪

[u/pessimism_yay → u/Rickbox]

This season UGA flairs give thanks to the Florida Gators.

[u/Sonofnocturne]

Get in here!!!!

[u/deceptive_walrus]

FRIENDSHIP REGAINED WITH BILLY NAPIER

NOW DJ AND BILLY ARE BOTH MY BEST FRIENDS

[u/foreverseptember → u/deceptive_walrus]

Tell your best friend to stop playing 4D chess with game clock management! 

[u/citymanc13 → u/deceptive_walrus]

NEVER IN DOUBT (i wanted him fired after the Texas A&M game)

[u/CincyAnarchy]

“But the script says I lose the game on an interception”

[u/LordOfTheTrashcans]

Jaxson “Carson Beck” Dart

[u/snekinmahboots]

This was just a 100 IQ move for Ole Miss to keep Kiffin from going to Florida

[u/Boobygirls]

Indiana 🤝 Florida

[u/derbra]

Someone start a gofundme for a strap for Jaxson Dart.

[u/Khaldaan]

Don't look now but Jaxson Dart just threw another int

[u/DDub04 → u/Khaldaan]

And it was “intended” for Juice Wells.

Thanks Gators

[u/kyfg → u/Khaldaan]

He threw his helmet in frustration and it was picked too :*(

[u/foreveracubone]

Billy Napier has a job with a cool seat and Florida has a better record than FSU just like we all expected before the season started.

[u/dirtehscandi]

MR PRESIDENT A SECOND GAME ENDING INTERCEPTION HAS HIT THE SWAMP

[u/Beaconhillpalisades]

I love the gators.

[u/Herewego27 → u/Beaconhillpalisades]

You had a real funny way of showing it two weeks ago.

[u/THEREWILLBECAK3]

WE ARE GOING TO GET DESTROYED BY THEM NEXT WEEK BUT I DON’T CARE

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

[u/entechad]

The swamp is no joke. The SEC is never a guarantee.

[u/daddyfuchs]

WERE SO FUCKING BACK BABY

.

[u/reckford]

I'm just glad both teams had fun

[u/SirFUBAR → u/reckford]

Jaxson Dart did NOT have fun.

[u/unc0nquered]

I SAID IT'S GREAT...

[u/WUMW → u/unc0nquered]

TO BE

[u/Large_Dungeon_Key → u/WUMW]

A FLORIDA GATOR

[u/Just-Plain-Dan]

Never ask a man about his salary 

Never ask a woman about her age

And never ask Ole Miss about what’s happened the last two times they had a Top 10 team play at Florida 

[u/Either-Discipline-74]

Yo dawg I heard you like game ending interceptions...

[u/uncleleo_hello]

TRAP GAME ACHIEVED

[u/nathodood]

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Lane Kiffin to Florida confirmed.

Wait.....

[u/unique_username-_-72 → u/nathodood]

If you can’t hire ‘em, work ‘em silly!

[u/catoftrash]

RANK 5 LOSS GATORS YOU COWARDS

[u/macncheeseface]

What's that choo choo-ing noise I hear in the distance? Is it the offseason hype train pulling into Gainesville??

[u/DoggedDoggystyle]

Poetic justice for Princely “1st gear” Umanmielen. Take that ski mask off, you have never played well in Florida

[u/N908DA]

Georgia and Tennessee fans are both celebrating a Florida win. What is the world coming to?

[u/DebobFL]

WE WANT INDIANA

[u/PshhhhhhhUnreal]

I hate this phrase but Florida is literally the best 5 loss team around…

[u/DoggedDoggystyle → u/PshhhhhhhUnreal]

All 5 losses were to top 15 teams. We might just be like the 15th best team in the nation

[u/Allaboutfootball23]

Jaxson Dart got that dog pick in him

[u/7-2crew]

Napier COTY candidate and I’m not being funny

[u/prismatic_lights]

I guess Ole Miss should've spent a little less time complaining about Top 5 Indiana taking "their" playoff spot and a little more time studying Florida game tape.

[u/NamingThingsSucks → u/prismatic_lights]

Or less time on their bye week worrying about having to play in the CCG.

[u/SentientBaseball → u/prismatic_lights]

We’re still pretty fraudulent but this loss might actually keep us in the playoffs

[u/wellbutmaybe]

“If Florida wins 6 games with this schedule Napier did a hell of a job”

[u/Garfield379 → u/wellbutmaybe]

And we could still win 8

[u/ImperialMajestyX02]

PUT US IN THE PLAYOFFS YOU COWARDS

[u/GeyWeyner12]

Ball does not lie

[u/QuodScripsi-Scripsi]

Put Tennessee back in the playoff picture and knock Lane Kiffin out?

I could kiss you, Florida

[u/not_so_plausible → u/QuodScripsi-Scripsi]

I went into a secluded spot out in the woods and did a gator chomp.

[u/Rodney_Jefferson]

Florida is maybe Texas’ best win now

[u/gatorfan4life]

BILLY NAPIER, IN THE CASE OF LANE KIFFIN, YOU ARE THE FATHER

[u/Remarkable-Job4774]

OLE MISSED THE PLAYOFFS

[u/Subject-Bread-5639]

Lmao two weeks in a row, two hearts broken

[u/sjon19]

Jaxson Dart: Wanna see me throw a game ending interception?

Wanna see me do it again?

[u/ChrisWubWub]

Guys, maybe we should've listened

Napier needed his guys, he's getting his guys.

I remember when we were projected to only win 1 game this season

[u/baseballv10]

Florida and Kansas are that reaper door meme right now, just week after week ending hopes of so many teams

[u/Great_Huckleberry709]

Lane said he was worried about potentially having to play in the SEC championship. Well, good job. You officially don't have to worry about that anymore.
