For those of you who haven't seen this on AvWeb.
Apparently the Gators' win was totally unexpected and inflicted quite a bit
of damage on the Bulldogs' ego. Hence the response.

Short Final
On a recent trip in my Cirrus from KSAV to KPDK, I had this exchange with
Atlanta Approach. (This was right after the FL-GA football game where the
Gators won ... again.)
ATL:
"N267CP, you are cleared to PDK via the TRBOW8 arrival. Proceed direct from
present position to TRBOW."
N267CP (me) :
"N267CP cleared direct TRBOW for the TRBOW8. Are you sure that shouldn't be
renamed TEBOW for the beating that your Bulldogs took?"
ATL:
"N267CP, one more remark about the beatdown, and I will amend your clearance
to IAH, LAX direct PDK!"
N267CP "N267CP O.K. TRBOW8 it is!"
ATL:
"Smart man."
