With punter-turned-kicker Chas Henry waiting through an “ice the kicker” timeout on Saturday, Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham appeared to give Florida’s player the international sign for “choke.”

Florida fans are forwarding video captures of the overtime gestures to various media outlets. (Including this one). Jeff Schultz of The AJC has been trying to track down Grantham or Mark Richt for a comment on the coach’s gesture. (You can click the headline of this story to see the photo at full size.)

Is this an end of the world thing? No. But it’s not exactly a positive either. Suffice to say, it’s rare for a 44-year-old man to give the choke sign to a 21-year-old kid.
