You gotta give it to The Orlando Sentinel's Edgar Thompson for straight up asking Florida head football coach Jim McElwain if he is the man in this viral shark photo circulating online...

This is by far my favorite SEC story in years.

Can't wait to see the GameDay signs.

Walt OReilly•106 months

He looks guilty af in that video

OceanMan•106 months

Definitely him

Rougaroux•106 months

Would have been cooler if he thought it was funny. The fact that he doesnt proves that its him.

Black n Gold•106 months

Seems to me that if it wasn't him, he would be laughing off a little more, rather than being so serious about it.

John Gotti•106 months

eh...I don't blame him for being serious...he expected to have professional questions about football and other things relevant to his job. Instead he was asked if he was a shark fricker.

Farkwad•106 months

It is Jim, but I always thought of him as a bottom, interesting...

baobabtiger•106 months

It's so him.

drexyl•106 months

That was a pretty weak denial. It's definitely him.

McIlwain: "It'a definitely not me. I only hump hammerhead sharks."

young man tiger•106 months

I never actually thought it was McElwain. And then I watched this video...

Lsuchs•106 months

Only way to prove it's not him is to get naked with a shark and release photo for comparison

BigPerm30•106 months

Why is he so uptight? What a douche. Have fun with it.

Lsu101205•106 months

Just zoom in on the teeth, it cant be that hard to figure out.

jlnoles79•106 months

I wish he would have had some fun with it.

Quatre Pot•106 months

oh he's guilty!!!!!

thatthang•106 months

I couldn't have kept a straight face on the response if I were McElwain.

bayourougebengal•106 months

Unless maybe the rumors were true and you had to defend yourself from the backlash...

dagrippa•106 months

Yea his reaction to it makes me wonder

RidiculousHype•106 months

Where is the 4chan investigation into this? I'm sure they could ID the shark humper in a matter of minutes using context clues from the rest of the photo.

bountyhunter•106 months

Not a big deal, not like it was a Gator. If it was Petrino he would have no trouble humping a Gator half his age.

Dignan•106 months

Judge all you want, but you have to admit that shark is an OT 9.
