Guest Toolio Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Why would you be a fan if you did not go to the school idiot? Explan that one. I like their colors or mascot ? WHY THE HELL ARE YOU A FAN OF A UNIVERSITY YOU DID NOT ATTEND ? BECAUSE YOUR PARENTS LIKE THEM OR ATTENDED ? SO WHAT ! You know you are fighting a losing battle when you resort to personal insults and the caps lock key.My point was simple, you don't have to go to a school to be a fan. My father was a lifelong Gator fan. Did he go to UF? No. He went into the military instead. When he came back from Viet Nam, he got married and they both went to school locally.But he still listened to the Gators every weekend and brought me up as a Gator fan. And it was one of the proudest moments in his life when I received my acceptance letter from UF.These are simple concepts... I'm sorry that you are struggling to understand them.

Guest Toolio Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Awesome quote and very accurate. Actually, dealing with Red Sox fans is easier. You don't have to see or hear them nearly as often and being from a real city(not a college surrounded by mud holes), there tends to be a little more culture out of them.I'm guessing you've never been to Gainesville. Florida Museum of Natural History? The Harn? The Hippodrome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess what I hate them and want USF to beat them in everything. Why ? Because its my school. WOW that is a novel idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest S. Bien Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Pretty straight forward if you attend a college you shouldn't cheer for another school, particularly on that campus or in the face of other students.Should you graduate from that school you better put all your support and attention into your school because that's what is the mark of a man. I look at loyalty, and that's what sets people apart. If you can't even support your school regardless of it's size or relation to other schools then that's weak. You're apt to switch on a dime, probably not decisive, and clearly not loyal.There are ways to handle it, and clearly one can celebrate a UF win a nice beer, good adda boy, but you don't go buy shirts, party like it's 1999, or celebrate if your a student or graduate of another 1-A school. You either need to slow down the partying a tad, or start remembering your roots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this thread was law, we would have to burn all of our stuff supporting any other school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
