GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Urban Meyer and Mark Richt would have you think there are no ill feelings after Richt's Georgia team stormed the field on the first score of a 42-30 win against Florida last year.

OK. They tried. But here's the truth.

"We've had a picture of them all dancing in our locker room ... there's been a lot of stuff like that," confessed Gators quarterback Tim Tebow.

So does Florida plan to do the same thing this year?

"Oh, no," receiver Percy Harvin said. "That's not been our style. When teams do that, they expect not to score. We plan on putting points on the board, so we don't need that."

No huge display to show up the Bulldogs?

"We don't celebrate here," Harvin said. "We go hug a big man (offensive lineman) and thank the people who got us in the end zone."

Both coaches have told their players to keep their comments about the celebration in the locker room and not in the newspapers. Both insist that's old news. Richt, in fact, said Sunday that he won't address it publicly, referring reporters to comments he made in July at the preseason media gathering.

But is it a psych job? The wonder, undoubtedly, will continue until at least the conclusion of Saturday's game, when No. 8 Georgia (7-1 overall, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) and No. 7 Florida (6-1, 4-1) meet for leadership in the Eastern Division and a possible spot in the SEC title game Dec. 6 with a Bowl Championship Series berth on the line.

Richt has claimed he never told the entire team to run onto the field. He's apologized to the league and to Florida. But feelings appear to remain bruised on the Gators' side.

"It still ... even today you still have hard feelings about it," Tebow said. "As a football player and as an athlete you've got to learn to bounce back and learn from your losses and get over them, especially when you're extremely passionate. That's something you've got to learn early, because you're going to have losses."

Last December, while being interviewed for a biography titled "Urban's Way," Meyer said, "That wasn't right. That was a bad deal. And it will forever be in the mind of Urban Meyer and in the mind of our football team."

Back in July, Richt said he was trying to fire up his team, that he was concerned about the lack of emotion shown earlier in the 2007 season.

"I was kind of wondering what went wrong," he said. "As I looked around, I was seeing that everybody was kind of waiting on someone else to do something, coaches and players. I was kind of getting mad at them until I looked in the mirror and realized that they were just basically reflecting me. I was sitting there watching, waiting for somebody to do something, too. ... I knew it had to start with me. And then it did kind of catch fire, you know."

So he called the players together in the days leading to the Florida game and told them his plan - to let the Bulldogs celebrate and show fire and emotion after their first touchdown against the Gators.

What happened, he claims, was an accident. The entire squad stormed the field.

Georgia went on to thump Florida and win its remaining four games by a combined 141-60.

Since his one comment for the book about "The Incident," as some have called it, Meyer has kept pretty quiet. Likewise, with Richt.

Meyer's lone comment Monday when asked about the celebration: "The reason we lost that game a year ago is because we were very, very poor on defense. We didn't tackle well. We were out of coverage a couple of times. And we didn't protect the quarterback. It's not because the sun was a certain way or the color of shoes we wore. It was those reasons and if we don't fix that, we won't be successful again this year."
