Very Happy the Gators Lost

[Bull Dozer]

Gator Haters unite. I agree, I root for a Florida loss ALWAYS. Too many "adopted" Gator fans in the Bay area. If you went there, fine. If your relative went there, maybe. If you've got no direct ties to UF and you want to root for a college football team and you live here, root for USF. (And not as your No. 2 team either).

I follow what you are saying but why does that necessarily mean I need to hate them? Wy do you hate them? What did that school ever do to you personally?

I don't get that.

This is the read i get from most people who hate any of the big 3.  Some fan of one of the schools made fun of the bulls and called the bulls a low level program or something to that effect and they got mad had no retort because we havent accomplished very much YET in our short history.  So now they hate that school and its fans because someone gave them the ribbing that comes with being a high level college football fan and mixed it with a heavy dose of truth.  You caring about them losing and celebrating it only gives them ammo when they accuse you and this program of having an inferiority complex.  Like Mike G you should careless about what they do unless we are playing them, or it has a direct effect on what bowl we go to.

My hating them has nothing to do with the Bulls. Growing up, Gator fans were the most obnoxious around, epsecially for not having done crap in the overall scheme of things. When a good friend from high school got a scholly from FSU that pretty much galvanized my hatred ...

Dont know how old you are (so it may not be the time you were growing up)  but during the 90's they dominated the SEC, and have won a NC.  During the past 15 years or so they are one of the best programs in the country, same with FSU who pretty much did the same during that time frame but in the ACC.  They may not have a successful history dating way back like say a michigan, notre dame, navy etc but very few programs have won a NC or had a streach like they did in the 90's, like FSU had in the 90's, or the 80's and early 90's miami teams.  To say they dont have a storied history would be correct but to say they havent doen anything isnt true at all.

Miami had a better history then UF and FSU combined during that same time frame. A storied history would be Miami. Consistently winning would be more appropriate for UF and FSU during that time frame.

to keep that opinion in perspective, ET is not a USF grad or former student (I think). He is a huge fan though -- and that is important. He donates time, money, and spreads the word about the Bulls. We could benefit from a bunch of fans like that. Not going to our school is not as important as supporting our team. I know some alumni who don't give a crap about USF -- sad to say but true.

True...but I also don't consider ET an obnoxious Redneck
